Yay, we've finally reached the voting/judging part! It's really surprising to
see lots of entries, cause I really thought the theme is odd and funny. And I'd
say most of the vectors are really great and stunning, so congrats to all the
participants!
Lemme go straight with this, you are allowed to vote for your favourite entries
until July 10th. Votings should be done
here, in this thread and you need to vote for two entries in each
category. Of course, you are not allowed to vote for your own entries.
For the judges, please send your judging result to Kashi before July 10th. The judging
will be based on these criteria :
Respect of theme : combination of scans (5)
Originality/Creativity : scan modification (5)
Technique : usage of allowed techniques (5)
Presentation : overall aesthetics, composition and background (5)
Quote by akari-chani have a question,
am i supposed to pm a mod my entry? right now i just put it on the guestbook and
don't see it up there with the other entries.
No, you don't need to pm any mod. It takes awhile for me
to add the entry to the page sometimes, but I think someone has put it up there
now.
No, it's not against the rules. Since guys with long hair don't actually mean or
look like girls. In fact, it's recommended to change or add things like that.
Because of the lack of entries, especially in the Crossdressing category, we
have decided to extend the deadline for the Chimaera/Crossdressing Contest to
June 20th. Check the announcement
thread if you haven't and read the rules carefully, because you might lose
marks on certain aspects.
Feel free to ask any questions about the contest here, and I just want to
emphasize this - we seriously need more
Crossdressing entries.
Edit June 20:
The deadline has been extended again to Tues July 1st, to give people more time
to finish their entries. So please get them in by July 1st if you want to enter,
because it's probably the last time we'll extend the deadline
Quote by Isis-chan only see a
small-size image and to see in real size I need to "click on download
button". But, there is no one download button... (when I click on image to
download on full-size, the smaller one appears.)
The
"Download" link is on the left menu of the page.
Quote by sakuralsYou are saying that to
enter in the contest we must make a vector of a person who dress the oposite sex
dress? for example, Sakura-chan wearing Syaoran-kun'd outfit?
i'm right?
Yes, and that is only for the Crossdressing
section.
Quote by dslasseyInstead of using two
scans, could I use a scan and then a fanart? For instance, I was thinking of
hand drawing a dress on a guy while vectoring. But then I wanted to include some
chibi drawings by my brother (assuming he helps me) into the background of the
wallpaper. Would that be okay?
That would be fine.
Quote by chrispi have one question..is it
ok if i try to draw the dress or the boys or the clothers for the girls? well if
i can't find a good scan in the i-net?
Yes, you may draw and
vector the dress/clothes (or other parts) if you want.
Just to make everyone sure that the main purpose of this theme is to explore
creativity and originality in your vectors.
Btw, I've discussed with Maple about the use of only fanarts (without combining
them), concluded that you are allowed to do so. However, you may only vector
your drawing, in this case. I hope Kashi
will agree with this. ^^;
Quote by DarthTofuBut question: Since
fanart is okay, then can it be our own fanart? :p
Sure, but
you need to combine them as well and show us the fanart(s) you've used in your
entry. The rules are basically similar for the scan one. You can, for example,
draw at least two characters (perhaps with the same pose, it doesn't have to be
a complete full-body drawing anyway) and then combine both of them in a single
piece.
Quote by Sakura-DustI have a question
too.
Is it a must to have two images? What if
I find what I need in just one image without having to combine
them?
Let's just say - combine at least 2 characters and make
it one. So, it can either be from one
Couple/Group scan, or simply from at
least two different scans.
Yes, you should post the ongoing vector to get the feedback. Please use either
link or thumbnail to the full-sized image. I'll move this to The Sandbox, since
it's your work-in-progress.
Quote by rosebusyrosegaara, where's
your truths and lie?
Okay, okay. I'll post them. Not because of you, just because I'm one of the regular participants.
+ I used my favourite colour(s) (which isn't purple) in both of my collabed
walls.
+ I love textures, so both of my collabed walls have textures.
+ One of my collabed walls contains vectored materials, while the other one does
not.
Quote: it's quite inconveniant
looking through every page without jumping through
them
Actually, you can jump to which page you want, by using
the browsing option on the left side. Change the number of page, and click
"update". Though it's abit of a slower process compared to the old
one, where you can just click on the numbers given.
The first wallpaper needs some more works, especially since it's from a
screenshot. I assume you didn't vector/repaint the screenshot, since it looks
blurry, low quality and like have been enlarged. You can try vectoring it, there
are some tutorials you could check at , or maybe use some painting techniques (I'd suggest check for tutorials). I don't know if the background looks
good, but it looks like a simple use of brushes or pattern. That's also the
reason why it got deleted. I'd suggest to have the screenshot vectored first,
then you may try working with some textures or patterns, blend them with the
vector. It could be as simple as that, or if you have any clear ideas on the
background, it's up to you.
The second one, the scan and the background itself look heavily pixelated and
low in quality.The scan has extraction problems, especially the white edges that
are still visible. Clean the scan first, or even, vector it. The background is
only made using filters, I would suggest you to not use it cause it will
normally get deleted. Try different background, maybe something minimalistic can
be good.
What? Maple didn't win? That's kinda.. odd.
I guess it's my turn now..
+ I didn't use texture in my wall(s)
+ I vectored (all) the character(s) in my wall(s)
+ My wall(s) features clouds

I hope I made myself clear. And I hope you guys will vote wisely.
Gradients are fine, but filters/effects are not allowed for this contest. But don't worry if you break that rules, we still accept the entries.
To submit your entry, you just need to link your entry in the group's guestbook.
I think you can just use this link instead : https://sites.google.com/site/mt-whichwaller/archive/round-6
Because MT doesn't allow western art, that's all. Some might get overlooked though...
No, you don't need to pm any mod. It takes awhile for me to add the entry to the page sometimes, but I think someone has put it up there now.

Yay! Finally! I hope I can come up with something, at least...
Just upload your vector at Imageshack/Photobucket, etc and copy and paste whichever code into your post.

I phail this time! Yay! >__<
Oh yeah, can't wait for Round 6! =)
I hardly recognize one of Myrrhlynn's walls and abul's as well. Congrats Rose, for beating me again. >__>
Anyway, a great round, and I'm looking forward the entries and also Round 5!
Okay, okay. I'll post them.
