The August Random Artwork Challenge

Hello citizens of the Fan Art forum and onlookers from the Aeria Forums.

A while ago I ran Fan Art competitions to increase Artwork postings in the forums and its fantastic to see more and more appearing, and thus I want to offer the same opportunity to all the fan art/art creators =)

To Explain this challenge further below you will find a challenge rotator displaying a random word, This word is your challenge :geek: Its up to you to decide what this word means regarding to the challenge. Idea is to enable ourselves to not only be able to meet the challenges presented to us in requests but explore our own skills with our chosen programs.




*** If this challenge is successful I will aim to produce a new random challenge each month ***

Aim: To Create a piece of artwork using the Render given BUT in the randomly picked style/challenge given by our challenge Rotator.

I will be offering prizes to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners presented by 31st of August 2011

When you have completed your Challenge artwork, post it here with a Screen Shot of your Layers, and name your piece =D

For those of you who prefer pen/cil and paper to the computer... or maybe both!! you may enter as well^^ as long as you have the lady from the render and create a piece based on your random word.

Also when posting, include a photograph of you holding your original piece instead of layers =) (can just be your hand, or all of you )

Example:
