Welcome to Artists of Alacrity!
Who We Are:
AoA is a group for all deviantART users who are also members of Alacritysim.com! We welcome all Alacrity users, from regular members to official Site Artists and other staff members, past and present. :)
It's that time of year, folks! Spring is in the air, and so is everyone's love of bunnies, baby animals, and candy. With the Spring Equinox happening at the end of March and Easter festivities coming up in April, let's continue Alacrity's Big Spring here on AoA!
This month's challenge is Spring/Easter decor. Pastels! Eggs! Bunnies! We want to see your animals dressed up in the season's finest! Here's some of the ways you can enter:
Photography: Capture your best furry friend(s) in the moment! Set the scene and get them dolled up in their best easter bunny impression (but be sure to keep them away from the candy)!
Photo manipulation: Having trouble rounding up those pastel-coloured chicks? Models being uncooperative? Why not use your artistic skills to make it look like it all worked out anyway! *Please be sure to only use your own photos or photos & images that fall under the appropriate Creative Commons license.
Drawing: Let your creativity flow through your pencil (mouse, or tablet pen)! Draw your favourite animal friend or Alacrity dog in a picturesque seasonal scene straight from your imagination.
Alacrity: Not particularly artistic? Don't worry, you're not left out! Your creative spirit can still shine here. Grab your favourite Alacrity dog and decorate away! Use items on the site to get the scene of your dreams just right. *Save the dog's image when you're done, and submit it to your Scraps here on dA. Be sure to note in your artist comments that the art belongs to Alacrity!
Rules & Guidelines:
Keep your entries on theme! Bunnies, chicks, ducklings, eggs, pretty colours.. you know the drill.
You may submit as many entries as you like, but can only win one prize.
Submit your entries to the "Contest Entries" folder!
If you use images that are not your own (photo manips, dressing up alacrity dogs), please cite your source(s)!
Prizes:
1st Place: A custom breeding pair of your choice (no bone limit) or 15 bones
2nd Place: A custom dog of your choice (no bone limit) or 10 bones
3rd Place: 5 bones
Everyone else will receive a single bone just for entering!
Entry Deadline: April 30th
Next Contest: May's contest will be held on the Alacrity Steam group! It'll be an icon contest for the Steam group. Join us there if you haven't already for more exclusive contests!
If you have any suggestions or idea for future contests, please submit them by sending a note to the group! :)
