I so stole this from another forum.

What is a draw off? A draw off is where you pit your art against others in an artistic battle royale.

Unlike Fightsplosion where you put your characters to fight, in a draw off you create a character and put it in different situations and scenarios dedicated to a theme in particular.

These might be:
Sci Fi:
cyber heroes fighting crime with state of the art weaponry.
Real Life:
Grocery shopping.
Fantasy:
Fighting dragons in the name of glory.
Etc...

Rules

Someone
You will have a particular amount of time to render to specification an image set forth in the draw off description. After the deadline, a voting poll of sorts will exist where people can vote for the image(s) they like the most. The winner gets the choose the theme for the next draw off.

Pretty simple. These kinds of things exist in many other art forums and there's no reason we shouldn't have our own. Believe me when I say: They are plenty fun! Nonetheless, as this forum focuses primarily on learning it is your duty to challenge yourself and try new things. This may be a difficult pose or an elaborate background or simply finishing a drawing. There's a reason why the deadlines give you lots of time to work on this -- it's up to you to use that time.

As if it needed to be said, all imagery must abide by forum rules and regulations.

but wait... it's three pictures, right?... three genders?

No, just one entry.
The gender of the character being portrayed depends on the winner of this round, and the next, and the next, etc.

This is most intriguing. I have to say that I was super excited when I read the topic, though I kind of got slightly shot down when it's a public service worker. Poo. Oh well, that just means I have to win and pic the next topic, right? This is gonna be fun!

((On a side note, Red Slayer, is that a picture of Bridge from Power Rangers SPD as your avi?))

One of the purposes of the game is to challenge yourself, to try something you haven't done, or not used to do.

God forbid! That's Major Sheppard from SG Atlantis.

I understand that perfectly, but there are many ways to challenge yourself. Like you said. This will be a challenge to come up with the new characters. Hmmmm... What to do.

Anyways, sorry, they hold a striking resemblance. Especialy that expression. ^_^

Let me get this straight. Whomever wants to enter this round draws a picture using the critia set down, and the winner will be voted on or choosen when all is said and done?


I'm in on this.

Chosen by popular, open voting.

Uh, I boned it, got distracted or something.
*Dramatic withdrawal ensues.*

Next round, however, will be mine!

When it comes to submitting our finished works, how should we do so? Do we just put it up here in a reply, or do we send it to a certain e-mail, or what?

By the way, thanks so much for doing this. I'm having a great time with my piece.

Put it here, i'll make a thread for the voting to avoid clustering.

?

Excellent! First entry!

Awesome job, Acadia! Well, I guess it's my turn now!



^_^ There, it's done! Huzzah! I'm very proud of it. Character on the red poster provided with permission of Nigellashade, his artist, who holds all rights. She's a good friend of mine, too, so yeah. Hope everyone else has success!

C'mon people!
You only have 2 days left and we only have two entries.

The time is up and we only have two entries.


Voting will begin Monday.
