Contest 05/2023: ONE COLOR

This is a special challenge! The picture can be about whatever you like - just stick to shades of one color. Red, blue, green, yellow, pink, brown, grey… choose one and try to stay in this range. It is allowed to have tiny parts in different colors, but not much. That's all there is to say. I want this to be a free, creative contest topic, so you can create a fashionable OC, recreate a monochrome movie scene or come op with somethign completely random.

Create a picture about an animated Disney character! You can pick any character from a Disney cartoon or animated movie. But no Star Wars, no Marvel.

Please remember: You are only allowed to use the SP-Studio, so do not edit with additional software (no cutting, drawing or filters). Don’t resize your picture. Of course it must be your own creation.

The rules are as always:

1. CREATE a SP-Studio picture about the topic of the month
   
2. UPLOAD your unedited picture until the 20th
   
3. VOTING will start on the 21st on the contest page
   
4. THE WINNERS will be announced at the start of next month

NEW: THE JURY VOTE

This month we will test something new: The public vote will be only one part of the final results.There will also be a jury made up of experienced and trustworthy SP Studio artists. They have a particularly good eye for how much effort and creativity went into a picture. This is often difficult for newcomers to assess. Unfortunately, there have been many cases recently where, for example, pictures were chosen only because they had a currently popular cartoon as their theme. Therefore the jury vote is introduced to make the final result fairer. The combined jury vote counts a bit less than the combined public vote and both will later be shown for transparency.

So far the jury consists of Art Vandelay, DavidSchwarz, Eggyslav, Jareen2 and myself. Jury members are still allowed to participate but are not allowed to vote for their own pictures.

Sorry, but for now it's a small hand picked jury. Nobody needs to be sad if they are not part of this, because I was looking for very specific things in these people. And there are no big meetings or anything special... their votes just count more than usual.

Of course the jury members should not brag about being part of it.

But maybe later! I will contact you if I there is a place.

Some were wondering what exactly is meant by a "monochrome" picture. So here are two examples. Pick a color and try to only use variations of this color. Black and white are always fine for small parts because it is difficult to avoid them. A completely different color is only allowed for tiny parts (in this example the belt). And remember to pick a fitting background! Unfortunately, many pictures are uploaded without a background.

Quote from Art Vandelay

Does black and white, or grey scale count?

Yes, they count.

Wow... Even after deleting most pictures that do not count this contest has 392 pictures already.
