Three Steps to Success

1. Download the template & create your own bottle artwork.

The template will provide you with a rectangular         "skin" outline representing the dimensions         of the actual label that wraps around the bottle.         Place your artwork into the rectangular template.         There is also a side-view of the bottle, which you         may optionally use (in addition to the required         rectangular skin) to show off your artwork on an         actual bottle shape.

Create anything you want using the template so         long as it represents your vision. Your entry         should show the Art Water name in whatever design         or placement you choose.

Helpful tip: The Art Water bottle is clear, meaning         you can play with the transparency for some crazy         layering effects. Now download the template and         start creating!

Download Bottle Template

Upload your Artwork to one of three categories: photography, traditional art and digital art.

Save your artwork as a GIF, JPG or PNG and upload it to deviantART via the buttons below.

Upload Photography Entry Upload Traditional Art Entry Upload Digital Art Entry *The photography category is for any entry in which photography is the dominant medium used and any entry using photomanipulation techniques based on photographs.

Win Awesome Prizes!

Art Water will select a winning entry in each category. Each winner will receive the prize package described below. To win, be sure your entry follows the rules!

Official Rules

There will be one photographer, one digital artist, and one traditional artist chosen to have their designs appear as Art Water bottle labels and sold throughout the United States!

Each artist will receive $1,500 USD, 8,000 deviantART Points, and a one year Premium Membership to deviantART!

Artists will also receive a $0.03 royalty for every bottle that is sold with their design on it. Click here for more information about the royalty.

Water Tutorial

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 10, 2011, 12:22 PM
Oh yeah, that's exactly what I made; a water tutorial!
->link to the tutorial<-
Finally! I haven't made any new tutorials in such a long while, whew! But I think I'll be doing a few during the upcoming year. I've got a whole bunch of great ideas from you guys, and I finally feel like I have the necessary skills to make a couple of those tutorials.

I'll upload the Water Tutorial here on DA too some day, but I've got to wrap it up in a neatly designed little package first, and I have absolutely no inspiration for that right now. It would just end up as something un-inspired and bloopy. Eh, it still might end up as something bloopy , but a little bit of  inspiration would be nice anyways.

Critiques are, of course, welcome in case there's something blurghish going on with the tutorial. Helps me make better tutorials in the future. :3

~

By the by, I bought the worst bag of candy ever a couple of days ago! It's so bad that I still haven't managed to finish it and I'm so disgruntled that I'm actually writing about it here, urrgh. Wine gums with natural flavor, my ass... sure, if the flavor they used was monkey bile.
I think I'll just stick with my two Swedish sweet-hearts from now on: Ahlgrens Bilar and Jordgubbs-Snören! Man, some times I feel like my motto is "never try anything new". Talk about lamest motto ever...







A Redtail's Dream
Published pages: 63
Chapter 2
Updated Weekly

~

I'm not uploading the
pages of my webcomic
"a Redtail's Dream" here
on Deviantart for one simple
reason: that would just lead to my
whole gallery becoming completely
spammed by comic pages, and that
would make kittens sad. After all, 1-2
pages a week accumulates quite a pile of
stuff in a pretty short amount of time. And
we don't want sad kittens, now do we?




    
        

All of these winners will receive the following prizes:

        8,000 deviantART Points | a 1-year Premium Membership to deviantART

    
         
    
        

Picture Lake

Pure, classic, clean photography with a modern twist is what this is all about for me. I love the reflection of the clouds in the water at the base of the bottle.

    
    
         
    
        

Tasty Tasty Art Water

I love how the monsters and creatures are having a good time swimming in the water, but the robots are hiding under the umbrella extremely nervous.

    
    
        
    
        

Good Vibration - Art Water

This really takes me back to a love story setting at the end of a very well designed video game where you just saved the princess and the credits are just beginning to roll.

Feature for donors who donates before contest started:

Hid WithinJaded faded
Hated and tainted
Distraught and destroyed
Hurt I have no comfort

Infested
Congested
Torn to pieces
Without reasons

Delicate emotions
In so many contortions
Twisted ways
Of hurt and rage

Crying and dying
Fighting and hiding
Broken and ripped
Heart all chipped

Don't know how to go on
Feel like I'm gone
Disappeared and full of fear
With eyes raining tears
:thumb142678954: :thumb138438888:
