So with the break around finally, some of you may or may not be more bored. With this, I propose that with enough participates, we can start a weekly Graphics contest.

Each contestant will have 3 days to make their graphics and submit it to me (or whoever hosts the contest) by PM or by posting in this topic. There are different catagories we could create; freestyle (submit any type of graphic), semi restrictive (one or two parts of the graphics must follow a certain style) and restrictive (you are given all the renders, fonts and colours available and are to make the best of them).

The graphics must follow the pre existing forum rules about images.
http://bartiforums.com/boardrules/

All images must be original and non-existent beforehand. (Renders, stocks and fonts do not count).

Once all submitments are in, they will be shown in a poll in another thread, which you may not comment in. All comments are to stay here.

The polls will last for 3 days, and on the 7th day, the polls will close and the winner gets some honorary prize, and gets to choose the details of the next contest.

Each contest will only start when there's at least 3 participants.

Where and how you make the graphics is your choice.

So...any takers?

I un-volunteer myself, on the grounds that I am not, in fact, bored, as between working, I'm occupying myself kicking Gladstone and David's asses at Dawn of War, and building Linux from scratch.

You got lucky every time -_-

It seems very interesting & if I knew how to make computer graphics, I would have taken part.

Newbies are welcome. Making something decent doesn't take very long if you read a few tutorials and actually have time to play around in a program.

Um, might be later Nero. Not this time. But if people are posting their work here. I can give expert advice on whose is good & whose isn't. But I will prematurely advice you not to take my advice.
