I hope Mephisto won't be offended if I answer this question :)
Simas, we decided to limit the drawing to hero-related themes. You can draw a unit if you want. I think many people will draw units :) Regarding drawing multiple units, I think it's possible if they are connected by some common storyline. (so that it's still one drawing, and not several on one sheet)
Regarding the second point: what do you mean by "not from the Heroes universe"? :) If it's some abstract background, then please go ahead. And if you're talking about it needing to look harmonious, then why not?
P.S. We talked to Mephisto in ICQ about the contest. As soon as he has time, he will create a topic in the "Contests" section, where he will post all the information about it, including the participant table. On June 10th (if Mephisto doesn't decide to change anything, after all, he's the organizer), the drawings will be posted, and the contest will begin :)
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
Regarding the second point: what do you mean by "surroundings that are not from the heroes"?
For example, putting a dark sorceress and a vampire in a car or on a motorcycle. Or depicting a monk reciting a prayer to a group of peasants...
Of course, all the heroes will be drawn in the clothes that are typical for them in the game, but in an unusual setting for the game... that's the idea.
Hmm... it seems the number of participants has increased ;) And I've already finished my drawing; I have to wait until mid-July... It's so boring :) Of course, there are still a few minor adjustments to make, and then I can wrap the drawing with dried fish:D No, I'm serious - where should I submit the drawings? Who should I send them to? What stamp and envelope should I use? :) Should I send them via PM or email? Should I sign them or not? Whoever answers all the questions will receive a chocolate medal :) P.S. Oh yes, add another category: "Consolation Prize," so I can at least receive something :)
So back off your rules, Back off your jive! Cause I'm sick of not living, To stay alive, Leave me alone! I'm not asking a lot - I just don't want to be controlled, That's all I want. All I want!
Those who have already created their maps, please send them to Major Whirlwind via email: meleagre@ya.ru. The contest ends on June 15th, i.e., at 00:00, Major Whirlwind can start reviewing and posting them!!! (Those who are late will face a death penalty). I will announce further details! I hope there are enough nominations for everyone!
Archlich, please send the drawing to my email. As soon as the contest starts, I will post all the drawings in one post, number them in a random order, and no one but me will know who drew which drawing, so that the voting is as objective as possible. Of course, someone might guess based on the drawing style, etc., but there's nothing I can do about that. If you want, you can give the drawing a title.
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
OMG... can we keep the signature watermark? And another question: how many drawings are needed? And one more: who is organizing the contest, I don't understand? Mephisto or Vortex?
Organizer: Mephisto. I accept and upload drawings only because I have unlimited internet access, and Mephisto, unfortunately, doesn't, that's all ;)
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
So, dear friends, this morning, I sat down at my computer and went to my favorite forum, and I found a notification about a new private message from a user with the nickname shaddar. I immediately read it. Here is a part of it:
The gist is that Mephisto is currently unable to go online due to a complete lack of time, and therefore he wants you to be the organizer of this contest. If, of course, you have the time and opportunity for it.
If no one objects, I will run the contest. Or, if Mephisto doesn't show up before it starts :)
As soon as I have time, I will create a topic in the "contests" section with a table of participants and other information. I will also add the drawings to the first post on June 10th. Yes, June 10th. If someone doesn't have time, please send me a message on ICQ or write a PM, I can postpone the contest for a few days (no more than 3). Send 1 drawing on a Heroes-themed topic. If you sent a drawing, and later drew another one, and it seems better to you, send it too, but be sure to indicate that you are replacing the first drawing you sent. It is not forbidden to draw units; it is all up to you. The voting rules, as well as the nominations, still need to be considered; they will be published later. Please indicate your nickname on the Heroes forum in the letter, as I don't know you by name, and it is necessary to know the sender.
P.S. So far, only 2 drawings have been sent by two participants: Kitty and Lelya. Next time, I will immediately notify the senders, so if you don't receive a confirmation message in private (let's say within a day, if this is not the last day before the start), then send me a message on ICQ! Anything could have happened. In the worst case, I will accept the drawing via ICQ.
P.P.S. I don't think I forgot anything. :)

Thank you very much, Luchik, for the table! ;) I know nothing about HTML, I wouldn't have been able to create it myself.
I forgot to mention that the participants from whom I have already received a drawing are highlighted with a bold nickname. However, you probably already guessed it :)
I also created a list in the topic, just in case.
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
Participants, please note that the submission period for drawings will soon end. You only have the rest of today and the night of June 10th to submit (or create?) your drawings. So far, there are only 5 drawings, but as many as 10 people have expressed interest in participating! Let's be more active! The more drawings, the more interesting the contest will be ;)
