The contest: Hello! I'm glad you were interested enough to check out my personal art contest! (:
This contest is specifically made for artists who draw.~
You see, I unfortunately am only a writer with very poor drawing skills. I want what all writers want at one point in their lives. An illustration.
I want an illustration of one of my characters. Unfortunately, I have no visual references for you to work with, but I have my descriptions! ;A; Please enter and read further if you are interested! Thank you, even if you choose to stop reading here! <3 ;-;
What you have to do: Draw a design using current information and text references for my OC. (Original character).
Who is he?: His name is Vindice. King Vindice. My regular watchers should know who he is. C:
Basic info: Vindice is the king of a falling kingdom called Riun. His ultimate goal is to determine the true definition of humanity while not losing his own humanity in the process.
Personality: Vindice is an elegant, mysterious man. He refuses to wear customary king robes and instead wears a simple black suit (red tie included) with his crown. He is not very fond of making public appearances or making speeches. Instead, he perfers to spend his time reading in the Royal Library.
He is sarcastic, yet he is polite. He is compassionate and cares for the geniune good of his kingdom. His flaws include his short temper and impulsive thoughts.
He has no role models. He believes that he should be his
own role model. Instead, he only has people that he does
not want to be like. One of these people includes the literary character of King Midas from "Midas and The Golden Touch". This story also happens to ironically be one of his favorites.
He speaks very formally, trying his very best to avoid contractions.
Some of his famous quotes include:
"You may address me as Vindice."
"...It is a matter of an individual's opinion."
Appearance: As mentioned above, Vindice wears elegant black suits instead of the traditional king robes. Even so, he is forced to wear his crown when out in public because of Riun's strict rules.
He has straight, black hair and vibrant brown eyes. In a certain light, his eyes appear almost red. Throughout the story, Vindice halluncinates and only sees the color of his eyes as red. In your entry, you may color his eyes either brown or red.
He is a tall man with broad shoulders. He has a gentle, yet frightening smile.
What you can draw him doing:
- A simple standing pose. Keep in mind he has a very distinct way of standing. He stands up straight with his hands placed behind his back. His head, also, very, very, very slightly, tilted.
-You can draw him sitting on a throne.
-You can draw him reading in any way shape or form.
-You can draw him looking at the sky. (This one is more personal to the actual story line, so I won't reveal any specific spoliers to this one. If you choose to draw him in this pose, just be sure that I can see his face!).
-You can draw him doing whatever you picture a king like him doing! Be creative. The poses mentioned above are just some ideas! C:
Rules:
QUICK UPDATE: It no longer NEEDS to be a full body image! Sorry if I caused any inconvenience! ;_; (Though a full body image is preferred, other images will now be accepted. Be sure to draw a full body image of King Vindice. This means from the crown on his head to the shoes on his feet!~Backgrounds are not required, but preferred.
Digital and traditional media will be accepted.
Completed entries only! Add color. No sketches or WIPs. Traditional entries with good resolution please!
Please give me credit for my character in the artist's description. A simple "Vindice belongs to ~BurningGlory" works!
Comment here if you're planning to enter so I can add you to the list of participants.
Do NOT watch me in an attempt to stay updated on the contest! I will personally note all participants with updates!~ (which is why I need you to comment so that you are on the list! XD)
Nothing mature will be accepted or tolerated.
Judges:
I will personally be the only judge in this contest. He's my character, and whatever entry I like best should win! I think it's fair... XD (I obviously will take other things into account though. These things will include artistic ability, effort, creativity, etc.)
The deadline for this contest is on NOVEMBER 18, 2013.
Fun fact!: Why November 18th? Two of my friends have their birthday on November 18! XD One of them in fact has a dA account! ;D Wish her a happy birthday on November 18 if you wish ;D
Luminous98 hehe, but don't let her know I sent you.~ xD
