The Basilmarket Art Challenge 3
A lot of people want to improve in art but they don't know where to start. I've taken some steps with a few professionals guiding me through the way, and it's been an extremely fun process. It's actually very simple. I name a themed challenge, and you draw it, you design it, in your own perspective, your own pose, your own colors, in your own understanding, any way you want.
There is no specified prize for this challenge. It's all for practice. But having the opportunity to see how other people interpret the theme in their own concept will be extremely beneficial.
As an added bonus, if you'd like, I'd be happy to provide a lengthy critique for you.
Feel free to add your deviantart if you'd like.
By the way, there is always a number of people who find it fun to submit works that are either not their own or works that are not serious in any way whatsoever, such as using MS paint to create a horribly distorted image that looks like it's drawn by a 6 year old. These images will not count in the Entries list, only images that seem like a decent amount of effort was put into it. You may post these troll images for your own satisfaction, but I will ignore it.
[b]The Challenge:[/b]
Create your own Fire Magician. What kind of outfit will she or he wear? What kind of hair? How will you incorporate fire into the design? Be creative... drawing fire around a magician is an idea, but it's not great. Any magician can use fire. Try to draw a magician that ONLY uses fire, and nothing else. Maybe even a fire bender? No lightning though!

Simply post the comment here. You can make it colored or sketched, it doesn't matter how you draw it. I will edit this post to have all the entries. [b]Every time a new entry is made, I will be sure to link all participants so they will be notified in the "Quoted" button, so everyone can see everyone else's work.

@WorkOfArt: I've got a sketch submission I kept forgetting to convert into JPEG back at home if its alright to still stick it in the list.
Problem is I get home late, but is that okay?

Lots of submissions, great work everyone.
I did one myself, but school work and interviews caught up to me and I barely have enough time to even touch my tablet. Don't know if I'll ever finish this, it's not even 1/3 done, but hopefully I'll find the time.

Here are the entries so far.
Lots of unique entries. Some are really awesome and creative!
11 days left, plenty of time for anyone who still wants to participate. I think I'll participate too, it's been a while since I've drawn anything worth noting.
By the way, (group on DeviantArt) is doing a challenge where you need to combine two or more animals/human to create a final boss monster. It could be a real change for a lot of artists here, especially those (like me) who focus more on humans. The prize? Well, there is no prize, but you do get your art critiqued by an extremely professional artist (if you're online at the time), and you get a lot of feedback from other professionals.
@WorkOfArt, [url=http://knighthead.deviantart.com/art/Fire-Mage-352118143]here's my entry.[/url]
@Reserving. Should be up before 5PM CST.
[url=http://aeror404.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/oshisu.jpg]My magicians Ardent and Febrile.[/url]
I even wrote a bio on them too, well more like what they'd be like if I used them in my game concept. Still sticking to the theme that my first two entries had, so.

You can do whatever you want to create your art work. It can be a photomanipulation (I will tag it as such), it can be a drawing. I'll probably ignore MS paint jobs though. As I see it, if someone isn't willing to spend 2 minutes installing GIMP or Paint.net, then that person is not serious about participating in this at all.[/quote]
My secretary was done in MSPaint..
Good thing I turned on SAI just before reading this.

Or, you can draw it on paper, take a picture, and post it. Or use a program that gives smooth linearts regardless of what medium you're using, mousepad or not. There's plenty of free ones out there.[/quote]
woah i just read what i posted and i'm sorry. my bipolar disorder made it seem like a personal attack and i was really hurt. my drawings by hand look a lot worse so i used paint for it to seem somewhat decent-looking.

wow. i took this thing seriously and you disqualify it based on the medium and your own judgment of what's considered "art." i'm sorry i don't have a tablet or other fancy programs because i don't draw often. my lines were hella clean for someone who's using a laptop's mousepad to draw. i could argue that some accepted submissions look "horribly distorted" and "drawn like a 6 year old" but lol. ok. thanks for ruining my hopes of becoming a children's book artist. now back to your pedestal.
Didn't manage to make one for the second challenge, so I'll make one for the third.
I cheated a bit and drew my OC, [url=http://i.imgur.com/zOewalp.png]Phoenix[/url].
Thought it would fit considering she uses fire. Do I find her as a magician? Eh... not sure

I'm 2/3 done with the sketch of the body. Now I just need to finish the body, add fire and I'm done <3
@Rationale: No I paint with my feces.
Wow they really are so funny I can't believe how clever some people are.

Damn, everyone's so quick to getting here.
Edit: [url=http://i.imgur.com/0jFwCYt.jpg]Hey, you didn't specify if it had to be human or not..[/url] Besides, I gave up drawing people entirely after my first few attempts...
Will update soon with coloooooooooooor.
Update 2/9/13: Still not done, but it's in progress. [url=http://i.imgur.com/NywGHZi.jpg]Hopefully before the deadline too.[/url] Finished most of it by now but I'll leave this here.
2/12/13: Sai keeps crashing on me..
I'll probably not finish it up I guess.

@Quazel
Heh we usually get 3 or 4 posts of PS paint drawings made by people who think they're funny and original. In due time we'll have a good number of people participating, and it's a great experience to everyone who does, speaking from personal experience.

First post = Actually has detail.
All the other posts = Troll and crap.
I want to participate :o
I was going to participate, then I saw the submissions.
I was going to do a charcoal and conte crayon of Paula Dean. I'll come back to this when I'm done and just call it a fire mage.
EDIT: Hm... [URL=http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/4417/image1359273136342538.jpg]If I was more awake, I'd redo it so the flames look okay, and the flames on the dress look okay, then she can finally be a match... maker. Hehehe.[/URL]
