The concept of art, ladies and gentletankers, is something that most do not understand.

 

To create true art, one does not need years of experience, expensive software, or some insane view of life (which would make him draw a “clock” that looks like a meaningless blob of burnt mozzarella). You can certainly utilize such things as you are producing art, but the ultimate definition of art is simply capturing the essence of something. That cute crayon picture hanging on a family’s refrigerator is art because it simply yet profoundly portrays the untainted innocence of a child.

 

The game of Tanki can be considered art. With expert mechanics and superb style, the people behind Tankionline have created a living, breathing, evolving expression of life’s simplest and most pleasant emotions: excitement, accomplishment, and satisfaction.

 

It is now your turn, tanker, to contribute to the artful world of Tankionline. You will use only two materials, black ink and a sheet of paper, to capture the essence of the Tanki player’s experience.

 

 

Directions

 

The Entry:

 

- A valid entry consists solely of a sheet of white paper or notebook paper, on which the entrant has drawn a Tanki-related picture in black ink. The drawing utensil can be either an ink pen or marker. No pencils!

 

- Upon completing the drawing, the entrant must scan it to a computer (lacking a scanner, a camera can be used to take a picture of the drawing, but the picture must be clear) upload it on a hosting site, and paste it in the comment section below.

 

- The entrant is permitted ONE (1) entry into the contest.

 

- The entry must NOT contain a link to the picture; the picture itself must be view-able in the entry.

 

- Entries are not to be submitted via PM. Any entries submitted via PM will be deleted and not viewed.

 

:excl: AN ENTRANT CAN BE DISQUALIFIED IF: :excl: 

 

- They submit an entry that contains anything other than the two allowed materials: a single sheet of white paper containing a drawing made with black ink. Entrants are disqualified if their drawing contains any extra embellishments, including, but not limited to, colored paper, ink that is any color other than black, glitter, string, paper cut-outs, photographs, coffee, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Hudson Wilson, or a termite-infested mahogany lampstand.

 

- They reserve a post (“under construction”). Reserved posts will be removed.

 

- Their entry violates any of the forum rules.

 

- Their entry contains MORE THAN ONE drawing.

 

Disqualified entrants will have their post(s) removed and shall not be considered for winning the contest or a prize.

 

- Winners

 

The names and entries of the winners for this contest will be published in the November 2015 issue, Issue 44, of the Tanki newsletter. Three (3) winners will be selected:

 

First place: 20,000 crystals.

 

Second place: 15,000 crystals.

 

Third place: 10,000 crystals.

 

There will be three consolation prizes for this contest at 2,500 crystals apiece.

 

How the entries will be judged

 

Submitted drawings will be judged based on cleanliness (no ink smears or creased paper) and Creativity (unique, imaginative, intriguing subject).

 

Please note that cleanliness will also include clarity, as in the observer’s ability to distinguish the subject and details featured in an entry. You can draw a flawless depiction of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, but if the camera used to capture it is cruddy or the angle is too steep and indiscernible, the entry will be ignored. That is why I really prefer you use a good scanner if at all possible.

 

And here is an example that I drew myself, using an ink pen, to capture the essence of Lhamster, our fuzzy newpaper administrator:
