[kari0003]

So sad that he is a judge, and he couldn't participate...

 

[Azurot]

Screw you guys! This is my final, put it down as my final.

 

[fladdermasken]

I'll give you guys a slim margin of time to perfect things if you want to.

Let's say till I get the poll up.

Meehh, because I'm a lazy bastard and you think I'm allowed to enter the contest with my Device terrain, as Gnomes or Goblins... well count me in..

 

[fladdermasken]

Sweet.

Post.Here.Now.

I know it's easier to just judge than actually do things. I'm not trying to be bad here, just want to point out my opinion.

I've seen many contest here at Hive's and probably this is the first one that i have to dissapoint. If you take a look at first page, the description of the contest will say something like this...

Participants are to capture a race from the Warcraft lore's special style of construction and portray how it interacts with their habitat/natural enviroment.

I've seen the progress of this contest and the final entries of everyone, like 2 post before this one, and i know this is supposed to show more creativity than anything else.

But if you take a look on details on every image, there is always something that makes no sense with the Wc3 race /style of construction. But specially none of of the entry's show how it interacts with their habitat/natural enviroment.

Out of this personal point of view, congratz to all the participants, while 2 of you didn't showed me a new style, sure made me like some WIP's.

I understand what are you saying, and you are mostly right. Anyway, I tried make it look like my elves are living in ahrmony with their forest. I think it doesn't show in the picture, but I made many connections between the trees and the platforms on which the houses of the background stand.




@FLADDERMASKEN:
When will the poll be open?

 

[fladdermasken]

When I post it.

No, but really I can't tell you exactly when by the minute. But if you're looking to change something in your entry, get on it as soon as you can. I'll probably have the poll up tomorrow as things currently stand.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Okay, thanks

Hi noob! Anyone isn't pro?

What desu~?

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Excuse me, but does the contest allow entries made before the beginning of the competition?

Mr. Goblin made his entry a long time ago.

Also, I remember him saying that he used Photoshop because it is impossible to create the right atmosphere with only Warcraft III World Editor.

Please, do not take this as an offense of any kind, but I think that it isn't right to allow his entry.

This is the post. In it, Mr.Goblin clearly says that he used Photoshop.

If I may quote the rules of this contest:

No image editing tools may be used to enhance the terrain (however you may use them to crop).

I don't have anything personal against Mr.Goblin, I actually like him, but I really think that his work shouldn't be allowed in this contest.
Again, please, do not take this seriously.

He didn't do it before the launch, he did it mid-way.

Yep, I was hoping he would post the version that hasn't been tampered with. I won't include the photoshopped version.

I'm fine with him entering by these premises, but if there's strong opposition then I will exclude him.

Yes he does indeed. Also, when did he even start this? And 2 screenshots? Unacceptable.

Edit: As far as I can tell he started this before the contest started, yet another breaking of the rules.

The contest launched 02-16-2012, 11:55 PM.

He posted his terrain 02-27-2012, 02:23 AM.

Only one will be included.

The un-shopped one.

When he posted doesn't state when he started. I could post a terrain on the 25th of April that I started in 2009, and didn't finish yet.

Second off, he didn't post a single WIP. Yet another neglect of the rules. So how can we just take him on his word, that he started during the contest, if he has no dated WIPs.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I clearly been lazy about it.. I'll remove my post and post a proper submission.

Sorry.. and I'm glad you guys are actually alert about this!

 

[fladdermasken]

This applies to every single entry.

Sure, there's the theme to consider. But we're passing more and more of it off as coherent enough to be accepted anyways. That rule is only there to promote the idea, I don't know of any case where it's actually been/had to be enforced.

I clearly been lazy about it.. I'll remove my post and post a proper submission.

Make it in hidden tags or as a thumbnail, you wretch.

:]

 

[kari0003]

What makes me thinking, that he can actually win the contest with this entry ^^ If the terrain would be an average submission, i'd say be it ^^
Don't think that I'm selfish, i'm not. Seriously.

 

[fladdermasken]

I'm going to put the poll up in a couple of minutes.

Sorry Goblin you old bastard, looks like I might have to exclude you from this one.

EDIT: Poll up.
