Fantasy t-shirt character design

Contest Brief

I am looking to procure some art that I can use for a T-shirt. The art will draw on generic fantasy imagery and characters (No IP infringement!), but that will be recognisable for anyone who(like me!) is addicted to MMOs or other fantasy games!

As an avid player of games such as WoW,LoL, SW:ToR etc. I would really like some art that focussed on the typical roles that a player will fill when they play. To that end, what I want is a portrait-style image (I.e a standing, face on depiction focused on the character, with no background detail) of a single character, which conforms to a typical fantasy game archetype. Specifically, for this competition I would like a submission of a "mage" style character (robes, staff and ideally about to cast a spell or with some magic featuring in the picture). I am looking to maintain the game feel, so please avoid ultra-realistic looking designs. A cross between realism and cartoon would be the ideal submission.

I am excited to see your interpretation of the brief, but if you want further direction then please do feel free to get in contact! I am willing to pay the winner £75, and I would be looking to establish an on-going relationship with the artist for future work as I grow my business, with a view of completing a further 4 pictures of other gaming archetypes (tank, rogue, barbarian, healer) in the future. Naturally as the relationship progresses there will be scope to increase the price per commission.

In order to complete and submit pieces of work, I want to be very clear that if we select your art to win, I will expect to receive all commercial copyrights on an exclusive basis, as I will be selling copies of the art imprinted onto clothing using the business infrastructure I already possess and that by entering the competition, you accept these terms should your entry win.

Many thanks, and I look forward to seeing your entries!

    Hi, considering the fantasy/video game style, can I use a high resolution digital painting or must that to be in vector format?

      Hi Diego, a high resolution digital painting is okay as long as it wont lose quality when re-sizing. Vector format is the preferred type.

    Please #increaseprize . Because I love the contest idea, but I think the price is a little bit low for a high resolution character. Is there a chance, to pay more? Respectfully -JE-

      Hello Jorzsitse, unfortunately we will not be able to increase the price for this competition,however as noted in our description we are looking to create a relationship with the winning artist for a few further pieces. At such point we would be more open to negotiation of the price for further pieces.

    Greetings artists! Thank you for your excellent submissions so far. I would like to clarify that we would like to receive characters with no background, the character needs to be the absolute focus of the submission. Keep up the good work, I are loving some of the submissions and thoughts we have seen so far

    We have no preference on gender and will leave the decision in the hand of our artists!
