Contest Week 53: Shock Art *Two week contest.

Your goal these next two weeks is to make shock art. There are many types of art that fall under "shock art", so this contest will be very open. When coming up with an idea for this contest, consider what is shocking and why. Remember to consider your 2Draw audience, some members are shocked easier than others, so try to think "universal shock". What ideas are controversial? What images make people cringe? What ideas/images evoke hysteria and mob mentalities? I realize this could evoke some negativity and inappropriate images, so just to be sure, please rate your work +18 if you enter this contest. And remember, you don't have to believe in or support the image you draw, the idea is to shock, not express your personal beliefs. If you want to add a disclaimer to your image, that's perfectly fine. Don't forget that you'll be judged on quality as well, making your piece shocking is one of the three main criteria listed below. Have fun. :)

Contest Week 53 will be open for entries from Sunday May 27th, to, Saturday June 9th, 11:59 AM PST.

Hunter: Actually, a little fuzzy bunny told me the idea. The bunny is also my accountant, we all know how bunnies and numbers are a match made in heaven, it's not just a stereotype.

so... i don't know if I got this right but.... if I draw to this contest, do I have to rate my painting 18+ or is it just if it's too shocking.

Place your bets, I got $300 riding on axil here with a 10-1 chance, lets hope Xod doesnt come back too quick after a long dissapearance from every oekaki, and steals first place.

Nice idea klox's bunny.

Please someone else do something horrible in this contest before i do. If you do you'll have a good challenger. I'm almost afraid of what i'll draw being so horrid it'll put me in a coma. Years of internet use has made it virtually impossible to disgust or shock me. My mind is riddled with horrifying images that I'd rather not draw unless I've got some good competition. Plus, there's no fun in wining a contest when you're the only entrant. Don't be pussies people.

Expendable-Studios: I'd much rather see what the other members come up with. XOD always drew shocking images, shock art wouldn't be all that new for him or difficult. Also, this contest isn't just for people who draw gross images, there is more to what is "shocking" than just gore and porn. I want to see what others find shocking, not just what we're all told to find shocking.
