Okay! Welcome everyone! To the start of the Art of the Story! A contest to test who does well in translating literature into artwork.

We have ten artists ready to see if they can use/learn this skill:

And we have five well versed judges to make sure the final decision is fair.







Okay people, There are going to be three rounds.

Each round will have a specific instruction you'll need to follow for you art.

Six will move onto round two, and only four move on to the final round.

All artwork will be judged by the following:

Detailing: Whether lines are clean, coloring is done properly, and shading/lighting is correct. Overall, how much effort was put into the artwork.

Background: Rather than just leave the characters in a white void, give them a background befitting the scene and mood. Judgments are made on how accurate the background is to the setting.

Accuracy: As this is a translation, the pic will be judged on how well it reflects the scene it’s based on. If the characters, setting, background, action, and mood are accurate to the written scene, it’ll score well.

And the Rules are as follows

1. Your own artwork: You have to draw this yourself. Taking someone else’s work and claiming it as your own will not only render you disqualified, but you’ll get reported for art plagiarism.

2. Make sure to translate the scene you choose. No making up scenes that weren’t in the stories.

3. Adding dialogue, such as a speech balloon or some such, is permissible, but not required.

4. Do your best!

OKAY!

Round 1: Specific Scenes

Sometimes, artists will be asked to work with a very specific scene, so they have to do their best to work with what they're given.

For this round, we've selected five scenes from stories I've written, very special scenes that had good effort put into them. Contestants must choose one, and translate it into Artwork.

There is no deadline, but don't take to long on these.

Fur and FireThe Camera positioned itself, as the spot light focused on an anthro deer, and the show began.
"All over the city of Arcadia, there are dozens of talented chefs with amazing skills in the kitchen." she said, as another spotlight went onto a Dalmatian Anthro.
"But only one can claim the title of Master Chef."
"Hello, I'm Aile Grove." the Deer greeted.
"And I'm Tommy Jarrison." the Dalmatian said.
"And once again, 4 chefs are here to duke out for the top in another episode of..." Aile gestured to Tommy.
"Fur and Fire!"
The lights went on, revealing the competitive kitchen in all it's glory, as the two hosts walked to the center.
"The Rules as always, go as such, four chefs, three rounds, five judges. Each chef has to make an amazing dish before time runs out, but it's not that easy! Is it, Tommy?" Aile asked.
"Not easy at all." Tommy said. "Each round uses certain ingredients, and you have to use all of the neccesary ingredients in your dish."
"When time runs out, your dishs will be prof

Good Luck. (and don't just quit, at least give it a try)
