Contest Brief

We'll give you $500 to join in on the fun.

Twitter personality John McAfee recently tweeted that he was looking for an artist to do his portrait, Steampunk style. The thread (https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1163482797857619968?s=21) is already full of ideas, but we want to see more! Fast, out-of-the-box, creative artists wanted. We're looking for the most imaginative ways you can combine his image with any mechanical apparatus and Victorian backgrounds. We're talking paintings with metal gears to build his face, part human and part robot, set against castles or dungeons. Feel free to consult other Steampunk looks for inspiration, but the work should be original.

Don't forget to upload your work on social media, and tag:

Facebook: /fansoffreelancer
Instagram: @freelancerofficial
Twitter: @freelancer, @officialmcafee

Sample portraits that can be edited or used as reference are attached. More can be found on Twitter (https://twitter.com/officialmcafee) and John McAfee's other online media accounts.

Make sure you only upload your original work. By submitting your entry, you agree that Freelancer and its affiliates get an unlimited in time, non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use your IP content at any stage during and after the Contest duration.

    Yet another plagiarized entry by user Suleyman A. this time he won a contest that clearly requested ORIGINAL work, but this has nothing original.
    Background #1 is this:

    from original artist Reishin:
    https://www.artstation.com/reishin
    Background #2 is this:

    from original artist sherrae78
    and the main character is this:

      Which is a COPYRIGHTED design from a character called Thaddeus, as explained in this Dailymail article which is the original source of the photo:
      https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4193874/Steampunks-streets-Whitby-festival.html#ixzz4XssmMj5W
      Over those 3 copyrighted and stolen elements the user pasted the face of John McAfee, applied some Photoshop filters with no effort, and that is it.
      Also the contest specified very clearly that the creator must grant all rights and copyright of his creation, well this user can't grant any rights about elements that are not his property and he did not create. Hope he is banned this time, this is disrespectful for the customer and for the other contest participants who sent original work.

    All you guys should know that @Evelyn was harassing me via internet last this week. I've created several tickets and reportings about her but it wasn't enough for her so I sued her today after I learned from my lawyer that I can sue somebody from a different country. She isn't getting of me so sorry about her. I've my source files and screencapture videos ready for the post she claims that I just stole. Sorry about her. I'm trying my best to let her leave me alone. If you wanna see her all insults, harassing sentences and humiliatings just let me know to send a link. I've captured her all insults.

      These are not insults, these are facts. You can't draw, you draw like a 5 year old kid, and that's why your business is about stealing other people artworks. All facts. In this contest was the same, you made your entry by stealing other people, because you can't make something original from scratch, you don't have the skills.

    So, if i read it right by simple submission, (no even by winning), I would transferr all rights to you and make it a royalty-free image? Does not seem right. Please clarify. Thank you.
