April Challenge: Alternative Professions!

(example art by Katzensprotte)

~Ends April 30th~

PLEASE READ ALL THE RULES BEFORE BEGINNING!

Our challenge for April is to imagine Sherlock characters in alternative professions to their usual canon profession! You can choose any character or characters in Sherlock (any version, BBC, RDJ, etc) for the challenge.

You could do a profession swap with another character or give the character an entirely different profession. You could use your profession or dream profession as a guide or choose something you think suits the personality of the character you choose.

Entries can feature one character or a number of different characters (if multiple professions and characters fit into one scene).

Entries should include a scene of the character engaging in their profession rather than characters simply in a uniform etc (especially if the profession depicted doesn't have a highly stylized / recognizable profession).  

Before starting on your piece, please read the full guidelines under the read more.

-Obviously entries of the same professions are fine.



-You can include any pairing, any rating, any version of Sherlock. If your artwork is explicit it’d be appreciated if you could put it under a preview or read more. We’re very flexible on content.



-You can submit art (drawn/painted/etc), graphics/photo manips, cosplay, photography, or crafts. Photo manips should alter at least 50% of the original image to qualify (meaning you can’t just paste a face onto a photo). If your image happens to have fic attached to it, that's great, but we will not be accepting purely fic submissions this time around.



-We aren’t critical of quality! Whether you choose to push yourself and make something elaborate, or only have an hour or so and just want to participate, we love everything we get! Also, don’t put your work down in your comments!


-Please create new art! We feel it’s missing the point of the challenge to accept old works. However, if in the past you've created a Sherlock in your culture, already, then feel free to submit new art of your old concept.


-Limit of submissions: max 2.


-How to submit: post it to your blog. Tag it “letsdrawsherlock" within the first five tags (you must do this when you post; if you edit in the tag later it generally doesn't appear under the tag listing). You can also send us your post ID via askbox.



WRITERS



A reminder about our buddy group: Let’s Write Sherlock!!! This group is run by a different set of people, so the challenges will not be the same, but they update much more often than we do! Feel free to enter both!
