-Edit-
Only 10 days left. Please let me know if you've started working on an entry, otherwise I will assume it's a #failcontest and close it. (and attempt to be awesome and make my own..) *sob*
-End of edit-
Lets get right down to it. My page currently looks like a disaster! So to remedy this problem, I'd like YOU to help me make my page a lot more presentable.
I would like my entire page totally redesigned into a Steampunk Theme. This includes a DA ID OR a DA Journal skin (installable), My entire DA Page, and my DA Gallery.
There are so many different things associated with Steampunk. Google is your friend, but please do not use images you searched for, in this competition, unless you have permission from the owner of the images to do so....
Rules!
Your job is to create the following:
1 x DeviantArt ID reflecting a larger version of Astarsia's Avatar in Steampunk style (This must be done either Traditional Art style or Digital Art style) OR 1 x Complete Design of Astarsia's Journal Skin in Steampunk style. (one or the other)
1 x Complete Design of Astarsia's DeviantArt Page in Steampunk style.
1 x Complete Design of Astarsia's Gallery Page in Steampunk style.
All items must keep to a similar colour scheme and theme. (in other words, each has to match the other!)- Only use Images from DeviantArt's Stock and Resources gallery - ensuring you follow each Stock Artist's rules.
You MAY team up with another person - however... this will mean that you both share the prize.- All CSS/Coding must be provided so I do not need to edit any of it (because this confuses me) along with detailed instructions. I will be testing each entry to ensure that it is clear, concise and looks perfect!
- Any information required for customization details are available on request. (so please ask!)
- None of my art is to be used without my prior consent!
- Be Creative and Original!
Specifics!
So you're ready to start but you ask yourself "What does Astarsia want?"... Great Question! I've seen a few tricks people have on their website, and many times I've thought "hmm, yes, I think that would work"... So let's break it down.Journal:
DeviantArt ID:
Here is my Avatar:I do not want an animated ID. Just a Steampunk Themed version of my avatar. Goggles on the head, the star made out of some brass type metal, with studs on it, Leather Jacket, frilly skirt. The options are endless. I'm not going to tell you what exactly I want drawn. That's up to you.
How you do the ID is endless. I said Traditional or Digital. With traditional, this could mean mixed media, painting, oil, a sketch, prismas, anything. With digital, you have quite a spectrum. Vector, pixel, 3D, photomanipulation (i can provide a picture of my face in a high res, if desired), drawing or painting, text art, and so on and so forth...
This does not have to specifically match each part of the contest sections, but it does need to suit it, and not look terribly out of place.
Gallery:
Please create a theme for my gallery and each folder.Here are the folders I created, in order:
- Manuscripts
- DigitalArt Drawing Painting
- Photography
- Photomanipulations
- All Traditional Art
- Literature
Also... I like uniformity.
Here are some examples of the basic set up (not the graphics) that I enjoy, but you are not limited to...
(more to be added later)
