Here are the entries for the January 2009 Snapeartcontest hosted by severed_lies





Remember, Snapeartcontest is now at  snapedom!

All good things come to an end...

...and so does this community.

But not the contest. I'm sorry, but I can't keep three communities organised, and the way snapeartcontest is currently run needs more work than I can handle at the moment. That's why I want to merge [info]snapeartcontest with snapedom.

From January on, the basic, original S.N.A.P.E. Art Contest will be part of my Snape-centric community snapedom.

If you don't have an ij account and want to see snapedom entries on your flist, snapedom is syndicated. This is the link: http://syndicated.livejournal.com/snapedom_syn/
Just add the feed to your flist as you would any regular user and you'll get the entries.


We'll have one of these regular contests every month, if the winner of the past contest doesn't post a new one, I'll do it. There'll be a bit of change, too. No announcements of recent entries, but the contest will be open for all media except for photo manips. The winners will be determined by number of reviews to each entry up to a set date.

From time to time, we'll have seasonal or special contests, but not as regularly as in the past. The only regular event will be the original contest. There won't be 'recent entries' posts or masterlists, [info]snapedom is pretty much a mildly moderated anarchy, and we do fine with that.

This community here will keep open until the end of January. This will give you time to ask questions and get used to the idea. After that, it will be closed for posting, but remain open for looking. [info]florence_craye has promised to make a master list for all the contests of the past.

The holidays can be a stressful time, perhaps more so for someone like Snape. Raise holiday cheer with an (in)appropriate holiday drawing or painting. Prompts within... )


As usual, anyone can enter, entries to this contest should be made in a comment to this post, humor is more important than artistic skill, use ArtPad or a similar program to create your drawing, and if using ArtPad, take frequent screenshots in case the program fails.


There will be desktop graphics for December here.

Have fun!

Few entries for September means extra creative energy for October! No talent needed -- only a sense of humor. Why hesitate? )

I said that the first three entries would get a banner.
I had so much fun with your entries, that I made a banner for all of you.
You'll find your banners under the cut. [info]the_bitter_word had already summed up the entries in her 'thank you' post - but you'll get a master list for that challenge soon, too, just in case I get organized one of these days. ;)

Banners are under the cut. Read more... )

There's still a contest going on, the September Memes

You have a weekend ahead of you. Why don't you play with ArtPad and show us what you came up with? I'm looking forward to your entries.

I'm sorry that they come so late, but finally: here they are.

The banner for the August meme will come soon, too, as will master list and banners for the Good-bye challenge. I was very, very busy this week and couldn't do anything fandom-related. But the lists and banners will come.

The banners are under the cut.

I have never posted artwork in a community like this before, so... Gulp. I saw this thanks to [info]venturous1 over on insanejournal.

This is for the "Severus says good-bye" contest. Um, actually, no. Scratch that. I see I should have used ArtPad! Ah, dear. When I saw [info]venturous1's beautiful art, I thought... Oops.

It is just a gift. A little ink drawing.

Gift Art for The Bitter Word

Add to Memories Share
new leaf



title: I don't want to say goodbye
artist: [info]venturous1 
rating:G
warning: Melancholy!Snape
media: charcoal and a bit of photoshop
artist's notes: If not for [info]snapeartcontest  I would not be here today. Seriously, ArtPad was one of my first forays into computer art that wasn't work-related. Making silly Snapey paintings with that cumbersome tool was great fun, and I felt welcomed into the fandom and had a great time.
[info]the_bitter_word  has announced her retirement from the asylum, and this is my parting gift. The title pretty much says the rest.

I don't want to say goodbye

It’s September, and for the first time in many years, Severus doesn’t have to deal with dunderhead students, or prejudiced staff, for that matter. How to fill the time? )

I'm very sorry for posting that so late. It got lost in my grief over the_bitter_word leaving. ~Sniff~ (Those who know me know that I'm infamous for being disorganized.)

Anyway, the winner is:

1st place: [Unknown LJ tag] with I Die, You Die.

[info]hirschkuh
severed_lies and the_bitter_word tie on second place.

Congratulations to the winners!
