Art Archive The Official Fan Art Challenge (February)

Welcome to the Offical Fan Art Challenge! Each month, artists of all skill levels will be able to choose between a list of topics in six categories based on the "Essential Guide" books(Characters, Aliens/Species, Droids, Vehicles, Location and a Wild Card). 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*
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. Good luck to all participants!

It fits perfectly into the challenge, JediXManSerenaKenobi, nicely done! It's very cute and works great as a Christmas card!

Sorry to hear that, B24. Good luck with all your endeavors and perhaps we can see more from you next month.

 

I would like to thank everyone who participated in last month's challenge despite the busy holiday season! You really produced some amazing work and I look forward to January's entries!

With that in mind, the January challenge is now up!

 

Another great oil painting, obi-wan!

Nice texture on the rocks in the background and capturing the feel of the clothing! Thanks for posting it!

 

Great work, everyone! I would like to thank all who participated! Awesome work!

The February challenge is now up and ready to go!

 

Great work, everyone!

Ty, I love the grayscale Leia - nice characterization!

OnlyJediPrincess, great slave Leia! The likeness is very nice! Nice job!

And JediXManSerenaKenobi, as I said in your thread, great Han and Leia! You can never have enough of the best SW couple!

 

Welcome, Glitbiter and awesome artwork! Your style reminds me of a fellow artist here at the JC going by the name of angel_gidget. If you're interested, you can take a look at her work here. With that said, I love the way you depicted the characters and came up with your own unique interpretation. The coloring is also nicely done! Overall, nice work!

And I hope you don't mind, but I went ahead and corrected the link in your post. Here is the correct markup code for future reference:
