Art Archive The Fan Art Challenge Holiday Special - December 2005

[image=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/HSolo29/challenge-img.jpg]

"We celebrate a day of peace.
A day of harmony.
A day of joy we can all share together joyously.
A day that takes us through the darkness.
A day that leads us into might.
A day that makes us want to celebrate the light.
A day that brings the
promise that one day, we'll be free to live, to laugh,
to dream, to grow, to trust, to love, to be."

Now that you'll all probably kill me for posting the lyrics to the song Leia sings in the Holiday Special, we'll move onto the Challenge. :p

Each month we will post up four topics on different themes that people can choose from. You can submit drawings, paintings, posters, collage, photo-manipulation... whatever you're inspired to do.

Here are the previous Fan Art Challenges:

That's it. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of great artwork and hopefully we'll see some amazing pieces. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post 'em here.

The deadline for this challenge is [b]January 1st[/b].

 

Great stuff so far, everyone!

And how did that Luke card end up here again?

PLJ, your link isn't working for me. I just get a box with a line through it.

 

There we go!

Very nice card! And you picked the Solo family too!

It's great to finally see some real-life models for some of the characters. I really like it! Good job!

 

Welcome to the boards, FattyMac! When I first saw your icon I thought I was demoted for a moment.

Anyway, I agree with you about the old contests. I used to enjoy checking out all the entries and was tempted to enter them, but I didn't have PS or any computer programs like that at the time.

I love your concept. The sense of depth is really nice with the window there. And of course, it conveys the feeling of the holidays quite well. Nice job!

 

Ooo...nice job with the emotional value with these last two. The Force Ghosts was a really good idea and I love the wording to the one with Anakin and Padme.

Great job, ShrunkenJedi and PadmeLeiaJaina!
