So Go at it then. Suggest a theme you would like to see for the next modeling contest. With the paired modeling contest closing up soon. I would like to get some themes together and make a poll for what the theme will be in MC21!
And I will list them here as people post.

THE LIST SO FAR



Theme Rough Description
1. Western... Ho-down Weeelll pull up a seat pilgrim and grab yer best ho for this down home ho-down of western debauchery! (maybe space western included?)
2. Nothing but a Pwn in Chess Your mission, should you choose to accept it... it to take a chess piece, and turn it into a unit (artistic interpretation GO!)
3. Vehicular Manslaughter Give the motor-head inside of you a raging boner! This free-for-all mechanical orgy will separate the boys from the men.
4.We are cyborg.... we are legion You and everyone you love will be assimilated into this soulless, calculating and efficient contest theme. Make your best half-organic, half-mechanical monstrosity and pray it doesnt kill you when you turn it on. Resistance to this theme... is futile.
5. Shapeshifters Shifting shapely shades of shadows. These creatures will give you nightmares. Behold! as they change shape BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES! What sort of creatures are they? Why do they have this ability? only you, the contestant can figure that one out.
6. CREEP - LIKE A BAOWSS What sort of man would combine those two songs? I'll tell you what kind. YOU! You have to make a boss unit of a creepy race in wc3.... bonus points if you make him dance.
7. Deadly sins The scourge of mankind, our greatest human flaws manifest in the form of wc3 models to wreak havoc on your custom maps. But who are we kidding? We all know that this is just an excuse for everyone to make a 'LUST' model of some hawt dame..... (and for pyramidhead to make one of gluttony)
-7a. Emo-kids Create a unit that epitomizes an emotion. Some creature or warrior or person that embodies a feeling, be that happy, sad, mad, sly, goofy, etc.
8. Pose as a team... CAUSE SHIT JUST GOT REAL! That's right, its time to make some legit squad units. And I'm not talking about a hydra, or some Siamese twins conjoined at the ass. I'm talking about MULTIPLE personality disorder here people! Its like a unit... within a unit. BWAAAOOOOMMMMM
9. WHAT? A RED SPY IN THE BASE? OH YEA! its time to make your own Benedick Arnold. One of your favorite little units from wc3 has gone darth vader on his team's ass and is now turnin tricks behind the enemy latrine. That means an orc in too-tight human shirts and skinny jeans, or a human in comically oversized orc armor.
10. Ima make sweet music with you Make a musical unit. Arthas' rock'n'roll bandmates? A unit that uses an instrument as a weapon? (like a big battle-axe aha... ( ಠ_ಠ) Or even a one man band! Get out your headphones 'n' turntables fellow DJs... cause we about to kick this party INTO OVERDRIVE! BWAAAOOOMMMaWAUBWUBWUBbuabubblubdub!
-10a. Musical Metaphor This theme is like the illegitimate love-child of theme 10. and 7a. Basically you make a unit that epitomizes a particular song. Like an avatar of awesome! Your mighty nightelf mohawk storms into battle to his favorite L80ETC song!.... SO its like if you were to make a theme song for someone... but IN REVERSE! :O
11. PANDA...MONIUM! What is black and white and red all over? .... ill give you a hit, its not an old dick tracey movie. ITS A GIANT KILLER PANDA! Our model section seems to have a shortage of monochromatic monstrosities, and its up to you to remedy this situation. So grab some bamboo and hunker down for this unBEARable contest.

Cyborgs - A unit that has both mechanical and organic parts

Shapeshifters - Organic units that morph into something else

Vehicle Free-for-All - Any mechanical vehicle is allowed

The Creep Boss - Make a boss unit for a wc3 creep race
 
CHESS UNIT!!!!

open interpretation is much better... >.>

EDIT:
k, some suggestions of mine:

- Squad Unit: A model made of multiple elements that act together and independently in its anims. (i.e goblin sappers, mortar team)

- Character: describe a well-defined personality and make a model look/act seemingly. (Sense of character should be very explicit in the animations)

- Dissident: pick two WC3 races to make a single unit: The first will be the race of origin of the unit (anatomy, nature) - the second will be the race it's aligned to currently. (culture, equipment, etc)

I dont think that suggestion is defined well enough to be a proper theme. its a bit similar to the 'emotional epitome' theme. since most 'characters' already express singular emotions.

Can I suggest a theme...?

How about 'Duo/Trio Unit' theme...
Something like making a unit consist of two to three units together...
Example of such models are the Human Mortar Team and the Goblin Sapper...

Okay, so spy disguised as enemy unit, depsite my platonic love to TF2, sounds... a bit uncreative.

Shapeshifters sounds like an awesome idea since you kinda like have to provide the unit with alternate forms - at least two of them. This could be even added to requirements - the unit has to have Morph animations, too.

Cyborgs... how can't someone be against those guys? They are deadly, soulless and kill ponies. Of course that's a great theme.

Squad model contest sounds damn useful and intresting too, I'm just worried this might end up with the original units like footmen beeing transformed into a whole squad of clones...

P.S. If you'll make a pony contest, this entire site is gonna burn in hell.




EDIT: Erm Anarch, changing Squad to Duo/Trio sounds like an actually good idea.

Yes, because "vehicles" which is in fact just "tanks" would make a so much more helpful theme.

Dunno if that's sarcasm (It looks like it is), but we kinda like had tank and siege vehicle contests already... otherwise, a Non-Combat vehicle (Truck, some construction machinery, transport, civilian aircraft or whatever else) could be a pretty intresting idea. What do you think?
 
Submerged units/buildings
(like water units are not useless enough, this is even more worthless)
Clockwork stuff
(I'm like the only who like this shit)
Plants
(ehh, it's just a boring doodad)
Workers
(wut??)
Spaceships
(this is just stupid)
Porn

There is not much chance that I join, so you don't need to take note of this post.
