Cover Contest


:iconsparkle-spectrum:


 We're super excited to announce our  new contest!

As many of you know Sparkle Spectrum is a series of artbooks for several different charities, and the book we're starting now is "Endless Blue," The blue themed artbook for men’s health!

 So, any great artbook needs an outstanding cover!
Remember, anyone can enter the contest. People who are already contributing a work to the book, or any of the other books can enter as well as anyone else!

What we are looking for
• We want the cover to feature a magical boy who is like the personification of the book. For this book it must be a boy, since it's men's health, and he must wear a lot of blue!
• The magical boy should be sailor themed.
Here is an image board we put together for some inspiration:

• The background should feature a scene that resembles 'endless blue' (where the sea and horizon meet) Like this:

• Other than that he can look like whatever you want! You choose the hair, the outfit details, how tall he is, how old he is. You should also include a name and some other details about him, if you fail to do this we will fill in the blanks.
• Make sure you include the title “Endless Blue” somewhere on the front cover!

Rules

• Must be all original artwork OR free-to-use patterns and brushes (collect any artist details for credit) OR patterns and brushes purchased for commercial use ( must have proof of purchase)
• Must be A4 300DPI (2480 Pixels by 3508 Pixels)
• Must be willing to have artwork printed and sold

You may design a front and back cover, either in two different pictures, like this: mangastyle.net/book1/1-cover.j…
or adjoining like this
mangastyle.net/book2/2-cover.j…

But remember the front and back covers should be two different A4 pieces! Also, we would prefer if the winner is able to supply us with a multi-layered photoshop file of both covers.

If you’re wondering what do for the background think of things you might see at sea (heh) for example ships, sea animals - and of course things like miscellaneous sparkles and fun stuff like that.
