$30 Illustration/Character Design contest! Ending on Sunday!

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Deidredup, Dec 18, 2008.

    A few days ago, I started a contest over here:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1147451

    I have some extra ideas and requirements I want to add, and I've also increased the prize money, so decided to close the other contest and re-open it here, so I won't confuse anyone.

    People who have already entered in the other thread, please make your modifications to your design and post it here as the other one is now closed!

    Prize Money: $30
    Contest Ends: Sunday, 21st December

    I need a funky Illustration of a girl with a pink car. Please make it glossy, as I don't want it to look like an image from a coloring book!

    Regarding the girl:
    I don't just want an ordinary girl who looks like she's just standing next to a car in a parking lot. The girl needs to be funky and blend in with the car nicely. She must have long blonde hair and must look like a real blonde (she is after all driving a pink car!) Think of Legally Blonde or Sharpay from High School Musical. I want something vibrant, cute with a sexy touch to it. Here's some images you can use as inspiration: www.deidredup.com/ideas/
    She needs to look like a college girl, so be creative… you can put books in her hand… or one of those legally blonde furry pens… or whatever. Just be creative, I don't want something ordinary. The girl's face must look like the girl in this picture:
    http://s537.photobucket.com/albums/ff337/Deidredup/?action=view&current=1.png
    (Pay special attention to the girl's cheeks). See if it's possible that the girl is dressed in pink… if it looks okay with the pink car… otherwise use something else that will blend in nicely.

    Regarding the car:

    The car needs to be pink! I would love it if it is a Mini-Cooper convertible or a Pink Cadillac (one of those classics that comes out of Elvis's days), but if you're not able to make those, it will be okay if it's a different car. Just as long as it is pink, and has a girly shape!

    Contest Rules:
    Everything must be your own work and 100% unique, don't use images you found on the internet.
    I will accept NO entries via PM. All entries must be posted here… if you are sure yours are unique, I can't see why it would be a problem.
    If you send me one through PM, I will post your entry here myself without asking you.
    If you win, you'll be required to give me the Psd's/AI files or whatever else you used!

    I will be posting soon, I'm just literally swamped with illustration jobs at the moment so you'll have to bear with me. I WILL get it in on time though, i'm hoping to do so tomorrow.

    Okay, I went for a completely different style this time. Hope it's what you are looking for. Feedback appreciated, do you want more jewellery or anything? Also, is there an image of the kind of "glossy" look you want for the car I can take a peek at?

    [​IMG]


    EDIT: Changed the image slightly to outline the nose and the base of the cheeks to emphasize these features.

    Sorukayde. That's absolutely stunning! Looks soooo much better than your previous entry! Good Job. No extra gloss to your car is needed, it looks fine that way! The only problem I have is with the smile... can you make that look a little nicer? A bit more friendly in a way?

    Okay is this one better? I'm glad you like this one, it's one of my favourite styles to do anyway.

    EDIT: altered nose and position of mouth to fit better. (was a bit low oops!)

    EDIT2: shaded knee area as requested

    Yup! That looks fine thanks! Love the style!

    Just another thing I noticed: It doesn't look like she has any knees... it makes her legs look twisted in a way. Any chance you can do something to it please?

    hey, i edited my above post with the new picture. I shaded the knees into the picture so hopefully they have more form now.

    Hi there! Here's now the revised design of mine. I provided two where the tie and shoes have different color for comparison which look best. Cheers!
