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.

  10. Now that there are more people here, i need ta ask an question. Why is it that gijinka’s are dressed like their Pokemon persona/parent/half etc. I mean, even humanizing a pokemon should make them more pokemon looking than an outfit and maybe an extremity or some hair

      • But that’s so frigin stupid. Someone who is a humanized Pokemon, or half Pokemon should half a longer, more canid face, and bone/metal protrusions from their chest/hands, and thick hair to simulate luc’s braid/dreads and possible pointed ears, and large broad hands and an intense sense of smell etc. not just dressing like a lucario.

          • See what i mean. It’s so much easier to say that it’s a fetish or a hobby than call them a totally different species altogether. That’s why i never use the term Gijinka, i call them Halflings, Half human and Half Pokemon

          • Why? Are you against interspecies mating? They aint nothing wrong wt it, i mean, most of rule 34 is goodra stuffs anywho since genn6

          • Nah, It’s jut that one of my fanfiction stars a bunch of half pokemon individuals, and Rule 34 had nothing to do with their creation, and im surprised that someone would think that it did.

          • nope, it was coined as a term for a humanized/anthropomorphic pokemon, and yet, they all look like cosplayers through and through. Not real antropomorphic pokemon which would look much closer to their pokemon half. It just bugs me how they say they are half pokemon, but have no real pokemon features outside of clothing or hair coloration.

  11. OHMIGODNO.
    Another Shiny Xatu.
    What do I do??

    And I might not be on tomorrow because I’m gonna be loopy from getting a tooth moved to the right place.
    I’ll PM Xatu too 😀

  18. GTG for a bit, brb. Also, Dead Or Alive and Tekken > Street Fighter. But my brother told it to me last night. “THere’s more muscle in one of Chun Li’s legs then in the entire cast of Dead or Alive”
