Finally the moment you've all been waiting for, i would like to announce the First prize Winner. This artist had all of the compositions in a true art piece. The lines were set by angle (though i would make one small suggestion) but for the medium/style it may be a bit more difficult to achieve which is understandable. The piece in general had no flaws. The shading of the surrounding scene was there as well as he depth and detail of question. I would like to Congratulate *Kuroikii on winning 1st prize in this contest. You can view the piece here:
kuroikii.deviantart.com/art/In…You win a deviantart subscription for 6 months & your choice of a 50 dollar amazon card or any animal from Squishables.com up to 50 dollars.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: CONTEST ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Show me your interpretation the following scene in your own style. Be sure to research city street views, anatomy, and other visuals for reference.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I was walking in San Francisco off of Powell Street with a couple of friends one summer day.
We were heading up the block when we saw a shabby homeless man sitting hunched over on a blanket in front of one of the shops. He did not hold the customary cardboard sign as most do, nor did he pay much attention to the passing people. He was, as many in the city, ill and you could see just with how he held himself.
It wasn’t an unusual site, but this particular site seemed special.
A little girl walked in front of us with her parents. She stopped at the homeless man and pulled out her little pink children’s wallet. Her parents took a few paces and stopped and waited for her, watching.
The little girl tilted her wallet into her hand, her small fingers gripping it as she shook out all of her change from it. The homeless man neither looked up nor acknowledged her until the little girl held her fist full of change for him. The man’s face raised and he looked at the girl in what seemed an almost ethereal gratitude as the girl dropped all the money she had into the mans withered hands. The man thanked her and the girl put her wallet away and skipped off back to her parents to continue walking. She must have been only 8.
My friends and I who had witnessed this had stopped dead in the side walk shocked. Never have we seen such kindness expressed in such a simple manner. In the big city things were often rough and most people were ignored as others thought of themselves to survive, but this girl with such innocence had done what most might not even think of, nor bother with if they had thought of it. It was an inspiring gesture that still gives hope to many and in its own way quite beautiful.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This contest is for someone to recreate this scene in there vision. What do you see when you hear of such a thing? Do you see it as saddening? Inspirational? Moving?
Can you grasp the emotion of the aspects of these actions? A scene from a movie never made?
Draw your interpretation of the scene, and win a prize.
There will be 2 ways of judging for this contest.
What is the most Moving and what is the most Creative.
The idea is to make the viewer feel the emotion and know exactly what is taking place. Make someone cry with happiness and sadness or some emotional response to the scene.
Any Medium is acceptable, even sculptures, and writing. I have a minor writer block at the moment so if you could recreate the story into something wonderful even that’s acceptable. You have permission to do so.
