PLEASE READ CONTEST DETAILS CAREFULLY 

 

 

 

Hi all... I don't play FS that much anymore , so unfortunately I don't have anything to spend it on  :(

 

And that's why I'm going to hold a contest for a wallpaper for my laptop.. woo hoo.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

First, the prize. This is different from other avatar/signature contests so PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

 

GRAND PRIZE: 30-50 fsp depending on how much I like it  :D

 

There may be no second, third or any runner-ups, but only if there are more that I like...

 

Second Place: 20 fsp.

Third Place: 15 fsp

Any others that I like: 10 fsp

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Size: Exactly 1280 x 800

 

I want a high quality (.png files help!) pokemon themed wallpaper. It can include any pokemon (too many to name preferances) or trainer, and can include any style, whether it be smudge, C4D or both! And I will provide constuctive criticism and try to guide you in the right direction.

 

Text slaps will be immediately disqualified.

 

I DO NOT want "jzaz" or any FS related text on there for this is not for FS. However, text IS optional. 

 

 

 
End Date: 1st Jan, 2014
 

I'll leave the creative parts to you guys.  ;)  Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

I tried saving it to my photobucket account but apparently there's a size restriction because it was scaled down to 800x500. :/ If you think this could win then save it to your computer just in case tinypic doesn't keep that link active. First time I've ever done something this large so I have no clue how tinypic works when it comes to keeping links active.

 

If you click on the image then hit View Raw Image it will take you to the full size that you wanted.

 

TBH I didn't even change much from the background image. It fit perfectly with what I had in mind. Wanted to go a different route from normal happy Pokemon stuff. I tried to imagine what would happen if the powerful pokemon went berserk in real life. Wanted to put some text but ehhh...couldn't think of anything good enough. At the end of the day, it's an entry during a time when everyone is busy with exams/family/shopping. :P

Wow that entry is really.. crzy.

 

:P  But seriously, I think it's a very interesting piece. The first thing I noticed was the chaos around what appears to be a force field. I'm not sure if those C4D's was intentional, but in my opinion, they look slightly out of place and could be improved if they were blended in some more, accompanied by a few effects to compliment them.

 

Secondly, the feet are erased a bit. What happened there?  :blink:  lol 

 

Third, I feel that there could be some improvements to depth. This would be one of those works that would go well with dimension.

 

Overall, I like it. It's a solid first entry. If you would like to make those changes that I suggested, go for it! Nevertheless, I hope that this won't be your only submission... after all, there's no limit to how many you could enter  :)

Which C4Ds are you talking about? The ones to the right, above his head, or the ones at the bottom? Not sure what other effects I can put in without making it look too busy.

 

As for his foot, I wanted to make it look like his right foot was stepping forward since it's darker and away from the light source in his other hand. If you think it came out bad, I can add the other foot so it looks like he's just standing still. :P

 

I'll mess with blurring to see if I can change the depth. I didn't mess with it the first time around because the sun/light is coming from behind him. Would have looked weird if I darkened the farther buildings when they have a strong light source next to it. To me, that was the sun rise lighting up all the destruction Alakazam caused overnight which is why it's darker near him.

I see your point, and your edited version is much better! Would you be able to resize it on a different psd and upload it to photobucket? If you win and you still have the file, you can just send me the original.


ill get something in for you

Alright I got it on Photobucket somehow. I guess it resizes it to 800x500 at first but if you keep clicking on the image, eventually it zooms in to the original file size. Glad it worked because I wasn't quite sure about what you were asking with resizing the PSD. :P I use GIMP lol.

 

And thanks Chag! I look forward to seeing what you come up with. :)

That looks awesome! I do like it. It is a very nice use of C4D's and blending. Although that color for Rayquaza doesn't exist, I still like what you did with it, giving the pokemon an ominous feeling to it. Nice work!

 

Also, don't be limited to that color scheme only ;)
