Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-30307603-20180121144037



To believe it has been nearly an entire year since art contests were first revived! Well, it is time for another year of them!

The Purpose
In this thread, artists enter their art into the contest. All eligible art submitted to this thread will be forwarded to the voting thread, in which users will vote on which pieces they like the best. The three winning pieces will have their art displayed on the front page.

Contrary to what the image may suggest (again, somebody seriously needs to update that), you are not limited to strictly 2D drawings. The posibilites of what you can do with your art are endless provided you can contain it all in one still image. Possible styles include, but not limited to:


 * 2D Drawing
 * 3D Models
 * Clay figures
 * Photography
 * Comic panels
 * Posters

Last contest saw a total of thirteen submissions. It would be interesting to see if we could surpass that.

The Way (to Submit Your Work)
Submitting your artwork is simple! All you have to do to submit your work is a leave a comment with your artwork uploaded to this wiki.

If you need more information on how to attach art to your comment, please use the following resources:

The Rules
It's everybody's favorite part: rules!


 * I don't care how "delicious" your M-rated fanart of Nicole, Mr. Small, and Larry participating in a threesome may be, under no circumstances will NSFW-content be allowed. Failure to follow this rule results in an instant disqualification and a ban on your account.
 * No plagiarizing! You MUST be the creator of any work you submit. If anybody catches you plagiarizing, you will be disqualified and possibly banned from future events.
 * You are allotted one submission. If you submit more than once, only your most recent submission will be accepted.
 * As of now, the deadline for submissions is February 17th, 2018 at 11:00 A.M. eastern standard time (this website can help you determine what that time is for your timezone). Unless something goes wrong, this is a hard deadline. Under normal circumstances, the thread will be closed, and no more submissions will be accepted, so don't procrastinate.
 * Again, only still images will be accepted. Failure to so will result in a disqualification.
 * Any work submitted to the previous contest may NOT be resubmitted. Failure to follow this rule will result in a disqualification. Sorry guys, you have to submit something new.
 * This should be obvious, but just to drive the point home, any work submitted must Gumball-related.
 * Just be aware that you're riding a slippery slope with original characters that is ultimately under the judgement of me or some other staff member. Ninety-nine times out of 100, though, the answer is "no".
 * To reiterate: GUMBALL RELATED
 * Stay respectful. Self-explanatory.
 * EDIT: This was a problem in previous contests, so I am going to make it official here: no, submissions that are recolors/costume modifications of character PNG files are not enough to get accepted into this contest. If you want to modify these PNG files go ahead, but do more with it.

The Votes
More details on voting will be detailed in a future thread. Although, voting will function as normally for those who are seasoned veterans and have an understanding of how these contests work.

The Prize
Like always, the three art pieces with the highest number of votes will be displayed on the main page. More details will be in the voting thread.

The Conclusion
I have finished my piece. feel free to create a piece if you feel inclined! It's always fun to see how different artists' deception of The Amazing World of Gumball.
