Future AOTM Suggestion Thread

[Estella Vanilla]

Greetings to all the wonderful artists here at FinalFantasyForums! As you know we’ve discussed opening a new monthly contest here at FFF (See here: http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/artist-cafe/artist-of-the-month-28876.html) and we need your help!

This is our topic suggestion thread for Artist of the Month. We need you, our members, to help think of fresh, new ideas we can utilize in future contests! Any suggestions will do. We need to think of ideas for both themes and media. Who knows? We might just use your suggestion for a contest one day!

Thank you for all the input!

Vehicles

I think Id better elaborate...vehicles drawn in pencil.... aboutt he only things I can draw <_<

I wouldn't mind seeing something like still life done in watercolors. Or maybe animals or nature. I always love seeing images like that.

Well lessee....what about this:

Recreate some battle from a FF game (could be anything, Cloud vs Sephiroth or Locke vs Kefka) as a stick figure battle, and be drawn in crayons.

Or if you'd prefer something serious, find some outdoors location near you (could be your backyard, a lake, or w/e) and um...sketch it out with colors (colored pencils, markers, or crayons), just needs to be traditional media. I'm not exactly sure how to explain it, but I've got in mind sort of an impressionistic style.

Yeah, that's my suggestion...all I could come up with, I'm not that artsy xD

:3 I has an idea. What abooouuuut surrealism? It's creative and really interesting. At least I think so. I'm going to suggest that almost all the AOTMs be in traditional media, basically because I don't have a tablet (or a mouse for that matter...). I also think that traditional media is more accessible for most people.

Thanks for all the input you guys! I will take all your thoughts into consideration while creating future contests. We're going to try to start out a bit simple and then maybe get a bit more specific as time goes on.

I wanted to remind you that the first contest WILL start on May 1st! So keep watch for the thread I will be posting. =)

Thank you!

What about something abstract, like Hatred or Love or Life, it would be interesting to see what people come up with and how they interpret and portray a theme like that.

But, I know nothing of art really. So, I don't know if any of those I suggested would work or anything.

What about Drawing Anime Characters cosplaying other Anime characters? I think that would be lots of fun!
