INTRODUCTION


Welcome to the Battle Of The Fine Arts thread! This thread was designed for people to show off their artistic talents to the guild for GOLD and PRIZES! I ran into some money and I am dying to share it with everyone! I will edit the thread posts later cause my scanner is broken at this time, so I can't make and photoshop the drawings for display on the thread posts! So that will be fixed soon! Anyways, read the rules, requirements, prizes, and etc.


I am tallying up the score now and I will send trades to the winners! I am swamped with work and I don't have time for these shenanigans!I locked the thread for no further entrees or replies! I am done with this and I am never doing this sort of thing AGAIN! Bloody hell it's just pixels! I just want to be left alone in peace right now! I am sorry for acting this way, but I wash my hands of this!

Guidelines/Instructions


Ok people, These are the guidelines and instructions on how to compete in this comptetition!


Acceptable art styles:


-Drawings (Black and white or color is fine)

-Comic Strips/ 4komas (A 4koma is a 4 panel comic strip that gets straight to the joke or point)

-Short stories (Please keep your story a minimum of 5 pages. If you plan to post it in the forum, separate your paragraphs and put the story in size 9 font or less in your post! If you wish to make it longer, send me the document file through e-mail! PM me for my e-mail!)

-Poems (Keep your poems a minimum of 15 to 20 lines)

-Photography

-If you want to write lyrics, that's under poetry.

-Acceptable graffiti art. (I want to see good graffiti, not half-assed ones!)

-If you have another art style that I forgot to mention or you know, please PM me and we will discuss it! <3


This is for people who write stories: I will question you on your plot to the story, how you came up with it, and what inspired you to write the story. This is just to see if you actually wrote it and didn't steal it.

To the people who write poems: I will ask you what emotion you felt while writing this, what inspired you to write it, and what did you base it on. Once again, this is just to see if you actually wrote it and did not steal it.


Do not post pictures of stick figures! You post stick figures as a joke, I will warn you and delete your post! Although I will accept nice stick figures. I know there's an "art" to them, but if I render it crappy and not done with any thought or care, IT'S GONE! <3

Oh and I forgot to add in one thing, you can go over and combine your possible points by participating in other categories! It heightens your chance to be in first place or stay in first place! But the Signature and effort will not be added to your score again since it makes up 50% of your original score!

So officially you need to make it up to 580pts! You make this by entering all 4 types of categories or writing new stories, poems! Or Drawing new photos, comics, etc. But don't submit so much! Give other people here a chance to make points too! <3


Who ever get's either full awarded points or are at least 10 points off by the time the contest ends, get's 1st place!

I will PM you with the score for your entree!

P.S. I'm a tough grader! Don't expect this to be easy! So every little thing counts everyone! <3

This contest sounds cool^^
So, if I understand it correctly. We should just make you laugh, right?
Or do I misunderstand?

This looks like a pretty good contest! Although I'm not a good artist, I could try the short story.
But I have a few questions. Do you rate all of them in one group or do you use sections? What happens when you're the only one that's submitted in that section?
