[SIZE="5"][COLOR="darkorchid"]Mabination Fanart Contest[/SIZE]
Yup, it's the official fanart contest!~
This event starts right now, and you'll be able to submit your entries until midnight PST, September 25th. We know you have a lot going on with school, so it's a fairly long contest period.
Before we do anything, here are some ground rules.
If you are planning to enter, please read all the rules.
[SIZE="4"]Entry[/SIZE]
- Your entries are supposed to be PM'd to me if you want them to remain hidden until the voting begins. Entries can also be posted here in this thread.
- A watermark/signature on the picture isn't mandatory, but your name will be displayed with the drawing during voting.
- The entry can be in digital or traditional forms, but must be a drawing of some sort. (no dioramas or models or anything like that)
- Digital entries must be in a picture file format (no photoshop or .sai files)
- Traditional entries can be scanned. If you don't have a scanner, feel free to take photos of it. You may take more than one photo and zoom in if you please, but make sure the whole image is displayed in no more than 5 photos.
- Colouring is optional, but strongly recommended.
- The contest will only proceed if 10 or more people enter. If you cannot finish your entry in time and there aren't enough people, we will extend the end date.
- Late entries will not be accepted since the judging has been replaced by voting by the community, so make sure you have your entries in!~
[SIZE="4"]Voting[/SIZE]
- The poll will be put up on Sunday, September 26th, and will stay up until midnight, October 1st. (that's less than a week, so don't forget to support your favourite drawing!)
- You must have at least 30 posts to vote.
When you are voting, please consider the following: - this is also helpful for entering :)
Form - lineart, sketch, frame, proportions etc
Relevance to theme - this is important!
Shading/colouring - depth, smoothness, choice of colour (if coloured)
Neatness - this speaks for itself. Try to have the focus of the picture clear.
Creativity - goes for miles!
And finally, the good stuff~
[SIZE="4"]Prizes![/SIZE]
Jihui and I are both supplying 10k nx as prizes for the winners~
There are three winners. First, second, and third, of course.
This may get a little complicated~
First place gets 10k nx, of course.
All three winners receive the default prize, which is a custom pet (which is a secret until the poll is released), and 10k nation gold.
Here are the optional prizes:
- A custom username colour of your choice
- A title bar like the mods and admins, but smaller and less awesome (doesn't make it any less special :> ) You can choose the colour and general theme.
- 25k nation gold to satisfy all your pet needs.
1st place will choose one from the three.
2nd place will choose one from the two that weren't picked.
3rd place gets what's left.
There's another 10k nx up for grabs here!
A raffle! Whoever enters the contest (with a serious entry. Don't draw something up in paint just for a chance to win nx) will get one raffle ticket. The ticket number will be randomly generated at the end of the voting and the winner will get 10k nx! This way, you don't have to be an amazing artist to win something here.
[SIZE="4"]The Theme[/SIZE]
The theme (it's mandatory), is "Back to school for Mabination!"
You may represent this theme in any fashion you want, get creative!
The workings of the contest are still being adjusted, so don't be surprised to see changes before the end.[/COLOR]
