Welcome to the Fan Art Competition (FAC).

If your unfamiliar with FAC then please refer to the next post that contains all rules and regulations.

As you know the winner of last months FAC gets the privilege of choosing this month's theme.


PM me all entries by:
October 27th

Alright! Lets get started!

[OA]

FAQ

What is the Fan Art Competition?
The Fan Art Competition is a monthly event where artists create some form of art based on a certain theme.

What is the theme?
The theme is decided by the winner of the previous months competition and must be video game related.

What if I don't know much about the theme?
Information resources are provided in the first post of the thread.

Who can submit art?
Anyone

What are my restrictions?
You are allowed to submit one entry, but other than that there are no restrictions. There are no size, quality, image size restrictions.

Who decides the winner?
OCR of course, the whole community votes on it.

How does voting work?
On the day after the deadline I will make a post that displays all of the art submitted. Then users will be allowed to see every entry and decide which three they like the best, in order. Afterwhich they will send me a PM with their vote and maybe a few comments about the contest. They must do so in the announced voting period. If not then they fail at voting.

When and how do we see the results?
After the voting period is over I will count the results and figure out which peice has the most points. When voting the voter sends in their top three favorite peices. The one they like the most is worth 3 points, the second 2 points and the third 1 point.

If I enter the contest can I vote?
Yes, and voting for yourself is allowed if you REALLY wanna.

Once the points have been counted I will send a happy PM to the winner that tells them that they one and explains how they are to choose the next months theme. *deep breath* Once I get a PM back I will post the results and artists choice for the next months theme.

Rules and Regulations!
1) Any art submitted must be based off of the months theme.
2) No P0rn.
3) Your entry must be created within the month. It cannot have been something you've created in the past or partially finished prior to the announcement of the theme.
4) All entries must be 100% your work. Simply altering something created by someone else may be cool, but is not allowed as an entry.

[Rambo]

Yay! Thanks man.
I'm ashamed as a gamer to say that I've never played a Chrono game. I really wish I could get my hands on a cartridge or they'd release for VC.... because I refuse to play a ROM of it.

You can bet your ass I'll get an entry in regardless. Great starting choice by the way.

[atmuh]

hey here it is
well have fun guys
ill be around

[Ninja-san]

Hell Yes!!!!!

[Vilecat]

Is it really by October 27th?

If i stop being a lazy ass, since it's only the beginning of school (takes me ages to unpack), i might enter. I truly have no idae what i'd do.

I'll probably end up doing doodlez like the lasat few times, haha

[OA]

Yep, 2 month deadline, I am assuming that no one is going to use all 2 months to create something uber, everyone will probably just have a large window to get their art in, and that's fine by me.

[The Phalanx]

They DID release it on the PS1, y'know. Same game, but with a new game+ added to it and slower combat loading times. Oh god the loading time...

How bout a sculpture? Got the idea in mind and being back at college i can get it done :)

As long as it's fan-made art stuff, it works for the compo ;)



Oh, and i JUST got my graphic tablet this afternoon, so i have one less reason to not enter this. I just wish i'd still have my PS2, i don't feel like trying to get a PS emu running on my comp just to start the game all over again. But i told my sis she could enjoy GH2 more this semester.

Now what to do...

[OA]

New game + was in the original SNES version. Actually, to my knowledge, it was the first game that had that sort of feature.

and yeah, the load times were abysmally bad. Made it unplayable IMO. ;_;

as long as it's Chrono peepz, any medium is fine. :-)

[friendlyHunter]

I've never played the game, but I'm curious: what is this "new game +"?

I think I'm gonna do something a little less art-ish this time... maybe make a fake movie poster or something. Looking at a few "photoshop phriday" things yesterday must have inspired me ^_^

[Polo]

^ The "New Game +" feature is activated after you beat Chrono Trigger once. You start at the beginning with all your high stats, weapons, and armor when you last fought Lavos. That way you can trounce the parasite earlier and get a different ending. ;-)

Also, I'm entering this one. Two full months = good for business.

[Rambo]

really? I never heard of that. I <3 cartridges for their load time. ;-) And for their aesthetics! But mostly the minimal load time.
Anyway, thanks for the info.

[Vilecat]

Actually i think there were some other games before that had he New Game+ feature, but CT was the first to really exploit it and make it worthwile. And the PS version has bonus stuff unlocking after each ending, the only reason you'd agree to tolerate all the loadings. I don't remember well, but i think there are 26 different endings in all, including Game Over scene.

[Rambo]

Actually i think there were some other games before that had he New Game+ feature

Yeah, when someone said that I immediately thought of SMB3 where if you don't turn off the game you restart with your inventory maxed out in P-wings. Also, in CV3 you restart with the partner you ended with instead of alone. But yeah, like you said, from what I hear it's nothing compared to what they did with it in Chrono Trigger.

[Ramaniscence]

Finally, all those years of drawing DBZ will finally be paying off :ooooooooooo

I'm takin' this one all the way home.

[atmuh]

good luck in a forum in the middle of nowhere

[friendlyHunter]

Yeah, where IS this place?

wait - work...space? I see.

[OA]

it's more visible than the sub forum previously, lets see how it works.

[friendlyHunter]

Anyone here good at 3D modeling? I've got an idea that'll blow your mind. Or, at least it is kind of good. Maybe...

[Ramaniscence]

For a still shot with the right reference images? I could do it no probablo. I mean...else I hope I could. I'm done with all my modelling classes =P.

[Nex]

So I can create any type of art based off the theme "Chrono Trigger"? I'm totally in :)

Yay more peoples. 8)

Whooo! I'm debating between realistic 3D or a painting. Any suggestions?

[Rambo]

Whooo! I'm debating between realistic 3D or a painting. Any suggestions? What kind of paint/style would you use? I'd really like to see a painting. Though either would be nice, as there haven't been many. As for source material suggestions... I'm still researching the game. :sad:

[2Radical]

I might be up for this... it has been awhile since I opened photoshop though, anyways .. do I pm the work once its done to the host , or just post it in this thread...? is it oke for members to post maybe Thumbs or WIPs just for fun..*taunting*:P

And as long as I've been checking out this competition people have been showing WIPs in the thread, so that should be cool too. Once again, Yay more peoples. 8)

PRACTICE. PRACTICE. PRACTICE.

Need to get that Toriyama flame back >_<

Also: lol @ rule of thirds

Possibly the best proportions I've ever done :o

Not even gonna lie...that Magus concept may outshine my ENTIRE final work (as...it likely won't be in it at all).

MORE PRACTICE NOW.

[OA]

i've started on my BG, I kindof like the idea I had last time of redrawing parts of the game itself, so it's going a top down style drawing; it's the area in chrono trigger where those bird throw rocks at you (getting the masamune? it's been so long im not sure)

Whoa! :O That's pretty damn nice!
You could totally do an image I want! Do you take cash? ;)

[OA]

Just finish your remix to it's full potential. :-)

Just check the wip thread more often! :) I think it's updated since you last wrote O.o

more WIP-zing

[friendlyHunter]

Just giving this a bump. I'm glad to say that this time I have an idea for a piece that I'll actually be able to finish :]

[atmuh]

wow moving this to this back end of the forums really helped a lot
interest is booming!

[atmuh]

week with no posts

[OA]

atma, seriously, it's the FAC. time to move on.

[atmuh]

haw haw

[friendlyHunter]

Bump. How on earth is "Chrono" pronounced?

[OA]

probably just like Crono, or Krono. :-D about a month left everyone, hope we get some beautiful entries!

[friendlyHunter]

Yes, but how are the O's pronounced? Does it rhyme with "oh no", or is it like "krone - ah", "krawn - oh", or "krawn - aw" (like in "chronological"). Yes, this is related to my entry in some strange twisted way. Don't ask ^_^

[OA]

might depend on where you are from. Here in minnesota it'd be kr-oh-no.

yasure youbetcha.

[friendlyHunter]

Yep, that's how I've always pronounced it too. Though it's not a word I say often... or, um, ever =p

[friendlyHunter]

....Half a month left....

[friendlyHunter]

In a futile attempt to revive the contest, I've finally removed the outdated "July is Konami" line from my signature, and replaced it with incoherent ramblings. Will you do YOUR part too?!


Well, time to start my entry finally =D

VICTORY!

But no seriously, had I thought about it when I started my project, I would've just done the fair rather than the ShinRa building (http://www.thasauce.net/dougarley/3d/710_dArley_shinraLobby.png) for my project this month D:

[2Radical]

my entry

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j194/LucidDesigns/luminaire.png

[friendlyHunter]

Nice! Once again I'm bested by superior art, and superior etch-a-sketchry... I'll just have to hope that my crazy gimmick is crazy and gimmicky enough to win some votes =p

[friendlyHunter]

The contest ends at the END of today, right? I'm almost done my entry...

[Edit]
Damn, drawing Crono is a LOT harder than it looks - I've found new respect for the artists for Dragon Ball Z. I wonder how many man-hours it takes to make an entire episode? Regardless, my entry should be done in a couple hours. ...OA, you around?

[friendlyHunter]

Voting start today? I'm curious to see how many entries this time.

[OA]

entries posted; check em out.

[friendlyHunter]

4 posts in a row without anyone caring, it's a new record! Don't you just love the contest subforum?? :puppyeyes:

I thought I'd post my entry, maybe it'll help generate some discussion...

http://img451.imageshack.us/img451/287/chronoboxfinalfq0.png

[OA]

one more day for votes.

[OA]

votes be done, yar!

[friendlyHunter]

Hope I'm not the only one who votes! ><

1st - LAOS
2nd - 2Radical
3rd - Rama


...or maybe I do because LAOS would probably choose a good theme...?
sorry dude, you were the only one who voted.

I liked yours the best, btw.


:tomatoface:

Now I must hold LAOS captive until he chooses Star Tropics or Golden Sun for the next contest.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Heh, sorry about the delay... and for not voting, I'm a pretty busy guy lately. Doing that picture literally took the whole 2 months of my off time. Anyway, I live with gamers, so, I will confirm with roommates and get back to you later tonight.

Glad it was liked.

[Rambo]

I'm ashamed to have not gotten anything in.. or at least have voted. My apologies. It turns out university is a bit more demanding than I had expected. :? Congratulations to LAOS... but I was never able to load the page on which your entry was hosted. Could LAOS - or anyone really - post the picture direct in the thread, or tell me perhaps why I can't load that page? I'd really like to see it. Thanks.

[friendlyHunter]

I'm ashamed to have not gotten anything in.. or at least have voted.
I got something in and voted, so I'm less ashamed. ... of self! OH AAAAGH that was awful, but it had to be done. The pun gas was building up in my system, I had to belch out a big one before it was too late. But you've got to admit, that was quite a PUNch line, no? Eh? EH!?? uhmm..... I'm so sorry :oops:



Oh yeah, here's LAOS's etch-a-sketch pic too. I took the liberty of shrinking/sharpening/contrast-adjusting/image-shacking it.

[Vilecat]

Fantasmagoric Etch-a-Sketch. Late grats, but better than never ;)

I know i totally forgot about this FAC with all the school projects. Again. Not even a doodle *sigh*

At this rate, i'm guessing Novemer will be skipped, or will there be something different?

Side topic : kinda sucks to see pratically no one enter. I don't get why though. You can't tell me with all the OCR goers, that the amount of artists nears 0%.

[Rambo]

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u24/Rambotnic/Bump.jpg


Yeeah, I know no one entered last month, and one person voted.... but really... can we have one more? Please? Please please?

PUHLEEZE?

Btw friendlyHunter, I forgot to thank you for posting the link to LAOS picture. So thank you.
And LAOS, kick ass picture.

[elfychuu]

Does this mean there wont be anymore Fanart contest? The contests were the reason why I came to OCremix. I would have entered something, but my schedule was overwhelming at the time, so I didn't have time to complete my entry. I was disappointed about it too, considering Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite games.

http://saladbowl.deviantart.com/art/Crono-64872257

Kudos to everyone who submitted their artwork and voted. I personally enjoyed friendlyHunter's submission for its humor.

Awesome pick my friend. And I can appreciate that reason for not submitting. :|
