This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Tis the Season to do FANART!!! X-MAS UTENA FANART CONTEST!!!

ALLLRIGHTY!

First things first, before the contest goes on I think there should be some things that are decided upon...

Namely, the prizes, the deadlines, any requirements, & basic rules.

I already know for sure that there should be five categories for submissions!

1. Group Pictures
2. Slash Pictures
3. etc-wankgirl/etc-wankdude-worthy Guys
4. etc-wankgirl/etc-wankdude-worthy Girls
5. Duelists in Suits (just to see how much Armani Gio can take...)

So... post up your ideas & we'll get this party started!!!

Someone should have a slot for The Most Fucked Up Symbolism picture! Try to outdo SKU's occasional zaniness!

But, the symbolism has to be symbolic!  Not just pointless kook...

Whell then... it seems that S&M has just become a new category.... as well as X-Mas Symbolism

Categories Thus Far:

1. Group Pictures
2. Slash Pictures
3. etc-wankgirl/etc-wankdude-worthy Guys
4. etc-wankgirl/etc-wankdude-worthy Girls
5. Duelists in Suits (just to see how much Armani Gio can take...)
6. Holiday Themed Bondage
7. X-Mas Symbolism (How obscure can you get without being pointlessly random?)

As far as prizes... I dunno... due to the fact that this board was started by Gio & Yasha of Empty Movement fame, maybe the prize could be something like a custom Utena background, or if you have a website then maybe they could do the layout for you, or maybe a custom title under your username... it all depends on what Gio & Yasha are up do doing.

H-hey emot-frown What if we don't have time for big fancy prizes! emot-frown I'm working hard enough on a big special 10 year anniversary surprise. emot-mad

Maybe a custom title or layout...

As for the categories, are there really going to be so many submissions that you need seven? emot-aaa I'd remove the slash category, since it's kinda the same as shlick/fap-worthy characters. Duelists in Suits is also the same idea just aimed at Gio. emot-redface I'd say group and symbolism are going to end up the same batch of pictures, too...

Re: Tis the Season to do FANART!!! X-MAS UTENA FANART CONTEST!!!

why do we have to compete for a prize anyway? i love doing art for the sake of art...and not being bored! i think our prize is being here and sharing our rants woth people who will actually listen...and rant back.

plus it will make it much easier to run this if you dont have to worry about prizes.

what you should worry about is rules...

i say that because of who we are on this forum, the rules should be little to none, just dont take your pictures too far... cause theres bad..and then theres

BAD!

Maybe just change it to X-mas project or something.
I wouldn't care much about the prizes either, but it sure would be fun to take part in it!

What, you mean to say not everyone can produce art?  Like this masterpiece, an early draft of a Black Rose Saga card?

This was in no way copied line-for-line from a screenshot.  The bold strokes and startling originality mark this as the best Utena fanart EVAR.

Re: Tis the Season to do FANART!!! X-MAS UTENA FANART CONTEST!!!

How about very simple:

1. Single character
2. Group
3. Hotness

We don't need a holiday bondage category, since this is a holiday contest and it would just go under hotness.

Also, when's the deadline? Any ideas?

Re: Tis the Season to do FANART!!! X-MAS UTENA FANART CONTEST!!!

You know, I have an extra deck of the aforementioned Black Rose Saga cards (learn the whole story and see the cards here: http://forums.ohtori.nu/viewtopic.php?id=204).  The production value is not the highest, due to my limited then-college-student budget, but the game is really fun.  If we get plenty of fanart submissions I would be happy to donate the deck to a general prize fund.  Own a piece of anime club history!

I am not saying "not everyone can make art" but some can draw better then others, you cant its not true. thats why im saying not to word it as "good enough for public viewing" cause thats rude.

Well... yes, that is why I said that it's all depending on what you guys want to do... the prizes are based on how much you think you're capable of...

Also... agreement on the narrowing down of the categories...

But I do think we should keep the suits one... etc-love

So... here's the revised categories!

1. Group Pictures
2. etc-wankgirl/etc-wankdude-worthy Guys
3. etc-wankgirl/etc-wankdude-worthy Girls
4. Duelists in Suits

I think that this one encompasses what everyone wants to draw without going too specific...

If anyone wants to do slash or bondage or whatnot, put it in groups or the etc-wankgirl/etc-wankdude categories...

Re: Tis the Season to do FANART!!! X-MAS UTENA FANART CONTEST!!!

Dear god, just start drawing already! emot-mad

We'll go with the categories as hyacinth_black just posted them. Awards we'll figure out later. Maybe the winner can choose which character goes on the front page next update. emot-keke

Edit: Duelists in Suits kinda excludes certain members of the cast who are in fact welcome in the suit party. emot-keke Characters in Suits. No Chu-Chu.
