Welcome, all of you fake artists...this is the return of the Official MKOnline Fake Picture Kontest.

Due to the extreme hiatus of the last actual contest here on MKOnline/MK5.ORG and the diminished amount of fakes and their artists, I have decided that this contest will have only one rule and please carefully!

1) Only restriction is that the submitted fake must be only a single image. No animation/flashes or sequential/storyboard fakes. I will accept PNG or JPEG format as long as it does not take too much bandwidth. [keep in mind that photobucket reduces everything].

The deadline to enter and submit your fake for this contest is before April 4, Friday. If we get all the fakes from who have committed to the contest either in MKRocket's prior thread or in this one, I will go ahead and post the fakes for the judging process, early. If you wish to enter or wish to remain anonymous, please contact me via P.M or send me an email:
dark_illusion_mk@yahoo.com

You can submit more than one fake, BUT you must specify which you want to be the official one for me to post.

For this contest, I and some other members have come up with a new and unique method for judging within this competition. Now instead of just having the main "Best Fake [Overall]," we will also be determining:

- Best background
- Best sprite(s)
- Most original idea

Dragon point will be rewarded but there some members that really do not care about dragon points. Nevertheless, the grand prize [which goes to "Best Fake Overall"] will be 5 dragon points and the three lesser categories will be 3 dragon points each. So in theory, one could get a whopping 14 dragon points if he or she owns this contest.

Please do not plagiarize anyone else's art. You will be caught and embarrass to the point where hiding behind your monitor will no longer be safe.

Thank for reading and I wish everyone the best of luck. Take your time. View the links provided in this Fan Art Section or play some video games to get inspired.

This post will be updated when all fakes are in OR the deadline is up!

[Update 3/19/08: I'm disallowing the use of old fakes in this contest to eliminate bias and the use of plagiarized works. ]
[Update 3/30/08: I have extended the deadline till April 4th which is Friday. No questions asked.] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Updated 4/4/08]
First and foremost, I want to thank all those participants for keeping their word by submitting their fake pics on time and entering this contest. Looking at these fake pictures, I can tell many people worked hard and use their time wisely while other people had their own personal issues and I really don't blame them; is not easy balancing school affairs and work, etc. Been there, done that.
I'm actually pretty damn happy seeing so many new artists stepping up to prove themselves. The ideology of fake pic making has change a lot and it shows how many artists have their own distinct style. Congratulations to all those artists; ya'll should be proud of yourselves. I wouldn't mind hosting another contest. So with out wasting everyone's time, here are the fakes which I won't be casting my vote. Good luck. smile

If I remember correctly from over viewing in the past, I believe these contests had a great deal of flamewars, favoritism (people knew other's styles and would vote for them biasly), and general failure.

Then again, I could be mistaken, as the last few contests took place while I was in hiatus.

I would say no, just because the entries will be posted with their creators remaining anonymous until the end results are posted. This 'helps' reduce bias. If you use an old fake, it can create a fair/unfair bias.

Surely if you want to enter, you can make something by April 1st. =l

However, I will let Illusion decide on this matter.

I've been studying for my exams dam near all day today, and I realize how much I hate college (aside from the weekends).... I need a break from this routine class-study-sleep shit.
So now I'll just cut through the crap and say: Ah fuck it, i'll join in.
It's been over a year since I actually made a fake picture (those fakes I submitted earlier were old and I'm surprised nobody caught on to that) so this should hopefuly rekindle my interest in making fakes. If I don't finish I'll still submit what I did complete. The fact all my ideas take more than one picture to portray is going to kill me, but I am trusting this will be fun (rather then feeling like a chore and becomes boring after 3 hours of editing - like most fakes these days).

But anyway... April 1st sounds like a reasonable date. If I seriously lose interest I'm just going to submit my shit early and move on with whatever grasped my attention and focus - most likely programming assignments.

illu§ion, if I got the guts to try my hand at a contest, damn it, you should too. it's only fair smile

Nothing personal, but it seems as though people aren't reading what the rules are....You can submit your fake when you are done so I can upload it onto my photobucket account. If I get all the fakes before the due date, I shall post them early for the voting to start.

I just wanted to make this very clear:

Do NOT post your fakes on ANY forum. Please either P.M. Illusion with the link to your fake OR email him the image in .png or .jpeg formats. Once he has your fake he will upload the fakes to his server and possibly rename the files to make sure there is no bias or clues on who made them.

Also, I want to stress that people DO NOT put a sig/tag with a username/name on it. This contest is trying to level out the playing field instead of making it a glorified popularity fest like a couple in years past.

Once the contest is over, you can put your tags on the image and post it on the forums if you want more viewing or critiquing.

Another thing I want to cover is this:

Not everyone works at the same pace, or tries to perfect their image as much as others may. So if you have completed or will complete your fake soon, please be patient for those who don't have as much time or are more perfectionist in nature.

I recommend that all of you spend as much time perfecting as you can.

Especially when you have 3 programming assignments due between now and April 1st furious




I am surprised so many people turned up for this contest. I'm actually excited to see all the submissions

Me too. The last few comps, iirc, had little to no interest or the host took off.
This might rekindle the fan sub forum. I'm not a fan of text fanfics.
