Calling All Skinners, Calling All Skinners.....
Next skinning contest is on the way.
Monday, August 22, 2005 by Apocalypse_67 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
As many of you know, this year's
Skinning Contest sponsored by some of the
community members will be on the way soon (4 days to be exact)
This idea gave way to another skinning contest. This second contest will target
a more advance group of skinners since the categories on which they'll be
competing are; DX Theme,
IconPack and
WindowBlinds.
The prize on this second contest will be a Object Desktop ($50.00 value) for the top skin/theme of each category. The 3 prizes will be donated by Bones2112, Brewman and me Apocalypse_67. The contest will start on Sep 30, 2005 and will end on Oct 14, 2005. Winners will be announced on Oct 17, 2005
The purpose of this post is to give the skinners interested in participating more than a month's noticed to create their skins/themes. Just like the rules of the first contests, all work must be new and original. No ports or re-coloring of past work or work by another artist.
I will make the official announcement by
the end of next week. In the mean time shift those ideas into high gear and open
up those graphic programs.

| I think he means you better create a Sponge Dog....anything with Sponge Bob is still the creator of Sponge Bobs work..even if you drew him by your own hand..its not your idea. In other words. Create your own Character from your head. |
i have to be some kind of artist to do that.
By the way i have a cd called Kid Pix 3 and i can draw lots of things in it but it won't save as a bmp or jpg. what can i do?

What format will it save in? If you can open that format in mspaint, then you can save it as a .bmp. or .jpg.
Bash... go to www.corel.com and download the trial version of paintshop pro. It will at least get you through the contest. It is very cheap and you won't be dissapointed.

If it won't save, then you can always take a screen shot and edit that in paint or whatever you use.

| For instance...if i'm using psp tubes and i spend a week creating a scene that is original in thought..but used a few psp tubes..is that still " my " wallpaper ? I know this is a tricky question....psp tubes are spread out everywhere and you can see same images in 100's of different uses. So..even if i didnt draw it..would it be my work? |
In my interpretation, the wall would be 100% yours, since tubes are free to use, But "I" couldn't call it 100% original work............... could you?
| I cant even draw stick people. Well...maybe i can kinda sorta ....maybe .. |
In that case, you and I have something in common... I can't draw a stick with both hands....

Hopefully I will make the official announcement tomorrow night.
Hus and Black Xero are willing to contribute for a second place prize but that leaves one category short of a prize. (BTW, thank you guys) If we get a 3rd donation I will contact the sponsors to agree on what will the 2nd place prize be.
Those interested in participating can start to work on their entries since the contest will start in a month. Sep 30, 2005 to be exact.

100% original work means you don't use ANYTHING that is not 100% your creation. For example... if you redraw SpongeBob, that still isn't 100% original. It's your version of SB, but not your creation
that means i can make skins like my spongebob one except i have to change it a bit so that its not really my creation but at the same time its theirs?
I think he means you better create a Sponge Dog....anything with Sponge Bob is still the creator of Sponge Bobs work..even if you drew him by your own hand..its not your idea. In other words. Create your own Character from your head.
