There's still five days left, there's still hope Attract more people with the userbar~

If no one ends up joining I'll think of a way so that it's still possible to end up with two finalists instead of three.

[Wishful Jirachi]

Ooooo....I didn't notice the little shiny link bar. *copies and pastes*

[CDB]

All judge positions have been taken!

C'mon, viewers, join the brawl We only need 2 more people and then we can start~

[Laboratory]

I'll join, I'm pretty inactive on the forums though, so if someone could PM me when this starts, I'd appreciate it :]

[Luminey Mujitsu]

ONE MORE PERSON. SQUEEEE~

[Actinium]

I'll take that last spot, if you don't mind~!

[Wishful Jirachi]

Yah! We have no more slots!!! =)

[CDB]

Alrighty, we can now begin~ Just gimme a moment to set up the first round.

-------------------
Round 1

Royal Summoner Kitten vs Aperture
Luminey vs Shinzu
Zubufa vs Nommer of the Mew
Pokecutie999 vs Wishful Jirachi

Striked through means that the entry has been submitted.

You have until October 31st to complete the following tasks. 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 first round, you have two tasks:

a) It's Halloween~ Recolor a Ghost, Dark, Bug, or Poison Pokemon so that it's Halloween themed. You can use any render you want (i.e Sugimori) as long as there is no background and it is not a sprite.

b) Render the Gengar from one of the following TCG pics. What this means is that you remove the background through whatever process you'd like so that only the Gengar is left. Some people use the eraser tool, some use paths. 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.

Recoloring and rendering are two basic skills a graphic artist needs ;D

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

So for the recolor, we're just changing the colors; not adding features or editing the pokemon?

[Soupy]

Oh boy, here we go. Good luck everyone

[Actinium]

Oh, so easy~! At least, the recolor~! I can do the render easily, too~! (at least I hope)

[Luminey Mujitsu]

For some reason when I saved the recolor it made a black background. I really don't feel like messing with it, but it there's not supposed to be a background on that one, let me know.

Oh and I hate rendering low quality images with passion >_>

[CDB]

@Luminey: Yep, all you're doing is recoloring for now. That was fast

(The black background is fine, but if both entries are of equal quality, then the background's going to be the deciding factor. ;> Also, I gave out low-quality renders but that doesn't mean you can't fix it up ;D Feel free to make it look better; won't hurt to increase your chances of winning)


Note: If it ends up as a tie between two people then both advance.

[Wishful Jirachi]

Interesting choices. We'll see how this goes.

Edit: Just a question, for the recolor, can we use a duel type pokemon or must it be one type only?

[CDB]

As long as one of the types matches then it's fine.

[Luminey Mujitsu]

So can I edit out the background real quick? We can edit entries, right? I didn't see an rule stating that we wouldn't.
And by fixing it up, does that mean that we can do a vector of it too?

If edit are allowed then this is my update to the Duskull one.
