*** This journal is for LISTED GUEST ARTISTS ONLY***

Edit: Please remember the deadline is less than a month away! There's still artists yet to choose a category to be in. Remember it's first come first serve.

-------------------

Artwork Specifications.


This theme will be divided into four subcatagories of colours; green, blue, red/pink and yellow/orange.
For this art book, we would like images depicting nature, our Earth.
Each artist will be catagorised under one colour, and must make the colour their main colour. However any shade of chosen colour is accepted.

Green could be images of forests, summer, spring, jungles, plains etc.
Blue could be winter, oceans, skies, night, water, etc.
Red/pink could be sunsets, flower fields, volcanic environments, fire
Yellow/orange could be autumn, deserts, beaches

This book will primarily feature Australian artists, as well as International talent for guest artists.

We plan to make the colours gradually change throughout the book, so six artists will have the chance to have two main colours; Green-Blue, Blue-yellow, and yellow-pink One set of three will be from the Australian group, the other three from the International group.

Submission Guidlines:

Once you've finished with your submission, please upload a preview that shows less than 40% of the overall image.

♦ All works must be original; no fanart is accepted, and each piece must be your work alone.

♦ Artworks must be in full colour with a background, but we will accept simple backgrounds. However exceptions can be made if your style is specialised in greyscale, but bg has to be at least in colour.

♦ Must have at least one human/creature/animal/character included in the artwork. Cannot be empty landscape/background

♦ Does not necessarily have to be a painting that depicts a scenery.

♦ Please don't include anything that may suggest fantasy or extraterrestrial backgrounds and landscapes. Fantasy creatures heavily based on real-life animals (excluding humans) are accepted (eg winged horse, alternate-coloured animals). No anthros, ogres, dragons, elves, magicians, chimeras accepted.

♦ Keep it PG- no gore, nudity, coarse language/gestures

♦ Because proceeds will go to RedKite, we thought it would be fun to include a little red kite in each picture; kind of like a spotting game. So every picture must have a red kite somewhere, could be as obscure as a tattoo/fabric pattern but must be distinct. We prefer if the kite is not part of the main focal point or concept in your illustration

♦ Cannot be a piece that has been created before the 13th December, and it must not be seen/uploaded.

♦ Any style is accepted; interpretation of the theme doesn't have to be literal and doesn't need to depict only 'nature'.

♦ A reminder that anything that exists on our Earth is allowed; this includes buildings, cityscapes, vehicles, marketplace etc.

We would like to see a draft if it's possible, but it won't be necessary. If you are unsure if your piece does not violate any of the rules, we recommend you to send us a draft.
Or if you have any questions hit us with a note or comment below!

Deadline: 31st August

Examples
We won't be strict about the colour of the characters, objects, but the overall picture must give off the impression of the colour you have chosen. Examples are available at the bottom of this page: ethereal-artbook.deviantart.co…
