Colliii Awards Registrations are on!
Permalink   

Hi everyone!
This years online doll competition, the Colliii Awards 2010 is even bigger than last year!
The registrations are now underway and you can find out more about the competition on www.colliii.com You dont have to send your dolls to Germany for the competition as everything is online based.

If you need any help registering to the worlds largest online doll competition then send me a mail to j.carlsson@colliii.com and I would be glad to help, or post it on the website.
All the best!

James

Hi James,

I got the e-mail from the Colliii site and I DO plan to enter one of my babies this year.
As you can see by my avatar... I have a few I"m working on to submit. Just have to decide which one(s). :)
Also, I moved this post from Artist Showcase to Misc Chatter as it belongs more in this catagory. There are no actual pics so it would go here with the link. :)

I think I need to reborn a little more babies before I could ever think of something like that.. besides right now It would be hard for myself to do a sculpt and try and get it finished before deadlines.


I have to much on my plate now!... heres to hoping next year or so..

Not at the moment.... there are lots of awards to be won. Its not always a case of experience but often a question of talent. Its a great way to present your work to a worldwide audience!

I agree! Sometimes even if a baby isn't top notch in painting, it still will win because of background, real life-like set up and accessories, stuff like that will make it look even better. And they only have pics to go by. So all you can do is put in your best work and see what happens. you might be surprised! I don't say that my work is the best but I'm going to enter (if I get one done finally)!! Good luck to you all!

Photography is my downfall, I stil haven't mastered the art of posing. I'll have to try and get it right for Colliii!

Ya, I can understand that one alright! I think my digital camera is only 6 megapixels, not much when I've seen 12+ :(
But I'll do my best.

And good luck to everyone who is entering this year!

I haven't even come close to capturing what they look like on camera. I've tried all sorts of lighting, flash, no flash, and posing....well still working on that one too. Pats right though even the best done babies aren't doing a thing unless they have awesome pics! I guess I'm doomed.

Hey kiddo, you're not doomed! If you are then so are a lot of us. lol
Just do your best. My avatar of my doll heads isn't bad. I heard that if you put up a white sheet and shine your light through it then it difusses the light and makes things look better. I'm going to give it a try. I had to put 2 lamps on them, no flash, but don't point the light "at" them, just kind of away. I had a small window with natural light coming in from above them too.
I thought of having a black background like some artists do for the main full shot pic, then with toys and stuff on a baby blanket for the closer shots. Not sure, not even finished with anyone yet... OH MY!
