At long last, I'll be hosting a new challenge!    The #ElfMyself Challenge!

The challenge will be officially Announced this Friday, but I wanted to give you guys an early heads up!  And I know some of you might be interested in getting a head start!


What is the Challenge?

Essentially, you draw either YOURSELF or a character that REPRESENTS yourself as an Elf!  

Example!

The way I decided to tackle the challenge was by grabbing a photo of myself as reference and taking inspiration from the photo to create my elf-sona.  I tried to think of it as an #OutfitOftheDay but with a twist.


BUT, if you don't want to use a photo of yourself and you want to go with an OC that represents yourself instead, that also works!  

How to Enter

  • Draw yourself or a character that represents you as an Elf!
  • Post your Entry to DeviantART with the Hashtag: #ElfMyself
  • Mention me in you DeviantART description so that I get a notification that you have entered and I can come see!!

The challenge will be running: June 11th - June 25th

This Challenge is specifically a challenge in collaboration with DeviantArt, so if you enter and want your entry to be tracked (and potentially win some DA prizes), please make sure to post your entry to deviantArt!

You can, of course, post your entries to other social medias as well (but I think the hashtag #elfmyself has quite a few posts on Instagram.  So you may need to tag me for me to see it there)

I am SO excited to see what you guys come up with for this challenge!!

Oh so cool!😍 Should it be a fullbody shot or is a Halfbody shot also allowed?

Sounds cool! If I can find the time/motivation I'll give it a shot! And no, I won't cheat by making my half-elf D&amp;D character.. Pwomise. xD

Do you colour your lineart after you’ve done it or while you’re lining?

Typically I color it after I have done it and sometimes I mess with the color of the lineart as I color the actual fill colors to see what looks best.

If you want, you can download the timelapse from the bottom of almost every artwork post and see the process, if that thelps! 💖
