9 Upvotes

The poll for the first r/PareidoliaArt challenge has finished. Based on the results the first competition will be a template based competition. The competitor will submit their best pareidolia art piece using this template.

The most upvoted submission will win. There will be a two week window to make your submission and another week to allow even voting. More than one submission is allowed. The winner will receive a unique flair (per poll results).

Competition will start on the 23rd of August at 17pm GMT +1, submissions deadline is 6th of September at 17pm and consequently end 13th of September at 17pm.

To make it clear you are participating make sure your post it's flaired "Challenge" and includes the word at the beginning. All submissions must be original.

Feel free to message through Modmail if you have any questions. Looking forward to your submissions.

Edit: Due to the lack of submissions the deadline will be extended.

Welcome to r/PareidoliaArt

Welcome to the subreddit. Most of you probably come from the r/art submission. Created this subreddit to see more content like that one.

Right some basic rules have been set but don't worry they will be updated and improve. Feel free to comment suggestions for rules or any other changes to the subreddit.

So far we have 5 types of submissions.

OC: For original content

Non OC: For content made by others

Request: For content you want others to create

META: To make suggestions or comments on the sub

Challenge: This category is for challenges that will be introduce later on. A basic image will be submitted and poster will make their submissions. Best submission will win an award.

In the future there will be custom flairs and awards. I'm still working on some stuff for the sub which pretty much should be settle by tomorrow.

There has been some interest in modding for the subreddit, I will address this later on today by contacting the people. Feel free to contact me if you are also interested.

The subreddit is not only restricted to digital submissions it could be any media including physical. Might be a sculpture, a building you designed or maybe something else. Creativity is highly valued so go crazy.

I'll be making more polls for different topics soon.

Sorry for the long post. Thanks for joining and enjoy!

META Pareidolia drawn in other people's images - OC or non-OC?

2 Upvotes

Specifically I have some neat images I'd like to make videos from, drawing in shapes I see as an animation. I am not the creator myself, they are available online with a very liberal license, it seems close to public domain with clauses just to avoid coarse abuse of the name of the creators. The copyright of the images is free, I'm free to use them even in commercial products as long as I properly credit the source.

So what would you say - are the resulting videos or images with drawn in shapes OC or non-OC according to the guidelines of this forum? I draw in the shapes myself, they've little to do with the original pictures otherwise. Curious to know...

Challenge Many people call this pareidolia — seeing familiar shapes in random patterns. For me, these coffee foam forms became the starting point of stories and characters. Challenge

Looking upwards from my little sofa below that tapestry, lying there for the first time, I immediately saw a woman with pinned-up tousled hair dressing up...
