FAC New Year Contest (2012)

Description

CONTEST: New Year Kiss

Deadline: January 6, 2013 (CLOSED)

Theme: Is there anything better than kissing someone special on January 1, 2012 from 12:00 AM to 12:01 AM for the new year? 2013 is a clean slate for all of us, especially with academics, friends, family, and careers. A small kiss with someone you trust is a good jumping stone to fulfill your deeper resolutions! Draw yourself, your OC, or something that represents you kissing someone/something for the New Year!

Rules:
1. Only 1 submission per user
2. When January 6, 2012 12:00 AM passes, submissions are closed for the contest. We do not take late work, no matter how good you are. :)
3. No explicit sexuality/violence

Scoring Guidelines:

Skill: 40 points
Example: [CLICK HERE]
- You can use crafts, digital mediums, traditional mediums(etc.) to express this theme, but you need skill to make it look good! Whatever style you work with, whether anime or realism, make it synchronize with your idea, and your skill will inevitably show.

Creativity: 25 points
Example: [CLICK HERE]
- Not every New Year kiss works exactly like you planned. Heck, many New Year kisses are surprises from friends or a secret admirer. Would you not want an exciting and not-as-plain kiss? That feeling will hold true for next year too!

New Year Element: 20 points
Example: [CLICK HERE]
- If you draw a kiss between two people, sure, it is a nice kiss. However, a New Year kiss is mixed with a celebrative air with friends/family watching or fireworks and bright colors coming from the back. Show some form of New Year element in your kiss, and you will get these points.

Colors: 15 points
Example: [CLICK HERE]
- Fortunately, New Year is not subjected to specific colors. It can be mixed with the passing Christmas (red & green), red and white festive colors, or even the color of your wine. Whatever colors you choose, it still stands that New Year is a festive and COLORFUL time.

Prize:
1rst Place:
-Putting your winning picture on the site news/main-page (this will be an alternative to those who still do not completely qualify for featured pictures or are too new to be popular)
- Specialized 2012 New Year Contest Winner badge that you can put on your profile

hm..............................................................should I enter? it's just that I can't draw people kissing to save my life -_- but I might try!

luckylace222 on January 2, 2013, 8:45:01 PM

GURL, THAT IS THE SPIRIT! I did not have to motivate you there. ;__; It took me a bit to even understand the anatomy of kissing. I had to look up a whole bunch of references when I was learning, and it was a little awkward when people were watching me. I am looking forward to your possible entry! IT is always nice to have something from you each time! It feels good to see you improve right in front of my eyes.

luckylace222 on January 3, 2013, 4:10:34 PM

Sorry, but where is that gif from. Since it is Will Smith, it is probably from an epic alien-monster fighting movie, but it is like he is a holding an expensive flashing dildo.

ShadowPrincess on January 3, 2013, 4:55:38 PM

HAHAHA XD it's from Men In Black.

luckylace222 on January 3, 2013, 2:43:22 PM

Thanks so much for your added enthusiasm to this contest! Even if we do not get as many contestants this time, it makes me feel good that there was at least one artist that knowingly improve from this!
