I support this, but maybe as a minicontest?
I also think that some restriction would be fine -like indoor or sci fi-, but since Hive is lacking of tile skins, this is a great idea!

i guess if it was a contest(not mini) and with high rep prize, i will attract more hivers and make them do more effort

 

[chr2]

Well, the theme is pretty boring, and considering how few active skinners there are on Hive, I don't reckon this will receive much participation. I could be wrong though.

Okay, first things first:
You have plenty of typos in that post.

Second:
45% by public poll!?!? That's way too much, ~20% should be sufficient.

Third:
Quality? Okay, I can agree with that criterion, but:
Look? What's that supposed to be? Do you get more points for shiny textures or golden areas?

Fourth:
Any tile? That seems to be a pretty vide area to cover...
Put some restrictions here.

Fifth:
You can just divide all the ratings by 5.
Quality: 7 Points
Usefulness: 9 Points
"Look": 4 Points
That should be sufficient to judge potential entries.

i guess that the tile will be made for hivers, not judges so they should pick (but maybe should be reduced to 30-35)

well what i meant by "Quallity" is the deference of making a really good 3d looking tile and making a blurry\ low detailed tiles

 

[I3lackDeath]

You explained Quality, but I wondered about Look.

well, i meant the difference between making a too mainstream\ not lookin nice and making a nice thing, but i think we dont need this and we can remove it right??

 

[chr2]

Even though I do not approve of the theme of this contest, the Look criteria could be replaced by Creativity. I reckon that's more or less what you were going for anyway, and it should cover a wider area.

stonneash, have you looked at previous Skinning contests, to see the various criteria, rules etc?

I mean, the next thing that jumps my eye are the winner reputation points.
85 for the first place, of a TILE skinning contest?

Well i think a high rep amount will attract more ppl to join and make them do more effort in each submission, the hive don't have a lot of tiles

 

[I3lackDeath]

Tilesets are mostly small, and 85 reputation for such a theme is unjustified.

Is 50 Okay??

 

[sonofjay]

Actually 25 should be enough for the winner of a tile making contest, I mean making a tile is a bit easy... if nan0 find this contest he'll surely get that huge rep points while throwing 3-5 submissions in one or two days. >.>
