‘Draw’ a picture, huh? So I can just draw or paint a background, and an image of a ship will be placed on it?

 

We need to be clear on that part, since graphic software is not allowed.

#3

No, they say that you have to take a paper + pencil and do your drawing from nothing.

If you take a picture of a ship and draw a background, how do you get that picture manually like requested ?

Print isn’t manually.  :004j:

Copy Paste of what I asked on facebook here :

 

"Hi !

I have some question about the event ‘Rest from the Helm’

 

First, I would like to know :

How exactly I am supposed to send the pictures of my drawing ?

 

Then comes question about what is allowed and what’s not :

  • Is it pencil only ? Or we can use anything unless it’s a manual use ?

  • Color allowed ?

  • It’s one drawing per player ?

  • The drawing must contain only one ship and nothing more, or we can draw them in a specific context (Hear : Battle) ?

  • The photo that is supposed to show the “Work in progress”, is it a small sketch or a picture between the white paper and the final release ?

  • Is it drawing only or I can couple it with kinigami/origami (Cutting/Folding a paper to create something like a paper Plane for example) ?

 

Thanks for reading."

 

Also : What’s about colored papers + stick of glue to make details ?

(Colored pencil and painting isn’t my thing).

 

I already have my sketch done. Waiting for an official answer to do it.

Sweet! Been awhile since I’ve had the time to draw.  Might have to pick it up again for this!

 

Also, can I draw a ship doing a barrel roll?  Kinda like this, except not really:

We can’t see your picture. Use imgur :slight_smile:

How is transparency treated in these images?

 

cause what I have in mind could end up a black and white square… not exactly appealing…

Can you explain me how you do transparency with an opaque paper ?

 

If you mean “How to draw transparency”, then you need a background.

Not that, how is it handled in-game. I know how to draw it, but I don’t want it to look like a black or white background underneath the image because of how the image is treated in-game…

It won’t be added in-game. It’s not like the stickers contest. Just a contest where you draw something for fun and GS. So don’t worry !

 

The contest where you have to create a sticker isn’t this one. It’s [http://forum.star-conflict.com/index.php?/topic/23889-contest-‘top-aerography’/#entry287010](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/23889-contest-%E2%80%98top-aerography%E2%80%99/#entry287010)

great, isn’t it?

btw
"Draw a picture "

Is that even possible?

#13

I think it’s just the long way of saying no photoshop… Draw it… Take a digital pic of the drawing… Upload.

I drew this back High School while in class from memory… I wonder If I could do the same with a Sai… 

 

(ship is a phantasm from EVE from those who don’t know)

Yes, even with fingers! We need this person to draw ships for us!

Oh, okay. Just what I wanted to hear. I’ll get on it.

#17

can we draw digitally using a graphics tablet? on Adobe Illustrator for example? (vector program)

#18

I think they mean no computers as AI is probably considered a “Graphics Editor”

#19

I hope promos/contests are always something that everyone can do to join. I don’t have the skills to draw. And I also don’t have facebook (in case this is part of the mechanics).

No you can’t. 

They said : nothing electronic. Everything manually. 

To draw, take a paper, and a pencil, and go. Nothing more.

 

If you want to understand the rules, it’s simple :

  1. Draw bare hands on a paper.

  2. Once your work is done, don’t photoshop it.

  3. Put your name on it.
