Interested Artists!

Jan 18, 2011 11:50

This is NOT an artist sign-up. That post will take place later, when we have some stories for the artists to work with. This is to get an idea of how many artists might be interested in taking part ( Read more... )

Uhm, what kind of art are we talking about? *unsure* Painting? If that's the case, I'll be of no use here. I am sooooo not talented for drawing, three-year-old kid can probably do better than me. *lol*
But if banners are acceptable, you know who to ask... :)

Banners, photomanips, or other computer art is perfectly acceptable. While we do expect to get some artists who do traditional painting or drawing, that's not all we will accept!

Check the profile page for a little more info, and there will be more on this later!

Ooops! *blush* I asked the question that was already answered in FAQ. Sorry. It's just that I read that part very superficially, because I don't consider myself an artist. In this challenge, I see myself as a reader and a cheerleader; in my mind, I associated the word "art" with painting - which is something I am not capable of. And that is why I didn't read Artist FAQ carefully. *blush*

I can do digital art and photo-manipulations. Well, I can do traditional also, but haven't in a long time and I think I'd do better with computer art. You can see samples of my stuff at my websites: http://delroz.bravepages.com/elves/dreamflower.html I also do graphics and stuff as well.

I love your digital art-- I recall some beautiful pieces you uploaded at MPTT's art gallery! It would be wonderful!

Thanks Dreamflower......and I am flexible as to portraying characters--for instance, if you have an OC or canon character who has not been portrayed in a movie, or if you don't like the way Peter Jackson & company cast so-and-so, no problem. If you think Daniel Day-Lewis should have played Boromir, for instance, I can deal with that, and somehow convincingly work Daniel's head onto Sean Bean's body or whatever...even though I think Sean was the cat's meow as Boromir, myself...LOL I can work with your ideas or use my own judgment.

I would be interested in creating art. I make photo-manips using screenshots from the LOTR films. I can create scenes that don't exist (see icon) but I don't graft character's heads onto other people's bodies.

That sounds great! I think photo-manips will be in great demand from our authors.

I am considering participating as an artist myself-- while I do some drawing and painting, it tends to be more decorative in nature. I don't do "people drawings" often, but hope to get a bit more skilled in that area.

My primary art is calligraphy and I do a number of crafts, so if a writer wanted a picture of an "artifact" or an "original document", I could probably oblige them.

I'm definitely interested, as you already know. I mainly do digital art of people and scenes with a nice background. I like drawing hobbits but I'm not against drawing other races, as well, since they all have fascinating looks to them. I've been pushing myself to draw harder, more detailed scenes, and I think I've gotten a lot better in the last year. You can see my gallery by clicking here.

I love your hobbits, and am so glad you are going to do this!
