Dear raiders, the judging of our first grand art contest is almost complete :la::la:

We will be announcing the winners tomorrow, Nov 11 2012, so make sure to check for a journal update!! Nervous much? :eager::eager:


 


Dear Raiders, we’re thrilled to announce that after long weeks of preparations we are finally ready to launch
our first grand art contest!



You do know all these gorgeous promotional artworks, don’t you?



And do you know how those were created? All these masterpieces used to be very rough sketches once, like this:



Many of you definitely know how fascinating the process of an artwork’s creation is - how the idea turns into a sketch, how the sketch turns into a breathtaking artwork. Tomb Raider Empire offers you a chance to walk in the shoes of creative directors yourselves and invites to join the contest



So what are you to do here? As the name suggests, you need to create a promotional artwork for your favourite Tomb Raider part! The team of Tomb Raider Empire made 16 rough sketches (2 for each part). Your task is to choose one or two and breathe life into them using your tools of the trade!

Disclaimer – note that this is CONCEPT art and some of the sketches aren't exact copies of events that took place in the games – they're artistic interpretations of locations and actions with some details added.  However, each sketch contains enough to indicate the scene by which it was inspired. The sketches are there also to help you with proportions and perspective in your artworks.





:bulletblack: A contestant is to choose one or two of the sketches and develop the concept further.

:bulletblack: You can NOT change the poses or omit any of the objects that are present on the sketch.

:bulletblack: You CAN add whatever you feel like to the given objects and develop the concept in the way you see it, also meaning you CAN change the perspective to some extent (if it fits the composition better, depending on how you will further develop the concept), but the pose and main idea must remain the same.

:bulletblack: You may NOT download a sketch file and then continue working on that very file (color/overpaint/manipulate it  in Photoshop or any other software) – you have to create your artwork from scratch (redraw it yourself) using the sketches as references!

Accepted media – ALL MEDIA ALLOWED – that means digital, traditional, traditional and digital mixed (no collaborations allowed, the work must be solely yours), photomanipulations, cosplay, etc.

- Note about Cosplay and Photomanipulations – if you feel like the given concepts are impossible for you to develop through cosplay only, you are allowed to photomanipulate your Cosplay photos to make them fit for this contest! However, if you use stocks without permission or without crediting them, your entry will NOT be accepted!

Here is the preview of all the sketches!
