Beautiful People of SteamGifts

I am excited to announce the 5th Drawing Contest of SteamGifts

After 3.5 years of break, here I am with another Drawing Contest.

We held 4 contests before ( 3 by me, 1 by Mefistofeliks )
1st Event Results
2nd Event Results
3rd Event Results
4rd Event Results

What kind of drawing is this?

Traditional or Digital doesn't matter.
Every tool is allowed (Pencil, Charcoal, Pastel, Brush etc.)


Are you a professional artist? just a hobbyist? someone who can't even draw stick man? no worries.

This event is for everyone.

What I want from you is to draw one of your favorite game characters or scenenary, something related to a game. Literally anything about games!

I don't wanna put a special theme, because that would discourage some people and we don't want this. But you can let your creativity suprise us.

If anything is not clear, just drop a comment!


RULES:

  1. All drawings will be sent to my e-mail adress. ( mbcoders@gmail.com )
  2. In order to prevent favoritisizm please DO NOT post your drawing here or anywhere else related to this forum and Steam.
  3. If you are participating with a traditional drawing, while sending your drawing, send me two pictures. One will be your entry and the other one with a little paper with your username written on it as a proof (Put that little paper on your drawing while taking picture).
    If you didn't understand what I meant with this rule, you can contact me.
    Here is demonstration of this rule #1
    Here is demonstration of this rule #2
  4. If you are participating with a digital drawing, I want you to send me 2 more pictures fromthe process of drawing ( like 1 after %25 completed, 1 after %50 so on. )
    These rules are meant to prevent cheating. It may not be %100 cheat proof but it is something.
  5. There is no level limitation for the event.
  6. As long as it obeys the rules, you can participate with an old drawing. ( You should prove that it is your drawing ). But it shouldn't be a drawing from previous contests, I will for sure double check those.
  7. You can only send 1 drawing. Don't send me couple drawings to ask me too choose one.
  8. Please don't use filters for the picture of the drawing. But you can play with brightness and contrast settings, thats all. Because taking picture of charcoal drawing is not always the best I know. Scanned entries are welcomed in this round.
  9. You can still change your entry before voting starts.

E-mail Title Format: 5th Drawing Contest - Username
Example: "5th Drawing Contest- MBcoder"

I will respond your e-mail whether your entry is valid or not.
Duration = 2 Weeks
Countdown
I will open another thread for the voting after the due date, and voting rules will be announced in that thread.


PRIZES:

  • After voting, First 6 people will be invited to a private giveaway for a nice unbundled game.
  • First 12 people will be invited to another ( Yes First 12 includes first 6 )
  • I didn't decide on games yet. I want to choose a game after voting so that non of the winners have the game.
  • All entrants will be invited to a couple of unbundled private giveaways.

Does not knowing the prize games before hand discourages you? Be sure that they will be good games. I just want to make sure our top winners doesn't have the game I am going to give.

EDIT
I have decided two of the games that every participant will be invited to: (More to come)

GOOD LUCK

I am no sure, I think always quality arts won the contest. But you can also try to draw popular waifu if you think it will make it easy to win

You are spot on, it is pretty clear nobody voted for the skill level shown, like, at all.
Just look at all the entries over the years, I've seen better defined stick figures...

Oh wait, no, haha, I mean the exact opposite.

When two drawings are around same level of attraction probbaly people will go with the ones they feel more connected to. Which is a normal and expected bias, otherwise it wouldn't be voting and I would just choosing the winners. There can't be really objectivity in taste. So there is not much sense complaining about this.
Best I can do is also including gifts for every participant, whichi I am already doing.
You can simply choose not to join ofcourse as you did.

I'm "lucky" that I lack the skills to compete for top rank, so any vote that comes my way is a win :)
In this case I use the old Olympics creed "“The important thing in life is not the triumph, but the fight; the essential thing is not to have won, but to have fought well.”
But I get what you mean, I do get competitive when I do think I should stand a chance, and its bye bye Olympic creed :)
As for taste, it's mostly a construct created to sell effluent to the affluent :P

And again I see it after 1 week only (I haven't drawn for years - except from calendar thingie, maybe it's time to get the pencil and paper and clean them from dust)...
I'll try to get a new drawing today or tomorrow !

Edit: Can we mix 2 games in a theme? (dunno, some k9ind of hybrids)

Same here.
All I need is a character, I've used Mario, Link, that guy from Battle Block Theatre and them dots...hmm.
Something obscure so I can say "It's not embarrassingly bad, it is supposed to look like that, you just don't know the character..."
