Technology & Nature Contest - New Prizes!

Journal Entry: Sat May 17, 2008, 3:23 AM


Technology & Nature Contest


This contest is all about bringing nature and technology into one photomanip or digital mixed media piece.

How you do that is completely up to you. You can show technology overpowering nature and the whole ecological desasters that would follow just as you can show a harmonious side-by-side of technology and nature. You can take it a step further and venture into science fiction, with cybernetic implants (yes, humans are part of nature for all I know ;P) and robots on green fields or whatever you can think of. You can keep it more abstract or depict a scene.

The only thing I HAVE to see in the end is that both technology AND nature are somehow represented.

Contest starts today and ends on June 27th 2008 midnight Berlin time.




Rules

The entry...
  • ...has to be created for this contest and submitted to deviantArt after April 27th 2008
  • ...has to incorporate both Technology AND Nature in any fashion imaginable, humans are part of nature
  • ...can be a Photomanipulation or Digital Mixed Media piece (the point being you have to use the pic, not just reference it - painting over something is ok, too, it just has to be kinda obvious it was my stock underneath)
  • ...has to use one piece of stock from *kuschelirmel-stock's gallery, so that it is clearly noticable in the end. This means that slapping a texture over everything and saying "this was the required piece of stock" will not cut it - also, css journals and tutorials are off-limits as they are not stock for manips
  • ...has to be sent via note to this account (please, don't note my main account or I'm likely to forget or the note might get lost) by the end of June 27th.
  • You can submit multiple entries, but it is recommended you choose just one - your best :nod:
  • We will be judging on technical aspects like good cutting and blending as well as originality and creativity.
It should go without saying that you cannot use copyrighted material in any way (you need to use pics that are actually stock or if you want to use other people's photos etc. that are not in the resources gallery you need to ask permission!). Also you have to credit your stock sources properly - if you don't know what I mean by "properly", please read the following news article.

Judges

to be announced

Prizes

This list will probably grow a little over time, but don't expect it to get miles long as I am not very fond of having two million prizes lined up.

First Place:
  • 6 months subscription sponsored by `kuschelirmel
  • One exclusive, custom made journal css - designed and coded by `kuschelirmel to the specifications of the winner for his/her exclusive use*
  • A 4x6'' print from =emeraldsugar's store sponsored by her
  • 1 exclusive stock or texture pack from *kuschelirmel-stock's scraps
  • 1 exclusive stock pack from *ro-stock
  • 1 exclusive stock pack from =lindowyn-stock

Second Place:
Third Place:
And journal features at

* the winner can either give me some art of his he wants included or give me a theme to work with - I cannot promise that the css will be ready fast as university has to take precedence. It does speed things up though if you are thorough when answering the note with questions that I will send you.



Technology & Nature Contest Entries


Stock/Resources Usage Rules in a Nutshell
Here you go (full rules can be found here):
  • Always credit *kuschelirmel-stock when you use my stock/brushes/textures etc. (please don't credit my art account as it leads to confusion over what is stock and what is not)
  • Please show me what you've done by giving me a link via note or comment.
  • Please manipulate the stock! This is very important if you want to use my resources commercially: you can't just change colours and sell it as your own
  • You also cannot redistribute the pictures as stock (manipulated or otherwise) without my expressed permission
  • For use on and off dA, commercial or non-commercial - it doesn't matter as long as you abide by the rules above
  • For Journal CSS templates there are some special rules, you can read them here


Exclusive Stock & CSS ~ CSS Commissions
If you look into my scraps, you'll find them filling up with exclusive stock packs and textures and soon also Exclusive CSS journals. These are meant to be used as prizes in contests and challenges.

List of contests:
Please note that I am not doing requests for custom journals any more - only for friends or as contest prizes.
I am currently taking commissions for gallery and journal CSS designs - if you wish to commission me to do one for you, you can find more information here. Don't hesitate to contact me via note (here or at my main account) or e-mail (kuschelirmel<at>googlemail.com) so I can answer any questions you might have.


The CSS in this journal is my private CSS, it is not to be used by anyone but me and its images are not to be taken and altered either!

Can it be something like a mixed media between traditional&digital? I'm thinking of something similar to *E-invoked's work.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.
And a large group of professionals built the Titanic.

This sounds really interesting :D I think I might just join in XD
