07-01-07 Updated Information here --> Epic Artwork Competition
Deadline extended by request to July 31st. This will probably be the only extension, however, so count on the end of the month to be the last chance to get anything in!
We are looking for artwork submissions for a fan created Epic Supplement entitled Epic: Raiders (coming October 2007). ?The supplement will contain the army lists for the Minervan Armored Regiment (Imperial Guard), the Dark Eldar, and the Necron, along with modeling tips for how to do scratch builds, scenarios, model pics, and a full blown body of 'fluff'.
Please send your submissions (or link to your submissions) along with your full name to [email=moscovian@hotmail.com.]moscovian@hotmail.com.[/email]
The Prizes!
To spur you folks to new heights, we the list developers are offering First and Second Place prizes, and we are doing what we can to create a third place.
PRIZE GRAB BAG
? Epic scale 6mm Necron Warriors (the old Chaos Androids), which will be
unbased and unpainted.
? Epic scale Pylon scratch built by Necron Champ Corey himself.
? Epic scale scratch built Necron Warbarque - the newest edition to the
Necron list.
? Epic scale ?Beatle Back? Imperial Titan, fully painted by Ben Skinner.
? $25 US in purchases from Games Workshop
While you may not play Epic, there are a bunch of people out there who would love to get their mittens on these goodies.
1st Place Winner will have his choice of two prizes. In addition, his or her artwork could be featured on the cover of Epic: Raiders and the winner will receive a printed, bound copy of the Epic: Raiders supplement.
2nd Place Runner Up will receive one prize of his or her choice (after the 1st place winner chooses) and could have his or her artwork be featured on the inside cover
position. In addition the 2nd place winner will receive a printed, bound copy of the Epic: Raiders supplement.
3rd Place Runner Up will receive one prize of his or her choice (after the 1st & 2nd place winners choose). In addition the 3rd place winner will receive a printed, bound copy of the Epic: Raiders supplement. NOTE: Third place prize will only be granted if we
receive more than 25 submissions.
All submissions must be either scanned and sent in a readable format (jpg, bmp, etc) in an email (moscovian@hotmail.com) or mailed physically to me to be scanned. ?Since this endeavor will ultimately be available as a pdf file, all artwork will be compared and judged in their electronic format. ?Keep this in mind as (for example) sketches, while they may look fantastic on paper, will suffer if they are too light or not scanned properly. ?Fair warning! ?I am not responsible if you send something to me and the scanning job sucks.
By submitting your artwork to us, you are giving us ownership of the image, in whole or in part, and permission to use it freely from now until forever in a free publication. ?You will never profit from it as we will never profit from it. ?Even if you do not win the contest, we still may use your artwork inside the body of the supplement or in a future publication. ?Of course GW ultimately owns everything - just ask them.  Seriously though,
All submissions must be original artwork done by YOU, not just found by you. ?If you are not an artist and know somebody who is, you cannot submit their work (although whatever nefarious arrangements you make with that artist to get them to submit something are entirely up to you). ?All artwork will be properly credited in the publication, of course.
Mediums: We are not picky. ?They can be photoshop generated, pencil sketches, painted, CGI, whatever. ?As long as the image can be ultimately loaded as a jpeg file, you are good.
You may make as many submissions as you wish, but please make them as appropriate to the project as possible. ?Here is some ideas what we are looking for:
*Dark Eldar
*Necrons
*Minervan Armored Regiment
*Tallarn Light Armored Regiment
*Desert landscape
*Inclusion of Epic scale units not commonly found in 40k scale (Pylons, Aeonic Orb, Slavebringers, Barge of Pleasure, Stormblades, Lemun Russ formations, etc.)
*Battle shots
*Artwork that includes more than one army type
*The artwork does not have to meet all the criteria above (or even any of it!), but this will give you some idea of the direction we are looking.
All submissions will be considered and judged by Corey Perez (Necron Champion), Ben Skinner (Tallarn Armored List Developer), and the Dark Eldar team (Frank, Erik, and myself). ?Work can be submitted from the day of this post until 23:59 hours on July 15th, 2007. ?We may extend the contest as late as August 30th if there are not a sufficient number of entries (at least 20).?
Until then, please do not post your submissions anywhere else. ?FYI this contest will be posted on other forums, so just be aware that there is only one contest, not one per forum.
Anyone wanting to assist the project can PM me and I'll let you know what gaps are left to fill. ?One way would be to donate anything to the 'prize pool'. ?Even a lone Lemun Russ tank (combined with the other prizes) could help encourage the right artwork.
Lastly, if you have any questions about the contest, the 'look' of a vehicle, the outline of the story, etc. feel free to PM or post here.
Thanks for your interest and I look forward to seeing your work!
