Welcome to the Offical Fan Art Challenge! Each month, a single subject or category from the Star Wars universe will be chosen for artists of all skill levels to interpret. A wide range of media will be accepted including, but not limited to, graphite/ink drawings, paintings, photo-manips, digitial paintings/drawings, collages and posters. It's really whatever you're inspired to do. Be creative! If the subject is a TIE Fighter, don't just draw a TIE Fighter, try to incorporate it into a scene that's interesting. Or perhaps you would rather take the Alliance's view on the TIE. The possibilities are endless!

*NEW* - 2/6/09
As an extra twist, the Challenge will now be considered as a contest or a game. At the end of each quarter(Fall;September-November, Winter;December-February, Spring;March-May, Summer;June-August), all pieces of artwork submitted during that particular time period will be up for nomination for the "Art Challenge Fan Favorite Award." If your artwork makes it through the nomination process and wins the final vote, you will be awarded colors of your choosing and a title for a week to sport around the entire JC. But wait! There's more! As an added bonus, the winning piece of artwork will also be created into an icon and uploaded onto the JC forums for all to see and use at their choosing. Good luck to all participants!

    Huh. What're the odds of someone picking the same scene and film in the same day.

    Oh well. This will make it interesting. I'll give you your assignment, but please remember to send your choices to me via PM next time. Thanks! happy

    Great idea for a challenge, I love the idea of interpreting a whole scene as opposed to just one reference shot or something! dancing Be really interesting to see what everyone comes up with!

    I've sent my pm.

    Also if your having trouble picking a number you could use random.org to give you a random number, that's what I did. You could also use it to pick your film if you want to be really random.

    Well, since I didn't know how my free time would be later, I spent most of my free time finishing this since I got it.

    Here it goes mischief

    Mitth: This really came together in the end! You focused in on one particular moment and really went to town. I know you mentioned the background was an accident, but it was a happy accident. The toned background gives the drawing a whole new life.

    earlybird: Very nice! You approached this as you would a spot illustration for a story and that's exactly what I was looking for. You summed up the scene nicely. What medium did you use for this?

    Here's a first draft of my entry. I'm not sure whether or not to leave it like this or ink it. I'll decide later. tongue

    I_AM_GEEK: Oh wow, I'm not sure why I didn't see this sooner. That is really impressive. You captured the scene quite nicely using very simplistic shapes. I love it! grin

    Serena: Great start! I like where this is going but as it stands now, it appears a little too rough. I think it would really benefit from an ink job. My suggestion would be to ink Luke in the foreground and color him in as usual. Leave the background "un-inked" and just fill it in with swirls and splotches of color to suggest the jungle scene and the presence of the X-wing. happy
