Well, I'm bored, and when I'm bored, I start to think. So I came up with this idea: a Tile Making contest! I was hoping to get some people who's interested. The entries will be annonymous, but the votes won't (so it doesn't turn into a popularity contest)
Not really many rules. Just make a tile of the random thing the I think of, for example: a Shine Sprite from Super Mario Sunshine. For each contest I'll set a limit on the size, like 1 tile, or 2x2 tiles max. It'd obviously have to be able to fit into ZC. Another matter is just taking sprites that are already made. Now, nobody knows if someone really has made what they submitted, but all I can hope is that the entries are custom. But if you've seen the tile someone's submitted somewhere else, by all means, tell me, but you MUST have a URL showing the site that has it (without it, your rant will be ignored)
This is just something to do, and I hope it'll get off the ground. Just post some feedback about this, whether you like it or not, or anything that you don't like about the rules. And also if you'd like to take part.
Edit: different tidbits that should be said:
There are NO judges
If this gets started, i'll try to do it WEEKLY (sometimes I might not be here.)
This will be done exactly like the photoshop contest. I tell you what to draw, and you make it within the time limit (about 4 or 5 days, not sure which.) and then I'll give 2 days for voting. I'll post the pics myself, so nobody knows who's is who's and then you vote. I'll tell you who made the winning tile, of course, but I'll leave the others annonymous.
ALL entries are to be PMed to me (if you can't host it yourself, ask me for my e-mail, and e-mail it to me)
Every once in a while, I MAY just happen to vote. Not every round, but only when I feel that there is a tile that really deserves it. I also may add my own submition in. If in any case I do this, I surely won't vote at all that round. I doubt I'll do it very often anyways, but just so you know, I'll just poke my head in these two aspects of the contest.
You CAN PM me an idea for the next round if you feel you have a good idea, but you won't be able to submit anything that round. (I already have my idea for the first round if this gets off the ground)
The voting won't be anonymous, becasue, well, it doesn't matter who votes for what, as long as YOU don't vote for yourselves. If you do, it won't count (I'll have to give an official vote count if somebody does vote for themselves. I HOPE nobody does it anyways, but just so it shouldn't happen in the future.
You can resubmit your entry in case you felt you need to change something so don't feel you're stuck with it once you've sent it in.
