Konqui Krita Contest!

Previous Post | Saturday, 8 December 2012 | Reading time: 1 minutes | Next Post

Konqui the friendly dragon has been KDE's mascot for over ten years now. It's time for a revamp!

So KDE forum admin Neverendingo is organizing a splendid contest together with the Krita community! There two prizes: a DVD+Comics pack and the last original First Krita Sprint t-shirt! And of course undying fame! The jury consists of the well-known artists Animtim, Deevad and Nuno Pinheiro.

So fire up Krita and get painting!

There are some ground rules::

Needs to be done in Krita
The artwork should be licensed under the LGPL V2+.
It should honor KDE's Code of Conduct, which means, for instance, that Konqui shouldn't be beating a garden gnome with a big hammer.

What is needed is a versatile portrait without background that is usable when preparing publicity for KDE and that inspires people.

When you're done, go over to the Krita contests forum and add your submission: one topic per submission, but feel free to update your work with a followup post. The last one at the deadline counts. The contest starts now and you have until January 31st, so you have the whole holiday season to paint!
