Duplicates Gameplay - Round 2

Wed Apr 06, 2005 10:29 am

I'll make this much simpler for everybody.

Basically it's a game in whcih I post a picture and then you try to draw that picture as best you can. However, to make things a little harder you must draw them to my specifications, if I say no green you must not use green. If I say you must only draw squares then you must only draw squares to duplicate the picture.

You must have an art programme to compete. Paint will suffice but you may find it easier to compete with something more advanced.

You will need to host your own images for the duration of the contest, to do so you must upload them somewhere on the internet. Some good free sites to upload onto are :

http://www.1asphost.com
http://www.photobucket.com
http://www.imageshack.us

Rounds will last between 3 and 5 days depending on how difficult the round is.

Selected judges, including myself, will decide on which two pictures look least like the original image (requirements will be taken into account). The creators will be eliminated.


Because this contest is all ab out fun and drawing skills, you may not use images from the internet unless I state otherwise. This includes tube brushes on programmes such as Paint Shop Pro.

Free trials/Free imaging programmes :

Paint Shop Pro 9
GIMP
Macromedia Fireworks

The grand almighty super duper ultra prize is...not a heck of a lot :P

1st Place :- 15,000 NP
2nd Place :- 10,000 NP
3rd Place :- 5,000 NP

Round One -

I decided to be nice and let Yesitish into the game even though he never PMed me asking to play.

Round one is up, however, the judges are not. I have selected them but I decided that even they should play at least one round. Basically, everybody who signed up must compete for this round. I will reveal the judges after the time limit is up and the judges will judge all work except that of the judges.

Play as if you're a contestant, don't rely on the fact that you'll be judge.

The first picture you must duplicate is :

A beachball Hotlinked to prevent stretching. Seems simple right ?? Right ??

Anyways...

Due Date : Saturday 9th

Now do we pm you our drawings or do we post them here.

O man, mine turned out really bad, I'm only working with the basic paint. I have a feeling I won't last very long...

I'm going to use my pixel artist skills and try to make it as small as possible hoping you won't realize how crappy it is :P

Cool, looks like fun. Personally, I think TDG should have to try it too. :P

I'm assuming we post here since it seems a bit like PPTTG, but I'll wait for an answer on that. And I've almost finished mine... it looks deflated though.

What size do we make it? And do we post it here or pm it to you.

Thu Apr 07, 2005 5:25 am

You can make it any size you want, but remember that the object is to make it as much like the original asa possible...

And post it here.
