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.

  17. You never know how annoying a pokemon song is,
    Until you listen to people on twitch trying to get through it for over an hour.

  20. In the beginning Helix created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Helix moved upon the face of the waters. And Helix said, Let there be light: and there was light. And Helix saw the light, that it was good: and Helix divided the light from the darkness.

    Helix brought forth Day and Night, Evening and Morning and created a firmament in the midst of the waters, so may it divide the waters from the waters. Helix called it Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

    And Helix said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

    And the evening and the morning were the third day.

    And Helix made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

    And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. And Helix said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

    And Helix created great Wailords, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and Helix saw that it was good.

    And Helix blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. And Helix said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

    And Helix made the Pokemon of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and Helix saw that it was good.

    And Helix said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

    And years passed. All was well. Helix was content. Until man betrayed him and he turned to stone. He became the Helix Fossil and became lost. Wars commenced, terrorism bestowed upon the earth, the Heaven closed off to mankind.

    However Twitch Plays Pokemon had found him in the darkness of a cave, rejoiced and following Helix Fossil in all his advice.

    “It is not the time to use this.” his words echo through our souls.

    All was well again.
