MARCH CONTEST: Fairy-Tale Traveler
-
@Braden-Hallett Yeah, it was mainly to set up the story a bit, so that when you see the character you know what kind of world and situation they are in. (I know we have the basic story of goblins invading a village, but since fantasy isn't so much my thing and in an effort to differentiate I'm considering pushing the strict interpretation of the story.)
-
@drawnbyshawn I agree with @Braden-Hallett your character should be able to stand alone but I don’t think a small amount of text would hurt as long as not taking away from the illustration. Maybe one of the guys could elaborate on this? @Lee-White ? @Jake-Parker ? @Will-Terry ?
-
@drawnbyshawn, @miranda-hoover made it into the 16 for the yeti character design with small notes on the page. You can see her entry from December as an example of text notes working for the judges.
-
@Kevintreaccar I see what you mean, thanks!
Also, I've been out of the loop over the past few months on SVS contests, so I didn't even know that the December 2020 contest was for a character design as well. Looks like the guidelines for what they are looking for are basically the same too. I'll look through those submissions too and see what kinds of things others did. (I could also watch the critique arena for that one as well I suppose.)

@drawnbyshawn Yes. The link to the video is now in the December Yeti thread toward the bottom.

Here's my fairytale traveler (and big blue dog friend). Costume design inspired by another "fairytale" character. -
@Joe-Koz Really Nice!!

@Kevin-Longueil thanks Kevin!

@Chip-Valecek When is this due again? Is it the last day of the month each time?
-
@rmwonders yes
-
@jdubz So cute!
Great work! -
Hello Friends!
This is my entry!
I like to call her Saphra Oist. When she's not on a mission she likes to be crazy and enjoy life.I hope you like it. I feel happy with the results.

@Joe-Koz Don’t forget to add your name unless you’re not entering for a chance at the 16.

I had fun and that’s what matters. Bonus, I’m definitely plotting this and hoping I can write it as a middle grade fantasy adventure novel starring Ezio.
Hope everyone that entered/enters had fun, too. Good luck to all.
-
@rmwonders Yes all contests are due 11:59pm on the last day of the month.
-
@Joe-Koz Love the colors, the creepy human teeth on the dog, the sling shot weapon and the music festival outfit! Also, the layout feels narrative.
-
@alicepelot thanks so much. You got all the elements I was going for! Also you’re right on target with musical influences. (Though I might be the only one old enough to remember Yellow Submarine)

Hi everyone. Here is my Character design. First time doing something like this. I feel like the image is a bit unfocused. But its all a learning process right? Looking forward to seeing more designs coming in.
