Kura's Color Contest




Welcome!

Well, I've finally done it..I've made another contest! This is only my second, so bear with me on this (wonderfully original title, right?). Anyway, the whole idea of this contest is to create something according to a specific color that I will chose. Could be anything. Yellow, violet, aquamarine, lilac, crimson, black, etc. Anyway, it'll be some sort of color. Now, for your part of the bargain. You have to draw or take a picture of something that is all or mostly that color. But remember, that color must be the focus of your art, whatever it may be. Oh, and make sure to read through all the rules and stuff carefully. Wouldn't want something lovely to be disqualified for a stupid reason, now would we?


So have fun! Get creative! And for goodness sakes, follow these rules!:

1.) Do NOT steal artwork and then claim it as your own, putting it on this contest. You will be kicked out :P
2.) Follow the Uploading Art Rules. It's just as simple as that.
3.) Follow the THEME of the contest. Anything that doesn't pertain to the contest will be disqualified.
4.) I will post the color of the month (or whatever time it takes to get enough entries) below this in big bold letters. If you can't see it, then I suggest an optometrist. :P
5.) There's a limit of three entries per person on any particular color.
6.) Please don't put "Vote for me!" in your mood. That irritates me a great deal, and you really do not want to irritate me. Read the next rule to find out why.
7.) Change in plans, here. There will be two winners now: A People's Choice Winner and an Owner's Choice Winner. The People's Choice Winner is the entry that won the poll. An Owner's Choice Winner is the entry that I like best. Each person will receive a badge, which I have shown below the rules.
8.) Post your username and any other comment you'd like to make above your picture.
9.) Have fun! I don't want to make this too serious, because that would completely defeat my purpose ^_^;
10.) Click on the images to make them bigger and see them in all their amazingness!
11.) It is all right to have photographs, but make sure that they are not just colored over with the color of the contest. Any photo that's been colored in Photoshop or another art program so that it's the right color will be deleted.
12.) Questions? Ask me! I'm [Kuramasgirl] <3

Glad I could be of assistance Kura :)

2009-01-04 [moira hawthorne]: http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_colornames.asp

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names

my opinion is that the correct hex colour code name charts would be more useful... as they are less subjective


2009-01-04 [Jitter]: Kura wanted the crayola ones though.

2009-01-04 [Jitter]: let's go golden next theme :D I'd like to paint something golden :3

2009-01-04 [Kuramasgirl]: Thank you for the other charts, moira. They're useful too. I was just looking at Crayola because I remembered them having crazy names and thought it might be fun. xD

I think gold would be a very good next color. If I remember correctly, we've been talking about doing gold for a while now...

2009-01-05 [Jitter]: Or Atomic Tangerine xD

2009-01-05 [Iske]: congrats to the winners

2009-01-05 [arthemis_]: Oeehh Gold is difficult! I'm looking forward to GOLD!

2009-01-05 [Kuramasgirl]: XD That one made me laugh. I was very tempted.

2009-01-06 [Iske]: SO gold it is then????? I have no idea how to do it tho but it is a challenge...

2009-01-06 [Jitter]: golden is usually acquired by shading with a mix of shades of brown, orange, yellow and white :)

2009-01-06 [Iske]: thx for the information [Jitter]

2009-01-06 [Jitter]: You're welcome :) It's even easier if you use digital media

I usually use reference to paint golden though

2009-01-06 [Triola]: Henning Ludvigsen <3

2009-01-06 [Jitter]: Aye ^^

2009-01-07 [Kuramasgirl]: Great information, Jitter! Thanks for putting it up here. I'm sure others will find it helpful too. :) Heck, I'll even be using that tip...

So yeah, gold's the next color. I'll put it up officially in a few days (when I actually have such a thing called "time"), but in the meantime it wouldn't hurt to get started. :) Good luck!

2009-01-08 [Jitter]: You're welcome ^^

Hmm if golden it is then I should get cracking!
