Waaaaugh.
1 month left of classes. Then I'm graduated. and Then you guys'll actually see work I feel like/is worth sharing.
I have rarely done anything for school that I'm remotely pleased with/able to scan.
PS -- Art contest IS STILL ON!
SEE BELOW.
FIRST EVAR ART CONTEST.Art contests really do seem to be all the rage right now, but I really can't resist throwing my hat into the ring as well! I have been debating over ideas for what exactly this contest should even BE about, had soem wild ideas, but then decided I'd keep it simple.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to draw my main "furry" character and alter-ego, Dani-kitty, in another time/place/culture/universe. It can be as simple as a costumed pin-up, or as complicated as a full scene. She's leaving the scarf and the stompy boots at home for this one!
Adherance to theme and attention to detail is a MUST for this contest, and is more important than technical "skill". I want to see that entrants have done a little research and gotten reference for their pieces to make them historically viable. This isn't to say you shouldn't have fun -- on the contrary! Use this as an opportunity to experiment stylistically and do something you might not normally! (Anachronisms are permitted and welcomed-- ESPECIALLY if you're going for alternate histories /places i.e. steampunk / Bas Luhrman's Romeo+Juliet or Moulin Rouge)
Also-- feel free to genderbend a bit! She's as comfortable in men's garb as she is in frilly dresses!
Dani reference guide:
dani-kitty.furtopia.org/refere…Things to avoid: Most Anime / Videogames -- I have nothing against them, but I don't keep up with EITHER anymore. If the anime isn't on Cartoon network, I probably haven't watched it. As for videogames, anything beyond Sega Genesis or Pokemon is beyond me.
LotR / Generic Fantasy -- As much as I swoon over "bishie elf boys" -- this isn't what I'm looking for!
Star Trek / Strict Sci-fi -- I'm a Star Wars girl, yo.
