SLASHERS OF VARDORAN
This year’s theme is dedicated to the spirit of the gory flicks that fill our theaters and haunt our dreams during these cool autumn days… but with a little V Rising twist! We want you to take one of our many iconic V Bloods and reimagine them in the spirit of this seasonal horror movie staple! For some characters like Goreswine with their rotting pig head and rusty blade, and Tristan who really is a horror movie villain for Vampires, we fully expect to see those familiar faces. However, we hope you check the whole roster and get a little bit more creative! Speaking of which, they don’t have to resemble any currently existing horror movie characters. Just make them properly horrifying!
- Your submitted work should contain at least one V Blood character from V Rising, with a theme centered around Horror Movie Slashers. Communication and execution of this theme will be a primary factor in judging submissions.
- The image dimensions can be a maximum of 2000x2000 pixels.
- You can illustrate everything by hand, use digital processes, photography and cosplay, photography and video, or 3D modeling. All mediums are welcome!
- Submitted art should be created by you, and only you. Please submit evidence of your process in the form of a layered original image file or a video time-lapse of your process to verify authenticity.
- Let’s agree that 15 MB is the max size of the final product provided for images. This size limit does not apply to the evidence of authenticity, but please try to be reasonable in your sizes for those as well.
- Videos should be no longer than 120 seconds and must be linked as YouTube videos. Alternatively, videos can be sent in their entirety in a QuickTime, .mov, or MP4 file format to the contest email.
- You can portray blood and violence (of course), but please avoid nudity and sexual violence.
- You can submit up to three entries, but we highly suggest creating one fantastic entry.
- Sharpen your fangs and pencils! You have until 11:59 PM GMT on Thursday, November 14th, to send in your entry to contest@playvrising.com. Please include your full name (optional) and a social media or art station URL so we can credit you for your work. By submitting artwork to us, you will permit us to share it second-hand.
