S.N.A.P.E. Art Contest

...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 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, 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. 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!

severed_lies over on IJ has given us SwanLake as her entry for the October meme contest.

cardigrl posts a cheerful entry to Snape October Memes with New Spells:



There's plenty of time to enter, and ArtPad is saving. Let's see your Snape.

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

Now with dynamic ArtPad link! http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?k81gav1ou78

Please leave a comment for severed_lies.

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. 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.

Only 6 days left in Severus' Most Embarrassing Moment contest and we only have one entry!

I know you can think of something to embarrass him...

September Memes is also on through the end of the month.

ENTER TODAY!

First Entry!

(at least I think it is).

Hirschkuh showed us Severus' most embarrassing moment as a nightmare:

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.

( the_bitter_word sent the following to those who participated in the Goodbye and Thank You contest: )

"Thank you... and enter contests!"

A plethora of fantastic entries for "Severus Says Goodbye" have cropped up.

Click the images below to see a full size version, then click on the title to leave a comment for each artist.



"No Greater Love" by logospilgrim



"Bye Bye Bitter Word" by hirschkuh



"Beautiful Friendship" by florence_craye



"A Sad Goodbye" by severed_lies



"I Don't Want to Say Goodbye" by venturous on IJ


The contest ends tomorrow night. Can you provide something in the next day to say goodbye and thank you to our wonderful co-mod the_bitter_word?

Don't forget to enter September Memes or Severus' Most Embarrassing Moment... both ending this month!

I have never posted artwork in a community like this before, so... Gulp. I saw this thanks to 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 venturous1's beautiful art, I thought... Oops.

It is just a gift. A little ink drawing.

title: no greater love
artist: logospilgrim
medium: ink
rating: G




( larger image here )

title: I don't want to say goodbye
artist: venturous1 
rating:G
warning: Melancholy!Snape
media: charcoal and a bit of photoshop
artist's notes: If not for 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.
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

The 'Severus says good-bye' challenge goes until Tuesday (or do you want an extension?)

Current S.N.A.P.E. Contests: Monthly Winner's Contest: ends September 21 Severus'Most Emabarrassing Moment Community Contest: Ends August 31 Snape Memes Special Challenge: ends September 8 Severus says Good-bye

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.

hirschkuh,  severed_lies and the_bitter_word tie on second place.

Congratulations to the winners!
