Welcome to the All Hallows Month event here at Steamworks! This thread is [currently] dedicated to the Costume Contest.

Here are the rules, as posted in the original thread:

Quote:
Here's your chance to dress any of your favorite Punks in a festive Halloween costume! Now, there are a couple guidelines that must be followed:
1. No. Cosplays. No Cosplays No Cosplays D: Just to make it clear! I know it's a costume, but a cosplay is a cosplay! So please choose something else... more generic, I dare say?
2. Please try to refrain from making a Punk that is completely themed around a Halloween theme. (Such as a Punk that looks like my (Crimson Jazz's) avatar. In all reality, it's doubtful people would go that far for a Halloween costume. I mean, c'mon, my hair is dyed green! o3o )
3. You can create an alternate costume for an existing punk of yours! In fact, this is encouraged! If you don't have time and just want to slap a white sheet over your Punk without even removing the other clothes, feel free! (You can put a costume on any Punk, including cosplays, but again No Dressing Up as A Character for Halloween)
4. You have until October 30th to dress up your Punks!
5. You can dress up as many Punks as you want, but only one can be entered in the contest! (Which will be in the Guild, link soon. <3 )
6. What will winners get? Well, I'll give you a hint: See rule 1. ;D (The prizes will be listed in the thread shortly, so not too much thinking is required for this!)


Here's the best place to post the Punk you will be entering into the Costume Contest and the only place to post it is you want it judged!

[- Prizes -]
Now, you say you entered a cotume and you wanna know just what it is you win? Well, fine! Since you've been SO nice, I'll tell you!
The top three contestants each win a promotional Cosplay Ticket! This can't be used juuuust yet, you'll have to wait until Thanksgiving for that! But you can save them up and make sure you get first pick when the cosplays do return! Also, since Steamworks is just such a nice place, every other participant will be entered into a random raffle to win one of two more Cosplay Tickets! So, no matter how good or bad your idea is, whether or not you think you may win, you still have a chance! We may even be adding some other prizes, so keep a lookout!

Now, you wanna win, right!?
[- Judging -]
There will be... some number of judges (I'm still getting that together, so stick with me!) who will judge on the following things:
1. Originality
2. Flow (how well it fits your Punk and the Steampunk genre in general)
3. Execution How well you pulled it off. Does it seem realistic? (Aes!Steal)
4. Other stuff... Believe me, smarter people than I will be helping me with this! D:
Just so you know, you will not be judged on your 'coloring ability'. if you're no good at coloring, it's fine! As long you have a good idea and present it well! That said, you cannot have others make your costume for you! That is, the one you enter. Anyone can make a costume for anyone else as long as it is not entered into the contest!

Questions? Comments? Post here!

Question 1:

Do we just draw our punk? Or do we edit the bases?

3. Execution (kinda lie flow, but different! You know... somehow...)

Uh geeze. D:
I guess I'd have to go with an actual base edit on this one. Mostly because what we're going for is you putting a costume on a character of yours. :3

And yeeeeeeeees, I may just steal that... I mean... use... no, I'll just steal it!

Question 2:
I have a punk (that i haven't made yet) in mind fro the costume contest. Can I make him, and then keep him in his costume? (like he'd just be a strange one and dress up all the time)


hope that made sense XP

Am I.... regardless of what you just said, allowed to draw my Punk from scratch in fanart form?

http://darkuangel.deviantart.com/art/Karan-Kepi-sleeping-96399326

sorta like this.

Mostly because.... the punks I would like to enter that I own, were edited by other people - editing over other people's work would make me feel kind of odd. *scratches head*

fatcat: I have to say that a Punk that just dresses in costume all the time would be ok, but on that same line I'd also have to say that I would prefer to have only already existing Punks to have a costume edited, but if he is already a character (or a concept) and you can prove that then it should be perfectly ok. ;D

DFA: First, OMFG your art is awesome! Second, I have been putting this under careful consideration and I am going to have to go with this new rule:
You may draw fanart of an existing character in the Steamworks Shop but only if you provide a link to the original Punk. You may also draw over a print of the lineart in pencil or the like and scan it, as long as it is an existing character in Steamworks.
I think that shoooould cover all my bases? D:

SO

If we draw from scratch our own punk, we can use it? We don't HAVE to edit a base of them, we just have to make sure they exist already, right?

Execution pretty much means how well it's pulled off, anyway. I just found it didn't sound 'professional' and 'proper' saying uh.. and..stuff..yeah...

@Crimson; thank you so much *hugs* and yes, makes perfect sense XD thank you again! *kinda wanted to draw a halloween scene so it'll be fun*
PostPosted: Sun Oct 05, 2008 9:36 am


For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright...

Yes Aes, as long as it's one you already have made as a Punk in the shop and not just an idea for one or an OC you haven't done yet, etc.

And I was going to edit it eventually. :< I just didn't know how to word it at the time.
