Re: Art contest: win some BTC, shape the visual future of Bitcoin gaming.
Is it bad that I've been laughing at this whole thread? 
Seriously though, no artist worth the money is going to go out of there way to make you an extremely nice and detailed drawing for only the 'chance' to win some money what was ever wrong with asking for a portfolio and then picking someone based on that work like you do with any other art based job?

People who have talent will be hired for more projects down the line.
That's the funny thing. Anything "an artist" would have to do is take whatever fantasy-y thing he has in his portfolio, crop it to the requested dimension and - bingo - you've got a valid entry. Then see how things go from there.
