What the judges were saying: The amount of detail, posing and intense lighting are amazing! We love how you depicted him in all of his savagery without making it look too brutal.

What the judges were saying: We felt like this was the most complete "scene" of all the entries, with a definitely story being told. With Samus approaching from her landed ship, and Ridley causing destruction in the foreground, you know that a duel is imminent. The traditional medium is very crisp and the brightness is a welcomed change to typical depictions of Ridley.

What the judges were saying: It's always awesome to see concept/manual versions of characters fleshed out by artists, and this artwork is fantastic! Way to be original with your choice of entry!

Concept  

Ridley

Our first ever contest dedicated to a single character besides Samus.
If you love Ridley, be sure to enter!




- You may include other characters in the picture, but Ridley must either be prominent or sharing the spotlight if you do.

- Any version of Ridley from any of the games is fine. Purple, red, metal, etc. It's all good!

-You can draw in any style, any medium. Fan fictions are also allowed.

-Your entry must be one made for this contest. No old deviations are allowed. No deviations made before [03-10-13] will be accepted.

-NO tracing, and TRY NOT TO copy. I've seen like, every Metroid art out there, and if you trace, your entry will not be allowed. And anyway, if you copy you're not going to win. Nobody ever votes for a trace.

-NO smudging of official art to make it look painted. Just... don't use official art, please. You have artistic minds, you can do it!

- No fan pairings.

-You may have up to three entries.

-Keep it PG13. Nothing vulgar will be allowed (including fetishes). No extreme gore. No nipples poking through clothing, no boobs the size of Texas. You get the picture. Be respectful.

-When your entry is done, submit it to our Contest 13 - Ridley folder in the gallery! And also comment with a link to it in this blog. That way if you accidentally submitted it to the wrong folder, we can still catch it and put it in the right one.



The winners of the contest will be determined by a panel of judges.

Also, if you're going to be a judge, you're still allowed to make an entry, but of course, you will not be up for winning.

Judges:



To Gain Favor with the Judges:

[X] Effort. It's REALLY easy to tell when someone puts a lot of effort into their work.

[X] Originality - Be creative and think outside the box.

[X] Appeal - don't just draw people standing around doing nothing. Make a scene! Put in some interaction. Make it fun for use to look at.
