[Gypsy Knights Games] GKG Art Contest #1

Gypsy Knights Games

Cosmic Mongoose
When we first started Gypsy Knights Games back in February this year we had a very spartan art budget (and some would say still is). So our first few products had covers that were.... lets just say....basic.

Well, we would like to go back and change some of that. So...we're looking for artists. And what better way to find some than by having a contest!

What we would like is for you to create a piece of art that will go well with our first worldbook Quick Worlds 1: Kyiv. Buy or borrow (we'd prefer you not steal) a copy of QW1: Kyiv, read the interior, and then get a piece of art to us.

The winner of the contest will be the person we feel provides us with an excellent piece of art for the cover of the book. The art should have something to do with the text of the book and hopefully illustrate some scene on Kyiv.

You will retain ownership of the art, but will be giving us permission to use it (in the style of the later worldbooks with the GK stripe and the black bands) on the cover of Quick Worlds 1: Kyiv (both pdf and possible print run) and as an illustration in a future book (which we hope will be available in print as well as pdf). The winner will, of course, be credited in the book(s).

You can see the products at our website.

The winner of the contest will receive $50 and three free copies of any of our existing books (winner's choice).

Simply send the piece of art and a description of what the artwork depicts to gkgamesart@gmail.com by August 26, 2011. Winners will be announced on September 1, 2011.
 
I'm afraid I've left something out of the requirements for the contest. My fault and I'm truly sorry.

With the nature of the SRD being what it is with Mongoose Publishing, I can't use anything that features something from the Official Traveller Universe (this includes the commonly seen starships (like the Beowulf or the Azhanti High Lightning), any of the aliens (Aslan, Vargr, etc) or any of the symbols (the starburst, the Solomani cross, etc).

I should have said this before, but sometimes I forget that most people don't know what I can and cant publish with the SRD.
 
Congrats to Ian Stead!

Ian is the winner of the first Gypsy Knights Games Art Contest. He will receive $50 and three of our products for free.
