[Shinzu]

Ah, yay, I can't wait!

[CDB]

Sorry about how long it took >< But, here are the results~

Luminey:
LIA: (Overall: 8/10 Recolor: No apparent errors - very good. Render: Outline is a bit fuzzy.)
CDB: (Overall: 10/10 Not much to say, 'tis good ;>)
Average: 9/10

vs

Shinzu:
LIA: (Overall: 9/10 Recolor: I don't know; something just seems off. Render: Honestly, I felt like this came right off the card.)
CDB: (Overall: 7/10 Recolor: It seemed more like a slight hue change than a recolor; nothing major ;o Render: The colors came out a bit too saturated and when colors are a bit too saturated they feel out-of-place.)
Average: 8/10


Pokecutie999
LIA: (Overall: 7/10 Recolor: Original coloring, but outline is a bit fuzzy and a bit too thick. Render: Fuzzy outline.)
CDB: (Overall: 10/10 I honestly can't find anything wrong ;>)
Average: 8.5/10

vs

Wishful Jirachi
LIA: (Overall: 9/10 Recolor: HOLY SHIT THAT'S AMAZING. Render: Outline is a bit fuzzy.)
CDB: (Overall: 10/10 Perrrrfect :>)
Average: 9.5/10


Nommer of the Mew
LIA: (Overall: 9/10 Recolor: Looks just about perfect. Render: Just a few extra pixels on the outline.)
CDB: (Overall: 10/10 I feel like such an easy grader :<)
Average: 9.5/10

vs

Aperture
LIA: (Overall: 6/10 Really fuzzy outlines.)
CDB: (Overall: 6/10 I'm not sure if it's the program you're working with, but the quality of the image is really pixelly. It's hard to explain, but the lines are rigid and jaggedy rather than clean.)
Average: 6/10

Ooh, cool, onto the next round! I personally hope it has something to do with effects. c:

[Wishful Jirachi]

Thank you judges. Gratz to everyone. I thought all the recolors were quite creative. =)
I look forward to challenge 2.

Edit: Effects might be rather interesting. I personally thought that perhaps round 2 will have to do something with the pokemon you chose to recolor. It was just a thought that ran through my mind while trying to decide which pokemon to choose.

Congratz to those who advanced.

[Luminey Mujitsu]

Phew I won by a hair! Must try harder on the next one

[Shinzu]

'Render: Honestly, I felt like this came right off the card.'

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. XDD

[Luminey Mujitsu]

Hmm just realizing that there are 3 of us left. How in the world do we go about the tier thing now? I'm guessing the next round will just be whoever has the least amount of points gets booted out.

[Wishful Jirachi]

I think that's pretty much the only way that we could do Round 2 if we are going to have a Round 3.

[Spokesman]

'Render: Honestly, I felt like this came right off the card.'

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. XDD

It's good.

[Luminey Mujitsu]

New contest soon?

[CDB]

Sorry, went to a few parties, lost track of things

ROUND TWOOOO

Round Two will end on the 15th of December. If all entries are handed in before that date, then they will be judged immediately so that the contest can move on. You can post them here or PM them to me; I don't mind.

For the second round, you will have three tasks.

a) It's almost Thanksgiving~ Create a matching avatar and banner set that relates to this in any way, be it color or subject or whatever you can think of. You must include the word Turkey in both creations in a way that doesn't detract from the overall quality.

b) It seems like you like effects, so here's a simple effect: Reflect an object onto a shiny surface or water. As long as it looks like a reflection, then it'll be good.

c) What's a graphic without fancy text? For the third part, create a banner using only text. An example would be the FiaHGE first page banner thing. Be creative You can use lots of different fonts to make one big rectangle, or you can make the text form a shape, for example. It's up to you~

Have fun~ And remember: if you don't know how to do something, you are allowed to use tutorials from wherever you go to find tutorials.

If this is too difficult, please tell me. I'm trying to make it get progressively harder, so if the second round is hard then it isn't going to get any better.

OOOO.....I rather like the topics. Task 1 seems like it shall progress quite smoothly. I do have a question about this though: I understand that some people, when making a matching avatar and banner, will simply take a portion of the banner and make it the avatar. Is this what you are looking for or are you looking for something which is not the same as the banner yet expresses the same theme?

As for Task 2: I am intrigued to try a reflection on water.

Task 3: I've got ideas for this.

[CDB]

Both ways are fine; if you think it'll look better by using a portion of the banner, then feel free to do that. If you think that's too bland, then you can create a different but matching avatar. As long as it looks like an avatar and the banner looks like a banner, then it's fine with me ;o

[Wishful Jirachi]

Ah, alright. We'll see what inspiration I can get for it. Thanksgiving isn't my favorite holiday, lol.

[Luminey Mujitsu]

Man I'm terrible with fonts...I wonder what I can come up with for the 3rd one...

[CDB]

There's still about two-three weeks left; no need to rush ;>

Sometimes the simple fonts can make the biggest impact; fancy fonts aren't always the best~
Depends completely on how you decide to make it :>

[Luminey Mujitsu]

First part of my entry

[CDB]

Reminder~ This round will end in five days~

[Wishful Jirachi]

Thank you for the reminder. I've been rather busy but I'll try to get them in.
