Woo, Mai-chan is so excited! Welcome, everyone, to the second round of the Minitokyo Knockout 2014! Round 1 brought back that awesome retro feel of blended
scans and textures, and now it’s time for something a bit...different.
But first, let’s see who will be competing against whom!
Pair 1: lisz vs. Deto15
Pair 2: DOOOODY vs. Meronheddo
Group 3*: pamkips vs. Painter vs. elisadevelon
* the first two contestants with the highest scores will be chosen from this group.
----------------------------
>> Theme of the round: “Looking Forward, Looking Back” <<
This round is focused on evolution. Or not. Either way, it’s heavily based on interpretation!~
You can choose a literal interpretation (e.g. a character looking in front of them and one looking back) or a figurative
one (e.g. a comparison between past and future), or even combine them! You can make it about you, or something else
entirely. It’s all up to you and how you decide to spin it!
Mai-chan will tell you a secret: the most creative interpretations have the best chance of getting the highest scores ^.~
----------------------------
Rules
+ All the general rules from the first announcement apply, as do the ones listed in the MT Policy.
+ The only round requirement is this: you must include something to allude to both the "forward" and "back" aspects~ How you do it, it's up to you!
+ No restrictions on the style or subject of the wall: you can wall whatever series/game you want, however you want!
+ You must send your entries via PM to Mai-chan, without a signature or description! Make sure to specify the subject as “Knockout Round 2 entry”.
+ The minimum resolutions you can submit your entry in are 1600 x 1200 (regular), 1920 x 1080 (HD) and 1920 x 1200 (widescreen). Of course, you can submit higher resolutions if you want to (see the list of accepted resolutions). You don’t need to send us all three resolutions, just the one you’d like to enter :)
+ Don’t post your wallpaper (with or without your signature) anywhere else on the Internet until after the round is over i.e. the results are announced!
+ You may request help! PM Mai-chan with the subject “Round 2 Help!” and she will ask one of our lovely helpers to lend you a hand~ This is totally secret, though!

Questions & Answers
Btw, kinda weird that we can't include description. That forces people to be
literal or risk not being understood well enough.
If you think your idea is that vague, you can include a line about what you were trying to do. However, do keep in mind
that the point is letting your work speak for itself~
----------------------------
The deadline for sending in entries is Saturday, the 20th of September 2014!
However, the round will be over sooner if everyone sends in their entries by then :)

Good luck, minna! <3
