Silhouette Contest WINNER POSTED!

Aug 18, 2011

    1. This year we invite you to find inspiration in the theme of one's shadow, and what's a better embodiment of a shadow than a silhouette? As a black image against a white background, silhouetted artwork may be as simple as a single portrait or as elaborate as a whole lanscape scene.

      The interpretation is up to you! You may create your image digitally or using traditional media. It may be a backlit photograph or a shape cut out from a paper card. The only requirement is that the final image is a solid dark shape contrasted against a solid light background, oh, and it should be an on-topic ball jointed doll.

      Please review the entries below and then vote for the best silhouette entry using the link below!

    3. Oh wow... Some of these don't contain dolls in them, but some are purely fantastic works! ^^ I am stunned. Never thought that making silhouttes would be interpreted so diversely! I have casted my votes. ^^ I hope the best would win. Good luck!
       
    4. I agree! I would love to see some of these as t-shirt or canvas bag designs. They're beautiful.
       
    5. Voted! Nice job to everyone who entered! :)
       
    6. *sad i also made an entry for this but i finished 1 day to late OTL
       
    7. I voted! Good job everyone! :D The entries were all so nice! <3
       


    8. There are dolls in all the photos.. are you hinting at the landscape piece? I couldn't see one either, but then my husband pointed out to me that the horizon is a doll! It's really neat! :sweat
       
    9. Some of these are others artwork right? We
      have some very talented creators on DOA and it reminds
      me each anniversary year :). Good luck to all and good job ppl!
       
    10. Just beautiful!!! I have a feeling I know who the owners are of a couple of the entries.... only because I've seen some of their other artwork and its just magnificent!!! Amazing job everyone!!
       
    11. WOW, what a diverse group. I can't belive how beautful these are. I would love a few on a tee shirt!

      Truffle, is that your Pom Pom in your avatar! I have a little black boy, I tried to but a bow in his hair a few times and he looks just like a girl... he he!
       
    12. Mitsukitty, that IS me! I belong to two of the moderators, and even though I'm a little dog, I'm in charge of every year's anniversary events. I have a brother who is also a Pom, black and gold. Say hello to your little Pom from us!
       
    13. I'm not sure what you mean here... are you thinking that someone stole someone else's artwork? That would be horrible! These should all be original works, per the rules.
       
    14. It was very difficult to choose because they are all so wonderful and intriquing in their own way. Applause for each and every person who entered! Bravo!:)
       
    15. Oh no that's not what I mean!
      I meant that's it's the artwork they drew
      themselves inside of a photograph @@.

      I'm sorry that did sound like
      I implied that! That's for pointing
      that out for me.
       
    16. Huh. Most of those are not what I would consider a "solid dark shape contrasted against a solid light background"... Going to vote now!
       
    17. I'm sorry I wasn't able to enter, but I loved looking through these. So many beautiful and creative designs. I agree that many would look nice on bags or shirts. Good luck, everybody!
       
    18. Some of these are amazing! It'll be really tough to choose... Hmmmm let's seeee
       
    19. Entry 21 COULD be stolen. It's a black and white version of a lineart found on DeviantArt, however, I'm not sure who submitted it. Just putting it out there.
       
    20. Uh oh...
      I hope it their Deviant Art page?
       
    21. Even if it is their page...I don't think the entries were supposed to be put up elsewhere until the end of the contest.
       
    22. Then in that case we may potentially have a problem :sweat
       
    23. I've brought this to the Moderator's attention for review. If you have specific information about this, you may PM me, but otherwise please refrain from further speculation until the mods are able to get on and handle this matter.
       
    24. I was wondering how long the voting would go since it started late?
       
    25. Wow, these are each so interesting and creative! I love how each one is completely different from all of the others and each artist brought something special into their entry. I had such trouble choosing one to vote for!
       
    26. When will the voting for this contest end?
       
    27. Argh! Tough choice! We have so many talented people here!
       
    28. Ok, well... I wasn't going to bump this but I'm starting to wonder when we'll see results. I know voting was pushed back a couple of days but... have we an end? :)

      Inquiring minds.
       
    29. DOA HQ is in the path of the hurricane, please be patient while the staff deals with Mother Nature along with regular life/duties.
       
    30. Gotcha -- wasn't sure what part of NY we were talking about. Please be safe and sound. And dry! :)

      ETA: and from the looks of the satellite this morning it didn't matter which part of NY! (I lived in Buffalo for 4 years; it's a long way from the coast). Wow, it would take 16 hours by car to go from one side of that thing to the next.
