Any Interest In a Fake Picture Contest?
0
posted03/18/2008 07:38 PM (UTC)by
It has come to my attention that as of late, a select group of community artists have grown a bit frustrated, others have become cocky, and more won't shut nor grow up. For these reasons, and for the sake of competition alone, I have concocted some preliminary plans and want to assemble a MKO Fake Picture Contest.
For those who have been here for a few years may remember Mobster4Christ's classic fake contests. These were the pinnacle of (Mortal Kombat) fake making goodness, including epic battles between some of the best fake picture makers to come through these forums, for example Minus_Zero and VenoMark.
While back in those days, fakes were a bit more mainstream and perhaps more prolific, I believe that with the current amount of active/semi-active fake makers that we could pull off a decently sized contest to establish who and who does not get bragging/ego points. For those of you that don't care so much for the whole ego thing and your only sake for entering a contest such as this is to gain those "coveted" Dragon Points, I could get in communication with moderators and shadow priests to make a Dragon Point reward a reality.
The purpose of this thread is simply this: I want to see if enough people are interested enough to make a contest a reality.
Some things that have yet to be determined are the following:
1) Who would host?
2) Would there be any restrictions on a fake's subject content?
3) If people are interested in becoming the best MK fake picture maker on MKO's forums.
If you are interested or have ideas for this possible contest, feel welcome to reply.

Brilliant post. That brought a lot of memories when you mention Mobster4Christ and VenoMark vs. Minus_Zero epic battle.
I wouldn't mind hosting this contest seeing as how I got nothing else to do then stand on the sidelines until I have and buy a good laptop and find the time. I think the rules and guidelines should be anything goes. That way, no one skill and abilities would be restricted. In my opinion, the key to advantage of being the best fake pic maker is how much can you actually edit and manipulate things.

Well I'm glad somebody else said it apart from me. At this point i don't think restrictions should be put on the artists (maybe in a future contest, who knows)
Count me in. I'm not interested in becoming the "best fake maker in MKO", I just love the idea of pitting good fakes against each other and seeing artists here getting inspired to create something.
EDIT: (Damn makes me wish I hadnt shown illusion and Tetra that sprite i was working on

Agreed, sign me up. Wise words, this is exactly what's missing from the glory days of MKO.

Excellent timing. I'm currently in a creative mood.
Without decent competition, how are we expected to improve. Sharing thoughts, and ideas is a step to betterment as well.
Fakes were amazing during the giolden age of fake making. I wish I'd been better back in the day.

Hell, I'm interested. Just on the merit that I can manipulate. I don't know about being the best though....and on another note, there's been some question in my mind as to what a "great fake" looks like. Cuz I wasn't around for some of the people you mentioned so I couldn't know to search the forums for them...That, and I guess all the critiquing and everything has made me curious.
I guess I mainly wanna see this happen so, I'll be a wild card as far as entering just yet.
Also, a thing to think about, is if I host the thing..I can divee out dps & skulls as seen fit. I'd just need to be the thread starter in that case. Otherwise...restrictions.

So there are some people interested in something like this..
I really don't mind who hosts this bad boy. I will if need be, but I would love to compete as well.
Oh, I think that the rules for this contest should be along the following:
Anything goes, except animations of any sort. Just a single image can be submitted.
Your guys' thoughts?

Definitely. It's only fair if you compete as well and the contest should just be a fake.
I loved the old fake contests from years ago, they were a lot of fun and made for some great fakes. I totally support this, even though I wont be entering yet.
EDIT: Oh, as for the questions: I think that for a return contest, we should give the creators freedom. There shouldn't be limitations or a particular subject just yet, but I think it would be interesting to do in future contests if this one turns out cool.

I'd dust off the ol' Photoshop to enter this. Bring it on!
I would like to see at the very least 5 people competing in this contest. On that note, if we get a suitable amount of time, like a week, I would be a definite. I just don't have the time to sit straight through and finish a fake in two or three days. However, my spring break is coming up so.. yeah.
The biggest thing I am worried about is who will host. Whoever hosts needs to be on the same page with us, as to not create a clusterfuck. Shadow priests and Mods would be preferred, but if you would like to host please reply here or get to me via PM or the IRC chat on this site.
In other news, while we're waiting on this to get straightened out, I should be posting a fake today, hopefully to increase the attention to this fake picture contest.

If you've got another one going on in the summer time I'll compete.

Yo StonedSour is great to see that you're still here. I'm still rockin' the sig you made me.
.
And like I said, I wouldn't mind hosting it. People can send me their fakes to my email and I should upload them on my photobucket account.

If this contest is a success, you can bet on more in the future. I would imagine a few times a year would be beneficial. I don't want to have too many of these... simply for the fact that it would get old and not many people would compete. If we did quarterly contests, more people could get in.. I would love to do one in the summer, if this one is a success.

Okay, sweet. You can host if you want, we've talked about this quite a bit. I'll give you some specifics in PM when I get the chance.

Glad you're still wearing it, it's a classic. :]
And as long as there's a definate timeframe, then I'm in. Enough time for me to create something, dismiss it as crap and start again should suffice.
Also, it's nice to see someone try and inject some life back into this site!

Since illu§ion's sponsored contest seems to be moving forward and pretty much addresses what's proposed here, this one can be closed.
