PJM 2014 – Art Contest

by

This post officially closes the Writing Contest. Winners will be announced Sunday 23rd.

And with this post also begins the Art Contest, yay! This one will be held in one round and will be open for everyone. I will put the rules in a Q&A fashion, as that it easier to read and comprehend. On we go.

What is the Art Contest?

The Art Contest is your chance to show of your drawing abilities and to get featured into the first PJM issue! The big winner will also receive a free copy sent to his home.

What do I have to do?

You have to submit a fairly large drawing intended to be fit alone on an A4 sheet of paper. It can be any style, anything you want, as long as it has to do with Pokémon. It should also have zero to little text, as it should be an artpiece and not a comic.

Where do I send it to?

You can email me at ‘magazine at pokejungle.net’ with an at-sign instead of at.

Technical details?

These are important. If you don’t submit it like it is said here, your entrance may be invalid. I’ll mail you back if that is the case however. The picture itself has to be around  2480 x 3508 and must closely maintain the aspect ratio of 1:1.41 (width:height). I’ll only accept uncompressed .png, no jpg, gif or Photoshop formats. Your image is best zipped to a zipfile and attached as an attachment to your mail, in order to avoid compression by mail services. Certainly don’t use an image host to sent it to me, their results are horribly compressed.

How much time do I have?

The contest’s closing date will be announced at a later date, but you have plenty of time.

Can I include my signature?

You not only can but you have to include your artist’s signature so we and everyone else know it is your work. Keep in mind you’ll still be the owner of the artpiece, but you have to give us a free license to allow your work being published in the magazine, in exchange for a copy of the magazine itself.

I’ve got some questions not mentioned here

You can always mail me at the email address given above. Note: I do not give free personal interviews. Contact my agent for that.

Update:

Of course it can (and should) be a digital drawing. Who still uses manual tools when we’ve got a whole range of electronics to aid us. Besides, a direct image is always in higher quality than a scan or picture :).

 

I’ll be sure to write a reminder the coming weeks. Now I have to tackle writing some additional for PJM, work never seems to be done, ugh. Luckily I have two free weekends coming up! 😀 Happy commenting!

P.S. I need sleep. I hate waking up at 6 am in the morning in the weekends.

  2. I’m doing a new thing everyday for competitive battlers. Its me, Ithsme (lol), saying a thought or a strategy that is unique. I have a friend who can think of things some other peopl cant and I alter them a bit. So above I’ll do the first one as an example.

  15. I feel bad for Verlis. I sometimes watch his OP videos, and they give me good ideas. So if this is the start of some “war” like he said, I’m all for non-smogon.

  17. So during the bus ride, I hatched a batch of Koffing, then I went and check their IVs, after that, I tipped the poet in Kiloude City 1000, then went back to Route 7 and checked on the berry field, and pulled some weed. When I resume hatching, the first one was a SHINY KOFFING. 😀
    Male Shiny Koffing, Bold, 5 IV (except Special Defense), with Toxic Spikes and Pain Split.
    Followed with 3 perfect Koffings. XD
    This is the 4th shiny Pokemon I obtained while riding the bus. (The others being Gastly, Hawlucha, Frogadier)

      • Smogon community attacked a popular Youtuber because he disagree’s with Smogon. How they ban mega’s that he doesn’t have problems with etc… then the community decides to bash him and talk about his looks etc… Being petty towards someone who has opinions.

        • What does his look have to do with competitive play? People are ridiculous. I like Smogon because they offer great tips on move set and nature, but other than that, I don’t really follow much of their rules. This is what I mean about acting in an elitism manner. They think they are all high and mighty with their rules. Well, kudos go to the Youtuber for saying what he thinks is right.

      • My parents were watching Noticias 23. Did you know that they want to legalize medical marijuana here? I really don’t want them to 🙁 What do you think about this?

          • I don’t want pot heads everywhere XD Does FL really need more accidents? Marijuana is worse than alcohol. They are only doing it because of some kids with problems and the best medicine is marijuana. To be honest, I wish they would just move to Colorado or something instead of legalizing it here.

        • Yeah, I’ve heard about it. I personally don’t do any of that stuff so it really doesn’t affect me. It’s for medicinal use, not recreational so it’s not like you’re gonna see people walking around smoking like they do cigarettes. As a kid, you’re always conditioned that “Drugs are bad, don’t do them or you die”. It’s good intention but not always accurate. It’s proven to have medicinal value, so it’s not “bad”. You just shouldn’t be doing it if you don’t need to.

          • You have cancer and are in a lot of pain,here is some medical marijuana.

            “I’m bored and want to get stoned.” Too bad , go find something productive to do.

          • I mean, ANYONE can fake an illness or condition. How do the doctors REALLY know you suffer from anxiety? Yeah, it’s going to be abused, just like all the other illegal drugs are. The thing is though that it can be taxed, regulated, and can lower crime.

          • I read your above comment, the legalization won’t bring an increase in people smoking. The ones that need it or enjoy it are already doing it. The only difference is that you can’t get arrested if you have a license, nothing else changes. And sorry but, Alcohol is WAY more dangerous than Marijuana will ever be. Completely different levels. 😡 Like I said, I’ve never done it so I really don’t care. 😛

  24. Gee sure is a ghost town around here….. I WONDER WHAT DJJA IS DOING? Mai Boi this peace is what all pokejunglers strive to prevent.
