Artists Alike and from Afar - October Drawings Contest (Theme - Kisses/Kissing)
Hello and I'd like to say hi from myself (Aoie_Emesai), and everyone else from the Artist Alike Social Group. But we would like to post our drawing here from our Current October Drawing Contest for those of Animesuki to see and to vote upon. For this August drawing theme, it is " Kissing/Kisses" chosen by our last months Winner, *Zharax*. ps: I did not post some of the rules to the contest, due to them only affecting the contestants and not the voters. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________ About The Artist Alike and Afar Social Group - I create this group back around when Vbulletin start with their recent upgrade to version 3.7.1 and myself who love/like to draw wanted to share my like/love of it with with others of Animesuki. It was a slow start, but 74 members strong at the moment. But what ever the reason was, our true purpose is to simply draw and critique on others drawings. "Share our world with each other" ^^ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________ About the contest: This contest is open to all members of the Artists Alike and from Afar social group. The goal of this contest is for people to learn from each other’s drawings as well as have fun in the process through the process of a contest. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________ About the Theme: Each month prospective contestants are given a theme to base their entries on. This theme is decided by the winner of the previous contest. There are several types of themes, mainly being I) Content theme a. What you want the contestant to draw (nothing against the forum rules please) b. For example, beach, winter, or gothic. (don’t take these as guidelines, you can choose something special) c. Please try to limit your themes so they aren’t so wide, but don’t limit it to much – do leave it open to a certain extent of interpretation. d. Limiting by character. For example, we can choose a character like ichigo from bleach and have everybody draw that character. II) Material theme a. Different materials may present different challenges and it will add an interesting touch to the contest b. However try to limit the materials to things that are relatively easy to find (eg. Charcoal, markers). c. Materials like tablets should not be a material, because it is not easily accessible to anyone. III) Colour or non colour? a. Since we do not have alot of members anyway, we probably shouldn't have a coloring section and non coloring section. At the same time however, these should not be judged together, since in most cases, coloring would be given more credit, so please make it clear in the theme of the contest whether coloring is allowed. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________ About the voting rubric: - When you vote, you are encouraged to give feedback and suggestions to the individual artists, as well as to give them a score. Giving scores and feedback are not required, but it would be a nice gesture and would help them improve. Also when voting, I would like for you to also do as above, but it's not necessary. This is just so i can match the amount of actual votes amongst the poll. When voting, you are required to choose One entries that you think are the most outstanding. *The voting has been changed a bit and it will be conducted as a poll style voting, and i'll (meaning Aoie_Emesai with some help maybe) be doing a manual check on them for any dupes or ineligible votes. *Any accounts created within the last week will not be eligible for voting, this is to reduce and prevent any kind of multiple voting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With all the rules stated and mentioned, here are our Entries (alphabetized by user names) C.A. Spoiler for Ka:
HayashiTakara Spoiler for hayashi:
yuuk1 Spoiler for Yuki:
Have fun voting, and I'll check the progress from time to time ^^

Gonna have to give my vote to C.A. on this one.
Out of the three, he is the one I am most familiar with. It's pretty amazing how much progress he has made since I first saw his works back on the Haruhi image thread a couple of years ago. Of course, as a big fan of yuri, C.A.'s piece has an extra charm in my book! HayashiTakara's piece is also very nice. Though, the nudity in it strikes me as a bit out of place. yuuk1's work is nice and simple, although I still prefer the other two a bit more.

Voted for Hayashi, its technically the best one, and is the only one that actually had a kiss.
C.A; the curves and shading are nice, but anatomically its off. And the scale ratio of between the two characters are a little off too. Yuuk1; looks good, but Ichigo is a little off anatomically on his body, and the color used for the blush isn't quite right. |

my vote goes to C.A. picture was very cute and appealing plus the shading and lines are just magnificent. very nice shading working with a pencil. hayashi and yuuk's drawings were nice too but C.A.'s caught my attention more.

I voted for CA. I felt it was the best artistically and it best captured the theme in my opinion.
It's also really cute and sweet. So it deserves to win. HT yours was good but it went from "Kisses/Kissing" to "Foreplay before we have hot but naked sex" Artistically it was good. However I think making sure the theme is not lost is as important as skills. Tsukune would rather have Ashiya anyway Yuki's entry was sweet. But I am a IchiRuki fan, if I would have picked yours it would have been for that reason. Since I want to be fair. I couldn't even if IchiRuki is WIN. (I did save it if you don't mind) |

Stupid poll... closed before I got a chance to vote >.<
I think of the 3, Hayashi's was the most colorful and deeming of the theme the most. Congratulations, Hayashi ^^ ps: Of course that means, you get the honor of choosing the next theme. *Throw multi-colored confetti into the air for Hayashi* Congratulations to you, Hayashi. ^^
