Hello members of

I want to start a series of contests for this group, like a contest for every season.
I thought about a topic for a group so diverese and came up with the 4 elements: earth, fire, air, and water.

So for spring I would like to start with the element EARTH.

The idea:
Every artist can make an artwork for the topic earth. Those of you, who like to do dragons can submit artworks with earth-dragons, or tree-dragons, or what other creative ideas you have; those of you, who love to do fairies can submit flower-fairies, earth-fairies, or what other creative ideas you have; those of you, who like to do monsters and demons can submit earth-monsters; and so on...
I hope that the topic earth is a broad enough subject for every fantasy-artist to work with.

RULES

All sorts of materials/media are allowed: photography, digital/traditional art, crafts, etc.

Every artist can submit 3 entries, which should be related to the topic earth. This means, the artworks have to be made especially for the contest. One is not allowed to just sumbit an old artwork!

And of course the DA rules and our group rules (no nudity, no offensive language) have to be accpeted.

Deadline:
31 May 2012

Prizes: I'm still thinking about that. If someone wants to offer to take requests from the 3 winners, please send me a note or comment on this blog.

First place: 60 points, free-request (traditional) done by BlackJakeRandom

Sencond place: 40 points, traditional lineart with character of choice done by BlackJakeRandom

Third place: 20 points, traditional lineart with character of choice done by BlackJakeRandom

Prize Donations welcome!

Judging: After the contest ended, all the entries will be judged by me and at least 1 other judge. If someone wants to be a judge for this contest, please send me a note or comment on this blog. Judges cannot sumbit entries!
