Hi c/digitalart, I would like to propose an art competition for the community.
I got the idea when thinking about what I should do with my graphic tablet I bought a little over two years ago, but never use. I bought it thinking I would finally get into grease pencil in Blender and start drawing again. Turns out I just kept defaulting to mouse and keyboard cause that's what I had been doing the last ten years in Blender. Anyway, I have used it maybe 4 times and I think it could do more use in somebody else's creative hands. I first though of selling it, but then I got the idea that I could donate it as a price in an art competition instead. So yeah, now I'm here writing this post. If this community think it would be a fun activity, then there would be a graphic tablet in the pot.
If we want to do this, I need a few things from you as a community; your opinions on the format/rules, volunteers for a jury, and participation.
Art competition format proposal
Format
Once the competition is started participants will have one month to finish their piece. Then there will be a 24h submission window were everyone participating will post their respective artwork with the name of their piece and "SUBMISSION" in the title.
There will be one week between announcement date and competition start date, to give everyone time know of its existence.
The prize will be a XP-Pen Artist 15.6 graphic tablet with a 15.6" screen. (Used only a few times, but is in pristine condition and with original packaging and default accessories eg. glove, pen, cables and adapter.)
Competition Rules
-
The artwork needs to be at least 512x512 pixels.
-
It has to be made with FOSS applications, eg. GIMP, InkScape, Krita, Blender etc.
-
It can not be completely abstract (must include identifiable subject matter, eg. not just random shapes or gradients)
-
No AI-generated content. (This includes enhancements or assistance in creation or post-processing. )
-
Can't be pornografic (Artistical nudity is allowed, just remember tag)
-
Has to follow community rules of /c/digitalart
-
Artworks must be grounded in a clear artistic intention. The artist should have a specific, articulatable feeling or concept they aim to convey through the piece.
While intentionality is a prerequisite for art, all creative endeavours are a journey and it can take unexpected turns. The artwork should, however, reflect purposeful artistic choices
Note: the observer is not required to experience or recognise the artist's intended feeling.(This rule is intended to encourage deliberate creative thinking, and is aspirational rather than evaluative)
-
If you have the same, or equivalent drawing tablet and win perhaps consider donating it to someone who can't afford one. (un-enforcable rule)
Voting:
Once the 24h submission window is closed, there will be 48h for users to vote on the submissions.
Judging:
Top 5 contributions by number of up-votes will be judged by a group of jurors consisting of a group of 5-9 community members(that are not themselves participating in the competition).
The jury panel should write a short judgment, motivating their decision on the winning piece.
Judging criteria:
-
Artistic expression
-
Composition
-
Skill/craft within the medium/tool
-
Originality
-
Audience impact (comment responses, discussions)
In case of a draw:
Community moderators will act as vote-tally referee in case of a draw.

took a crack at a style I haven't tried for a while, forgot how much work it is to go from sketch to final

Felt pretty inspired the other day, so I redrew Integrelle from scratch, trying out some new styles and techniques. Kinda cool that I can see my improvements over the years!
If you look at my timelapse, you'll see me struggling to get her face right for a while lol

In this hot weather, Integrelle is chilling in her house with air conditioning. Very relaxed, she looks.

The Chinese of this solar term (小滿) means "little full". It refers to rice crops starting to bear rice.
