Hey there, graphic makers and traditional artists!

We've started planning this year's Return of the Rings and of course we simply cannot pass by the Art contests.
We already brainstormed some ideas about them. We'd like to host 4 contests:
- chapters of LotR
- races of Middle-Earth
- poster contest
- traditional art
Of course each contest consists of few rounds.
Are you interested in helping out with the FanArt contests? Would you like to make a suggestion about a topic for a contest? What the traditional contest should be about - a scenery or portrait of a favourite character? Feel free to join our discussion.


Don't know what RotR is? Want to be part of the organisation? Want to share your ideas for the event? Then click here to visit RotR's Planning&Discussion thread:click here

I'd love to compete and take part

One question re- traditional art, do you mean traditional in the literal sense that the art must be made with pen/ pencil/ paint etc or would Digital art made from scratch completely on photoshop/ painter with a tablet and digital brushes be acceptable too?

I love the idea of a favourite character contest, but I think it would be interesting to mix it up a bit by depicting your favourite as you imagined them when you read the book or a general non!PJ version of the character, as it's quite easy to copy a promo image or use a screencap. Either that or it could be a picture of an alternate version of the character like if they were good instead of evil and vice versa, or your favourite character in a different time period. Heheheh I'm so full of ideas!! I haven't done traditional art in ages gah!

I like the idea for the other contests too, though if anyone ends up
with the Tom Bombadil chapters they've got a tough job

And I'm up for helping out and competing too

Thanks for your enthusiasm, Lembas!



Well, I think this mainly depends on the participants - what kind of resources they have on disposal. I, personally would be interested to see some Digital Art made with Photoshop/tablet.
