Official Challenge: The Second Annual Artwork Contest!
Challenge:
We want you to create a Custom Card, using original artwork created and owned by you. Cards will be judged on both standard contest design rules, as well as the artwork design and relation to the card concept presented.
Entries will be accepted from August 1st - August 31st. Winners to be chosen by our League of Judges and announced the first week of September. You may only enter one card url, so submit wisely. Cards may be directly edited (premium feature) on the same submission URL until the final day of the contest, but you cannot re-post/enter more than once.
Prizes:
1st: Custom MTGCS Avatar from your original Artwork + M20 Bundle Box + 3 months of premium membership
2nd: An MTGCardsmith Playmat of your choice + 2 months premium
3rd: 3x M20 Booster packs + 1 month of premium
That's right, if you win, you have the option to add your artwork as an official avatar to the site!
The winner will have the Artisan's Choice™ of the following:
- 1. Keep the Avatar for him/herself only.
- 2. Add the Avatar to the list of Premium Avatars (and themself).
- 3. Release the Avatar for everyone to use.
Do not fear about your artistic abilities, we want to see it all, really!
To get the ball rolling with custom art, here's a custom art collaboration card with artwork from yours truly and Tomigon!
Show us what you've got!

Comments
1) What I was planning was to illustrate a card of mine that I made but couldn't find something I entirely liked for. Is that allowed?
2) What degree of help can I get from those around me?
3) Would a black and white pencil-drawn image be scored inherently less than a fully colored drawing made on some digital platform?
4) Who are the judges? I presume that you and Grant will be among them.
Just asking.
I could be wrong tho.
Yes.
How much help do you need?
No.
We have a very distinguished panel of judges who currently wish to remain anonymous.
@ThatOneCat
No lowering of the minimum age, sorry.
Is there any specific theme or prompt?
Stuff like that.
Someone also offered to color a pencil sketch.
Nothing Specific
@Ranshi922
As long as you share credit

Good luck @Faiths_Guide!
Ha, thanks :P Same to you!
Nobody can say for sure :P But don't worry about me, I didn't even make the podium last time XD

Why do you say “created and owned”? Wouldn’t creating it mean that you own it?
Nice one @Pepperoni!
