Our first Video Game Art Challenge started in October and was all about Nintendo.

It resulted in illustrations of both known characters like Rosalina but also pretty unknown ones inlcuding even Golden Sun and the Wonderful 101.

Our new one is all about villains in video games! Can you illustrate those evil guys like Ganondorf, Vaas Montenegro, Kefka Palazzo, Sephiroth, Handsome Jack, Wario etc?

You can either choose one of these characters OR if you want a real challenge let me give you a choice between only three villains. I am mostly choosing those which are not so easy to illustrate of course.


Rules:
Counting all ALL villains, antagonists and bosses in video games, this means that stage bosses can be claimed as well as evil fighting game characters like M.Bison or Shao Kahn or the big antagonists or villains of a game like those mentioned above.
Each character can be chosen by only one artist. Exceptions are different forms or designs. Like Ganon the boar like boss from the classic Zelda and Ganondorf from Zelda OoT who looked very different.

It is up to you in what style, size and format you would illustrate the villain or boss character, you can also choose to draw a fight scene with the protagonist(s) of a game, but the villain should be on the winning side and be the clear focus on the illustration.


This challenge endures till the 8th March 2015.


The submissions will be featured in a journal on as well as on Game-Art-HQ.com  The GA-HQ challenge is going to be a big part of the website, and the featured artworks are of course accompanied with full credits to you and your dA Profile or another website of your choice.
Here is an example for you to see how it looks: www.game-art-hq.com/80767/the-…
