icon_styleWelcome to our third challenge, "Art for Art's Sake". In honour of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
naarmamo, the theme for this month is "art". The icons made must look like sketches, paintings, drawings, cartoons, art of some particular style -- these can be actual sketches etc, or images which have been processed to look as if they're particular kinds of art. This includes any writing: all text must look as if it is part of the "painting". For example, something that looks like a pencil sketch, if it has writing, it should look as if it's handwritten in pencil; that kind of thing.
This challenge is now closed!
Techniques:
- brushes
- detect edges
- layer masks
- art plugins
Tutorials (for GIMP):
- http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Sketch_Effect/
- http://www.katspace.org/graphics/digitart/sketch
- http://www.katspace.org/graphics/digitart/col_sketch
- Cartoon Drawing
- Colorizing sketches
Rules:
1. One or more icons can be submitted. For this special challenge, there will be no limit to the number of icons submitted.
2. You have two weeks to submit the icons; that is, they are due on Tuesday 14th of August (that's my time, Australian time, so for some of you that will be the 13th).
3. Icons will be submitted in comments to this post. All comments will be screened, to preserve anonymity.
4. As soon as I can after the 14th, I will make a voting poll here. People will then have about a week to vote.
There will be two sections in the voting: (a) "Best embodiment of style"; this you vote for whichever icon you think demonstrates the style/technique of the given challenge (b) "I just like it"; where you vote for whichever icon you simply like the best.
5. You are required NOT to post your icons anywhere public until after the voting is over, so as to preserve the anonymity of the entries.
6. When the voting is over, I'll announce the winners here. Discussion of the challenge will be encouraged, especially discussion and demonstration of techniques used.
In short:
Due 14th August, post entries here, don't show them elsewhere.
