"You will create ONE visual artwork with either a god or goddess ( or both ) "
I noticed from the currently submitted artwork that people only drew one god/goddess. However, it IS allowed for one submission to have both a god and goddess in it, correct?
I want to draw Apollo and Artemis (twins), that is why.

faeorain In reply to Laugh-Butts [2014-04-16 16:26:58 +0000 UTC]
Yes, that is correct. As long as you portray at least one god or goddess, you are good. You can do more than one in the single submission, but there has to be at least one in the image. So yes, you can draw Apollo and Artemis.

Again, I'm sorry, but all of the details of the contest were in the rules from the beginning, including the 2 month stipulation. There are only 2 days left in the contest and to change this rule now after more than 2 months would not be right. There very well may have been some people who came across the contest, read through the rules thoroughly and realized they didn't qualify so they didn't enter. To change it now would be unfair to those people.

It looks like someone else already approved it. Submissions are not automatically approved here, so when you submit something it has to be approved by a mod before it is added to the gallery. So, just for future reference, you don't need to keep resubmitting it...just submit it once and give us a little time to see and approve it

like I said it has to be a god/goddess that was actually recognized and worshiped by an ancient culture. you seem to know more about that goddess so you decide if it would be a suitable entry or not based on that criteria.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what TES is. The contest is only for actual established gods or goddesses from the ancient cultures of our planet throughout history. For example ( Hindu gods, Aztec gods, Greek gods, Norse gods)

Hi! I have a question regarding the contest
The godess/god that we're going to draw, do they have to be one thats allready in your albums? Reading this journal that was the impression i got, but... i thought I'd ask anyway
I have many godesses oand gods in mind, but I'm not sure if they are in your albums. Or is it that we can choose a god ourselves as long as it fits with one of the groups?
Sorry for all my silly questions, hehe

Aztecatl13 In reply to kozieBubble [2014-03-16 01:05:01 +0000 UTC]
You can choose any god or goddess worshiped by any people. they don't have to be in the albums. In fact, we'd love to see ones that are not in the albums.
But you have to give some information about the god or goddess and the people who worshiped it in the description of your artwork when you upload it.

No, it just has to be any actual god or goddess, from any mythology of any ancient cultures from around the world. Like, it can't be a made up one, it has to be an already established god or goddess. The group albums are just to display members artwork that pertain to ancient cultures, and have nothing to do with the actual contest. There is a specific contest folder you will submit your work into, but you can choose any deity that you like.

Well, I think he was a god, but yes, you can use any god or goddess. I suppose also, if you'd like to draw a female version of the god, that is okay to, as long as it still personifies the deity.

I have submitted my contest entry 3 times, and without fail it has not shown up as a submitted image to the folder for such images.
There must be some kind of setting change needed for me to be able to submit my image to this folder.:thumb438706010:

There isn't any problem. We have it set up that submissions are not automatic, we have them set up to be approved first, so it had to wait until one of the mods could approve it. I just added it now. So from now on, you can submit your pics to albums just like you have, but you only need to do it one time. It may take a day or two until we get to it, but usually it's quicker than that.

Okay, it looks like it should be okay. Here is the link and you can double check for yourself if you like, in case I missed anything. It's a page about custom restrictions for Russia ( I'm assuming this means the Federation, as it was the only version listed ).
