Background: I played guild wars 2 for about a year when it released. Mainly WvW and then just playing the market in the game. As a result I ended up with a lot of money. I kinda lost interest in the game. But still retained the Gold I had which is a huge amount. So as a way to get rid of some of it. And get something out of it I wanted to set up an art contest to see the talent of artist this game community has to offer.
Rules:
1. I will judge the images to determine the winner of the contest according to my taste.
2. Only human characters are allowed.
3. Lineart or full color are acceptable entries. (I’m more concerned with lineart and detail than with color)
4. I will only consider serious entries. No stick figures. (Also no chibis)
5. No backgrounds
Things that I will be looking for:
1. I will be looking for detail.
2. Creativity (Characters need not be based on the game.)
3. Pose: I want the characters to do something interesting. Either an action like attacking with a weapon. Or casting some sort of power, etc. What I don’t like is just a character standing up with static limbs.
4. Play to your strengths. Don’t do something you are not comfortable with.
5. The characters should be based on medieval fantasy just like the game. No modern soldiers for example.
6. Submissions need to be something created specifically for this contest. I want to see something new.
Prizes:
1. First place prize will be 200g
2. Second place prize will be 150g
3. Third place prize will be 100g
4. Everyone else that submitted a valid entry will get at least 10g
5. If you did not rank 1st, 2nd or 3rd I may still increase the prize you get if there is enough quality entries.

This is the first time I do a contest so if you have any suggestions you can also either pm me or post bellow.
Questions: If you have any questions please post them bellow and I will update this page with a reply.
Clarifications: I’m not expecting any professional level. I’m actually only concerned with lineart. But I won’t stop people from doing more.
I do not take any ownership of the art that you put in the contest.
Let me know if you plan to participate so I can gauge interest
Edit: I decided that based on what commissions were going for I should increase the prizes to get more people interested. So I doubled the prizes.
