Contest: Draw Me an Avatar! Win up to 5 SBD & My Eternal Gratitude

in contest •  7 years ago  (edited)

There are a lot of contests and competitions happening on Steemit. I rarely take part, but I do love these fun contests that help the really talented people stand out. With my recent decision to seek out a new profile photo for Steemit, I realized that I can simply HIRE one of the amazing talents here to do draw it for me.

Welcome to the most self-indulgent and narcissistic contest on Steemit! Draw me a new avatar, and get paid in SBD!

Me? Self absorbed? Nah...

The avatar I choose will receive 5 SBD, second favorite will get 2 SBD, and 1 SBD will be reserved for the funniest entry.

How to participate?

  1. Draw me an avatar! Full character, if possible, not just a face. Ask me in the comments if you have questions.
  2. Post it in a reply or create a post for it and be sure to link to it in a comment to this post.
  3. You will get an upvote on your entry (can't promise a percentage, but one will be given)
  4. In 7 days from today, I will post my selection and send the prizes to the winners.

How do I draw a techslut!?

Well, there are plenty of pictures of me on my Facebook profile. Like, copious amount of them. Or, just try and sketch a Steemian with pink hair, glasses, a cup of coffee and a mobile phone. That's me. :)

Share with anyone you think would be interested!

I need that yoo1900 voting power :O that it will transform into a fully rendered almost 3d/pixar style character :O haha

Ha! Well, I can't just summon whales! Goats at best!

This is so good!


Boah! Great!

This is what called - high level!

:O

Can't breathe now. OMG.

❤❤❤
Its so nice feeling when i see that you like it

Isn't it fun?! I think I might be hooked on challenges/contests :)

I would be, but I'd have to find more creative topics than, well, me!!!

Ha ha, you could do contests/challenges about you doing various things, like you under the sea or you as a mermaid all sorts :)

Hmm... I am going to be serializing a book on steemit so might have a challenge for people to draw the characters for it as they imagine them. That might work better. I am not THAT narcissistic. Almost, but not quite. :)

Hello and Happy new year for everyone!! here is my entry:

(pd: i have the full resolution img's and the psd. file)

Okay, THIS is... WOW! Thank you!!! Upvotes all around! :)

He he i'm glad you like it :D

I love it. And you got yourself a new follower, too. <3

OH Thanks for the support, I am grateful :)

Here is my entry.

I see I didn't pay attention and it is not a full body, but I did use a unicorn. That's because I saw you were wearing a unicorn shirt and I wanted to do it in my style. I almost always have an animal, real or imagined, in my artwork so I HAD to do you with a unicorn. Also I wanted to make it more a general person not look exactly like you, I hope that was also ok. Enjoy and here is the link to the post https://steemit.com/contest/@donnadavisart/contest-draw-me-an-avatar-my-entry

Dear Voting Power,

I am sorry for today.

xoxo
Ilana

But seriously now - WOW. Picking one just got really hard. Wow.

TechSlut.jpg

Whew! This picture came out a little dark, but if you like it, I can re-photograph it and up the colors! Hope you can find the avatar you're looking for. :)

That's amazing! Blown away yet again. Wow. So much talent on steemit!

sooooo @techslut I realise I'm too late, but I really liked where it was going and I was already almost finished when I realised you'd posted the winners already that I was like:
"fuck it. I'm finishing this."

So here is the steemit post:
https://steemit.com/art/@jillustrations/original-artwork-contest-entry-for-techslut-avatar

and here is what it looks like:
Untitled_Artwork_smaller.png

I admit, I went a tad overboard and it became more of an Illustration than an avatar drawing LOL
but I got really into it! especially the dragon! I don't draw dragons often.. and then I couldn't help myseeelf! It just kinda... happened. XD hahaha

sooo I guess now you have "an original Jill" for your collection XP

And to think I said I'd never do shit for free anymore.. sigh. ah well. what can you do if you fall in love with it while drawing? I wasn't just gonna abandon it.

hope you enjoy ;)
xx

I am in love with it. Had it been here yesterday, you would have gotten that 5 SBD. So no shit for free - the least I can do is give a chubby upvote. And this also totally merits a FOURTH challenge winner. :)

this was fun! :*

OMG yes!!! My ass is huuuugeeeee!!! :D

Do you have the source file?

:D I had to guess it, but I guessed that you have a magnificent ass :D
Of course I do! How can I email it to you?

ibrudo at the gmails.

And I can only WISH my ass was that spectacular. :D

:D :D :D :D

I do not know if I am late or not, but here is my entry.

Not late and damn impressive!!!

Thank you!

You could use this for the Mistress account.

That's a pretty great idea. I might just do that.

Pulled a late night to get this done, it was fun and I got super distracted with it XD
I hope you like it, I realise that you wanted an avatar but couldn't help but add the unicorn.

ok, wow. I love this one.

Enough so you won't give me a stern look when I blow a ton of money on prizes for this challenge? :P

Yes. I believe artists should be paid for their work.

here's my entry! :)

Fun contest! Here is my entry:

techslut-01.png

That's cute! I hate drawing hands too... :P

Also, why green shirt? You're not the first to think of green, which is actually one of my least favorite colors.

Well... I just thought green goes well with pink... Nothing more than that. It can be changed :D

Yes hands and feet are not my favourites.

Assumed as much. I think it clashes and opt for blues and purples. And pinks.

I can do faces rather well, but not hands.

Ha, ha I had purple for a while and changed. I love purple:)

Princess Leia style! :)

Great work, but... why so sad-looking?

What can you say about it

@OriginalWorks

No, hahahah she's smiling or maybe the coffee is hot. Hahaha just kidding ;) thanks miss @techslut hoping there will be another art contest from you. I can't do digital right now cuz my PC was broken so i did it on traditional art.

Yehey, she liked it :) im very happy @techslut

Here, something quick and a bit sloppy :P
If you like it, I can fix it.

Am I ghost?! Starry-eyed boxing ghost. Well, it's interesting! :D

Lol! You're not a ghost, I just suck at making legs... well, I suck in general, but I like to try occasionally :P

Hello, this is my drawing for the contest, I have done it by hand using colored pencils, a black marker and a pencil for drawing 3H. I hope you like it. Greetings.


Hey here is mine entry

My entry.... Hand drawing https://postimg.org/image/ybe2pikc5/

woot I am a Simpsons character! :D

Omg yesss! I love drawing people!! This'll be fun to do tomorrow
gotta sleep tho its 3am here, CANT WAIT!!!

Me neither!!! But yes. Sleep is important. The contest has 7 days to go so no worries.

What should the document size be @techslut? I do a lot of work in illustrator cs6.

The bigger the better, but at least big enough for a clear profile photo. AI means vector drawing. Yes please!

I'll probably be done in another day or so @techslut. ( º﹃º )

:bounces with excitement:

I should have listed a smile along with the coffee and mobile...

i will make you an avatar like mine! just working on it!!!

Awesome! Expecting it. :)

Is there anything like iconography, theme or favorite thing you'd want to incorporate into it?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

There's so much! I write, I love cats, unicorns, dragons and anything pink. I am a technology journalist with a love of innovation and gadgets (hence the name). I like scifi and fantasy, RPGs and boardgames. People also say that I tend to get excited about stuff in a cute way.

Pick whichever traits you like - it's up to your artistic inspiration.

Must say - I am having SO MUCH FUN with all the amazing artists contributing to this contest, that I can say for a fact that the itty bitty prize pool in this post will be at least doubled when it's time to pick the winners. But don't tell anyone. It's a secret. ;)

Well I can draw a pretty decent unicorn XD and pink colour palettes owwwwww, so much to go on this is gunna be fun!

:bounces with excitement:

Here you are, hot off the press

techslut.png

Indeed. I look very pressed here. Possibly with a steamroller.

Let's just have fun! :)

Happy new year may this year bring a lot of happiness and prosperity in your life.

great

I hate to be "that guy", but contests are much better fitted for the untalented tag. SteemGigs should be for freelancing requests and offers. Having multiple people working on something, then deciding who you will pay is not in the spirit of freelancing.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

You're right. Let's see if I can still edit that tag. Didn't see it that way.

Edit: Replaced tag. Thanks for pointing it out and sorry for the confusion!

Thank you very much for understanding. Keeping this tag clean is becoming a full time job 😁

At least this wasn't a color challenge post...

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Pink is a color! :P

I considered making it a gig, but wanted to give more people the chance to earn a bit more and show off creativity.

I understand completely. I've opted to do contests instead of gigs many times. Sometimes, it's just best to see what you can get rather than putting all your faith in one person.

@techslut uhmm is it okay if animated??

Yes!

Great idea! Oh, sorry, that I'm not an artist).

good, i like

Terbaik

Daaayuuummm! I'm almost done and my IpadPro just ran out of juice even though I was plugged in. wtf. I hope I still have a couple a hours! I'm really liking how it's turning out XD
Can't wait to show you. whoohoo~

aw damn. I just read that I'm late.
Damn these different timezones!

ill send my entry tomorrow. I hope you will like it 😊

Looking forward to it!

Oky I take this challenge but I have a question when I am drawing your face in Avatar costume then is it compulsory to put your glasses into the sketch??

Yeah, kinda is. :)

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

oky i have one more question paper sketching includes black and white sketch is it compulsory to put color's or not?

Anything goes!

thank you :-)

I like you post is very nice ..i wish you the best

Hello @techslut i want to join when is the deadline.

2 more days!!

Is it still time to draw an avatar for you ? Looks like you have a lot of entries

Nyohmahgawd I didn't realise the deadline for this was so soooooohhhn! panic attack
runs to the sketchpad
and I'm going to be on the way to Montreal essentially the entire next 2 days arrrrgh! SILLY ME
I will do what I can!
btw, I'm thinking f putting you on a dragon. Do you prefer Western style dragons or Asiatic dragons?

DON'T PANIC! Anything goes. And I didn't know dragons had "races". :P

So many amazing artists here, I am the one panicking. :)

haha it's not really a "race" per se, but the classic designs tend to vary depending on which culture the Dragon Story is from ;D
You'll be glad to know I'm currently on my way back to Montreal, and drawing like a maniac during layovers and flights LOL
quite enjoying this I have to say :D

Interesting story, very interesting 👍👍👍

OMG very nice .
@qami

hmmm..
you'd regret this one kidding :D

Happy New Year Comrade.

Here is my entry 😊

After the 3rd one these computer generated characters stopped being interesting.

aed56750e63ce9a250603a1fd9b718539476ae79_hq.jpg

It's literally a reskin of a the main character from a phone game called mystic messenger, simply right click the image and search google for image.
I think you should try making some original content rather than someone elses art but im no police though
copied source

I know... People seemed to have missed the instruction to DRAW an avatar, not use an online app to reskin an avatar. That I can do myself.
