An Idea for a Contest

[Obscuria]

So I know there are alot of talented artists here. sadly I am NOT one of them. I just wanted to toss out the idea of a persona contest, not about the ART but the idea/design for those of us less talented who can't create art, maybe we could at least get recognized for the ideas we come up with for our personas! We could maybe have a couple different categories and perhaps some of our super-talented artists here would like to donate an adoptable or two as prizes?



Just a fun sort of idea. Any suggestions? Ideas/ Anyone interested?

I like it, I think the idea of the persona is just as important as, if not more so than the art. If your concept isn't solid, then the art won't make sense no matter how pretty and wonderful. I think some more details are needed, but you knew that . The idea would be interesting to see played out though.

Count me in. ^_^

Ok then let's do this!


Firstly who is willing to donate adopties to our winners?

Secondly how many categories? What kind? I have ideas like most creative, most meaningful, etc

I think people should be able to enter up to three personas. Heck I'll be entering myself.

I'd be willing to draw a very simple sketched pony for any winners

Can I enter?

Let me see if I understand this: We enter our personas not based on on the art, but on the ideas used to create them?

That's the idea PonyFan. Right now I'm just gauging interest as soon as I have enough people in I will make a separate thread.

 

[morrioghan]

This sounds like a cool idea. I won't be entering though, cause I'm uncreative and don't have a persona to begin with.
LOL

 

[Starrby]

How about a best color scheme category?

I'll donate an adoptable prize. ^_^

 

[Obscuria]

Ok would everyone who's willing to donate a adoptie prize please leave a message here and let me know.


I figure we can do it this way, have categories. In the thread veryone can post up to three of their adoptables {or less if they choose} and then they pick their vote for each category and they can PM their choices to me, I will keep a running tally. I'm trustworthy I swear.


I've been thinking of categories.

Most Unique

Most Meaningful

Cutest

Best Overall

Best Color Scheme

Most Attitude

Prettiest

Most like their Creator

Any more category ideas people?



Once I have categories and everyone who wants to donate a prize I'll start the thread.

 

[Paaradox]

I'll donate an adoptable

 

[Canazta]

I wanta join, and I can donate an adoptie.....

 

[blackestbird]

I want to join, but I dunno if I have time. For that same reason, I probably can't donate a prize. I'd like to, but I've got so many pony drawings to get done >.<

 

[Obscuria]

Okie-Dokies I have people willing to donate adopties, if you still want to do so just PM me or drop me a note on my profile. I'm going to finish coming up with categories and probably open the contest sometime this weekend.
