Fantasy Series: Children's Stories

Forget the dystopias and nuclear wastelands. Skip past the lands filled with half-dressed damsels and blood-soaked warriors. This contest is strictly for the kids.

Some of the greatest fantasy worlds come to us from children's literature. From Narnia to Neverland, between Hogwarts and Oz, the coolest scenes seem to be where the Wild Things are. In this contest, we're asking you to construct a scene from children's fantasy -- it can be a recreation of your favorite bedtime story, or a new image of your own design. It can be realistic and evocative like the forests of the Dark Crystal, or wacky and whimsical like a Seuss scene.

As fantasy art is rarely photographic in nature all images are "to be judged on consistent style not necessarily photorealism," the goal of the contest is to create cool art, not a hoax. Please, do not use existing fantasy art sources!

Have fun, keep it clean, be creative. Don't forget the cliché list. As always, quality is a must. We will remove poor entries no matter how much we like you. You'll have 48 hours for this contest, so make your submission count.
