Fan Art Awards
 

Well as of now I'm making the nomination form, so this week start
surfing the net for tmnt pics you wanna nominate. (and remember to
record the urls!) Remember, you can't nominate art that won last year
so here's the list of last years winners if you're not sure.

I'll be posting the rules for this year and soon and I run them by
some people :)

Amanda

~Oh coolness! First, Amanda, I'm sorry about the delay in finishing up the Fanfic Awards, but I think most TMNT fans are capable of a *bit* of multi- tasking, so even if the Fic Run-offs run into the Art nominations, i don't think anyone's gonna crumble under the pressure.....
And it has just occured to me that at the time of last year's Art Awards, my website was down...heh..... I might even get to play this year!

~GW

Ho-kay!

I've finished and tested the final nomination form and it works (yay!) I wanted the nominations to open on Halloween but if this collides with the fic awards (boy we gotta get a 6 month break from the two) I can take it back a week.

Um, after a little bird mentioned to me, I've added a new category this year for "Best repainting of a TMNT figure" which basically means for all those people who've customised tmnt figs and weapons to come forward and be recognised. (some of them are hella cool!) So if you're one of these people, get your pictures up online STAT and tell me.

Brina has helpully compiled a list of links (which have gotten *most* of them since a few people don't advertise much) in case you don't know where to start. These aren't suggesting who to vote for, it's just helping you find stuff easier.

The rules should be up on the Fan Art Awards site soon, I'm just going over them. Here's the site:

To the fic awards organisers: tell me if there's any problems with the Halloween date and contact me ASAP, otherwise I'll continue as planned.

I'll post again when the nominations are open.

Good Luck!

Amanda

Yay! Thanks to the best re-paint category I'll get to have some entries!!! *Does happy dance*

Question!!!


Can RPG art be involved, as long as its of the main characters (turtles, Splinter)?

*blinks* Well, if it meets the criteria of the category, I don't see why not.

Ooh, can "Best repainting of a TMNT figure" include figures who were not originally TMNt figures?

*lol* Or as Lisa had prodded me... pumpkins made to look like TMNT faces? :P

Grr...I still need to do my pumpkin! I'm torn between a TMNT pumpkin, or a Roger pumpkin!

Kali is right, although there isn't a specific rpg art category (which will be introduced next year) if the pic fits into another category (like original character) you can nominate it :)

Yes, I will allow that.

With the pumpkin thing, I think that can be put into the painting category. I was kinda hoping that Halloween will be the date for the Art awards from now on (makes it easier for ppl to remember ;) ) And maybe next year I can have a specialised category for Halloween which will include all sorts of mediums as long as it's Halloween themed :) Just make sure if you're doing the pumpkin today, get those photos up online and pronto so they can be nominated!

Any other questions you can email me at [email protected] and I'll be checking my mail in about an hour :)

Good luck to everyone!

Amanda

*BUMP!*

Oh yeah yeah... I have to wait till this weeknd until I can sit down for a couple hours straight and seek out some nominees.... :oops:

*bump*

I'm done... who else? :P

I sent mine in today, and I will definatly be voting since I never got around to vote in the Fanfic Awards (atleast looking at Fan Art isn't as time consuming :tanime: )

~*BUMP*~


GO NOMINATE SOMEONE.

http://amandatello.thetechnodrome.co...rds/index.html

*waves* I just sent in mine! And I hope Amanda gets my followup email because I managed to accidentally send in the form before finishing my last nomination. :goofygri:

Ohh yes... this is the last day too! Err... assuming that she is going by the US calendar.

~*BUMP BUMP*~

GO NOMINATE, IT"S GETTING LATE!!

Okay okay! I'm nominating already...

VOTING OPEN!
 

Well I've finally finished it, the voting form for the 3rd TMNT Fan Art Awards is open...

The voting will go for the next seven days and if there are some ties, a dead heat round which will also take up a week.

dang if only my TMNT pic was done

http://home.attbi.com/~bigthew/tmnt.jpg

when does the contest end??, and is there a prize?

Wow, there are a lot of familiar names up there this year. *elbows a few fellow posters*

:D Someone nominated some of my figures! :D

:teek:

OH my God! I Got nominated...

*eyes roll back*

*thud*

*nudges Machias with her foot* You're welcome. :lol:

:o OMG! They've got my hug picture up there. :toops:

I nominated acouple of my own, as well as Brinatello's and acouple other people.

Ohh, damn. If I only could get my scanner workin'

'Tis a hard world

Well, there's always next year. :D

Wow...there definately seems to be a ton of awesome artists in this fandom! I really need to get my site up so I can scan some of my stuff in too...

:teek: Gosh... blue turtles seem to be poppin' up all over the place. :oops:

And I can't believe I was nominated for the fanart awards! Heh... I know I'm not gonna win, but it's an honor to be up there. Thanks to whomever sent in the nomination. Very kind of ya. ;)

Azure, we're just trying to butter you up so that when you become rich and famous, you'll remember us all. :D

LOL!!! :lol: Rich and famous? How am I gonna accomplish that? But hey, I'll never forget you or all the other friends I've met here. You're all an amazing bunch. :)

~Amanda -- since I haven't said it yet on the lists-- that is a beautiful and very user friendly voting form! Great job!
You know what's funny-- I think of the couple of pieces of mine that got nominated, there are more pics of my fanfic character Lia than pics of the TMNT...
And thankies to whomever nominated them ! :D

~GW

I was also giggling at some of the catagories my drawings landed themselves in. :P But woooow! Looks like it'll be pretty tough trying to decide who to vote for. Lots of good picks... why do I hafta choose two from each?

Oh, and for those who just missed this years nomination round, we'll do this again next year. Never fear! The prizes are nothing big though. You just get a digital plague and the bragging rights of having damn good art.

Though, we might host some random art contests before the next FanArt Awards too, that may or may not have a material prize. Last fall we had a mutant hybrid contest that turned out some pretty cool results.

Lastly, for those who aren't aware, the offical Mirage website also holds monthly art contests too. You usually get something cool like a signed comic if your drawing is among those posted on their site. (but do be informed of this: Artwork becomes the sole property of Mirage Studios. )

~*CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE NOMINEES!!*~
....and many thank yous to whoever nominated me.

:teek:
*chokes on the confetti*
You're welcome... :dead:

*a tail lays limp under a giant pile of confetti*

:dead:

kya re-evaluates her idea of using WALRUSes as confetti.

... hmm ... note to self: walrus too dense. try silk scarves next time.

Or little pieces of paper.

Honestly, I was shocked by how much, and exactly what was nominated from my galleries. Actually, a couple of pictures were choosen that I had been considering taking down.

Yeah I like the idea of smaller contests inbetween the big ones. Like the fic challenge and last years Art contest. Tho for the art contest, I'd really like to see a difference theme each year for the artists to draw to. Unless the good fae herself has organised that already?

P.S Thanks for the compliments GW, mucho appreciated :tgrin:
