Silkroad Online Forums

Size: Anything wall-paper size goes[Which mean 800x600 and above, choose whatever you prefer].

Themes: The first theme will be freestyle! So pick something you like, wether it be a great render or just a simple theme like snow, go ahead an use it! We will be using specified renders now and then.

Deadline: You have untill Juli the 31st to submit your entries. Voting will be up for 2 days.

Pre-Made art: I forgot to say, pre-made LP's are not allowed. If I see a person entering a LP, they have a second chance of making a new one. If I've seen that one before as well, they're disqualified for that competition.

Board-Layout: Please, due to the large canvas-sizes that will be slowing up, and that there are still people with a not-too-fast internet-connection, refrain from posting the entire LP in this thread. Post either a link, or a thumbnail, and that will do. Thank you.

Work work!

Animated art cool too?

File sizes would be humongous at those resolutions, just an fyi -- people lose interest after waiting 5 seconds for anything to load on the internet.

Month?

2 new rules added I came up with yesterday. Please read them.


@reK:
I proposed to have 2-weekly competitions in the other thread, I heard nobody argue with me. So I made this a 2-weekly competition. >_> I think we could also make a poll for it though, if you prefer. >_>

what's an LP?
I donno if this is pre made art, I didn't make it for this purpose, but seeing as the subject is freestyle anyway, why not..

i vote bg O.o

bg, the orbs are easy (A lot of tuts about them on the net, just looked up a view. They look quite like yours, with a bit of editing you get the same, so def. the bg)
