Party Contest~! ($$$)

[Xinxinix]

'Hoh boy, 'hoh wow~!

It's about that time, folks !!!

August happens to be my birthday month, and my birthday happens to be at the end of August (the 30th) and it also also just so happens that all I want for my birthday is to see some new art !!!

(and it just so happens I tend to commission NG artists quite frequently ?? [with some being WIPs atm!])

But, man, just viewing new art isn't enough?? MY HUNGER GROWS AND THE ONLY WAY TO SATIATE MY APPETITE FOR NEW ART IS TO INFLUENCE ITS PRODUCTION WITH A CONTEST !!!

A BIG CONTEST!!

WITH VAGUE RULES

AND OCs !!! (my favorite!)

SOMETHING THAT SAYS,

"WOW, THIS IS LIT"

"OOF"

"AM I INVITED?"

"WHERE ARE MY PANTS???"

"ARREST THAT MAN!!!"

"GET TO THE POINT ALREADY!!! >:("

A PARTY CONTEST!!!

DEVIOUSLY RAD POSTER DESIGN BY THE ONE AND ONLY @FuShark

(kiss that man on the mouth if you ever see him) <3

+ Entries must be uploaded to the Newgrounds Art Portal via your profile.

• Include the tag "party-contest-2020" if you want me to kiss your forehead.

+ Multiple entries are permitted.

+ Comics are also permitted.

+ Art has to be of your own creation.

• Collaborations are permitted (and encouraged!) and will be referred to as one submission.

+ Your submission must be posted in this thread and uploaded to the Portal before the deadline.

- LIMITATIONS

+ No NSFW

- DEADLINE

+ Aug 28th, 11:59pm EST

+ Winners will be announced Aug 29th, 9:00pm EST during the NGP Block Party Discord event~!

• The Block Party is a Discord event hosted by @TheNewgroundsPodcast featuring music, art streams, party games, and movies-- all in the good name of Newgrounds!
• You do not have to be a member of the NGP Discord in order to win.
• Another announcement of the winners will be on the forums with full explanations on the next Saturday after the NGP Block Party (Sept. 5th)

• Donators will be able to vote on their favorite submissions to increase that contestant's chances of winning.

- JUDGING

+ Judging will be solely done by myself.

+ Creativity is the most important aspect for a submission; I will not lean towards specific styles or artists that I've become acquainted and/or familiar with.

• Creativity can be generalized as originality, thematic use of style, and intelligent use of the prompt.
• The more precise the idea is, the more I'm inclined to score it higher.

+ Bonus Points: there are a few things that will grant you a higher score if included in a clever way.

• Multiple OCs
• Backgrounds
• Summer Themes
• Dialogue/Comics
• Your Own OC
• Fun Atmosphere
• Good Fashion Design

+ Negative Points: there's really only one way to lose points.

• Using Non-Original Characters

And I believe that is everything!!

If you have any questions, please message me here on Newgrounds or send me an email at XinxinixArt(@)gmail.com, or even add me on Discord at Xinxinix#8147.

Prize money will be given via PayPal, so please have one handy.

Have fun everyone~! And remember to party hard !!! (but also responsibly & stylishly!)

Much, much love, and best of luck !

That works!

Thank you for including the tag~!

We have our first entry! ^^

[ChrisAnimator93]

Sounds like fun!

I'm in! I need to draw more anyway and my OCs need something to do instead of just sitting in my art folder

[FeverPitched]

Ah this looks like a lot of fun, time for me to get into the party spirit.

[Liquorice]

I think I might need to clean up my schedule a bit if I want to join in on this! I need an excuse to draw my OC's

Also, Fu nailed this poster!!

[OrionGD]

I would join, but I am bad at drawing.

[TIGZON]

Alright, that's pretty cool!

I might as well as do something since I barely have anything to draw.

[LewdieZyna]

Im tOtally in!!!

[TheCoolCatCrew]

Gotta say, sounds interesting!!

[MrShmoods]

Ok, now this is epic

[bonipops]

Here is one of my submissions that I thought fit well! :D

[Pyronator]

Ah yes a good contest in which I have no chance in winning

How so?

I judge purely on creativity, so it doesnt matter how great at art you are, just that your idea is refined and exceptional compared to others.

Someone with 10 years experience versus a newbie artist could lose because their idea falls flat comparatively.

I say give it a shot if you ever find yourself motived to!

Aww now I’ve been reinvigorated

[Twoeliz]

Well, entering a contest of such magnitude can be quite intimidating. After all there are so many talented and creative people that it can be pretty hard to compete with them but I'm willing to give this a try. Challange accepted!

[Mewx]

I may just get in on this
