The Envaryan Chronicles art contest

Filed under: Uncategorized — Justin @ 6:12 pm

The latest project for Rhythmic Symphony, The Envaryan Chronicles: Book 1, is quickly coming together. Now we’d like to give all you visual artists out there a chance to show off your talents.

For those of you who don’t know, The Envaryan Chronicles is an original story we’ve been working on since January (2007) centered on the immortal city of Envarya and two of its inhabitants, Cinder and Dorie. Each chapter has been written in lyrical form and put to music, making each song a chapter, and each album a book.

Now that the music is nearly completed we would like to invite the visual artists to submit illustrations for the completed chapters. We are looking for a plethora of styles and genres, from computer generated to oil pastels and everything in between. When we perform the Envaryan Chronicles (which for now is going to be a live only experience) a small book (like the one you get in a CD) will be available to the concert goer so that s/he can follow along with the story. With each chapter there will be an illustration on the following page, done by artists from all over the world! Each artist will get a recognition blurb in the booklet and on the websites so that due credit is given.

We’ll be posting the chapters over the next several weeks on our deviant art profile for all of you to read, visualize, and even critique if you want (no worries, we’ll like honesty). We’ll be picking our favorite submissions to go with the respective chapters in the booklet, but all submitted art will show up somewhere, whether it’s in the booklet, on the websites, or being showcased at a concert… unless the art is blatantly distasteful (I know, such a relative word), in which case we’ll just save it for ourselves to cherish forever and ever.

So, with that said, please take all submissions to
http://rhythmicsymphony.deviantart.com/
or e-mail them to
rhythmicsymphony@yahoo.com
All submissions are due by October 21, 2007.
Thanks to everyone of you artists for making our lives more colorful!
