I completely forgot what number this comp is and I don't know how to go back and check so if someone can tell me that'd be cool.

Rules:
  • Create a Nintendo-related illustration for 1 page in a book.
  • It can be a page for any kind of book, from picture book to comic.
  • ***You can use a preexisting book's text and apply something Nintendo to it or you can create your own text, but the page must contain text.***
  • The art must of course be your own, no ripping off other art (though you can certainly draw inspiration from other art).
  • Your artwork must not violate any of the MFGG forum rules.
***I'm updating the rules regarding text on the page. If you are doing an illustration for a text-heavy book, or any sort of case where the text would be on one page and the drawing on the other, you can include the text in your post and not on the drawing itself. Also when the voting is put up the text will still be put alongside the drawing just like it is in your post so people can have the proper context when voting. You can also include the other page in the same image as your drawing if you want to, but it's not necessary.***

Tips/Guidelines:
  • Try to have the illustration go along with the text on the page. For example, if you're illustrating a page from a picture book, have the illustration enhance the text by giving the viewer a visual as to what is being said in the text on the page.
  • Pick a font that's legible and suits the mood of your story.
  • Plan out where your text is going to go as you plan out your drawing. You don't want your text to be covering up something important, or to be in an awkward place on the page.
The competition ends December 12th. Have fun! Other Big Brin

Does it have to be a whole page or can it be a paragraph? Because a page is a lot to summarize in one drawing.

It depends on what you're doing. If you're doing a picture book similar to a children's book, there's often little text on each page. It could be that you're doing an illustration for a book with heavier text, but in both cases you should pick the most interesting and integral moment of the text and illustrate it for the best result. Like how in books with lots of text that contain illustrations don't illustrate every single thing that happens in the book, they only illustrate the moments worth seeing or moments which could use visual aid.
If you are going the route of illustrating from a text heavy story, you only have to include the snippet that you are illustrating, and I suppose you don't need to have that on the drawing itself since many books like that will have the text on one page and an illustration on the next. I'll update the rules on that.
I hope this cleared things up. Basically as long as it can be part of a book of some sort, it'll be acceptable Smile

I don't know if this counts as an entry, didn' re read the rules beforehand. If it doesnt, I'll make a new one. If It counts, here's my entry.

I have an entry, but I have not been able to set up the scanner and I probably wouldn't be able to color it or add beautiful text. Which is to bad, because this is a good entry.

Do you know when you'll have access to a scanner? If it's sometime soon I could possibly extend the deadline until then since we've only got one entry.

I finally set up my scanner. It was a lot quicker than I thought it would be. I am currently working on the coloring process and should have it done before the deadline.
