Artistic Progress Contest!

Artistic Progress contest

Your mission, in this contest, is to show how feedback can have a positive effect on your art.

You first choose one piece of art that has received constructive feedback in your gallery. Then, you will enhance or remake the piece based on the feedback. In the end, you put the old and the new piece side by side in one file and submit it as a deviation. You must also quote the beneficial feedback in the artist's comments.

See an example here.


Rules

- The enhanced/remade version of the artwork has to be a new piece, that is, created after the contest announcement.
- The old version may have been created earlier.

- All media are accepted, including literature! Please abide by the deviantART rules.
- Maximum of two submissions are accepted per artist.

- The feedback we're talking about may be a critique or constructive comment, it doesn't matter. Therefore, you don't need to be subscribed to participate in this contest.

Send your submission as a fav suggestion in only one of these folders.
Gimmefeedback's folder - ProjectComment's folder - UnCritic's folder

The contest ends Saturday 13th of March at midnight (GMT).


Winners

The four winners are chosen by a jury. The jury will be looking for artworks that indicate good use of the feedback received. The most important measure of the evaluation is how well the artist has been able to apply the technical or conceptual feedback in her/his artwork.

How to Get Feedback for Your Art

If you'd love to take part in the contest but lack good feedback, constructive comments or critiques, check out our groups! Each one has their own original concept and one of them might just be what you are looking for.

provides you an option to post your deviations to their gallery, where other members will give you tons of feedback. The trick is -- you first need to give feedback to get some. See the FAQ

has a Commenters System where you are free to contact a deviant (or many deviants!) for an immediate, guaranteed, constructive comment. Every deviant is different, so contact them with care!

stands for "Unofficial Critics". The group provides a critique service for unsubscribed members of the deviantART community to enable them to take advantage of the knowledge of other artists and to improve based on that. Read more info on the front page here
