I Was Tagged & The Steampunk Collaboration Con

Journal Entry: Thu Jan 8, 2009, 1:55 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
6. A commission 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. Even if all you can give is some feature time. 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.

*Rules*
Go to urbandictionary.com and type in your answers to the following questions.
Post the first definition it gives you.
Tag 3 people. I won’t because I dislike tagging others.

1.) Your name? Grey Malkin
“Grey Malkin isn't defined yet.”

2.) Your age? 28
“Rule 28 - 1 definition - There will always be more fucked up shit than what you just saw.”
There was no plain definition for 28 so I took the best one. The first one was about the film “28 Days Later”

3.) One of your friends? M.
“The elusive place known mostly as the M, M, or GenMay”

4.) What should you be doing? Unpacking
“To take things out of one's suitcase and put them in their proper locations. normal people do this. procrastinators do not.”

5.) Favorite color? Gray
“A beautiful shade, either dark or light. People with the last name Gray are usually mysterious, intriguing, and will mesmerize you.”
This was the first and by far the nicest definition on the page. The others were… not.

6.) Birthplace? Cardiff
“A place in Wales where the locals enjoy such diverse passtimes as drinking, abusing drugs, and fighting.”

7.) Month of your birth? March
“Month in which creative, layed-back, dreamy, cool people were born.”
I don’t make this stuff up, friends. I just live it. :wink:

8.) Last person you talked to? Sean
“a sexy/hot/awsome person”
Hey, buddy, ego boost!

9.) One of your nicknames? Grezzzy
“Grezzzy isn't defined yet.”

FEATURE
The feature this month is ~Megumi-Selwyn.

Megumi has a fantastic eye for anatomy, one of my favorite subjects.

She also does well with one of my least favorite subjects, horses.

Craftiness abounds.

Here is the dear herself.

I have started on drawing the first scene of "The Plunge" (which is probably the only scene I'll draw because the current one I'm working on is complex), and wow, it sure is difficult to draw it the way I see it. Hopefully I'll get it finished in time, especially since I'm not pleased with how it's turning out... it may not be colored, but I hopefully will submit it.
:iconcxsankh:
Just realized it's going to have to be another one, hence the term "sequential", haha. I drifted away and thought I was just creating a representation. I'll aim for two then.
:iconvictoriangentleman:
I don't care if you only draw stick figures. When I say I want anything I mean ANYTHING. You could dress barie dolls up and take pictures of them for all I care. I just want to see SOMETHING.

You'll do great.

Well, I could do something simple, but I'm not. I'm putting forth effort because it is a wonderful and interesting short story, and an actual drawing would do it much more justice than stick figures. The only thing I might slump down to is something with the Sims 2, designing the characters/clothes there...

Plus, it gives me a challenge. ;)

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
