Winter Dragon Art Challenge!
With the cold wind blowing and ice of winter forming I am starting the Winter Dragon Art Challenge.
The Challenge: Create an original work of art that illustrates a "Winter Dragon". Format, medium, and style are completely up to the artist, but the creature should be dragon-like in form and exemplify arctic or winter characteristics.
The Judges: I am greatly honored to have been able to recruit three talented personalities in the fantasy art genre to help judge the winners.
Donato Giancola (artist), Sarah Laichas (Editor of Dracopedia/Impact), and Zoe Robinson (art Director at Fantasy Flight Games. Judges will take creativity, originality and craftsmanship into account.

woconnor@wocstudios.com for consideration. professional and amateur artists will be considered. All nationalities acceptable. please include your name, nationality, medium and size of work, and put "Winter Dragon Challenge" in the subject field. If you wish to have any links attached to your image please include that with your entry as well.
All entries will be posted at DracopediaProject for public viewing and judging. Artists retain all copyrights to the work, and agree to a one-time display of their image on this site unless other arrangements are made in writing.
Due Date: Upload files by 23:59 EST 2/24/13
