Character Paint Competition
All entries must be posted by Friday, 24 Jun 05. Judging will be completed by Tuesday, 28 Jun 05. Entries into this competition will automatically be entered in the June Best Paint Competition.
This competition is the Character Paint competition. As the name implies, this involves the use of painted characters.
Entries will be judged upon the following criterion:
1) Design: How well does the design fit/flow on the body? Is it visually appealing? How are the color choices? Originality does not count, but naturally something that every painter has done will not score as high as something unique and new.
2) Execution: Regardless of how complex or difficult it is, how well is it executed? Are there paint bleeds? Are the lines straight (or correctly curved)? Are their obvious mistakes? Fingerprints in the paint? How well executed are the fades and other basic painting techniques? etc.
3) Difficulty: How hard was this body to paint? Is it one color? Is the entire thing 5mm checkers with 4 different colors in each square? Are the mask lines through difficult areas of the body (i.e., wing mounts or stadium truck beds)? It may be 2 colors, but is one marbled? Is one color a candy that requires a special backing technique? This is where experience as a painter helps the most.
The photo and background will not be judged but a clean, well-lit photo that clearly shows the body is needed. To often there are muddy, poorly lit pictures that limit the cars chances of winning. Keep in mind that a better picture will attract more attention for the People Choice.
General Rules:
1) Any Car may be submitted to the competition (Truck, buggy, touring car, etc).
2) Any Car submitted may NOT appear in another competition.
3) Photo editing the pictures (other than cropping and adjusting brightness/contrast) is discouraged and may result in disqualification.
4) Anyone may enter a body (professional painters and Modelers are welcome!)
5) Insulting bodies in anyway will not be tolerated.
6) Must fall within the restrictions listed below.
7) Only 1 entree per person.
8) Cars must be painted within the last 6 months.
9) Imagination is key
Special Restrictions:
1. The main graphic must include a character. This character can be a head, a full body, etc.
2. The character can be a caricature, superhero, My Little Pony, Woody Wood Pecker, or even a portrait, just as long as it's a character.
3. All entries would automatically be included in the end of month competition.
4. I'll select an impartial judge for the competition.
5. Four pictures allowed per entry. Of these, at least one must be a pre-painted pic (no paint on it yet). The pre-painted pic can be of the body prepped for paint, but can have no paint on the shell and must be of the body to be painted. Failure to provide this pic will result in disqualification. Note: Providing a pre-painted pic of a Mazda 6 body and a painted body of a Stratus body will result in disqualification.
Each submission must include the following:
Body manufacturer and size.
Paint used.
Masks used (hand or precut)
A car underneath the body is preferred.
A judge will be announced within the next few days for this competition. If a judge is not found by mid month, I’ll do the judging.
The contestants are: RespirologyRC, Seb, AirBoston, 3tc Graphx, CharlieB, Mproy and Blacktiger.
Others wishing to enter are highly encouraged to participate. However, one point will be duducted from their overall score for entering late.
Let's get to painting!!!
