This is Star Wars, right? Well, not today! But hey, that doesn't mean your character is gone! In fact, they're right over there, in the shoes of... someone else, it seems. It's time to cross over some interdimensional walls and break into a different fandom. The question is, who will you be in this alternate universe?
The theme of this round of What's My Fandom Again? is A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones. There are two ways to go about this round: You may either draw a crossover between your own character and one of the many beloved names from the highly renowned series, or you may select one of its major Houses / Factions and draw your character as if they were a member. For the second option, remember that each House / Faction has very strong visual representation in their clothing and equipment to make themselves known - feel free to ask questions if you would like assistance with this! (And alien characters may certainly remain a non-human species if preferred!)
Submission & Scoring:
- Entries will only be accepted in the following formats: .jpg, .png, .gif.
- Scoring will be done in adherence to the (current, as of this competition's creation,) Herald Graphics Grading Rubric, with an adjustment: Adherence to Theme will be increased to 30%, while Technique will be reduced to 30%.
- The top three contestants will receive Second Level Crescents, and all valid entries will be awarded Clusters of Graphite.
Conditions:
- Due to the thematic focus of this competition, stick figures will not be considered valid entries.
- For photo manipulation purposes, you are welcome to use backgrounds from the show, as well as images of House symbols and iconography. Other uses of actual imagery from the TV series, namely characters and their clothing/equipment, is discouraged for the sake of artistic creations and will result in a lower score, but it is not a disqualifying factor on its own. However, an image that is little more than a head placed over a screenshot from the show, or a photo manipulation submission of similar lacking effort, may be subject to disqualification.
- Please do not include any gear specific to Star Wars. Failure to exchange an object such as a lightsaber or firearm with low-fantasy medieval weaponry will lower your score. However, creative styling in flavor with your character, such as giving a helmet a Mandalorian T-shaped visor, or coloring a sword blade red, is acceptable.
