The Graphic Novel release date is getting closer and closer. July 15th! You’ll be able to read all six issues of Dreamer Goodness in one sitting, in one super-beautiful collected edition. This event required more than just a few balloons and a bottle of champagne. Beth and I talked this week and decided the only thing grand enough to commemorate this occasion was… another Fan Art Contest!!
If you were a Dreamer Reader last summer, I’m sure you remember the FanArtPolooza Contest last summer! Entries included plushies, CAKES, dolls and songs! (Here are just a few of last year’s entries.) We’re going to do it again!
The deadline for the new contest is, when else? July 15th! I’ll announce the winner that Friday, the 17th!
The Winner gets an autographed copy of the Graphic Novel, with a doodle of their favorite character inside!
The theme of this contest is “Recreating Your Favorite Dreamer Moment in the Graphic Novel.” You can use any moment in the first six issues as the inspiration for your artistic creations, or, of course, any of the covers, either mine or Jenny’s variants. You can recreate a scene in Cosplay, write a song that epitomizes an event, redraw a favorite moment in your own way, or even retell a story as your own fan fic. Any kind of artistic medium is fair game! (Did you hear me say we had a cake last year?)
Send all entries to me with “Fanartpolooza Entry” in the subject line, and I’ll be posting submissions as I receive them. The more creative, the better!
And don’t forget, the new cover is fair game as well! Let the games begin!
(Members of the Dream Team are of course encouraged to enter but… are exempt from winning! Sorry guys! We’ll leave the prize for the fans!)
I know i might be sounding dence but im going to come out of my very shy protective shell to aske you to please please explain what you mean by
“…Recreating Your Favorite Dreamer Moment in the Graphic Novel.” You can use any moment in the first six issues as the inspiration for your artistic creations, or, of course, any of the covers, either mine or Jenny’s variants.”
i dont understand an well i want to partisipate and i need it spelled out. thank you and im going back into my shell to hide out
Hey! I’m pretty excited about this contest! I was wondering if We are limited to one entry. I’m having a hard time deciding on my favorite moment…~le sigh~
Hmm ideas ideas ideas.
I can’t wait for 15th July now. I hope Amazon delivers quickly!
No problem, Crystal! Last time we had no theme for the contest, just a general fan art contest that was open ended. So we had wallpaper images that were just general Dreamer-themed. Or fan fics that had to do with something that might happen in the future. For this contest, you have to use some event that’s actually happened in the first six issues (or, as you imagine it to happen in between scenes). So the link to the drawing of Nathan carrying Bea is perfect, because that happened in the book, but is her fun interpretation of that event. Likewise, the fan fic, because it flushes out Bea’s thoughts & emotions when she’s calling Yvette in Issue #2 and getting ready for her date. That actually happened in the book, but Michelle put her own twist on it and really added depth to the scene. I hope that helps!!
And, Ellie, YES you can enter as many times as you want!
okay thanks, ill do my best and if its not exactly what its supposed to be sry, i did my best ill do the fan fic which be warned MIGHT be a tag long…i love to write, and im an aspireing author
i sent it,i know i could have done more but im exausted and i was watching tv and moveing about. enjoyand edit it if you see errors you want to fix. good night!^_^
I was wondering if you were doing another contest. The theme has the right amount of creative limits.
How fun and exciting! I really wanted to enter last year but I could not think of an idea =( I’ll have to think of something to enter this time.
I’m tempted to make a recipe off of something seen in the comic XD I don’t know what I’ll do yet
There will be an entry, not from me personally, but from the Nathan Hale Homestead (or its Junior Docents anyway). Is that allowed? (I may protest if it’s not.)
Sounds fun! :D I’ll start thinking of something to enter. :)
Oooh! Uh, where can I see Jenny’s variations of the covers?
Oh wow! It’s that time again! X’3 I’ll definitely try to enter this year again, but just as an observer. Don’t count my entries in the contest Lora — I’m doing this year for fun! Oh man, there’s just so many instances in the comic that I loved…
@Rosalind: how about semi-moldy biscuit and stale salted pork from Alan’s coat pocket. ;) Too bad the tuna surprise doesn’t show up until issue #6! :P
@Diana: C’mon… of *course* that’s okay!!
@Rose-Rayne: In her DeviantART gallery. http://jfrison.deviantart.com/gallery/
@Beatrice: Can’t wait. :)
Is the Graphic novel going to be avaliable to buy online anywhere? For those of us overseas ;)
So, at least I know I’m disqualified from the beginning. :) Even though I do have another insane idea. Don’t know if it’s 4 ft musket insane…. but insane anyway.
I will definitely have to look into this. :D
I’m soooooo in
Thanks! :D *is plotting fanart*
Yes! I am SO entering this. A chance to express “The Dreamer” love. =D My strength lies in the realm of words, so I guess I’ll try my hand at something in that area. Although I am certainly going to keep my mind open for further inspiration. ^___^ Thanks for this opportunity, Lora, and congrats on the graphic novel coming out! I’m getting myself a copy, winner or not.
Question:
Was there an update this week?
:-)
I noticed in another post about a forum discussion and I couldn’t help myself.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=77628082874
A FACEBOOK GROUP FOR THE AMAZING COMIC WE ALL LOVE!
I figure we could probably discuss anything over there.
Anybody interested? ;)
where is the entrys? mine is up, i sent it to you did you get it?
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I’m so excited that I get to enter this year. I found out too late last year so I couldn’t enter. But I’m totally going to this year. This also means I have some major incentive to crank out the fanart I’ve been trying to do for this amazing comic.
Oooh, this sounds like fun~!! Now I have to go back and re-read the first six issues again… sweet! XD
I think I became a Dreamer fan a few weeks after last year’s contest ended, so I missed that one =P Now I’m happy I get to enter this one! Yay!!
Sounds like rollicking good fun. :P I might just try my hand at Dreamer fanfiction…*off to ponder*
Ooh… I also want to enter. Sounds fabulous!
I’m trying not to sound like too much of a noob here, but do/can we enter through deviantart?
Many thanks!
PS: Love the comic! You are awesome!
