TO ALL ARTWORK SUBMITTERS

I'm hosting an art competition where artists submit their work to me and the winner will have their artwork featured on my new album coming out in May entitled "The Final Boss," a Rock, OST, Epic Boss Battle influenced EM album. Below are details into the project, how winners are selected, how artwork should be submitted, etc. If you have any questions, PM me and I will gladly answer your questions!

---------------------------------------------------

Thanks showing interest in this project, it means a lot that you would like to contribute like this. Anyway, the album (unless otherwise changed) will be entitled: The Final Boss (off of the star song from the album, Level 4: The Final Boss). I'm looking for epic, OST (original soundtrack) looking artwork of the sorts having to do with said theme. Below I've left a dragon concepts around what I'm looking for (pictures 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 10).

Another idea I had was having to do with epic (I know I'm going to say that a lot haha) looking scenery, hopefully with a boss of sorts somewhere in the scenery. I've left a few links to ideas for that.

The last idea I had for the album cover (other than dragons and scenery) was a Phoenix (similar to the previous logo you did, but of higher pixelated quality... I will get to that eventually). Phoenix colors are usually the nice red and orange, but I'm okay with ice blue as well. I left another link below:

All the links I provide are safe and secure sites.

I will be using CreateSpace, an Amazon run Album creator that requires a number of artwork images for parts of the album. Below is the exact criteria for the album. 

CD Files Image Size (Pixels) Max. File Size Outside Booklet 2925 x 1490 6MB Inside Booklet 2925 x 1490 6MB Front Tray Card 1820 x 1465 6MB Back Tray Card 1820 x 1465 6MB CD Disc Face 1417 x 1417 full bleed 2MB

Your artwork must be uploaded as a JPEG file in RGB color mode.

I know this is quite broad, I'm very open to changes and interpretation if done well. Dragons, scenery, and Phoenix's are not the only cool things out there; abstract ideas are always consonant. While rewards are unofficial, the sketch of it goes as this:

Album Cover: $125 - $150

The set date for the album release will be May 15th. I would like to have all the submissions in by May 7th and I will decide with a group of peers and release the decision on May 11th. And YES, of course you are allowed to get my opinion of sketches. While I realize that it is more of graphic imaging and less of actual painting or sculpting (I'm not too far into the vocabulary of the arts) I'm quite willing to see what you're getting into and give my opinion. 

If you have anymore questions, please let me know. If you get a chance, let your Arts friends know (although that may add some competition haha). Thanks again! I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hi Karyn, sorry I haven't been around to comment but I have been downloading your great uploads.  Wishing you and the family a lovely Christmas and not too much snow I hope!

Have a Wonderful Day My Sweet Friend,Love n Hugs!!

Hi Karyn, you are always welcome, I always enjoy your uploads.  Nice greetings too, as ever, thanks for that.  I have been unable to log in to DN since their problems.  I was logged in but when I tried to access my pms or post comments then the page just froze.  This has gone on for weeks and weeks. I will try again on the weekend. I accessed the wallpapers on another pc where I wasn't logged in so I have managed to bookmark weeks of uploads and it will take me forever to do the favs etc but I will do them as soon as I am able.

That was a nice gift that you had from James, (all those years of baking have had their reward).  Hope you are enjoying your job, you seem much happier now that you have moved.

Yes, it is winter here now but v pleasant.  Warm in the day and chilly at night.  It is a treat for me to wear sweaters etc.  We are both fine, leading the quiet life which suits us.  Hope to catch up with you soon, TC, love and hugs from your old friend Dee.

My mum's newest addition:

You're welcome! You have an kickass profile by the way, very similar tastes to mine.

Hi Karyn, I wondered if you were back at work.  Hope you are now feeling better than ever!!

If you mention that apple crisp one more time I will pop over there and brain you!!  It sounds so yummy!!  We have given up carbs more or less so thinking of delicious desserts is hard, especially at Easter.  If you have made fudge as well then that is it...!!!

I cooked a turkey on Friday so we will be eating it all week I suppose, luckily himself likes it.  We will have a nice lazy weekend with no visitors this year so we can please ourselves.  Hope your weekend is good and that you and the family relax and the cats enjoy their gifts!!
