Main RPG: Design a Chapter Cover Contest

[Chibi Jen]

Please let me know your thoughts, and vote on the poll above. This is in preparation for the upcoming 2nd Anniversary of the Main RPG which runs on the forum (1st Apirl).

Hmm.... definitely can't think of something better... for the time being anyway... drawing anything is a little too broad...
I'm not too for the poster idea (what's the poster about?) any 2 characters is nice if there were some rules to it (ie 2 unlikely characters together or something like that) battle and cover I also like, (would we have to all try to do different chapters? I think that would be better) hm..... hard to choose

guess I should hear other people's opinions before I can make a definite choice, but these are my comments for each.

[Chibi Jen]

Thanks for the feedback Bell; and yeh the poster is almost like the 'draw anything we like' one except its for a lot of characters...almost like for the cover of the whole story, instead of chapters hmm..true; thats a little bit broad... (donno how many people r willing to draw more than 1 or 2 characters in the contest)

'Design a cover for a chapter' contest - I think most like RPG role players would find a chapter their character plays more of a role in to draw =) same with battle scene. If its for a cover, i suppose it should have some rules saying it dipicts an the whole chapter, or the most important part of it =)
Draw a battle scene - this sounds good =)
Design a poster contest -
Group picture ones would be more interesting to see, but not sure how many would participate in them.
Draw any 2 characters together-easier out of the previous following
Open one; Draw anything we like RPG related -too broad as Bell said.

[Blox]

I'm a bit torn with the top three choices but I went with poster, since I like posters. My room is more posters then walls even. Still it is true that it takes the most effort and likey not many plp will respond well.

[Digital Leonardo]

I like the Cover for a Chapter idea. I think it will be really cool if we get one for each chapter. All the ideas are cool, but I don't like the open-ended ones. Too general.

[Belldandy]

I agree with Digilee. How big is the poster anyway? (maybe we need more details on each?) Yea, the poster will take quite a lot of work and it's important for people to want to participate.

I think I'm now torn between battle scene and chapter cover. They give you more of an idea of what the characters will be doing in the picture. I guess you could choose a chapter with fighting and do a battle-scene-chapter-cover. but you can't go the other way: do a non-fighting battle scene (for chapters with no fighting or for people who don't want to draw a battle scene)
so... I've decided to choose chapter cover - provided we all get different chapters to do

[Chibi Jen]

Seems like the Cover one is being favoured most... cause although the battle scene would look really cool, but it makes me wonder how many would participate in it (I know it was difficult convincing members to draw one character even..lol) Like Bell said, you can always put a battle scene picture as the cover if u wanted to.

Now we gotta allocate the chapters with those participating. It's not compulsory that u draw the chapter cover for the one where your character appears in (just seems likely players would want to draw their own character)

I've reposted this up here for those who are considering which chapter to draw:

Please show your interest by replying to this topic with thechapter you would like to do- Intermission is included. Despite organising this contest, I will also be participating and doing one of the chapter covers

[Belldandy]

Making it random would be fun (but then you may not get a chapter with your character there) again the main thing is for people to participate. We should try to contact the others and see if they can enter the contest asap. I can't wait to start but I don't want to choose a chapter in case some one else wants to do it.

[Blox]

I'll take Chapter 6 since if noone else wants it in perticular. Otherwise I'll go for 2.

[Digital Leonardo]

I kind of want to take a chapter with Gato and Namir in it (since I enjoy drawing em so much). I think Chapter 3 or 5 for me, cause I loved chapter 5.
Then again, I'd take any.

[sagararuseiya]

i'll take 4 -5

[Blu]

Design a Chapter Cover Contest (Main RPG) Guidelines

* Must design a cover for the chapter which you have been allocated.
* The Design of the cover must reflect the 'high point' of the chapter. You may like to take into consideration What was most memorable, what battle scene occurred, and if any new characters were introduced (if they were main in the chapter or not)
* Note, the cover design does not have to depict a scene in the chapter (i.e everyone sitting in an Inn) Be creative
* Must be your own drawing
* Minimum of 3 characters must be featured on the cover (no limits on maximum)
* Image must be portrait i.e vertical
* Must be in colour
* Should contain a background of some sort
* Should not contain stick figures or Super-deformed characters
EDIT: * Does not need Chapter Number on it, as long as you have a place for text to be placed (incase we decide on one font for all chapters)

... did I miss anything? Deadline on 25 Fab 06.
