Title: Contest ideas ?
Post by: SillySmilez on January 25, 2012, 06:33:38 AM
I have too much ponies and I want to organize a contest with a small pony prize pool :)
Does anyone have ideas for the topic ?

ooh i love contests!

hmm what about an art contest where you have to use at least 1 material that isn't used for painting (things like: yarn, cotton, glitter, gemstones, stuff like that :) )

Contests are fun!!!  You could go with a theme, or some sort of common material.  Or even a coloring contest  :)

Do a previous Gen pony as a g4? Skeletonimp that sounds fun but it leaves out digital artists.
 
Do you have a favorite pony?

I vote for a theme! Could be anything from a word to a specific event.
Though I think it would need to be specified if OC's are allowed or only official ponies and if both are allowed.
Contests are exciting and fun~

i would go with a theme, too.
skelletonimp, that's a cute idea, but i fear i'll have to agree with IIya - as a digital artist, I wouldn't be able to participate...

It is indeed a great idea, but a shame for the digital artists :/

@shimmer : I was thinking about including all ponies (Hasbro and OC's)

I'm assuming all entries must be ponies and not humanised ponies? ^^;

@Thanks, Skelletonimp!

Anthro is *slightly* different to humanoid. Humanoid requires the creature to be mostly human, with animal characteristics. The closest I'd see happen with that is a human with horse legs, like Pan. Maybe with a horn or wings for a pegasus or unicorn.

woah! i didnt know it were subcategories :P i have to start naming it crossbreed or something XD
I often just draw an animal head and tail on human body, other times i draw the limbs with animal shape too.

Well, not really official ones. To me, an anthro doesn't have a human head. Humanoid to me has a human head and add ons that aren't human, like Pan, or a mermaid. That's what I class my Arkillian Dragon souls (http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs12/i/2006/306/2/0/Arkillian_Dragon_Soul_by_Arkillian.png) as. There are titles like kemonomimi that also apply ( like cat ears or a tail or something like that). That's how I class it. One person is different to another though. Yours I'd class as anthro cause it's a horses head. That's an animal with a human body to me.

A little. Mostly other characters

He's the 'Dark dragon', so his soul is almost black and his powers are fire.

This is all that is posted on my DA account of their souls. :)
