Contest Time!

Tue Dec 13, 2011, 12:20 AM
Ok I promised this was coming and here we go.


Rules:
No frankendolling/art theft
Free base (you can choose any one you like)
Credit
You know the standards.

Prizes:
1st place - 3 mo sub
2nd place - 1 mo sub
3rd place - 500 points

Specifics of the Contest:
I warned this would be difficult and it will be. Free theme, meaning you can choose whatever to doll if you want to doll an alien or Amazonian warrior chick go for it. However there is a CATCH.

You can only use 10 colors. Base and all excluding transparency. So yes there will be reshading. You are free to build your palette anyway you choose. By colors I don't mean you choose the color pink and you get to use all the shades in between. Literally 10 colors for the entire doll. You will recycle colors and I encourage that! So theoretically this is a constricted palette challenge but you get to build your own palette.

How to enter and judging:
I totally forgot to post this originally.
Upload the doll to dA and I will favorite it to a special folder. Judging will be a three parter. Lol kind of like the BCS polls but not as dumb. I will have a public poll, my personal judgement, and a consulted panel of judges. I am doing it this way to keep it fair and prevent vote skewing, meaning someone bombarding the poll instead of voting properly. Judging panel will have guidelines they will judge on to prevent "favoritism." And I will weigh my selections against both of those. All of which should provide for a fair chance for everyone. :)

So good luck and you may now begin.
Deadline: January 15th- may be subject to change.

I believe I may just try this just to challenge myself! I use way too many colors in most of my pixel works, but this sounds like it should be an interesting endeavor. xD

Yes the colors in the base count toward that think of pieces like these [link] [link] [link]
Just the idea of reusing and picking colors that can have multiple uses.
