Hello, and welcome to the first Artist Games!

Voting/signup period: April 1-5

First week: April 6-13

**Each period will end/begin at 12AM -7 MST.


Now, the guidelines for how the event will work are relatively simple.


  1. Willing artists will sign up for the event. There will be a form provided below that you must fill out in order to join.

  2. There will be a theme each week that you must follow with your drawing. There will be a poll (linked below) where you can vote for the theme you’d like to draw most for.

  3. The theme selected will start a string of related themes throughout the event. Each week, the theme will be more difficult than the last.

  4. Once your entry is finished, please submit it to one of the judges privately either through Void Forums or DeviantArt for convenience and organization.

  5. Judges will then vote for which artists will continue into the next week based on their drawing. Drawings will be voted on by a variety of things, but they will be for a different amount of points depending on the category. (Voting table linked below.)

  6. This will continue for several weeks until we are left with 3 winning artists, which will all get the same/similar prizes.

  7. Once the winners are decided, it’s time to start the event again!

Additional Rules


**Warning, it’s worth noting that there will be a lot of rules, but it is all very important information that you should know before entering the event!

  1. Please privately submit your art to the judges! This is to prevent idea stealing, and to prevent salt over all platforms. You may post your art in the thread if you want, but it won’t count as an official submission until you privately send it to a judge.
    -Likes or bribes won’t influence the judge’s choices at all.

  2. While we want you to do well with your art, please don’t put a LOT of effort and detail in it if you’ll be upset about losing since there is a high risk of elimination.
    -Judges will go easy on these areas because of this, so don’t worry about it lowering your score unless you’re just flat out lazy.

  3. There will be a gallery featuring every art piece entered to the contest, organized by week and event number.
    -If you’re disqualified or you have won the previous event and cannot win the current one, you may still submit artwork for that themes and have it entered into the gallery. However, there will be a note saying that it wasn’t an official entry to the contest.

  4. If you were in the top 3 in the previous event, you may not win the next one, but you can win the one after that.

  5. This one is a given, but enter your own artwork. No stealing, tracing, lots of heavy referencing, nothing. The main idea of this event is to prove your creativity and ability in art, and doing those things listed just defeats the purpose of that. On top of that, don’t think the judges won’t find out if you traced, stole, etc., because there is a very good chance that we will.

  6. Follow both Void and DeviantArt’s TOS and rules, as this event is hosted on both websites.

  7. No NSFW entries or entries with obviously triggering content. There will be a bunch of underaged people entering this contest, and we want this to be a family-friendly event.

  8. Judging will be done as fairly as possible. Judges will never be close friends to make the event fair and as free of bias as possible. They will also judge in separate areas, and share marks with each other to check if it is a fair mark. Your full mark will be given to you regardless if you have passed into the next week or not.

  9. Please be friendly to other artists! If you don’t like another artist who joined, or if you don’t like someone’s entry, for everyone else’s sake, keep it to yourself. This is supposed to be a fun event, and we don’t need drama to upset and/or annoy everyone else. If you go on with your salt anyways, you will get one warning, but after that, you can be disqualified from the event as a whole.

  10. Entries aren’t limited to OC’s! It can be fanart, a random character, whatever you like. If it is fanart, please make sure to list the character and place that it is from. If you’d like to draw someone else’s OC, please get their permission first.

  11. All drawing platforms are welcome! (Traditional, digital, etc.)

  12. Only one entry per week, per person.

  13. If it wasn’t obvious, this is a drawn entry only contest! No photo manipulation is allowed as well.

  14. If you’re coming from deviantArt, please make a journal entry to advertise the event! We want this to be as big as possible.

  15. Another quick note, if you're from deviantArt and don't know what Void is, it's a private server for a game called Elsword. If you're interested, the website is here. For the forums, just click community on the top of the website.

Prizes


For prizes, we’re doing something a bit different. Since this event is hosted by only 1 person with help by a small group of people, we’re really limited on what we can do for prizes for such a large event. What we decided to do is throw in prizes of our own, but also let people offer give prizes themselves! Rather than make another form, please just PM either the host or judges about what you have to offer.

Quick note as well, if you win points from DeviantArt but you’re from Void Forums and don’t use dA or vice versa, feel free to either give that prize to someone else or politely tell the prize-giver that you don’t have any use for the prize.

hi yeah i've been having hella bad art block lately so i thought why not open up art requests? they'll probably be messy "paintings". you can see what i mean by this here: 
doodle by Nokkii
except it'll be cleaner (still messy nonetheless aha)
i'm taking requests today only! i'll take them again in two weeks, but i'll make a journal for that when the time comes. the only reason being is that im not going to be at home, nor am i going to have my laptop. i will have my tablet with me, but only to show my mom how to use it while i'm in the states ;;. i wont have my drawing program/brushes/etc. etc.

EDIT: omg i almost forgot 'A'///
i wont draw nsfw, gore (blood/bandages/etc. are okay!), mech, over complicated outfits, lots of muscle, almost anything not human (human like creatures are fine (elves as an example)!! furries are fine as well uou//), complicated scenery
i think. that's it. if anything's out of my comfort zone i'll let you know.

yeah um i need to start drawing again! there's no limit on how many requests i'll be taking, so unless specified otherwise, these will always be open!
*i won't draw*
-heavy gore (blood is okay uwu)
-anything SUPER detailed (these will be clean & coloured sketches. i can't really fit a lot of detail into sketches -V-")
-nsfw (uhh just nudity may/may not be okay?? feel free to ask about it!)
-furries/animals (things like cat ears and tails are okay! just not full out furry/animal ((besides humans)))
-full bodies (i would totally do it but my anatomy sucks and it'd take up a lot of time u_u)
-hand holding/hugging/kissing (**i have nothing wrong with this!!! i'm just very low skilled in this.)

aaaand..i will draw just about anything else! if you're unsure, feel free to ask.
i'm sorry if i don't do your request, by the way! it'd most likely be because i don't feel like i can draw your request, or it's something i don't feel comfortable drawing.

um yea! i'll start drawing requests tomorrow, probably. uvu
