Steampunk Collaboration Contest

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 11, 2008, 12:26 PM
Steampunk Collaboration Contest! [link] Deadline: March 21st 2009
Steampunk Role Play: [link] Join!
___________________________________________________

This is an extension of my former contest which was supposed to end on December the 8th. However, I received such slim pickin’s that I decided to extend.

I wrote a story in the Steampunk vein and I want to see it made into visual art. This contest is sort of an audition but with prizes at the end if you win.

To Win:
Turn this short story [link] into a work of sequential art. Sequential means that you interpret the story in a series of images, one after another, that tells the story visually. This can be comic panels (most likely), or something more free form like a photographic series. It could also be animation or cinematography.

Character Reference:
[link] Your imagination will have to suffice for the other five characters.

Rules:
1. You may use ANY medium you like aside from literature.
2. Keep it Steampunk.
3. Yes, you may collaborate with other artist. However, I’m not going to give all five people who helped you a yearlong subscription. I wish I could, but I can’t.
4. Failing to finish your entry will not disqualify you. But, it won’t help you win either.
5. More than one submission per person is fine.

To Enter:
1. Please post your work in your gallery (obviously) with a link back to the original short story in the artist comments.
2. Please send a note to me with a link or thumbnail of your work.
3. Please exert some patience.

Prizes:
1. A six month feature in my journal.
2. A yearlong subscription to DA.
3. A three month subscription from *Audley
4. An item from the winner’s wish-list.
5. A six month journal feature from *MisforMurmur
____________
Aslo, if you want to participate in the contest but you don't do visual art, you could always donate a prize to the prize pool above. That would really help me out and draw in participants. Thank you.
____________

One last thing:
Depending on the strength of the entry and my desire to continue a new storyline, there may be a regular PAYING gig in this for you. This is entirely dependent on how often I write new material for the story and on how much you’re expecting and/or willing to be paid. In other words: I’m not promising anything spectacular and it would be non-contractual, but I would be happy to pay you for your work.

I'd enter (and I feel bad for not trying), but I'm not superb in any other art except for writing.
:iconvictoriangentleman:
I keep hearing that. But... I know you're lying. You see, I've seen your drawings. I've seen your sims stills. I know you do more than write.

Yeah, I do more than write, but I doubt my ability. My drawings aren't good enough to be considered for a contest,and I only took screenshots of the sims, I didn't actually draw/animate them.

But, now I suppose I will try. If I make collages, will those suffice?
:iconvictoriangentleman:
Just about anything will suffice. Seriously. I got one entry last time. One. So even if you draw crappy little stick figures, it would be more than nothing. What can it hurt? You may just win. You never know.

Well wishes,

:iconcxsankh:
I will try then. I have plenty of time.
:iconvictoriangentleman:
Excellent!

Is it alright if I submit different scenes in different deviations? For example, there are four major scenes I could collage, but I cannot combine them into one deviation, for the quality of the image wouldn't be as great. Even though, now that I've reread it, I'm thinking that drawing it may be best.
:iconvictoriangentleman:
Yes, you can submit as many deviations to the contest as you desire.

Thank you for extending the contest! I hadn't had time to finish my submission due to all the work that's piled up. :P

All I need to be happy is food, water, cigarettes, coffee, shelter, warm clothes, books, good company and a comfortable bed. And a lifetime pass to travel to anywhere in the world. :D
