Announcement! 2009 2-Bit Fan Art Challenge (Deadline 9/25/09)

[RandomXv]

Can i still send you artwork regardless.

[kainkusanagi]

If you want to, but you really should just wait until next summer and enter into next years challenge.

[Blackboarder77]

When will the video be put up? I'm rather excited to see everyone's fanart.

[kainkusanagi]

October some time, probably.

[CASSdaguy]

D'OH! I missed the deadline, but I did make something :S maybe there will be some other sort of competition in the future

[kainkusanagi]

Well, it's not a competition. If you send it in I might have time to fit you in, but I can't promise anything.

[sweden0wns]

Man, I can't wait for this!

Also, the arts I sent in (I'm DJGrandPa) is from Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World if that'll be helping.

[DisgaeaWare]

Hey Kain how many entries can you have? I done a Demons Souls Fanart i'll send it in shortly... :P

[kainkusanagi]

Send me as many as you want and I'll use as many as I can.

[mikuhatsunevocal]

14 more days

[kainkusanagi]

Till the deadline. I don't have a date for when the Challenge will be released.

[nemesis274]

a design that is 8 bit esque would look kinda nice.

[retrogamer717]

can you do something like banksy, but with video game companies, cause thats what i sort of do

[kainkusanagi]

I don't know what "banksy" is.

[retrogamer717]

banksy is a british street aritist, quite famous. what i wanted to do was get the game compony logos and change them to suit there personalitys. is that cassifid as fan art and can i enter it

[kainkusanagi]

Oh, I've see that guy's stuff before. He has some cool graffiti. I definitely count graffiti as art, but I don't want you doing anything illegal. I'll just assume anything you send me you had permission to paint. I've already received and accepted an N64 logo fan art so what ever you have in mind will most likely be fine. Looking forward to seeing it.

[DDRpwnerer]

I'll get working on a new remix. I sent one in as "VKTRFRY" last year, I believe I sent a Shenmue remix and Donkey Kong Country one as well.

I've improved a lot, I just hope I'll get the chance to actually finish one. haha.

[BarrytheSuperScot]

Panzer Dragoon Saga fanart!

Nice.

I will never ever ever sell that game.

[Blackboarder77]

I'll make something digitally...

[g1Chase357]

I had so much fun doing this last year.

I'm going for it again this year!

[ASecondOpinion1501]

Awesome! I might have to see if I can get anything down worth submitting in the next month. ;)

I loved last year's fanart challenge and I can't wait to see everyone's creations this year. :)

[MelRains]

Yay, it's fanart time again! I'll definitely be sunmitting some more stuff this year.

[wcpapie]

cant wait

[HaruhiIzumi]

I am so submitting! I can't wait to see everyone's awesome fan art!

[Disthron]

Can it be from a game you created yourself as a hobeist game creator?

[kainkusanagi]

Yes, if it's a fan game based on video game. For example, I made a Halo fan game in the style of a Gameboy game. Since it's based on Halo I'd accept it.

If it meets the guidelines record some video of your favorite parts and send it to me.

[Disthron]

Aw, my game has all original charecters.

[kainkusanagi]

Fan art means it's made by a fan. I'm not sure if it's possible to be a fan of your own game :)

[Disthron]

Well, I don't know about you. But I'm a fan of my game.

[kainkusanagi]

lol, I guess you could say that :)

Although any art you do of it would be official like a Zelda poster in a Nintendo Power magazine.

[Disthron]

I supose, if you wont to look at it that way.

[Disthron]

Sorry, that might of come off as sinical. I guess I just never thought of anything I made for my hobby as "official". anyway. good luck with the challange.

[kainkusanagi]

This challenge is really about taking a retail game and making art based on it. If you have anything like that I'd love to see you submit it.

[Vkmies]

Man.. I would do a wooden triforce, but that takes too much time...

Maybe i'll submit some of my music vids, if i can...

Do you accept it?

[kainkusanagi]

If you created the music or animation/video yourself.

For example I wouldn't accept my Halo/Cortana music video because did was edit game footage to a song by Marie Digby.

[Vkmies]

How about a song mash made from a bunch of 8-bit music?

[kainkusanagi]

Yep, remixes are great.

[DisgaeaWare]

YES I LOVED LAST YEAR!!! One Piece Fan Art FTW!
