TFcon 2013 Custom and Art Contest Info

2D entries can be anything from a painting, black and white drawing, color drawing, computer render print out, basically anything that’s on a flat piece of paper qualifies for this category. It is preferred that any 2D entry be mounted, framed or in a protective covering. 3D entries can be anything from a diorama, kitbash/custom, toy repaint or statue.

2D entries will be judged on originality, perspective, creativity, lighting/shadows, application of color/tones, detail, realism/suspension of disbelief and the judges overall impression. 3D entries will be judged on detail, originality, use of color, proportions, realism, use of materials, innovativeness, neatness and the judges overall impression.

Is photography a part of this? While not included in the examples, it's also not excluded either.

Because I can think of one board member who's name starts with "brr" that could definitely bring the heat.

Plus maybe I'd give it a shot since my drawing skills are lacking.

Re: TFcon 2013 Custom and Art Contest Info

I have a question regarding subject matter of an entry.

I know a straight gundam repaint doesn't apply, but if a gundam was used and modified into a custom of either a mainstream or an OC TF of the creator (ex. turning onto into Prime), would that be allowed under the rules?
