Art Contest!
This is a LOOOOOOONG post with lots of info so hang in to the end!
Ok. So here's the deal. I know there are some amazing artists out there (I am NOT one of them) who could draw this picture I've had in my head since i wrote the One. What is this picture you ask? Well, if you haven't read the book it will be spoilery but you can still participate! So here it goes. Ready?
Draw Liam's and Kai's marks! What they would look like on each of their arms, so basically two drawings. What? You haven't read it and have NO idea what I'm talking about? NO PROBLEM!! I will post excerpts from the book that gives the descriptions, as well as additional information about the marks from my currently under-performing noggin.
Oh! You'd like to know what I'm going to do with them? SWAG, BABY!! Particularly temporary tattoos, but it will probably end up on other stuff too (bags, tees, etc...) :)
By now you may be thinking this sounds cool, but drawing something well is a bit time consuming, is there something in it for me?
Well...DUH! I wouldn't ask you to put out this kind of effort and not have some fun goodies for you! As a matter of fact there will be goodies of varying awesome for THREE people.

Phew! That's a lot of stuff, y'all.Now to the rest of the questions:Who picks the winner? I will since I can "see" the drawing in my head. :)What if no one comes close to the pic in your head? Don't be so negative! I'm SURE someone will but if not...hmm...consolation prizes for all entries?How do I submit my drawing? Send as an attachment to authorheatherself @ gmail .com
When is the latest I can email it? Last day to email art is October 31st 11:59pm Central so you have LOTS of time.What format/size/dpi/etc...? Ok here is where my complete lack of graphics knowledge comes in. This is what I DO know: most companies want them at 300dpi and CMYK "ready" whether it is a jpg, pdf, etc... I would need varying sizes depending on the swag ordered so let's say small, medium, and large. :)
What does Liam's Mark look like?"The symbol covered the muscular portion of his forearm*. It was slightly raised, and flesh colored**, almost like a brand. The design was a bevel-edged shield*** with the image of a Viking war hammer**** in the center. There were intricate designs, similar to Celtic eternity knots*****, which covered the hammer’s head and the handle, with the exception of one odd shaped smooth patch of skin in the middle of the handle. It was incredibly beautiful, and I couldn't help but reach out to touch it. I gently ran my fingertips from the top of the shield to the point and as I did his arm heated and the mark shimmered a luminous gold."
Notes:*my forearm is approx 3" @ it's widest so let's assume Liam's is at least 5" wide** for contest purposes for both marks please make them gold, similar to this though black or "flesh" would also be acceptable if you're willing to work with me later for any changes.*** example 1, example 2**** example example 2***** lots of examples of different knots online, please DO NOT use the triquetrabold--Kai's mark would fit into this blank spot like a puzzle piece. Her mark COULD be as complicated as THIS or as simple as THIS
Ok. I think that's it. If you have questions please feel free to ask them on FB or in the comments. If you're wondering about it someone else probably is too so don't be afraid to ask it!
Oh last tiny, sorta legal, thing...by entering this contest you are giving permission for me to use the drawing as I see fit, be it posting online or using it in swag/merchandise/having it tattooed to my face.
Hope that covers everything and THANK YOU!! I can't wait to see what you fabulous artists come up with!
