There’s a size maximum… wonder if there’s any minimum (referring more to digital entries)? If it’s done in vector art, no problem, but if its done like an 800×600 72dpi raster pic, it’s not gonna print well in any size bigger than a card. Also, no mention of multiple entries =) Cool contest tho!
confused on the size spec, is that 2 inches by 2 inches?!?!
Also emails are being bounced back from the supplied address.
2’= 2 feet; fixed the mail address..it works now. Thanks!! For digital entries, the resolution should be high enough for it to look good when printed.
Hey there. I need an excuse to draw some dragons and this looks like a perfect fit. It doesn’t mention if you can enter a whole bunch of times. Can you enter a whole bunch of times? Is it a “more the merrier” kind of thing?
Let’s see, umm, I’ve got a painting of a dragon that ‘ate’ a knight. Is that okay? No, seriously… He’s pretty chubby in the belly department. Really, I’ll send it to you guys if you don’t believe me.
Chubby belly is good…especially for a big dragon!
Some really great art is underway! Keep it coming!
does the dragon HAVE to be eating the knight…or can the knight win in some way too
I Have the same question as go hero, can the dragon do something else, a frame before he eats the knight or something?
can the knight be eathing the dragon as well – as an m.c.escher -esque/dog-eating its own tail sort of motif?
The dragon does NOT have to be eating the knight… think of it more as dragon vs. knight – a classic instance of “evil” vs. “good”.
