Adam has given me permission to start the first drawing contest.
In this contest, you are to draw your best Tyrannosaurus head. (Hey, if I make a contest, I'm gonna choose my favorite dinosaur). For the drawing, you can only use drawing pencils. You cannot use colored pencils, markers, crayons, paint, or any other utensil.
Anyone can enter into this contest.
Please send me your drawings via PM.
The due date was originally the 17th, but now has been moved back to the 23rd.
Please participate, and have fun!
I will discuss rewards with dinotoyforum.
Thank You.
Tyrannax

A question. Why now? Don't you think you should do it after the diorama contest? We really don't have that much time to enter a contest, let alone two.

It takes 5 minutes to make a diorama. All you do is take a dinosaur out, place it how you want it and take a picture. Its really not big deal if you enter or not. Its just a fun little contest. Enter if you have time or don't, simple as that. Why does everyone have to argue or complain about my threads? Always. It never fails. I'm not trying to be rude, but if you don't like the guidelines please don't complain about it. I'd like to have the contest close to my birthday, so I will be keeping it like this. Again not trying to be rude. Thanks.

Since you are so inviting I definitely won't be entering the contest, I was just pointing out that other members probably won't be able to submit their work.
5 minutes? I don't know about others, but sometimes it takes hours when I make a dio. That clearly shows you don't know what you're talking about.

Thats dedication ;D I was exaggerating on the 5 minute thing, it took me 20 minutes, but thats only because my dog, hazel, was threatening to to take my Triceratops away. I wasn't trying to be rude Tomhet. (I'm only rude to stoneage. I'm not meaningfully rude to him, just messing around ;D) I'm sorry if you took it that way, but its obvious to me that your response was meant to be rude. If you really want me to change the date, I will. Just say the word.

Again not trying to be rude. Thanks. Woah woah woah! Dioramas do not just take "Five minutes". You have to find a suitable location, you have to plan out what it will look like, you have to find good figures, you need good lighting, etc. And if you are making a "fake" background, well, photoshopping things can take up to an hour sometimes. Tomhet just wanted to know why we would have two contests at once, especially with the diorama contest already going for a while now.

Tomhet just wanted to know why we would have two contests at once, especially with the diorama contest already going for a while now. I pondered the figures for about 10 minutes, but rather quickly got an idea. After this, I went outside into my backyard with my dog and chose a dry, flat grass patch which I liked. I set them up how I liked them and snapped a picture. I set the figs up in several positions and took many pictures. So it took about 20-30 minutes to do. It was almost sunset so I had to hurry. ;D At least I took time to make a diorama, right? I was already thinking about this and well, I don't know. I'd love to say you can, but then your drawing would look completely different from the other's drawings and votes wouldn't be fair. You know what I'm saying?

I'm not sure. Are you saying no to a skull, or no I can't enter a drawing?

If you draw the entire head, members can compare each similar drawing and vote on which they think is best versus having to compare 2 different types - skull and flesh head drawings. Do you know what I mean? I'm very sorry teton. Is it okay if you draw the whole thing?

Yeah i liked your underwater drawings/paintings, and thought you were an artist Boki? You should be able to come up with some T-rex drawing. I love drawing and draw often but again will not be entering a contest with so many narrow guide lines like the Diorama contest.
