The previous editions were full of cool pictures. I recommend checking out the voting threads. :)

So there's no theme to work with or anything? I could just send in some recent works?
Comment has been collapsed.
Other than "characters" (preferably game characters), there isn't any. I considered setting a theme but I didn't want to discourage people.
Yes, you can send in a recent work if it doesn't break any rules (especially the "not published before" one).
Just please refrain from killing anyone this time. :D

Well, I have something I've been working on for a few weeks now and I'd like to see some reactions to it. It's not finished, but in a state where it's showable. Obviously any more info could give away what my entry could be later. I will weite you a mail later.

Uhh, probably not going to enter this time, but yay for the event! \o/

I hope you'll change your mind, your previous drawing was great. :)

Nah, I probably won't have the time to do even anything as half-assed as the one I did last time. :) Okay, it took less than 2 hours, but the choosing of a character thing... shudders Though, if I read correctly, this time it doesn't have to be a recognized/widely known character, you can just make one up..?
no, I am not contemplating drawings of scantily clad pseudo-fantasy female figures. NOPE. brain, stop it! no time, remember ?!
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, no, it still has to be a character from a game that exists. I thought I made it clear but apparently not. :D
And I know choosing the character is the worst part, took me the longest too. :)

Ah, sorry, didn't read the op that carefully, just checked the first bullet point when I posted my last comment. ^^ Clearly selective reading since I missed point number TWO... :s
Well, that's definitely me out then, I don't really play that many character driven games and can't even name one character right this second. XD
Comment has been collapsed.
No, it was me, I edited the rules for clarity. :D
And the mutant blob from space does count as a character. :3

I am tempted to enter a third time but I've not drawn in a long time :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, I like it and I think maybe I'll be participate but I have one little problem... I dont know which character should I choose... difficult choice :\
Comment has been collapsed.
I had the same problem last two times. So many great characters to choose from...
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I hope that the choice of the character will not take a long time :)
And the question. What about the image size? I mean can I choose any (of course not so small like 100x100) size like 1000x1000, 2500x2500 or there is some kind of minimum?
Comment has been collapsed.
It has to be big enough to look good on screen. We use Imgur galleries for entries, you can check the first one or the second one for the estimates.

Eeeh I have a question...
"The characters don't have to be humanoid."
Does this means that I have to draw furry only... or I am wrong?
And does it count characters from online games?
Comment has been collapsed.
No, humans are allowed, of course! I just wanted to say you're not restricted to just humans.
And yes, characters from online games are welcome too. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Woooo, great, i'll partecipate then, thank you for your reply. :3

Ah another question, whats about Original character?
For example... basically I made a OC based on a weapon of a character, can I use it or no?
Comment has been collapsed.
Cool! I hope to make it better this time!
I don't understand the non-humanoid rule btw
Comment has been collapsed.
It means that you can draw a human, but you can also draw a dragon, a pokemon or a sentient rectangle. Basically, everything is allowed as long as it's a character. :)

Going to try and beat my previous votes.
Only need 2 for that :P
Comment has been collapsed.
yaaay, I will finally have motivation to draw something :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Ohh, you like to draw too!! :D I wish you all luck of the world ^-^
I like too, but can't even remeber when I drew something ;/
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks :D I hope I will manage to find time to draw it, probably will do last minute entry as last time, haha :D
Well, if that's the case, then you have occasion to draw now! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Hopefully I can remember to submit something on time this time.

I will bump the thread all the time, maybe it'll be a good reminder. :)

Sure!
By the way, I'm happy to see another Terra fan. I made a Terra pic for the first contest here. :D

Bump, you just gave me something to work on after finishing my exams.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yo, you can't tell me to finish a drawing in less than 2 weeks. I'm on vacation, not at school, there's no way I could possibly procrastinate enough to draw when there isn't schoolwork to procrastinate.
I'll submit some shit in a week or something, looking forward to all your guy's entries again!
EDIT: in two days, forgot I'm leaving for a bit

Hello SteamGifts, it's this time again! Time for...
The Drawing Contest!
What's the deal with this event? It's simple, you make a digital or traditional art piece depicting a game character and send it to your friendly neighborhood cat astronaut (that's me – MBcoder wanted to participate this time, so I'm filling in for him). Then the community votes for the picture they like best. And, of course, there are prizes to win!
This event is for everyone. No matter if you're a pro, a hobbyist or a beginner, don't get discouraged and participate!
Rules:
So, what to do?
Just make a picture, and then send it to sgartsociety@gmail.com. Remember to include your SG username and the name of your character(s) somewhere in the e-mail.
If you're participating with a traditional piece, send an additional photo of your art and a little piece of paper with your username on it.
If you're participating with a digital piece, send me at least two work-in-progress shots (25% and 50%, 30% and 60% etc.).
These rules are meant to prevent cheating.
Please don't use any filters or other enhancements on your traditional pictures. Things like Brightness & Contrast or Level correction are allowed (we all know how badly scanners and cameras treat drawings :D).
You have over 10 days to prepare and send a perfect entry.
The deadline is May 27th, 16:00 GMT.
The countdown clock is HERE.
Alternative countdown if the first one's down.
After the deadline, I will make a voting thread with all the entries.
Prizes:
All entrants will be invited to the SteamGifts Art Society, which hosts group giveaways from time to time.
The top 6 will be available to enter a private giveaway for a nice, unbundled game.
The top 10 (yes, including the top 6) will be available to enter another, also nice and unbundled.
If we get 33 entries or more, then it will be top 8 and top 12 respectively.
