*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 ::
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 ^-^
Any questions? feel free to PM me or ask in this thread.
oh, of course there are rules
-must be larger than 1024x768
-1 wallpaper per participant
-no hentai (but bare skin is allowed...just please keep it PG-13 rated)
-no collabs
Oh, we didn't make it
But! thanks for saving me
I'll be happy to keep on with this contest, my new team is Forsaken! So i'll do
my best
Thanks again for considering me, i'm glad
Need to start walling!
Oh, yes, I'd like to know about the individual scores and the critiques, so
starr, I would love if you could PM me later
Merry Christmas and Congratulations everyone!
Wow, we are not in the contest anymore but congrats to the winners..and I also
think if I were in the two teams that won I would have my difficulties for the
new theme because I suck in making happy-wallies .
Oh yea you can count me in for round two! It sucks my team didnt pull through,
but im glad you chose me to continue on! ^_^
Anyway...congrats to the two winning teams! And im curious on what the jusges
critiques were as well, if they feel there is something I can improve upon I
would very much like to hear it!
Oh wow. our team made it! yay. I am so happy! but now I
have to worry about another wall. lol.But the new theme sounds very cool and
interesting. I hope I can come up with something soon. Well
Congrats to everyone!
uhhh.. is Divine Radiance my team? i
don't remember anymore, haha..
congratulations to the people who passed.. whoever they were lolz. great job. i
wished i could see your walls...
ooo mee.. if I AM in Divine Radiance... gwah.. it's another wallie before the
20th. can we extend? to the end of January instead? I'm kinda having difficulty
now walling because of work.
thank you!
and uh, euphoria somehow sounds like happiness due to the effect of drugs..
lolz.. is euphoria "good" happiness or "bad"
happiness?
and another request - can i see the list of those who passed and their entries?
i haven't been browsing so i wasn't able to see the submission of the others.
thanks!
*nervous*
Yay! We got through!
Im so glad *sobs*
Its kinda touching to see every post here...
I know its corny... maybe its just coz Im listening to dis awefully sad song
right now...
COngrats everybody!
I agree with blueangel...
can we postponed the deadline to the end of January?
And... I also kinda want to see the walls from the other team...
ehehe... Sorry for the troubles!
I didn't understand exactly how the judgement thing was done, but anyway,
congrats for those who stayed.
And good luck next phase.
(I'm kind of glad my team was cuted off, because I have no idea how to wall
euphoria... )
We made it! YAY! I'm so happy! I'm also kinda sad for the teams that didn't make
it, but it's true, now we have to deal with the pressure again! Oh, my God! i'm
kinda euphoric now, and still have no idea of how to wall that! I guess I'm
gonna have to squeeze my brains really hard this time. Anyways, congrats to all
the winner, especially my teamates! Go, Forsaken!
Yay! were still alive!
Euphoria is a cool theme, got a right idea of this
congrats for all that are in this next round
and agree with BlueAngel and Rikka-chan, at the end of Jan could be great
so pweeeezzzz! deadline at the end of the month!
gambatte for everyone!
