Title: Mini Contest
Post by: Eeems on November 26, 2011, 12:19:28 am

I am happy to announce that I finally got my new laptop this week, and with my laptop AMD was kind enough to send me a coupon for a free Dirt3 game via steam. I myself don't really want this game but if anybody else does, well I have the contest for you :)

The contest will end in one week ( 7:00am MST Friday December 2, 2011 ).
The contest will be to showcase your image editing abilities instead of programming as we usually do :P

So here are the rules:
Your entered picture must be original, and made only by you.
You can use other images as resources in yours, so long as they do not make up the majority of your entry. ( So no one image source and then just apply a filter or two )
You have to enter it before the deadline or you will be disqualified.
You must be older then 16 ( Small print on the coupon. Sorry guys :/ )
Your image must stick to the theme.
No breaking any laws or any rules on the forum with your image. ( So no pr0n etc ).
There may be country restrictions on who can receive it. Not sure if there is though. The coupon doesn't say.

What I want from you guys is an image that embodies Omnimaga. So it embodies it's values, it symbolizes the community etc. Be creative, just make it have to do with Omnimaga.

also, here is the rest of the fine print:

Spoiler For fine print:

The winner will get the coupon code as well as have their artwork displayed in the news post talking about the winner ( you can plug your website if you want in that as well ). Your artwork is still yours and Omnimaga/Eeems do not claim any rights to any artwork entered into the contest. I just want to see what you guys can come up with in a week :)

Why over 16?

Nice idea Eeems :) Can I enter?

Also I guess you have to be 16+ because the game is rated 16+. Also you might want to get Steam if you win too.

That's just what the fine print on the coupon says/me points to the spoilered fine print

I would guess so lol. Make sure it's ok with your parent or guardian first though before entering and specifically state that.

You might want to add that there might be country restrictions on it.

That was in the fine print, which I added all of it. I'll make it more noticeable by adding it to the rules section.

How do we submit the image once we make it.
I'm not great with paint but I think I might as well try

Title: Re: Mini Contest
Post by: Eeems on November 29, 2011, 11:08:13 pm

I forgot to say that didn't I X.x
Just pm me with the image.

You should increase the time that we have to make it!
I do an occasional furry picture :D
But sometimes takes me forever to get in all the highlights and such... (I spent a week on making FOX)
But now i am working on 2 nintendo characters!
Mario, FOX, and TROGDOR!!! Will be holding up teh omnimaga symbol and the words. "The Game" above...
But this might take me a week or two, due to other work im involved in :D
If you wanna take teh idea go ahead, (but have fun on ms paint xD)

If I don't get enough entries I will extend the time limit by one week.

If it wasn't for the fact my album cover was made before the contest, I would probably have submitted this. Not that it represents every Omni memes nor the calc stuff, but it still has the blue part, the Axe representing Quest for the legendary Axe (which was kinda Axe Parser theme song), the moon (which represented Omnimaga darkness themed forum theme/banner in the past) and the stars, which were actually ripped from a 2005 Omnimaga background. There was also of course my nickname logo, which has a part that uses similar fonts as the ones in the 2001 banner)

Post by: ruler501 on December 01, 2011, 04:10:38 am

I'll submit a preview of mine a little later in case I dont get to finish it

warning it is what my mind came up with for omni at 2 in the morning and about 1-2 hours of work

EDIT: The first hour and a half got me this (http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/0-Omnimaga.jpg)
I know I'm kindof slow just I kept trying to make all the tiny details you cant see perfect

Title: Re: Mini Contest
Post by: Eeems on December 01, 2011, 11:02:15 pm

Just a reminder that the contest ends tomorrow at 7am MST. 10 hours to go. I only have 2 entries, I would like or two more more :)

Title: Re: Mini Contest
Post by: ruler501 on December 01, 2011, 11:31:25 pm

Alright the contest is closed but I only have two entries. If nobody else expresses the wish to enter by the end of the day I'll judge what I've recieved, otherwise I'll extend the contest for the weekend.

Alright the contest is over and there were only two entries. I wish I could give you both the prize but I can't since I only have one copy. I'll post a news article in the morning with the winner and then contact them so they can get their prize :)
