FFF Caricature Competiton 2011

Let's give this a go, shall we? We may even come out with some hilarious entries for our hall of fame. Probably. This competition is of course art-based, so I'm calling out for you lovely artists out there with her pencils and paper (of course, non-artists are just as welcome to participate as well if you wish to - the more the merrier!). The only thing is, this isn't any ordinary art competition, it's a caricature competition!

In case any of you are perplexed as to what caricature is, here's the in-depth explanation.

To summarise, you're simply taking a fellow member's picture (you may want to check to see if that person approves of course) and make a wacky cartoon face out of it, preferably exaggerated as much as possible. If Member X has hilariously big ears, feel free to turn he or she into Dumbo if you wish. It's all in the nature of caricature.

As a general rule, try not to leave anything in your image that will give away your identity.

Entries go to me no later than June 6th. Good luck and have fun caricaturing.

So to repeat:

  • Due date: 6th June
  • Entries go to me no later than the date above (unless an extension date is agreed)
  • Try not to leave clues that may give away your identity
1st place - 500 points
2nd place - 300 points
3rd place - 100 points​
 
Query: Are we allowed to do MS Paint Caricatures? Cause I know a few of us in Argor's regular competition would like to give it a go, if we're artistically inept with a pencil.
 
Sure, I'll allow that. I'd love to see what you can manage with MS Paint and as long as it's still caricature, I'm fine with that. =]
 
Just as a reminder for those of you who are participating but haven't submitted anything in yet, the deadline for this competition is tomorrow. So far I've only had one entry come in. I appreciate the fact that Birthweek does clash with a busy exam period, so if anyone needs more time, I can allow an extended deadline.
 
/double post

As requested, the deadline has been slightly extended to 11:59pm PST. If anyone wants it extended further, as I've said above, let me know. :wacky:
