Idea for a skin contest
#1
Posted 24 September 2012 - 07:55 AM
Okay, so, my idea was, hold a human/pony skin contest where at the end of each round the winner of that round gets to choose the next theme, and gets to decide the champion of that round. That champion then becomes the leader of the next round, and so forth.
The only rules would be that the leader of a round cannot compete in their round. They can, however, compete in any round after that. Also, and this choice is dependant on everyone's idea, there may be a restriction on the amount of times people can be a leader. The final rule is that each round is a different kind of skin (Meaning "Human, then pony, then human, then pony) to mix up the competition a little and get people out of their skinning comfort zones.
So leave a comment on what you think, if you think any other rules need to be added, and if you think you would be interested.
And as always, have nice day.

Also, what are they going to make skins of? So so many have been made already, I challenge you to find me one canon pony with a good colour reference that hasn't been made into a skin.

Firstly, I choose a theme for the first round, and judge the entries submitted.
^ The winner of that round ^ gets to pick the next theme and judges that round.
Rounds rotate in this fashion: Pony skin, Human skin, Pony skin, human skin and so forth, to get the skinners a little out of their comfort zones.

This still isn't decided yet because I'm still unsure on the number of people competing. This thread isn't so much as an announcement of the contest, more of a test to see if anyone would be interested. From the number of positive responses so far I feel that I will probably go through with the contest.
time limit could be like a day. Since I know some people need that long, or longer. but to test them you give them a day.

Yeah, I guess saying the competition is like this but with skins is accurate.

Rules
Each round lasts 1 day, (This is one I'm unsure of, because I want it to be challenging but not impossible)
Every second round is a Human skin round, to get people out of their skinning comfort zones
Round themes (Not type of skin) can be whatever the round leader wants, but it must adhere to the above rules.
Themes can range from "Make a Halloween-themed skin" to specific things like "Make a skin of Zero from Borderlands 2". In the Halloween round, you would make a skin of something relating to Halloween. In the Zero round you would make Zero, as he looks in Borderlands.
You must post a picture of a skin as it looks ingame (I'm not sure if they should have to post the .png, because some people might want to not publicly release their great skins). The round leader probably doesn't want to have to go ingame and test every skin out to see what they look like.
This is a first draft of the rules, and I'm posting them for you to give your opinions on what might need changing, or even rules that I might want to add.

1 day is too short. Some skinners can do their skins really quickly, especially if they're simple. The time limit should be set by the person setting the task, and they should be able to decide a limit of up to 3 days or summit.
1 day is more than enough time. I know one skinner who takes more than a day to make one skin, Because he make Extremely HD skins. Another rule should be that you are NOT allowed to do HD skins period, They just don't seem to come out right and they give you more to work with. Part of a skinning challenge is giving you as little to work with and doing the most with it.

Hmm, I guess. I still think three days is too long.
