Maybe the before and after of a spell, kinda like on Split Second cards? Like showing the mouse in old giant growth and then the next part of the art would be a gigantic one.
Magic & Gatherings - Hasbro owns both the D&D and Magic licenses, so of course the Magic Roleplaying game is coming out! Draw a cover for the Magic: RPG Dungeon Master Guide, Player's Handbook, or Monster Manual!
2) Oh yeah, photo-manipulate a celebrity photo to look like an MTG character. Angelina Jolie into Akroma, Mos Def into Teferi, Naomi Watts into Ashling, Hugo Weaving into Szdek, etc. Bad ass fun. Definately a repeatable contest idea.
3) Ach! Hans run! It's the ______! - Make a creature deserving of Han's running.
3) Ascension; draw the act of a creature [character most likely] becoming a planeswalker. I have a feeling there'll be a lot of abstract artworks for this one...
I second this one. It sounds really promising.

Can you believe some fella actually piloted THIS deck to victory at a recent FNM near my house? For god's sake, it runs THIRTY-FOUR LANDS!

Celebrity MTG cards....OMG yes! PBG you know you want to see this
*i like the planeswalker idea as well except somebody is gonna have to explain what physically happens to the person/creature. If that aspect were clarified (because I dont know where to look that up), then it may be do-able.

I mean, hell, we're all on a forum for something that most people would describe as a "children's card game"...do what makes you happy. You are never too old to enjoy yourself.
1) Draw what you think some mystical dude wearing all the "demigod" armor would look like. [all 5 of those auras based off the demigod cycle.]
2) Draw as accurate a representation of what you think "tapping/untapping" actually looks like in a "real time" context. Toughy! [if you're confused, what i mean is draw something like BoP "tapping" to produce mana; whether that means throwing up some rainbow colored soup or a rainbow aura to you, capture that "action" of tapping.]

I'm wondering if it would be possible to make a contest where you gotta re-create a part of a photo, in your own style. Could be pretty interesting to see how different entries there would be were when everyone would be drawing the exact same thing. The problem is finding a good piece though.

Hey PBG, i've noticed that there's a small dip in entries for this month's contests. That may be due to school/work fr some people as it is almost June, that dreaded month. I'm bringing this otherwise well known fact up because i don't want to see you "waste" an awesome idea on a month that may or may not get a lot of people. Just my :twocents:.
Yet on the other hand, can't wait to see what you have for us next month!
3) Ascension; draw the act of a creature [character most likely] becoming a planeswalker. I have a feeling there'll be a lot of abstract artworks for this one...

I'm seriously considering this for next month.
Edit: This will be next month's Artwork contest. The card itself will receive some development work and will be announced at the same time as the contest is posted. I would also like one of the contest's regular contributors to send me a PM detailing how these are run. I can't replace PBG (nobody can), but I'd like to at least do the best job I can keeping the contests and Artwork forum in general going.
Howcome we don't have MTGSalvation.com Tshirts? Howabout a contest for that? Or is that outside the realm of possibilities due to lots of legal information?

I love that idea. I know I would wear a MTG Salvation T-Shirt or Sweatshirt. Plus. it's a fun thing to design that could actually help MTGS.

Could we do a reprise of the very first artwork contest? The one where you guys drew the Vanguard avatars? It seemed so fun, and I'm sad I was wasn't around to take part yet.

I was playing an EDH game with Brion Stoutarm as my general.
He started to throw critters left and right at people's faces when I thought of something to post on here. I want to see a picture of Brion flinging a Darksteel Colossus or other fatty creature.
Every deck is the spellbook of a wizard, says the storyline of MtG. Every hand is his mind.
This month, pick a deck with personality and flair and draw the wizard that uses it. Be sure to post the deck list along with the illustration and a short description of how your entry illustrates the personality of the deck you've chosen!
Now do the same thing with any of the planeswalker cards and draw the alternate art. What would Jace, Pyschological Cleric be like? Or what if Chandra had ice powers instead of fire? Or what would Tezzeret be like if he had Phyrexian tech instead of Esper? Do whatever you can come up with, go hog wild!
Will there be a contest for designing a new MTGSalvation banner (the one at the top of the page!) anytime soon? I think we need a new one, I think I can do better than the one we have, and I would love to participate in such a contest.
Magic & Gatherings - Hasbro owns both the D&D and Magic licenses, so of course the Magic Roleplaying game is coming out! Draw a cover for the Magic: RPG Dungeon Master Guide, Player's Handbook, or Monster Manual!
Go to www.wizards.com/dnd if you need to see the D&D books.
Add-on:
- Create an offspring of two characters [i think that was mentioned by someone else actually...]
- Algamate two tribe types together to produce a new species. Tribe, not class, tribe.
Quoting yourself is tech.
