Draw With Your Power - ROUND 16: SNAKE

[deepseadiva]

draw with your power​

First there was Write With Your Power, for our incredibly creative community. Then, Debate With Your Power, for those of us who love arguing. We even have Chess With Your Power. Now, I propose a new challenge to your power: DRAW WITH YOUR POWER!

"Draw With Your Power?" What's that?

Draw With Your Power (or DWYP for short) is a creative art contest. Each 'week' (which may end up being more than a week), I will submit a Smash character for you to draw... In your own rendition. That's right, your own style. Ever thought that Mewtwo should have had his Robot armor as an alternate costume? Make it. Did you hope that Luigi would get a chef outfit in Brawl? Give him one. Love the idea of an 8-bit Link? Do it! Be as creative as possible. At the end of each week, the SWF community will vote on which rendition is the best.

In short: DWYP is a SSB drawing contest, in which you draw characters your way.

Rules and Tips

• 1) Be creative. You probably won't get very far if you just trace a picture of Mario.

• 2) No nudity. Please. Really, people.

• 3) No submissions past the deadlines. Even if you're a minute late.

• 4) I change the rules often. Check the OP every once in a while.

• 5) Have fun with it!

• 6) No flaming whatsoever. Constructive criticism is good.

• 7) Multiple entries are allowed.

• 8) WHEN SUBMITTING AN ENTRY, PLEASE SAY HOW YOU MADE IT. OTHERWISE, IT WILL BE IGNORED!

• 9) Only one person can work on each entry. Sorry, no collaborations. I want everyone to have an equal chance.

Types of Art Allowed

Anything from Microsoft Paint to ceramic animals dressed up in funny outfits. However, if you do a digital artwork, you CANNOT use any existing image of the character.

Schedule

The new schedule is easy. One week after the character is announced, the new character is announced and switched to. Absolutely, under no circumstances, are late entries acceptable. No exceptions.*

*Unless you say something. Then we'll make an exception.

Judging

When it's time to judge, the entire SWF community will have the chance to vote on your work. I have no say in who wins, besides who I vote for. There are 3 categories: Hand-drawn, which includes doodles, comics, paintings, and the like; Digital, for anything made on a computer, be it on paint or Photoshop; and Other, for macaroni art, marble statues, and the like.

Of course, you can't vote for yourself.

There is also an overall best vote, for which piece of art you think is the all-around best, and a most creative vote, for which one you think had the best idea (if not exactly drawn the best).

In total, each round, you will have potentially 5 votes to use.

If there is ever a tie, another voting contest will be held between the two.

VOTING FORMAT

Hand-Drawn: ***
Digital: ***
Creative: ***
Other: ***
Overall: ***

Do I get anything if I win?!

Eh, I might add you to my friend list. Or maybe I'll make a Character Selection screen with the winners of each category.

But really, I know you want to be in my friend list.

ZOOK'S HINT FOR NEXT WEEK'S CHARACTER:

-

*This was originally slated to go in the Artwork Emporium, but I realized that the majority of SWF never goes there.

**Zook, the original creator of DWYP, is a busy guy. Most everything you see above, the original concept, and rules were first decided by him, but due to his busy-ness, he's currently incapable of running this beloved competition anymore. I, Meno, am simply the new thread manager. I'll just be making some slight adjustments, and accepting all questions/comments/complaints on Zook's behalf. The old DWYP thread can be seen here.

 

[Mit]

Gotta figure out if we're going to change submission dates. I strongly suggest Monday-Sunday, with voting Monday-Friday. Most entries won't show up until the end of the week anyways, and drawing on the weekend is something all of us artists have agreed needs to be allowed (since the majority of us have much more free time during the weekend).

Also, might want to include a link to the old thread in the OP somewhere.


And any new people reading this, we need your support too! Even if you can't draw, it'd be great if more people would vote every week.

 

[Frown]

How about updating the archive post?

 

[Ange]

Awesome, Meno!

Now it feels like DWYP is alive again.

I wont nag you about this, but you betta keep the Archive updated. Check Zylars Archive and latest voting results for the winners.

 

[Red Arremer]

Uh, check the second post? Everything until Week 7 is already in there. I can understand that Meno took a break (for sleeping probably). Be patient.

 

[Zook]

Hello, all!

Gotta figure out if we're going to change submission dates. I strongly suggest Monday-Sunday, with voting Monday-Friday. Most entries won't show up until the end of the week anyways, and drawing on the weekend is something all of us artists have agreed needs to be allowed (since the majority of us have much more free time during the weekend).

Hmm, I think think that thread might become stagnant that way. Maybe if we accept submissions Tuesday to Saturday, then vote Sunday to Monday?

Really, we don't need 5 days to vote.

 

[Gnarly Charlie]

Hello, all!

Hey, Zook, are you still gonna be posting pictures? Or maybe just time-to-time? 'Cause I was lookin' through the archive, and your stuff like Praying Mantis Zelda and Unmasked Meta-Knight were pretty awesome.

 

[Hydra.]

I don't understand what character we are on now.
I would like to take part in some of these. =D

 

[Frown]

I don't understand what character we are on now.

No one, at the moment.

 

[Hydra.]

Why is that?

Are we voting right now?

 

[Frown]

Why is that?

Are we voting right now?

We're waiting for the next week to begin. It will be Mario, because Mario is a bug.

 

[Red Arremer]

We're waiting for the next week to begin. It will be Mario, because Mario is a bug.

A bug, huh? Then I guess it will be Dedede. His chaingrab obviously is a bug.

 

[Lythium]

I think it's Peach.

 

[Ange]

Why is that?

Are we voting right now?

DWYP has recently been going thru a transition, which is why we're currently waiting for the next character.

Guys, youre all wrong. Its Wario.

 

[Bomber7]

my guess. it will be Ness. new york, new pork? snake, or peach.

 

[Mit]

I'm still going with Peach.

More submission discussion.

I just said Monday-Friday to give a nice even period of voting, could easily be Monday-Wednesday or something (that just seems a bit more difficult to remember.)

Sunday-Tuesday for voting and Wednesday-Saturday for submissions could work, although I still like the idea of overlapping voting with submission times, in order to maximize the time we can draw.

 

[Super_Sonic8677]

It's so totally Olimer.

 

[Disfunkshunal]

It's so totally Olimer.

smart man.

 

[Pikamari]

Its mario.
The first image is his taunt when he takes his hat off
the second image is his taunt when he spins then falls on the ground
the third image is when he grows

 

[Mit]

Its mario.
The first image is his taunt when he takes his hat off
the second image is his taunt when he spins then falls on the ground
the third image is when he grows

Brilliant if correct.

Moar submission time discussion.

 

[Gnarly Charlie]

Its mario.
The first image is his taunt when he takes his hat off
the second image is his taunt when he spins then falls on the ground
the third image is when he grows

GENIUS!

I'm feeling pretty stupid for jumping the gun and drawing Peach now. Guess I'll just save that one for another week. Hahaha! I love how these hints have a whole 'nother layer to them!

 

[Disfunkshunal]

Brilliant if correct.

Moar submission time discussion.

i really dont see why voting needs to overlap submissions of the next week.
keep it two days to vote and five to draw like it is just make voting like monday and tuesday or sunday and monday like zook said.

 

[Bitter Romantic]

Its mario.
The first image is his taunt when he takes his hat off
the second image is his taunt when he spins then falls on the ground
the third image is when he grows

I feel silly thinking it was Peach :O
even if it were to be wrong [though unlikely], it's an amazing analysis <3

SO glad to see that this thing will continue :3

 

[deepseadiva]

Phew!

Done with a MASSIVE update.

So yes, this week's character, as Zook has revealed to me, is PEACH! Zook will be revealing character's hopefully every Friday, with a hint before hand of course.

I've come up with a schedule that hopefully caters to everyone nicely. If not, we'll talk and look over it's flexibility. Look in OP for details. Deadline is Wednesday night! GO GO SWF artists!

 

[Mit]

I've gotta say, I hate that schedule :\

It does allow for us to draw on the weekend, although I like to think about my idea, throw sketches around during the week when I have less time, and then finalize and put in all the hard work during the weekend.

On the schedule you posted, I'd have to do that backwards, which wouldn't really work out, and I'd just have to make the entire picture on Saturday/Sunday pretty much.

I say go with either Sunday/Monday as voting days, or Monday/Tuesday. Then we get the first part of the week to throw ideas around, and the final part of the week (the weekend), when we have the most time, to really finish up our pictures.


Also: great job on the aesthetics of the OP update.

 

[Frown]

AAAAAAAHW, I can't believe I didn't figure this one out.

 

[:034:]

Peach? ****, I can't miss the chance... But I'm really busy the next couple days... What to do... What to do...

Oh well, I'll just draw her in skimpy clothing and call it a day.

 

[Ange]

@Frown: You're too slow.



IC3R wins the cookie this time.

Im also pretty negative about that schedule. I do need my time to start up the picture during the week, then finish it off around Friday-Sunday. Especially if Im working in Photoshop.

 

[deepseadiva]

'Kay, schedule is still flexible as said.

I'll probably scoot it to drawing on Tuesday - Saturday, voting on Sunday - Monday, if reaction is still "bleh".

 

[Hydra.]

My peach is coming along well. =D All drawn out now moving it to photoshop.

 

[Pikamari]

Oh THATS where the bug guy is from, yeah i remember now
I thought i was super smart for thinking it was mario ._.

 

[Hydra.]

Okay maybe I will give up. lol. This is hard.


Nevermind I am turning it in as a drawling now.

 

[Moozle]

I really like the thing in the OP that says days when you can draw and days when you can vote Meno

Ahh Peach is my secondary I have to do SOMETHING

 

[Hydra.]

On the drawling one I used 2H and 2B pencils.
The graphic one I used Photoshop CS3.

 

[Mit]

Moar comments on the drawing/voting times. Surely more of you can weigh in on whether or not you like it.

I'd personally love it if we could just make this week an slightly longer week, and accept submissions until Saturday night, and vote Sunday-Monday. I'd like to do something more than a sketch for Peach :\

 

[Hydra.]

I think the schedule is fine. I was able to sketch mine in two days and photoshop it in one.

 

[Man of Popsicle]

I can drawz crummy pikshures.

 

[deepseadiva]

I'd personally love it if we could just make this week an slightly longer week, and accept submissions until Saturday night, and vote Sunday-Monday. I'd like to do something more than a sketch for Peach :\

Don't worry about missing deadlines this time - it's the first week of the new DWYP, it's still in experimentation mode. We'll be flexible, so no worries.

 

[Bitter Romantic]

agreed with Mit: at least for this week, to extend the time for drawing D:
I need more than three days to spam the boards with my main's goodness D:

please? ;-;


working on my pieces, hoping they come up to what I have in mind :/
