There's lots and lots of graphic contests...have we traditional artists been forgotten? :laugh I'm just joking~ But a contest for traditional art would be awesome :yes
|
^Ikr? XD Come on, AHS throw us a bone. Do we need to sign a petition or do a head count of everyone that most certainly WILL participate in such a contest? :laugh (although... that is what this thread is kinda for... XD We need more votes!).
|
^ Lol, our peeps will sign our petition, yes? :^D C'mon, 42 more people!!! Graphic artists are beating us!! :laugh
|
I think we would need permission from the mods to do that sort of thing, lol. I seriously would start a thread like that though. XD
|
^ Lol, it would be awesome! :D
|
All of these contests are creative ones... what about contests that are based more on knowledge of ayu? She's got a huge body of work, it would be a fun challenge, I think, and the results would arguably be more fair because answers can be verified. Boajjang, for example, has done song and PV identification contests - it would be impossible to google the answers, but they're 100% easy to verify.
Any thoughts on doing something like that? |
ooo like have part of a screencap from a PV but that's really hard to tell what it's from
or a small riff from a song? I think that would be fun... |
Exactly! The BoA contest was REALLY hard, and really fun... the PV screencaps all had a photoshop filter or two applied to them so even if you knew the PV you might have a hard time IDing it. It was REALLY cool.
And there was one tori amos fansite game back in the day... well two that were really interesting. One was one called the tori Puzzle Box, where tons of items that were references to Tori song titles were in a box, and you had to guess the song reference. For example, a paper envelope with a tornado on it labeled "just add water", which also had a photo of actress Tallulah Bankhead on it. That was "Talula (the tornado mix)", get it? XD The other one was a sound clip game - every week there were three tiny TINY (like one or two notes) clips of tori's songs and people would guess what the songs were. It was challenging, but if you really knew the songs well it was totally doable! But only one or two people would get all three of them right each week, so it was certainly a challenge. I got them all right 3 or 4 times. But if AHS had a similar setup, with like clips of 10 to 30 songs, it could really be challenging and fun. ^_^ |

Plus, count my vote. Drawing art? I'd be in it to win it. |
Actually I would love to see an ayu portrait traditonal medium contest
|
@Delirium-Zero: Great point you bought up. A trivia/brain teaser contest is definitely needed to balance things out. :yes Plus, they are quite fun mostly because more people can participate. hehe

lilchan's comment gave me an idea too, if there were a Drawing Contest I think separate categories would be needed. One for portrait, manga/anime, and a straight freestyle... all traditional and all the artists would be able to enter one or all of the categories if they wanted. The only obstacle though is not only how many would be willing to participate but how many are actually able to when it's all said and done. Before going through the trouble of creating rules/graphics/deadlines/etc. I wanna know if we'll have a decent competition first. I think we'll need at least 10-15 participants to make this work... or it can just be me, you, and Captain K in a 'vicious' three-way showdown (which I'm actually OK with) LOL. |

^I WOULD ENTER! *flexes fingers*
manga style seems cute<3 |
Quote:
..probably not, but it'd be so fun to draw competitively again~ And to see everyone else's drawings would be so fun :yes |
^^Awesome! So that's four people... 6 to go, lol.

I'm *pretty* sure I can manage with the graphics myself unless I'm feeling extremely lazy (:roflmao) but I'll need help with coming up with the rules like if PS can be used... don't want any misunderstandings or ill will towards the winners. Also, will need help with advertising and calculating how voting will be done. |
^ Well I can help with ideas if you need them, just ask :yes I can say the AHS Awards have gone pretty smoothly considering the many votes, so I'm sure I can be of some assistance :laugh Drawing is my passion, I'd be honoured to be able to take part. <3
|
Same here!!! I love drawing...I'd love to help in any way I can!!! :heart
|
I can just imagine it...I would just need it to be grayscale.
I was working with oil pastels today, and after an hour, I had to rip my work in half literally because I hated it. I don't see anything wrong with PS just as long as it isn't used explicitly(just to brighten/darken the scan), because I know scanners don't always scan well. shoot, I am getting too excited for this. |
^No, it's good you're excited! XD You have a good point there. I was thinking of ruling out PS completely but I think as long as it's used to correct/polish a scan, it should be fine.
Thanks for offering all the help guys! Because I'm sure I'm gonna need it, lol. I'm not sure what to do about Drawing Tablet users though since technically they are drawing by hand but not with a traditional media plus they have to use drawing software... what do you guys think? |
karaoke japanese,photography, video ,writing fan fiction, writing poetry lyrics, other : drawing

I wanted to hold an Unofficial Jpop Karaoke Contest, since it doesn't pertain to Ayu, we'd have to do it...
I'm sure people would enter, judging by the amount of submissions we had for the Ayu one, and who actually entered. I was surprised that the "ayu-contest-only" members didn't outnumber the active members. |
Quote:
:yes I like that idea a lot. That would also solve the PS/drawing software problem as well. Glad I have your help. :D |

I don't think it would be fair, since you could just have your reference pic as a bottom layer and paint right on top(and theres no way to disprove it). and they have the advantage of always having the perfect color match with eyedropper tool. |
I'd LOVE a pencil drawing contest. I haven't drawn Ayu in a long time, but if I had a reason to, I'm sure I could do it :)
|
^So you would be interested in our little non-official contest? :D Yay!
Quote:
Thinking about creating the interest thread sometime this week probably after L releases and we get the PV's because everyone will be focused on that. Any more things y'all think should be addressed? |
^ Maybe....what mediums should we be able to use? Pencil, coloured pencil, ink, paint...etc? ^^
(I myself would only do drawing in black & white pencil ^^) |
I think it should either be drawing or painting... drawing would allow things like pencil, charcoal, pastels, colored pencil, crayons, pen & ink, etc. Painting would allow watercolor, oil, acrylic, poster paints :P whatever. (if someone wanted to use ink in conjunction with any paints, that'd be ok too ^^)
I'd love to see what people came up with... someone doing really creative art & mixing media would just be awesome. |
/bias
Bring back the tournament! /unbias |

I would love to see an acoustic orchestra remix contest. I wouldn't participate but I would love to listen to the entries.
|
^I WOULD LOVE THAT!
ANYTHING WITH STRINGS AND PIANO, I'LL DEFINITELY LOVE. |
Quote:
about the others manga cause i'm good at drawing and food..writing too but i don't feel like writing no more |
I think a remix mashup would be fun... or the manga one.
|
I would say an poem lyrics contest or something with writing.
Or something like, desigh an Ayu tshirt or AHS t shirt. other options i like: -fictional Single/Album -Design a collectible maybe some more, but i can't think of more |

mashup contest! haha
|
I would loooove an art or drawing contest
|
Art/graphic design: electronic media [e.g. photoshop]
Art/graphic design: traditional media [e.g. drawing, painting, sculpture, etc] Photography I'd like to partecipate at one of these :D writing ones are cool too, but my english sucks lol. |
Writing: Essey or Poetry and Lyrics
I'm mainly bad at everything, but I love to write, even though I suck at it x) |
maybe we could divide the remix contest into 2: classical and other mixes.. that would be easier for those who don't know how to make classical mixes and vice versa^^
|
^that'd be nice, provided there were more than 1 or 2 orchestral mixes per year :/
[edit] but if there were more orchestal remixes, not only would i be a very happy person, I don't think it'd be a bad idea to give them thier own contest. |
