Fang Fetish Awards’ Banner Challenge: Calling all artists interested in becoming part of our team!
*bounces excitedly*
Hi everyone! athenewolfe and I, raemcn, are looking for artists who would like to join the Fang Fetish Awards Team and create gorgeous award banners. We decided the best way to do this would be by holding an art challenge. Come on, you know you want to show us your amazing talent.
The top two or three winners of this challenge will become part of our art team which is run by two of the most talented ladies in the fandom, kargrif and edgehead73.
Below are the criteria to follow for the challenge and under the cut, just so you know exactly what you are signing up for, is an explanation of an artist’s duties at Fang along with examples of some of the awards we’ve given out in the past. Remember this challenge should only be done by those who are seriously interested in being taken over and indoctrinated into the Fang Fetish way of life, which includes lots of silliness mixed with working on things we all already love to do.
Show us what kind of awards you would make for our winners and runners up by creating a winner award banner for each of these three prompts. You have until December 31st, so get to work!
Disclaimer: None of these fic prompts below are real. I just made them up.
Prompt 1:
Category: Best Gen Fic
Winner: The General by Me (Potential Slayers and Buffy centric) Summary of fic: What the potentials really think about their commander and chief.
Prompt 2:
Category: Unique Universe (crossovers)
Winner: Frick! That Thing Bites by Me (x-over w/Scrubs, Spike/Elliot) Summary of fic: Elliot Reid finds out that not all patients are of the human variety.
Prompt 3:
Category: Vampiric Best Dark
Winner: Blood Flows Freely by Me (Xander/Angelus/Drusilla) Summary of fic: Can Xander’s mind and body withstand being captured and held prisoner by half of the Scourge of Europe?
Hopefully these have gotten your creative juices flowing, so run with it and show us what you’ve got! Create the best award banners you can using all three prompts, not just one, and post them on fangfetish with the header Fang Artists Challenge. They will be judged by our art mods and us to find the winners of a spot on our artist team.
Now for the exciting explanation of all things Fang Fetish art related.
Most important is that you have the time and want to participate in each round. You would need time to be able to collaborate with kargrif, edgehead73, and the other artists on what categories each of you would like to make awards for, and of course, the fonts/styles you all would be using to make awards for that particular round. It is never fair to the others on your team to be a no show without giving notice. We have a large amount of categories! We completely understand when something happens in RL that would keep you from helping, but please inform us immediately of this so that we can help in anyway possible to ease the other team members’ burden.
At Fang we take pride in announcing on time with the dates we have posted and the uniqueness of each award. All award banners are made pairing/character and category specific. We believe it gives the authors a boost to be presented an award that fits the fic they’ve written and isn’t just made with any character from Btvs/Ats on it. We do everything in gmail spreadsheets that are shared to our artists so that as soon as we have a winner and runner up for a category it is placed on this spreadsheet with the characters of the fic. It helps to allow artists more time to make awards as well as know what characters should be on the award base.
Here are some examples of past awards:
We would love for you to join our awards family! Remember, do not do this challenge unless you know you can and want to be a part of Fang Fetish Awards and to post your entries to fangfetish with the header Fang Artists Challenge. All submissions must be in by December 31st! Don’t forget.
Thank you from the owners,
