Kura's Color Contest

Welcome!

Well, I've finally done it..I've made another contest! This is only my second, so bear with me on this (wonderfully original title, right?). Anyway, the whole idea of this contest is to create something according to a specific color that I will chose. Could be anything. Yellow, violet, aquamarine, lilac, crimson, black, etc. Anyway, it'll be some sort of color. Now, for your part of the bargain. You have to draw or take a picture of something that is all or mostly that color. But remember, that color must be the focus of your art, whatever it may be. Oh, and make sure to read through all the rules and stuff carefully. Wouldn't want something lovely to be disqualified for a stupid reason, now would we?

So have fun! Get creative! And for goodness sakes, follow these rules!:

1.) Do NOT steal artwork and then claim it as your own, putting it on this contest. You will be kicked out :P
2.) Follow the Uploading Art Rules. It's just as simple as that.
3.) Follow the THEME of the contest. Anything that doesn't pertain to the contest will be disqualified.
4.) I will post the color of the month (or whatever time it takes to get enough entries) below this in big bold letters. If you can't see it, then I suggest an optometrist. :P
5.) There's a limit of three entries per person on any particular color.
6.) Please don't put "Vote for me!" in your mood. That irritates me a great deal, and you really do not want to irritate me. Read the next rule to find out why.
7.) Change in plans, here. There will be two winners now: A People's Choice Winner and an Owner's Choice Winner. The People's Choice Winner is the entry that won the poll. An Owner's Choice Winner is the entry that I like best. Each person will receive a badge, which I have shown below the rules.
8.) Post your username and any other comment you'd like to make above your picture.
9.) Have fun! I don't want to make this too serious, because that would completely defeat my purpose ^_^;
10.) Click on the images to make them bigger and see them in all their amazingness!
11.) It is all right to have photographs, but make sure that they are not just colored over with the color of the contest. Any photo that's been colored in Photoshop or another art program so that it's the right color will be deleted.
12.) Questions? Ask me! I'm [Kuramasgirl] <3

2008-08-15 [AuroraLumos]: lol

2008-08-15 [Kuramasgirl]: Arthemis, don't worry. xD I won't mix up your name, I promise.

2008-08-15 [Zab]: But using stockphotos still makes you do something with them, that the photographer or other people might not be able too with the same stock. (taking credit for the photos would be bad tho)

Anyway, back to the topic...stealing art and claim it's your own is hardly a mistake...you KNOW it's not yours when you participate..it's not like using an old drawing/photo and colour it in PS to make it fit the theme, that might be bacause you didn't read the rules and that could give a warning. but everyone know what they do when they steal, so why give a warning? I'd ban immediatly.

2008-08-15 [Kuramasgirl]: I just did, so no more worries there, hopefully. I just needed to think a bit on it. Not used to dealing with such things, y'know. xD This contest has been doing so well for so long, it came as a bit of a shock.

2008-08-17 [arthemis_]: I think it's bound to happen on every contest. So no worries [Kurumasgirl].

2008-08-18 [Cia_mar]: cute badges!!!

2008-08-18 [Kuramasgirl]: Thank you! :D

2008-08-18 [moira hawthorne]: birdie!

2008-08-18 [Iske]: that's a cute one [MisLuck]

2008-08-18 [moira hawthorne]: very cute pony tho i would soften and tone down the purple in the background as its intense colour attracts the eye...

2008-08-18 [MisLuck]: Thank you [Iske] <3
Background looks suprisingly dark now with laptop, but have to trust my better screen more, it was much fainter with it. Perhaps I'll find a better colour for it after I get better, too sick to think now. =)

2008-08-18 [AuroraLumos]: I have nothing teal :( how sad... I can't think of anything teal and interesting to do >.<
I shall try to find something! (btw [Rainbow Dragonflies] I love yours it rocks ^_^, all of them are really good ^_^)

2008-08-19 [MisLuck]: The brownish and this colour has been very difficult. (Also 'cause I had no idea what the colour is from the name xD We have different name for it) But it's challenging. I have been trying to think about a photograph teal, and it's hard.

2008-08-19 [Anvikit]: http://tineye.com/login .. just happened to find this site recently.. and given the attempted art theft not too long ago, I just thought I'd post it here.. [Artemis Management] 's pictures seemed very suspicious to me right from the start, but you can't accuse someone without proof, and often with images that are vague in nature, it's hard to search for them on the web... I got lucky and found the real artist in one of my mags, but this tineye thing actually searches images pixels to match them! It doesn't have too large a database yet but it's genius! Okay gonna go play around now Have fun.. Oh and um.. I'm making something for this contest, wish me luck getting him done in time ;) if not I'll just post later :D

2008-08-20 [Kuramasgirl]: What a good link! I was wondering if there were any sites like that out there...Thank you, Anvikit. :)

Great entries so far, guys. :3

2008-08-20 [Future Dictator]: damn i dont think i will have time for this color :(

2008-08-20 [Kuramasgirl]: The deadline can easily be extended if too many people are having trouble getting pictures in by the 7th.

2008-08-20 [Future Dictator]: nah its cause i start school this week so i'll have 4 art studios to do hw for and no time for personal art

2008-08-20 [Cia_mar]: i want in... working on a piece as i type!

2008-08-20 [Cia_mar]: yea! all done

2008-08-20 [Jitter]: Kura, I will enter this please wait for me :3
