The Graphic Wars
Contest Ends: October 1st​

Wait, what?

The Graphics War, each soldier will build themselves an army to fight for them! Then your armies will fight it out until just one Army remains standing, but how do you know your army is winning? Support, the army with the highest support has the most troops and will claim victory in the name of their lord.

I still don’t get it…


Well then, let’s cut to the chase. This is a contest. The idea is that each contestant must submit only one of each of the following:

~ 1 Signature (300 – 400 pixels wide, 100 – 150 pixels tall)
AmazingSpiderman3.png
~ 1 Side Bar (100 – 150 pixels wide, 300 – 400 pixels tall)
LadyLuck.png
~ 1 User Bar (350 pixels wide, 19 pixels tall)
FinalFantasycopy-1.jpg
~ 1 Avatars (100 pixels square)
PandarenAvatar.jpg
~ 1 Large Piece (400 – 700 pixels wide, 400 – 700 pixels tall)
IronColossus1.png

Yes, you must submit five pieces of work. (All examples were created by me)

The Catch!

They must all follow one theme, they need to fit together, no, not like a puzzle, I am talking about one thing in it unifies all the pieces. Maybe they all use characters from (insert generic anime no one actually cares about here) or maybe they are all about outer space, or cats, or maybe they all only use blue and purple colours.

Appeal (50)

Looking at each piece individually, how do they look? Do we want to look at it all day or does it make use feel like how we feel when we swallow a toothpick on fire covered in parrots?

Effects (50)

Are your effects overpowering, are there too many of them? Like in a strange bondage orgy fantasy or is there nothing there? Such as the case some girls have probably told you.

Theme (100)

Does the theme you chose shine through each piece you made or are they all different from each other? Did you make 5 various styles of tacos or did you make 2 tacos and 3 nachos?

What if all of them use stocks, or all of them are sprites. Are there specific limits to this rule? I would understand the relation if they were all sprites but what if the relation is simply all use C4D's or Renders? I'm guessing you would just ask/pm but I'm just getting this out there

Is that a typo, or am I just totally misunderstanding this rule? It seems contradictory. :confused:

I think it was a attempt at humour, I was like wtf? when I read that too. I'm guessing you are encouraged to show your work.

Yeah I think Pineapple was trying to do something like "I don't like it, I LOVE IT!" but failed miserably.

Silent:

Let them do that, they will lose big time on Theme category, and thats half there grade.

I'm not quite clear on the theme. What's better, 5 tacos or 2 tacos and 3 nachos? And it's a serious question >_<

Also, what are the requirements for a judge.

The 5 tacos are better. It's better to have the complete set of all 4 ninja turtles than 3 turtles and a barbie doll.

+I think userbars don't contribute much and should be taken out. They are very easily made and the small sizes don't give you much space to showcase your abilities. Meaning they will probably look similar to each other.

Also

Also
I think Appeal should be removed and replaced with Originality and Technique (T > O). I've seen some very unique looking works but the person just didn't do well in executing it.

Also

I sent you a pm =D

Dude. Wait more then two hours for a response. I highly doubt you'll be picked as a judge. Pineapple will probably want someone reliable that has been around for awhile. Its nothing personally against you.

If I were given a chance, I might participate to judge. I got good judgement in art and I can judge quite well; but not from a technical view point. I'm not too good in making the art but I am good in judging it basically :p

Well nachos and tacos are someone related, as tacos and barbies aren't, so I'd still like for Pineapple to answer this :p.

I think userbars are great, for the reason you posted. It's a chance to make something unique, yet something simple. As in, a userbar has certain 'guidelines', but the participants would need to still make it somehow different from the others.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
