Welcome to the First Ever Pixelated-masters Group Contest! (CLOSED)

 

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE PART OF THE GROUP TO PARTICIPATE! IT IS FREE TO ALL!!!

 

So this is the first ever contest of the group and we are all so excited to see what people come up with, and how creative you can be with it. After multiple polls the official Contest theme is going to be COLOR PALETTE!!!

 

So here are the rules:

     1.     No Pornography, or excessive Blood and Violence

    2.     It must be your work; you cannot steal it from someone else.

    3.     If you use images that don’t belong to you must cite your resources and give credit. (For example you draw an image based off someone else’s image you will put where you found the image, and give credit to that person)

    4.     You cannot leave unpleasant (which includes cursing) comments on other people’s artwork. If we find you are putting down other contestants, you will be disqualified immediately.

 

What you are able to do:     

    2.     You may submit work for the contest, and also contribute to the prizes. (If you are going to be a voter, a select few, you cannot vote for your own work. Equal opportunity)

    3.     You can submit almost any type of work. We accept Pixels, traditional, digital (painting/drawings) sequential art. We do not accept Photography, or photographic collage. Basically if you can make it by hand, through drawing (on a computer screen or paper) or sculpture, or anything else, it is perfectly acceptable. (Please contact me if you have any questions) 

Categories

    1.     Primary color – Colors that cannot be made by being mixed (Red, Blue, Yellow) Secondary Color – Colors that are created when mixing              primary colors (Green, Orange, Purple) In this category, you can create work that uses only primary colors, or only secondary colors. You cannot mix the primary and secondary. You can change value and intensity.

    2.     Monochromatic – One color only (Just blue, or Just Red, any color but you can only use that one color with black white or grey.)In this category                 you can pick a color, and use white, greys, or black to adjust the value, tone, and shade of the color. We will also accept black and white work for this.

    3.     Complementary Colors  OR Two colors – If your work is made up of complementary colors it contains colors on opposite side of the color wheel (example: blue and orange, purple and yellow, red and green…) But this category will also allow pieces that use only two colors to create, whether they are complementary or not. Both Complementary, and work using two colors will work for this category.

    4.     Analogous Color Scheme: Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. (Example: red orange yellow, green blue purple, yellow green blue)

    5.     Just color – this will include Dark Colors/light colors, Warm colors/cool colors, and basically anything where you intellectually and creatively used colors to create the piece. This section has been created so everyone can enter. It has no real guidelines, it just has to show careful consideration of color. Winners will be choicen on creativity
