That's a real shame for Uste's case if Holt decides that will be the way.

I assume that we get a few months break from contests now?

 

[Holt]

Well, as much as it might be the usual to follow 1-1-3 format, we're going to go with 1-2-3. This is simply for consistency. Indeed, in the leaderboard, riki and Spirit are ranked 1st, me 3rd and Ust 4th but that's because there would be no basis for putting either riki or spirit as 1st over the other. Also, in our contests here, no matter how many tie for first, the next person(s) get second as witnessed in the Dream Poem contest.

We will revise a lot of things for next year's contest and that will be something we reevaluate going forward but regardless of choice, the format will be consistent both in each regular contest and the final leaderboard.

You're both in the same timezone...

@Ustegius did you design this year's badges for the LB?

Yup. I also apparently accidentally at some point turned the lines of the bronze award blue. And then got awarded with it myself. Karma.

I've done this in my art gallery already but i'd like to thank @Holt , @GodDarkness , @Utsune and @goldb for moderating this section and bringing us the Art Contests for this year. You guys did a fantastic job and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

That's actually quite an old poll for a contest back in November
But you're more than welcome to participate. Both Members and Mods alike love to have new people entering the Art Contests, and this year's Art Season starts on January the 29th.

 

[downright]

aha, i noticed it's strange.. so the Mods will decide what the theme is, i'll just wait then.

Actually the Moderator in charge of the Art Section, Holt decides on the Category each week i believe. Categories are styles of art such as Drawing, Writing, Photgraphy, Avatar and Signatures etc. And we always have at least two themes to choose from each week in the form of a poll. Take the poll you see above for example. That contest was in the Photography Category, and we got to vote on whether we wanted the theme to be Floral Photography or Food Photography. So we Members have a great deal of input into what we actually do on a weekly basis.

Congratulations to Art Contests subforum. First contest is underway.

Regarding Super Heroes Avatar and Signature Set Contest, are Boku no Hero Academia/Fate Series qualifying?

Well strictly going by common sense, any BnHA Hero would qualify. Not sure about the Fate series though;

 

[goldb]

Read the OP, I said any manga/anime that you find suitable. The characters you choose don't have to be super heroes by design like in BnHA; I was very careful in separating the 2 words. Be creative with your interpretation of a "super hero"; do they have powers and save lives? Fight crime? etc...don't limit yourself to just costume...

EDIT: And guys, please be sure that you're using the link provided in the submission thread for your uploads; it'll take you straight to the correct category for this contest. I've left the category name in the contest thread just in case.

 

[Riku]

Aah, fudge. I already did two sets and couldn't decide which to submit, but then I noticed the manga/anime thing. So it can't be western comics or video games related?

So long as it's from an anime/manga then I don't see why not.

Bu but but... You say superhero, I say Batman. I'm simple like that.

I will not bend the rules...even for your sexy viking ass. - goldb

You know @Ustegius I was going to do All Might for my set; something similar to the banner above but you took it from me! So I decided to go for Saitama instead and had a similar signature to what I currently have. Worked out pretty well.

Still time for more people to sign up; looking forward to more entries!

You could have done the same hero

It work better than well imho. The letters as a mask is a working concept and love how you use shape in the avatar. I love the dynamic the fist breaking from the circle creates, it really makes it 'pop'. I tried something similar with All Mights hair, but doesn't have half as much impact.
