FAQs

What kind of projects you're referring to? Single images, illustrations, full comics, webcomics…
I will make a list of possible projects and you could help me in colouring one of them. You can choose between these projects and rejecting those that are not of your liking. I am also open to other subjects of your interest.

About collaborating in your projects, for how long would it be and when would the collaborations start/end?
Well, you receive the half of the money prize after we one collaboration. All the winners can decide about the projects in which they'll be involved. We will try to work in harmony and achieve a common agreement. If the harmony ceases to exist, the cooperation will end, but it could be never ending and that's what I hope it'll be.

I chose ONE line art...or can I color all 3 and upload one in each cat.?
You can choose one, but you could also choose two or all 3 and put one of them in each cat.

Can we color the same picture and submit it twice? Like, they both are colored differently.
I'm sorry but this is not possible!

But what’s the difference between Digital Drawing and Digital Painting?
In painting you should COVER the lines with the colors, in the digital DRAWING the lines should not be hidden.

B is most difficult for me because I don't understand how it could be made with lines not visible.
You can find some samples of paintings here -> audreydutroux.deviantart.com/f…

The C category... It's only for traditional art? Or it may be digital too?
The C category could be anything you want! Traditional, digital or whatever you like.  

Should hair and eye color remain the same?
Yes they should remain the same color as original, but you can add all the gradients and tints you like. If the character has brown hair he could not become blond. ^^'

What if we mistaken the areas to color, because we think its something else?
Be careful about the areas to color. I suggest you to fit the different areas with flat colors and divide your layers before starting the coloring process. (But it shouldn't be a real problem if you make mistakes).

Are we allowed to use others' textures or patterns in our entries?
Painting and watercolors are ok for the C category. You CAN't use in all the categories textures or patterns, but brushes are allowed (ex. ART RAGE, PAINT TOOL SAI, PHOTOSHOP, COREL PAINTER etc.)

Are textures not allowed for some credit reason? Because I use my own. Won't you even allow slight almost invisible overall textures used to give just a hint of noise? Can I use the noise filter instead?
No, texture are not allowed, because they "facilitate" the colouring process and we need to see your "real" ability. But you can use a noise, because it's a filter and not a texture.

I often use the vector pen of photoshop to make bases, that's prohibited, right?
You can use vector pen only because for VECTORS I meant “vector software” as Adobe Illustrator or others.

I don't understand the not black or white rule. You just mean that I can't paint in a grey scale making the drawing just like a b/w photo or I really can't use white for, as example, the eyes?
You can't paint in a grey scale, I meant. About black, you can use this color, but, for what concerns white, it’s not allowed to leave big parts of the work in this color, because we want to see various shades.

For the picture, can we add special effects for the lighting? Like from photoshop CS4.
Yes! You can add special effects or filters, like blurs, noise or similar.

In the B category is he standing on the ground or is he flying. My mind can’t decide.
You can decide. You only have to respect the color of the skin, hair and eyes.
