shades of aesthete。graphic contest

shades of aesthete • season 2

ready to shade some new colors?

same competition, different contenders.

hello! hehehe i'm back for season 2! btw the same competition once again, and yes, new rules, new graphics, and new contenders~ are you all ready? let's begin!

again, a brief introduction to different graphic strands that you should face in this competition. each of you must be aware that, every information below should be the same as your chosen strand.

1st strand: PHOTO MANIPULATION (well, i will assume that all of you knows that kind of manipulation, the super heavy manip one.)

2nd strand: BLENDING (blending comes with two different genres, the drama/angst or the horror one so please be careful.)

3rd strand: TUMBLR/AESTHETIC (no simple covers or pastel here, mainly tumblr-ish or the aesthetic kind of style that showcases the randomness or the uniqueness of the editor)

4th strand: ANIME (anime can be a source of character rather than people. so you can use any strands here but the character would be anime. you can use the c4d style tho)

5th strand: VECTOR/SIMPLISTIC (awesome published book covers, anyone? the fault in our stars, etc. the writer's name is large and also the title)

6th strand: SCRAPBOOK/MOCKUP (and this is where your creativity follows. this is hard, also the most hardest thing is searching some resources but it's okay.)

7th strand: FANART STYLE (a new addition! i'm currently hoping that someone will choose this lol, so this is a mix of manipulation and c4d style, also fanart styles should be like a real fanart rather than an edited one.)

to join, please fill up this form below. the form is just the same as the last season, so lol. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY JOINED THE LAST SEASON, YOU CANNOT JOIN HERE.
