Ungod Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 methinks you are not allowed to post the effects of tokens, just the name will suffice Quote
Aethon Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 Here is the first entry I shall post. Behold, the scariest scene I can imagine. It contains a Dst (scary enough on the best of days) and (perhaps the scariest thought of all) A teddyless Syrian! Dst is threatening to throw the teddy down the well and Syrian looks as if she's about to explode! If you look closely...you might even see a mysterious, ghostly rider watching the scene. He's braver than I am, I know I wouldn't want to be there!! :P Ungod, Eagle Eye, gonzalocsdf95 and 1 other 4 Quote
Aeoshattr Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 Graphics only no drawings UNLESS you use a program such as paint to do so... What exactly does this mean? Are we only allowed to photoshop in existing artwork in a sort of collage, and therefore now allowed to slap our own drawings inside our submission? Or are we only allowed to submit our own drawings only if we make them in a program as paint (which kinda really involves the need of a drawing tablet...)? Assira the Black, dst and ZenTao 2 1 Quote

Or are we only allowed to submit our own drawings only if we make them in a program as paint (which kinda really involves the need of a drawing tablet...)? It means that you may draw but only with a computer type program. Yes, it would be helpful if you had a tablet maybe now is your reason to get one? Quote
Assira the Black Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) I am not sure if I see the point in that limitation. If anything it is making it to where those with out the technology are at a disadvantage (edit) if they wish to add their own personal touches. And how are you to tell if it is done with an app? I have an ipad app that makes very realistic art work. I could understand if you were to limit it to where you can't copy and past md art to make a scene, but to have it where people can not draw their art and add it to a scene, does not make sense. If you are wanting it to be in MD style and that is why you can copy and past the scenes and avatars... then I can understand that. But paint would not be md style. MD style is based off of the artwork that people draw on paper and then adjust the brightness/contrast in a program.Though md style does have a certain look and feel to it. This is your quest/contest and your rules, you just may get fewer participants based on rules that others may not agree with or not understand why it is there to begin with. edit: Seeing as how you are willing to allow outside work to be posted in such scenes... it does not seem like md style is the objective...

Aethon Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 I believe that Zen is perhaps giving others a chance to show their skills in graphics and editing. Yes, it may be a minority..but then again not everyone is able to draw, or paint or find stones good enough to paint on...(this is seriously annoying me right now... -_-) What I take from this is that she has seen there are many "draw your own <insert subject here>" quests and is trying to mix it up a little; to create a montage of sorts using unusual pieces. Whilst mine does not fit the rules (I think) I was just doing it for the fun and trying to learn a new tool -- and I'm happy I did! Now I'm really enjoying learning about the secrets of GIMP! :P I think this is a good quest to challenge yourself to something new; whether it be by trying to make real images look like something you'd find in MD, by editing colours, proportions, opacity, etc, or simply the challenge of trying to learn a new tool! I say kudos for thinking outside the box and putting an interesting twist on something old. P.s. She never said the art had to be amazing and I'd hope that funny entries, that show you at least tried, would still be given good consideration. :D ZenTao 1 Quote

For what it's worth, if you don't like the quest I apologize however it's a quest you may either take part in or not. All of the above are great! Here is Mine, Just for fun of course!

Ungod Posted September 29, 2015 Report Posted September 29, 2015 After long labor, with tens of ideas crashing into each other, my submission will probably appear to be like those aramor ships on the beach of Golemus... anyway, here it is http://storenow.net/my/?f=76fcfa2a1457caef7b4066d90344b51e Lania 1 Quote
