2-D Art - Music (visually represent a song)

RULES

Lets try and keep this fresh. The idea here is the physical manipulation of mediums in real life.

1. Any work of art or variation thereof which has been previously submitted for one of the contest rounds cannot be used in subsequent rounds of the contest.

2. Works must be your original work and ones that have never been copyrighted or, if copyrighted, that you are the sole copyright owner of.
2a. No submitting works for other people, for friends, etc. Your OWN work, very simple.

3. Only one work may be entered per contest.

4. All entries must be free of watermarks, signatures and borders

5. Entries must be no wider than 700 and no higher than 700.

6. Photoshop use is allowed , however,
6a. No complete photographs; i.e. pieces of photos/images may be used as long as the manipulation is obvious; there will be a suitable thread for your 100% manipulated/photoshopped photographs (in the near future).

7. Please include the original dimensions of your work, the mediums used, and any other info you feel is relevant. (your piece's pertinence to the theme is optional)


8. Deadline for entries is 12am eastern on the posted deadline date.

9. Voting ends at 12am eastern on the posted end date.

10. Post your entries in the appropriate thread in the form of an image, not a link to click on.

11. Don't be a dummy and vote for your own work, try and make it fun.

If you have a problem with another contestant's entry adhering to the contest guidelines, please PM the forum moderators. Do not try to begin a debate about the issue within the contest submission or poll thread! There will be zero tolerance towards any attempts to devolve a contest thread into a bash-fest or witch hunt.

We will pick the next theme and post it the night a contest ends for the next round so people have a full 14 days to produce something and submit it. After all the entries have been posted, a poll will be added on the last night, so people can vote. Voting will take place from midnight to midnight over the following 3 days (12am Sunday - 12am Wednesday).

Those who wish to participate in sharing larger images of their works (for desktop wallpaper use, for instance) may do so by providing a link only to the full sized version in the same post as their entry.

Thank you and have fun!


Please submit your entries in this thread and a mod will re-post them when voting starts in a separate voting thread.

i hate to always be the one asking questions... BUT...

is this draw/paint/design/etc. a picture related to music in theme, or while listening to an album (to be sited)? or is it however we want to represent music? like... could we potentially draw something while listening to an album once through and consider that a submission?

Does this basically mean you don't want people submitting photographs or photorealistic 'shops? But more heavily processed stuff is ok?
 
I believe the original meaning, as I understood it, implied that heavily manipulated photographs were out. In other words, if the foundation for your work was a photograph, which you then edited heavily, using Photoshop or such, then it would not qualify. If, on the other hand, you used the same Photoshop to create a piece from a blank canvas, that would be acceptable. In the latter, you could use pieces of a photo to incorporate into your work (collage?).
 
so something like this would work ?

There is too much philosophizing lately instead of raw game play.

we can only summit one entry
that ain't alot of "raw game play"
specially when no one has summited anything yet
so i like the philosophizing part around it...%)

but if you say we shouldn't play around,
well das cool with me %)
 
ah shit. many, MANY years ago i made a sweet pencil drawing of jimi hendrix playing guitar reclined in a cloud. ..... gotta find...
 
i dunno. in some ways, one could vaguely imagine that posting a piece of artwork to be scrutinised by anonymous strangers as daunting a task as climbing a mountain...;)
