This post is designed to help newbs to the competition get to know how things work. If you feel that you don't understand something completely or you think you can improve this post then send me a nice PM. :)

I have decided to basically explain the competition in a question/ answer sorta way.

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.

[The Lone Gunman]

This has some awesome potential to be potentially awesome.

[Mewtation]

ATMUH. Fix the title. It's Pokémon. Not Pokemon.

[atmuh]

I cant edit thread titles :[

[Adam_Slight]

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i303/shmahfilms/dpb.jpg

I'm an MS Paint master

[atmuh]

wait a tic

Is that an entry already?

[Inimitable]

It can't be an entry! Not only is it in the thread, but Diglett is also spelled wrong!



D:

[FiremanJoe]

I'd like to see some of the rarer/less popular G/S Pokemon here. Anyone up for drawing Crobat, Stantler, Girafarig or Tyrannitar? :P
I'm still thinking about whether I'll draw something, or do a MSPaint doodle.
Pokémon ftw. =D

[Ninja-san]

I only know the red and blue ones. Im gonna do charizard :D

[DragonAvenger]

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/animepictures.html

That should help some people. I would love to see some Espeon work, as it is my favorite pokemon.

[Adam_Slight]

I'll fix the spelling. Wikipedia accepted my search of "Diglet" so I guess I'm a big stupid idiot.

[The Phalanx]

Bleh. Not my style.

[The Damned]

If Poinko gets into this, I can guarantee you that he will win. He's doing the artwork for the Pokemon project.

[anthonium]

I'll be staying out of this one...not that I was active in a lot of other competitions but anyway it'll be interesting to see if anybody comes up with anything really creative with pokemon. :)

[FiremanJoe]

I only know the red and blue ones. Im gonna do charizard :D

You'd better do it justice. Only one of my favourites =P , along with Crobat and Tyrannitar.

Slightly off topic (well, it's a Pokemon thread isn't it?)- anyone ever beat the Battle Tower in Crystal? I only ever managed to beat the lvl 100 ranking thing. Team: Charizard, Mew and Tyrannitar.

[atmuh]

There had better be a ton of entries since this is another extended deadline thingy.

[friendlyHunter]

The 23rd of FEBRUARY?! I have a feeling we're gonna get a LOT of entries... or just really good ones. I'm not a pokemon fan (I've played one of the games many years ago, I'll admit it's somewhat addictive ^^), but I'll definately enter something this time. Just like when I said I'd definately enter last time. Oh wait... >_>

[prophetik]

we should get someone to do some artwork for the pkmn project out of this, damned.

[SynthesizedStampede]

TAG'D. I think I'm gonna enter this...tee hee...man if only my scanner wasn't broken...yeah here's my entry...

The link to the original is here...

So you can see how much better it could've looked if I didn't have to re-outline everything in Photoshop. >_<

Ah wells...

[atmuh]

That was all done since I announced the theme?

[SynthesizedStampede]

If that was for me, then yeah. It took me around 3 hours to pencil it, take a picture of it, then color it on photoshop. Ionno why but I felt like getting it done because I knew if I let it sit for too long I would NEVER have finished it. It's okay if we revise it though right? I might add some things or polish them up...cuz y'know...I rushed that and that's why it's a lil under par >_<. Oh and that and I colored w/Photoshop and I'm used to Paintshop rawr.

How many entries do we have so far? Im about half way done on my piece but with classes restarting I probably wont be done till the due date.

[FiremanJoe]

I'm starting my entry tonight. :)

EDIT: I just did a picture.. haha, a reminder of why I don't draw often. =P It's too big for my scanner, so I may have to do another.

Take a digital picute of it if you can. Sometimes it come out even better than the scanner

Advertising...

Oh and I got something humorous (sorta) in the works.

[Binjovi]

I've still yet to come up with an idea for this competition, but I really want to enter. I have a lot of fond memories of playing my old blue version. I'm gonna try and get at least something done for this, though it may be a last minute entry.

you have PLENTY of time

[Electronic Samurai]

I've never played any of the Pokemon games, but I think I may still pull together something for this one. It might not be what you'd expect, though.

[Vilecat]

Who cares if not, just participate <3!!
I'll slowly but surely come up with something. This semester will be crazy, first week of college and i got a few projects already to work on.

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Does it have to be drawn by hand/computer?

My school has a machine that can carve anything out of wood, and recently I had the honor of being the first on to do anything with it. Here's a pic of it:
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k263/Pi_R_Squared/TRIFORCE.jpg
It still needs to be painted, but whatever.

I was going to do some other stuff next, but I guess I could do Gym Badges or something (Damn, I just ruined the surprise)

[atmuh]

If it's art of any kind I accept it aka DO IT PLEASE!!!!

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Alright then. 8(r/b)/16(g/s)/24(r/s)/32(d/p) Gym Badges coming up, depending on how much time I have.

[Ninja-san]

If it's art of any kind I accept it aka DO IT PLEASE!!!!
I thought Animations werent allowed :[

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Why wouldn't animations be allowed? If anything I think they'd get a whole tier of their own...

[Ninja-san]

I forget which FAC it was but i think it was stated no animations. Not sure but hell if we can do animations im gonna ditch what im doing for some claymation.

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Claymation? I've always been a fan. My uncle first showed me Wallace and Gromit when I was young, and it was really impressive to see something that unique.

[atmuh]

uhhhh we had a debate about this a while back and I said that I don't care what it is just make sure you don't brake the 4 rules.

[atmuh]

does no one care anymore?

[Electronic Samurai]

An entry is me!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/Electronic_Samurai/pokeymans.png

"Survival of the Fittest" - two wild pokemon duke it out for territory.

Done with a mechanical pencil and colored in Paint Shop Pro 8.

Also, I seem to have forgotten the names of both of these pokemon (I've never played any of the games). Can someone help me out?

[Polo]

^ Looks like Charizard (without wings) on the left, and that's Kabutops on the right. Love the high "lights."

February 23rd you say? Sure, why not. I'll see what I can chalk up.

[prophetik]

i think it's actually charmeleon, which would explain the no wings. didn't charmeleon have a flame at the end of his tail, like charmander?

[Mewtation]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charmeleon

Charmeleon only has one head-spike. Looks like a cross between Charmeleon and Charizard.

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Assume that Pokemon develop slowly in "real life". The stage in between a Charmeleon and Charizard would include the horn splitting in two, the wings developing, and growth in size (Yes, I'm a freak.). Maybe this would be that in-between stage? Kabutops are living fossils, and extremely rare, so I doubt one would be battling a Charzameleon (?) naturally in the wild. Still, Freakin' AWESOME... *Ahem*

Now, I said I'd be making badges, but here's something I've been working on as well:

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k263/Pi_R_Squared/Poke1337.jpg

It's the pokecenter/mart before the elite 4 in fl/lg. I think I plan on doing the whole game like this. Ignore the stripes and message, I'm running the trial at home. When I get it done, I'll render this at school and re-post it. And about those badges... well, they're in the works...

[atmuh]

so uhhhhh no one cares again :[

Consider this: It's very likely none of the previous FAC contests got this much attention so far before the deadline.

[The Lone Gunman]

I've scanned my entry, but it needs some work. You all should be able to gawk at it by Saturday.

[atmuh]

less than a week

[friendlyHunter]

Less than a week, hm? Well, I've gotten a head start (e.g. thought about starting) and managed to find a great sprite website.

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Turns out I dont have the time to cut those badges out, but I still have the 3D models, if thats anything. And that Pokecenter.

...Not sure if they're "art"... whatever. I'll post them when I'm done. Soon.

3 DAYS LEFT WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!?!!!

3 DAYS LEFT WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!?!!!

Maybe we should just make a thread in Gendisc protmoting those to come here...

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Speaking of the date, I'm letting you know I'll post it real soon. It's not gonna be badges, it'll be better. Still 3D, though.

[atmuh]

Maybe we should just make a thread in Gendisc protmoting those to come here...

i have let it be known that i really dont like this subforum in the past

[Ninja-san]

Whats gonna happen with voting anway? I forget if the last voting session was before or after the forum change...

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Atmuh, considering my entry is a 3D model, should I take one good render that shows off as much as I can, or get several shots from the best angles I can find?

[Ninja-san]

Pi_R_[]ed, can you render it into an animation\avi? That would look better than screen shots

Also Atma whos entries do we have so far?

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Well, here's the thing, basically: [link (http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k263/Pi_R_Squared/Peng.jpg)]
Do you know any programs that can non-photorealisticly shade, and do animations?

[Ninja-san]

3d maxs a good program to use and can do that.
Whatever you decide will be good. Cant wait to see the end results btw :]

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Thanks. I had a room for every elite 4, and the champion. But this one looks best, just because of the fangs.

[The Phalanx]

I need to stop lurking on the front page like a retard and notice the sub-forums.

yea thats pretty much whats happening

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Ninja, I got a good video, non-photorealisticly rendered, too. Know anywhere I can upload it by tommorow? Otherwise... looks like I'm limited to a picture. Not the worst thing possible, but a video's still better.

you have 25 hours get to work

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Hey, it's not like I've got anything to worry about; I sent you a PM with my entry. I guess a video isn't the most important thing. Espicially when dealing with anyone like me. I'd probably too lazy to check the video, and just look at the image entries anyway

[Polo]

PM'ed you my entry Atmuh.

[Ninja-san]

Probably youtube would be the best place for the video Pi_R_[]ed

[Pi_R_[]ed]

Well, I still like the image better, 'cause the video was corrupted when I uploaded it to youtube. But here it is anyways:

How many entries so far?

[atmuh]

somewhere between 5 and 7 i think. i dont really know

[The Lone Gunman]

Sorry, but I'm unable to enter this month, as my laptop became self-aware, then became emo and committed suicide , taking my FAC entry with it!
Thankfully, It's probably a power issue, but still...worthless silicon bastard!

[friendlyHunter]

Just thought I'd let you know, I'm gonna finish my entry soon (less than an hour) so don't shut it down quite yet!

[Edit]
More than an hour later...

PM'ed to Atma. OOOO can't wait to see all the entries tommorow morning, it's like Christmas! And I don't even like Pokemon ;]

[linkspast]

i was going to make a pokemon card of DJP and one of his attacks would be Nuke, where all of unmod would be killed and any attached threads would be sent to the discard pile.

But I never got to it.

[friendlyHunter]

Votin' time? Maybe after the voting starts, I'll make a new banner, get us a little more visible...

[atmuh]

voting will start later tonight I have been BUSY

Ok this is just to compare this month to last month. Last month; thread had 155 replies and 6,904 views, while this month had 107 replies and 2,456 views (and this FAC actually covered a month and a half...). Last month had 22 votes and there were 11 this month.

just sayin...
