*EDIT - alright, alright -_- the deadline is jan. 31...
Hey everyone! I hope youre having a great holiday and winter break. If youre not on winter break, well that sucks. lol just kidding. I hope youre having a great week anyways.
Sooo the results youve all been waiting for are finally finished! Im sorry it took us so long to get these scores out to you, but at least you got a nice break ^-^ hehe. the scoring for the next round should be MUCH faster because the number or walls to score is cut in half. Ahhh....yes...if you dont remember, 2 groups have been eliminated. T-T But everyone did such a great job! I know isolation is a pretty hard theme to wall. You can all go hit bj0rn now. (LOL just kidding, and for your info, you might not want to hit him because hes going to be judging the walls in the next round as well!)
So, lets be positive here, and instead of announcing the two teams got eliminated first, Im going to tell you which ones made it through alive!
Divine Radiance
&
Forsaken
!
Again, all teams did great, but those 2 were the ones with the highest scores.
Bj0rn has decided to a little wildcard with the two eliminated teams, and he has decided to allow these people to join
one of the two persevering teams ::
Naomi-chan2612
ChopperDave
Alterlier
HeartfulSkies
If they decide to join the next round, Naomi-chan2612 and Heartfulskies will be on Team Forsaken, and ChopperDave and Alterlier will be on Team Divine Radiance.
If you have any questions about that, please PM me. (Also, I need the wildcard members listed above to reply in the thread whether or not they are interested in joining the next round)
Individual scores and critiques are available upon request. However, although I cannot give each individual judge's score to you, I can give you your average score in each category.
---------------------------------
Okay, so lets get onto the next round! I know many of you celebrate holidays during this season, like Hannukah, Christmas, New Years, or Kwanzaa (and many more ^-^). I believe the deadline will be long enough though, for you to finish your wallpaper. THE DEADLINE FOR THE NEXT ROUND IS JANUARY 31. That gives you almost a month to finish your wallpaper.
REMEMBER: THIS WALLING ROUND IS ONLY FOR THE TWO TEAMS THAT WERE NOT ELIMINATED -- DIVINE RADIANCE AND FORSAKEN.
The next walling theme is called Euphoria. I wanted something happy this time, so here is an explanation of it -
euphoria can be associated with joy, and a feeling of bliss/happiness. Since this is a season of happiness and sharing,
you will wall something that inspires you and makes you happy. You are making a wallpaper to share your inspirations to
the MT community. My only request is that you make your wallpaper original and unique, and make it meaningful. I will
disqualify any wallpapers that are totally made up of sparkles because you love sparkles, or ones that are just heavenly
with no meaning in them because you like celestial beings. Its about your emotions, people, so put some thought into it.
I know the theme of this round is euphoria, but that does not mean your wallpaper has to be happy. If bloody people in
your wall makes you happy and inspires you to make a great piece of artwork, then so be it. Id rather see a great and
unique wall of a dead person rather than a sparkle, cloud filled angel wall that has nothing to represent.
Again, heres a poem. Might help inspire you ^-^ Sorry, its quite long.
"I abhor lack of inspiration
I loathe a lack of mystery and elation
I hate boredom and restriction
I detest the cold emptiness of motivation
Inspiration is a magnificent thing
I search everywhere for a spark
to set fire to the imagination
And I must cry myself to sleep
because of the shows I keep
watching mindlessly
with such heartless humour
When unconditional love
is the inspiration I seek
What will inspire unconditional love in me?
Allowing all to live and breathe and be
and most of all
allowing myself to be free?"
-Margaret Alice Koch
So what inspires unconditional love in you? For me, it would be nature. Nature can be gravely dangerous but breath-taking beautiful at the same time. It can destroy man yet inspire man. Hopefully you can all find your own inspiration in this round ^-^
