And the winners are...
For this challenge you'll be creating a princess of your own design for an imaginary Disney movie in the form of a design sheet.
Read on for more rules, extra challenge points and details!
Your design sheet must be on a plain
white background. No colors, no borders, nada.
That may seem a little minimalist to some of you, but since this is a character design challenge all we want to see is your character. You may include the character's name or the name of your fake movie if you so wish.
Conversely, you're encouraged to color your
character. But, it's not a requirement.
Your entry must be a design sheet with these minimum requirements:
One full body picture of any angle or pose (preferably colored)
Three bust/portraits in three different views with three different expressions. The views to be included must be: face-on, profile, and 3/4s. See the illustration below for a visual representation:
After you've met those requirements you can add any number of portraits/poses, etc. you want. But remember: no pictures with backgrounds. Character only!
You don't have to draw in the Disney style. Please use your own if you wish to.
Your entry into the contest must be new! Where's the fun in entering something you already made a million years ago? You can only enter pictures your created after this contest was put up (04-15-16).
The character you enter into this contest must be new as well. Don't use an old one and make a new character sheet. If the judges look through your gallery and find you've cheated by using an old design, your entry will be removed and you'll be banned from the contest.
No fan characters allowed. Something like a design for Aladdin and Jasmine's future child will not be allowed. Your character must be for a completely new story (exception being the next rule).
The only way we'll allow you to use a story that's NOT new is if it's a fairy tale you can expand on for a feature-length film with a unique character design.
Though characters from fairytales are allowed, we're not allowing books or novels. (The reason being characters from books or novels are most likely already partly described/designed in the literature through description.)
Your design cannot be based on historical figures, either.
Your character must be a
female human. No animals, no aliens, no fairies, no cyborgs/robots, etc.
Once again: I know that must seem a little simple to some of you, but a lot of people rely on characters being non-human in order to be original design-wise. This way we'll all be on the same page as far as judging goes.
----- I know a few of you will be thinking "but I'm not good at humans!". Well, as is my usual reply: now's your chance to practice! Challenge yourself! If this is a super-intimidating contest to you, please enter and write about your challenge in your picture's description once you've submitted it. The judges always read the descriptions and take into account the artists' creativity and struggles.
Humans with supernatural powers are fine. Just as long as they
look like normal human beings you're good.
Only ONE character per design sheet. (This means you can't include pets either)
your character doesn't have to actually be a princess/royalty. Any heroine will do.
No villainesses this time. We'll save that for another contest.
Keep in mind this is a Disney contest: you should try to keep your character in line with Disney's aesthetic. If you make a character who's a murderer demon princess assassin... well, just don't. That doesn't mean you shouldn't think out of the box, just think within Disney's presentation and tone.
Please write about your character and the movie you imagine for her in your description, and what makes her unique from other Disney girls. This isn't a requirement, but it's always good to have a story to go with a face. (Plus, the judges always read them!)
Regular group rules still apply.
Be sure to read those if you're not up on them.
Any medium is allowed except for literature. (Sorry guys, I can't think of a way to include written entries on this one)
You're allowed TWO entries. Keep it clean. No nudity, gore, or nipples poking through clothes. NO FETISHES! G-rated, please!
Plagiarism is not allowed. (Pretty obvious rule) No tracing, no direct copying off of a screenshot or character sheet of any kind. In the past, copying gave the entrants an unfair advantage, so we're not even allowing "eye-balling" anymore. Referencing, however, is fine.
If you're confused about tracing VS referencing, please read this little tutorial:
Extra Points!There is only one way to get extra points for this challenge: include a turn-around of your character.
A turn-around of your character will include four angles (front, profile, 3/4 and back) all in full body and in the same basic pose (if your pose is a little bit off between the four, that's okay. We're not aiming for perfection). For this you will gain 10 extra points toward your popular vote score as well as a nod from the judges.
This means if you decide to do the the bare minimum as well as the turn around you will have five full-body drawings on your design sheet.
See the illustration below for a visual represenation:
You must also mention that your entry was made for this contest in order to enter it. If you don't, I'll assume you accidentally submitted your picture to the contest folder by mistake and remove it.
When you're done with your entry, please submit it to our
Contest 48 - Princess Design Sheet Challenge folder in our group's gallery!
Please only submit your entry
once because the folder is limited to only 2 per person (if you submit the same one twice and then try to submit a second one later you'll be in for a rude awakening). You entry should be accepted into the group within at least a day and a half. If your entry still hasn't been accepted in a day and a half, please comment here with a link to your entry and we'll put it up for ya.
In other words: Don't panic if your entry isn't accepted within two seconds of submission. The admins aren't online 24/7.
If you have any other questions, please either leave a comment here or note
DrZime Effort. The judges can really tell how much effort was put into an image.
Be unexpected! Think out of the box and have fun.
