1st Annual Wallpaper Contest Voting!

[Monika's_BFFEx0255]

My bad, I'll judge right now.

1)Lockdown: The amount of effort put into his worldmap is hefty and the result looks great. The transitioning looks stunningly appealing and is overall the most impressive and unique. The shad_palace wallpaper is plain and simple without the inclusion of text or anything else. Overall, I give his worldmap wallpaper 5/5 and his shad_palace wallpaper 4/5.

2)Avacado: His first wallpaper is the most different one out of all of his. The display of the different maps in MS:C is a nice idea, but it could have been better in some ways, for example, the corner in the edana temple part of the collage bothers me only because of the right angle jutting out. Other than that, it looks great. As for the rest of his, they're all the same kind of idea, some of them doing a better job than the other, (Ex. The contrast of the outside and inside of phobia looks visually appealing and includes good detail). They are rather bland only in the sense that the split in the middle doesn't transition that well with all of his wallpapers; however, it does a nice job in E5. I'll pick the best out of wallpapers to make things simple, my choice being E5, 4.25/5.

3/4)Cal/Frank: To cut it short, both of their wallpapers seem too generic in my eyes. Cal's resembles some of the early MS:C wallpapers that were released a long time back, although the blurry editing doesn't fit all that well. Frank's wallpaper shows the different areas of MS:C but the captions and boxes ruin it imo; it makes the wallpaper seem like there wasn't that much effort put into it. The better out of both wallpapers is Caluminum's in my opinion so I give Cal: 3.5 and Frank 3.0.

Okay, let me revise this to adjust it to the new scale.
1) Lockdown: 9.5
2) Avacado: 9
3) Caluminum: 7
4) Frank: 6.5

Read the quote above for why I gave each contestant their respective score.

Don't have a lot of time to give a full description on your guys' great work but I'll do my best.

1) jon50559: 9
I really enjoy J2 as it has a certain wonder and awe to it. Most definitely one of the things that attracted me to MS:C in the first place.

2) franky200: 8.5
I really like the borders and how it has a fun-esque approach to it. It's a great wallpaper for the person just starting MS:C.

3) Echo717: 8.4
The collage in E1 is great, the pictures in there show off the amazing landscapes and sheer magnitude of beauty that MS:C can have at times.

4) Caluminium 7
I've always enjoyed the 'adventure awaits' tagline for MS:C so I like how it's used in C2 with the adventurers preparing to go into the unknown, always a fun idea.

Anyway we can get Gurluas and Orochi in here to vote so we can finish this?

Maybe in a few lightyears... :roll:
Could always go with 2 other judges, as i doubt they will be back anytime soon to check the forums, unless someone brings them here (and i don't know neither on steam).

 

[jon50559]

We closing this up soon? Was hoping to get any prizes(if I win) before next patch.

[/impatience]

 

[Thothie]

I only suggested those judges because they happened to be on-line at the time, or had already posted in the thread. The only ones that haven't shown up are Little-G and Orochi, so you midas well start tieing this up. Little-G flies by once in a blue moon. Orochi's been on since, but I guess no one's PM'd him, or he hasn't bothered with the thread.

Still find it funny that no one started altering the poll until someone brought up the possibility. It's almost like, "Oh yeah, we can cheat!"

 

[Shinitenshi]

Loled!

 

[Slash]

Looks like we need to do a panel of judges... wow.

I thought the MS:C community would have a lot less **** ing assholes in it. Apparently there are way more than I thought.

Thanks for making this way harder than it was supposed to be...
t.

lol that's the fun of this place. Is the average age actually 11 or is it just most people act like they're 11? It's so entertaining.

Thanks again for participating! Hopefully next year will go a little more smoothly now that we got all of the kinks worked out. Hope this was fun for some of you!

 

[Caluminium]

Congrats Lockdown! I'd love to see some different variations of these contests in the future, like mapping or skinning contests

 

[jon50559]

Thanks Cal!

I'll abstain from picking a game, 4/5 I own and I don't like Shadowgrounds. Have fun with the prizes everyone else!

 

[Echo717]

[The Man In Black]

Spiders, ACTIVATE!

 

[Thothie]

The 1st and 2nd place contestants will get their own personalized crests!

Oh, didn't realize I was doing two crests...

Alright, seems Lockdown decided to save me some trouble on his.

...So here's Avocado's:


(Front/Back)

Unless, of course, you've made your own, have some other design material, or are just horribly offended by it.

Man, if only a sombrero wouldn't be so much work...

PS. It'd be kinda be nice to confirm jon50559's and Echo717's Steam ID's, so I can setup a strict reservation for them, and let them get them without hitting the guildmaster hall.

 

[Red Cell]

mmm, I'll take shadowgrounds, email =*removed*

Sent, let me know if you got it.

 

[Echo717]
