I have two entries. Both are in 2B pencil because my only device is a 3.2 inch LG Optimus V that is impossible to draw on. Plus I'm much better on a piece of paper.
The first was inspired by the recent landing on Mars and the hope that someday we will reach even more planets (like the moon of Saturn depicted here). Lloyd is landing on it using a parachute while Saturn is in the background.
I scanned it into my computer and tried to fix the color of the scanned-in image to be as close to the original as possible (which is hard with graphite).
This second one was inspired by the famous shot of the marines planting the flag on Iwo Jima, again this was done with a graphite pencil.
For comparison (and for those who don't know what photograph I'm referring to).
Now, reasons why I need the Note 10.1
- I am a sophomore engineering student, so gadgets are one of my main interests
- my only device is a 3.2 inch LG Optimus V with a tiny 600 MHz processor
- I don't own a laptop either so I have to rely on computers at school and my dad's computer at home to do my work
- having a tablet would be a huge asset to bring to class this fall since I don't have anything comparable to use.
- unlike a lot of posters here in this contest, I'm a very active member of AC, so you'd definitely see me around
- I'm also an amateur developer ("A.C.R. Development (team DHoT)" on Google Play) that makes themes and root tools... a galaxy note 10.1 would help me develop since developing on my only device has its drawbacks (I can't really use my device for its intended purpose when I'm debugging apps).
Thanks for this opportunity AC
