Official KOF12 Fan Art Contest; 1st Prize $1000

thought some of ya’ll would be interested:

good luck to everyone who tries out

Damn, $1000 bucks? That kills Udon’s tribute by a country mile.

Only downside to this is that an easy contest like this is going to bring out some killer talent.

That counts me out, it’s only open to people in the USA, maybe next time.

i cant use photoshop i will lose…

checks out site…

holy crap look at the entries

then learn to use a different material. I’m amazed that there are people out there who still thinks Photoshop = skills. Photoshop is just a tool.

Where is the instruction for the file size limit? I can only get to the general rules of the contest. Are you not suppose to have any background for your characters? Seems to me like no one is putting in backgrounds.

Seriously. There’s guys out there who can demolish a lot of digital artists with just paper and an ink pen. Travis Charest immeadiately comes to mind.

i didnt say photoshop is skills, but lets face it. most art contests are looking for that, whether they say it or not. it gives a cleaner look

If you are using coloured pencils, then maybe you have a point (but it’s still not impossible), but if you can use other mediums like acrylics or water colours, then you’re laughing. I agree with Dreaded Fist, Photoshop is just a tool.

I can’t enter either with the US restriction. I can’t seem to view the entries, it appears for a split second then vanishes.

Dreaded Fist - It’s still early, later entires will probably feature backgrounds

well i never said that photoshop means skills. and yes you can win without photoshop, but color pencils and water colours is hard as well, very permanent. thats why i always give those guys who dont photoshop a lot of props. photoshop isnt easy work, but neither is doing it without photoshop.

the art there is kickass

wow - that’s a really bad website to navigate.

the website navigation is horrible? I cant even get clear rules. to whats the size limits and stuff are.

This
I don’t use PS alot and it use to intimidate me, but I’ve seen some crazy traditional art
Dun worry Ryustar, give it a try.

Color traditionally and make a few adjustments in PS

You guys should do this. Sounds like a cool contest. Represent srk. Not doing the contest, just came by to say you better do the contest haha.

If you click on fanart, the link is at the bottom and they will explain the rules from there. Yeah, the website design is wack. Took me some time to realize the globe on the right hand side opens up and you can navigate fro there.

i noticed people are doing characters that aren’t actually in kofxii, what’s the deal? and yeah, why is the site so hard to navigate?
