ZenTao Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) [size=4][b]This is a “Graphic Arts” contest featuring the creatures and/or characters you would like to invite into your home for a Thanksgiving/ Christmas themed family get together. Using an Image Editor such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel or Gimp(Gimp is open source freeware) you will be required to impose the images of the creatures or characters of MD into a Photo of an area of your home. [color=#ff0000]Rules:[/color] 1. The background/ backdrop for this contest must be a photograph ( that you took ) of an area in your home where some sort of Holiday festivities are taking place ( Like a living room area with a Christmas tree, or lights and decorations, or of the kitchen with a big turkey in the oven, your family having a dinner at a table etc.) If you do not have decorations you may put some on the MD creatures/characters through the Image editor. Be as Creative as you desire. 2. You may feature yourself and/or your family in the picture ( for anyone concerned about privacy this is not necessary, a simple photo of a place in your home without any people in it will do.) 3. Submissions should be posted in this thread, by using an online host such as Picasa or Tinypic( Chewett says the Forum is becoming overloaded and by hosting the image elsewhere we could save him a ton of hassle) To show your creation inside your post use the code: [Code] [Img]put link address of picture here[/img] [/code] 4. Only one submission per person will be put into a poll on January 2nd and voted on for one week by the public At the end of the week the top five will win prizes.( Making multiple Accounts to vote for yourself or a friend will disqualify you or your friend from the competition) one vote per person please!

[/quote] I thought about that, and figured that almost everyone has a time when they gather with family and friends in their home. When I made a contest last year called "holiday scene makeover " people no matter where they were from created Christmas themed backgrounds. If there is a tradition that other cultures celebrate, that has to do with family coming into your home to eat and be festive then by all means feel free to share that in this contest. lashtal 1

Thank You. I hope many people try this out, it's amazing what creative juices flow in MD... Fang- No I'm pretty sure we can not sponsor our own quests, and it makes little sense to me why the TK Leader can not sponsor quests, thats almost like having wings and not being able to fly.

DARK DEMON Posted December 28, 2012 Report Posted December 28, 2012 [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Enhanced version of my earlier submission (this one should be put up on the poll).[/color][/font] [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/xepk6s.jpg[/IMG] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Worked on the borders (sparkles), added party hats (and shades for Eagle Eye ) and fireworks in the background.[/color][/font]
Nimrodel Posted December 28, 2012 Report Posted December 28, 2012 Took the background pic at college. Didn't really want to put up a pic of myself or my friends on the Internet. Hence just the background pic. Rest and all is photo-shopped. Hope you like it [IMG]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g173/ysnigdha/zentaofinalcorrected_zpscfcc258a.jpg[/IMG] dst 1
