In order to foster some creativity and increase people's interest in vexels, `shebid and myself have decided to host monthly vexel contests. Each month we will be providing the community with a vexel related challenge, kicking it all off with an incredibly beautiful stock image provided by the amazing !Katanaz-Stock. Read on to find out more about the contest and its rules!

:bulletred: The Rules:



1. ALWAYS follow the stock artist's rules.
2. Submit your finished entry to the Vexel gallery.
3. Send a note to both `shebid and myself with a link to your deviation. Subject should be "Vexel Contest Entry". (In your notes, put "shebid, Jules1983" in the receiver(s) box.)
4. Must be a legit vexel.
5. Feel free to add things to the picture, but be sure to either us dA stock (remember, read rule #1) or your imagination (i.e. freehanded). Should you decide to add things, be sure your vexelled version of the picture above will still be the main focus of your final vexel.
6. Deadline: March 24th, 2009. Please note that the contest ends on the deadline stated at 11:59:59 PM PST.
7. Not exactly a rule, but worth a mention anyway. Feel free to change colors, clothes, whatever you want. Be as creative as you want to be!

Anything NOT following the stock artists rules and these rules will be disqualified.

You are not exactly sure what a vexel is? Please read this article, and also feel free to browse this favourites collection containing vexel tutorials.

Last but not least...


:bulletred: The Prizes:



Well, since this is a monthly competition, there will be only one winner each month.
The winner will receive a 3-month subscription, a feature in both `shebid's and my journal, and an interview that will be posted as an article.

How are we going to choose a winner, you may wonder. `shebid and I will narrow the entries down to three finalists, which will then compete against one another in a poll. This poll will be up for 5 days, so the winner will be announced on March 31.


Questions and/or concerns? Note either `shebid or `Jules1983! Good luck everyone! :party:

i'd love to this one (again) but unfortunately i don't have photoshop or any other program to use right now (except GIMP and i'm not so good with it yet)....oh well. i did already do this stock photo, but i know most contests need new entries. great idea though. i will keep my eyes peeled for future contests, after i get another program. :)

ps- if you wanna see what i already did with this stock, look here [link] and here [link]
they're pretty old, and i think my style has gotten a bit better since. but i still like 'em. thanks again.
