Lucario - Pokemon #448 - Contest Announcement!

First off, there will be the stereotype three rounds, and what's wrong with that? XD
Now, anyone can enter in the first round, but after that, I am NOT allowing anyone to enter the contest in the second.

You will be judged on these 4 elements:
-Shading (20 Points)
-Creativity/Originality (20 Points)
-Colors and Design (20 Points)
-Paragraph telling how the skin relates to the theme (10 Points)
There will be a bonus 1-10 points if you added anything to your skin that makes it stand out from the rest in some way or another.

First Round
March 20th - March 31st
The theme for this round will be artwork. You have to take any piece of artwork, it could be made by anyone, as long as you give them credit and its not inappropriate. The artwork should be some kind of drawing or whatever XD
You have to make a skin based off the general feel of the artwork or something that stands out in it.

I realize this was the theme of the Creative Skinning Contest thing I was hosting (Week 2's theme), but I closed that down. If you made a skin or are finishing up a skin for that, feel free to message me to put it in this round's collection, so it won't go to waste.

About 1/3 of the contestants will be eliminated from this round, depending on how many people there are.

Second Round
April 3rd - April 20th
The theme for this round is going to be Pokemon hybirds (which, as I recall, means a combination XD). The name stands for itself. Basically, take two Pokemon, and mix them, but don't just make one side Pikachu, one side Charmander, do something creative that makes em' stand out. (What, this skin is Lucario, so....)

About 1/2 of the remaining contestants will be eliminated from this round. It also depends on how many people there are.

Third and Final Round
April 20th - May 3rd
Okay, so for this last round, you have to skin an inanimate object, or something that is non-living. Make a lamp, a bookcase, or something :D Creativity and how you made the skin is major on this part of the contest, so good luck ;)

Like I said, I don't care how many people enter, but you can't join the contest when round 2 begins. To enter, just say you wanna enter, or make your skin and send me the link to the PMC page it's on. Skins must be made NEW, not from previous dates before the contest. Once you post your entry or say you'll join, I'll put your name on the list below, just so I know that your in. A collection will be made with each round's entries.

Good luck!
