I'll make this much simpler for everybody.
Basically it's a game in whcih I post a picture and then you try to draw that picture as best you can. However, to make things a little harder you must draw them to my specifications, if I say no green you must not use green. If I say you must only draw squares then you must only draw squares to duplicate the picture.
You must have an art programme to compete. Paint will suffice but you may find it easier to compete with something more advanced.
You will need to host your own images for the duration of the contest, to do so you must upload them somewhere on the internet. Some good free sites to upload onto are :
http://www.1asphost.com

Rounds will last between 3 and 5 days depending on how difficult the round is.
Selected judges, including myself, will decide on which two pictures look least like the original image (requirements will be taken into account). The creators will be eliminated.
Because this contest is all ab out fun and drawing skills, you may not use images from the internet unless I state otherwise. This includes tube brushes on programmes such as Paint Shop Pro.

Paint Shop Pro 9

Macromedia Fireworks

Round One -
I decided to be nice and let Yesitish into the game even though he never PMed me asking to play.
Round one is up, however, the judges are not. I have selected them but I decided that even they should play at least one round. Basically, everybody who signed up must compete for this round. I will reveal the judges after the time limit is up and the judges will judge all work except that of the judges.
Play as if you're a contestant, don't rely on the fact that you'll be judge.
The first picture you must duplicate is :
A beachball Hotlinked to prevent stretching. Seems simple right ?? Right ??
Anyways...
Due Date : Saturday 9th
