Realistic: Event Rules How to participate: Create and submit a Realism Challenge entry that matches the event theme in a realistic style. What is "realistic"? "Realistic" is an artistic style that uses the real world as a base, seeking a sense of authenticity and life in its lighting, color and texture. Your work doesn't have to be a photograph, but it should look like it could realistically exist. Our primary standard is to judge whether the overall artistic "style" of the submitted work falls into the "Realism" category, meaning we judge based on the work's artistic movement affiliation, rather than its physical accuracy. To encourage creative realistic works, some creative ideas are allowed if the style remains realistic, such as real characters floating in the air or walking underwater. What to focus on: •Characters: A real-life person, such as a young man playing the guitar on a street corner, or a woman working in an office. •Scenes: A real-world setting, such as a neon-lit street corner after a rain, or a sunlit old bookstore. •Objects: Still life with realistic texture, such as a wooden fruit bowl or an old leather notebook. What to avoid: •Fantasy Elements: No sci-fi props, wings, magic, or overly exaggerated otherworldly creatures are allowed. •Cartoon styles: Manga, anime, chibi or any highly stylized look. •Abstract art: concepts or images that do not reflect realistic forms. •2.5D Style: Works with an illustrative, game rendered or flattened 3D feel.
