March Wall Contest!

Postby Yumie » Sun Mar 05, 2006 2:02 pm

Alright, the 20th is come and gone! No more submissions will be accepted for this contest from here out. We had quite an amazing turnout on this competition, and all the entries were great! We are aiming to have an official descision from our guest judge by Wednesday, so keep an eye open to find out who the winner will be!

*trumpets sound* Announcing: the march wallpaper contest!

This months theme is a little unusual (yeah yeah, leave it to me to come up with something weird.) I wanted it to be something that would be challenging and fun, so I came up with black and white. The whole wall. No colors. I thought this would be an interesting challenge, because it'll force us to come up with something that is visually interesting all on its own.

Also, this month's winner will be decided by a guest judge. So, may you have ingenious ideas and lots of fun!

Remember:

Entries must be anime/manga themed.

Entries must be 1024x768. Entries which are other sizes WILL be rejected.

Entries must follow the theme.

Notice: I forgot to mention this, but all walls are due on the 20th. Thank you. :)

Another notice: I have had a request for the specifications of anime/manga theme to include gaming as it has in the past, and that's fine with me. Anyone who would be inclined to make a wall with video game characters may feel free to do so.
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

So do we submit normally now, on our own, or through the mods?

This looks to be very interresting. Neat idea! *runs off to make plans*

For now, I'm going to say just submit normally in the wallpaper contest forum. A lot of people didn't like the way the last wallpaper contest went, so I decided to go back to a guest judge/mod judge set up until I work the kinks out of the other system. . . even if I do like it better. :P

Gray is acceptable.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Yep, gray is fine! Just nothing beyond black, grey, and white. :thumb:

Oh, it definitely needs to be made by you. :thumb: Not that the images have to be made by you or anything, you just have to design and put together a wall using images from your choice of any anime or manga. For an example, you can look at the entries by me and Soul Alive that won last month, they're a few announcements down on the home page.

Well, we'll probably pick someone who is known to have some understanding of graphic design. That way it won't just be, "Oh, I'll pick this one, because my favorite character is on it," or "I like the lyrics that this person used, so I'll pick this one," it'll be a decision based on a lot of different aspects (like composition, originality, overall asthetic appeal, etc.)

Ha ha, I realized just this morning that I needed to include that, so I'm going to go back throw it in there. And they're due on the 20th.

This sounds like an interesting contest. I'll try and get an entry in... Black and White is a good idea, I've never actually made a wall like that. ^_^

Look at it, you'll be glad you did!

I'm sorry to have to be a pain and say, yeah, it does have to be exactly 1024 x 768. . . yours is pretty close though, so hopefully it won't be too hard to adjust it just a smidge.

>.< Sorry!!

It surely has been! I made a modification to my original post with new information, for anyone who is interested. :thumb:
