I'm aware that the shot itself isn't amazing, but I thought it was quite a nice idea though

Yep, global warming. We're totally screwed.

Lucas meant to enter, but I managed to mess it up again, so sorry about that!
I promise to do it properly next week (hopefully). Unless Amaster or Pineconn suddenly re-appear - they seem to be hiding recently.

A desert and dungeon shot were sure the last things I expected. :O

gray0x - I killed your family.
tox_von - All the objects seem to be in straight groups. And how is that root thing growing on top of the ice? And the fact that some areas of the water are frozen and others aren't just makes no sense.
Joe - Not bad. Nothing much to say about it.
Linkus - Have my babies.

Well that's weird, where's the other shot. I remember somebody (don't remember who) sent me a shot, and I forwarded it to the SotW account. Oh well.

I'm voting for Joe this time. I like the idea of it being a dungeon.

Oh you know what, I've accidentaly overlooked that one.

It's cause it was a forwarded message in the sotw inbox, rather than saying sotw24 in the title.

Sorry about that lucas.

Not in hiding, just had a sudden bout of Homework strike me down for a few weeks. It's almost over though.

Voted for Joe. Nice looking shot.

If anybody cares, here's the base for next week's shot. You might recognize it:

Good ole Spectacle Rock. I'm really interested to see how this one turns out. How do you see this screen? A volcano? An icy peak? A dark mountain? A beatiful mountain peak? This one should have lot's of variety in it.

If Pineconn shows up he can edit Lucas' name into the poll(I think)
If not, votes for Lucas should just be posted, and we'll keep track.

Actually, I think only Joe can edit them in. I think there should be abutton called "thread options" that only the creator of the thread can use.

Linkus. I really love that palette, and those castle tiles. Are they custom, or edits of the DoR "Wind Palace" tiles? Grey0x is the only shot that didn't deviate too much. Tox_von's doesn't make a whole lot of sense (this doesn't really matter, I just couldn't think of a better comment. Well, I guess the diagonal sheet of ice does look a bit odd), and the dungeon shot looks unnatural to me :/

I voted for Linkus. I didn't enter because I like a completely neutral shot to work from. This isn't because of my ability to design, but I rather take my own direction without people expecting a certain theme :f

It's not possible to add an option to a poll that's already been posted.
It might be if you're a moderator, I'm not sure.

I think Pineconn said he couldn't either though.

Hm... well, I know that I can't. The thread creator is able to create a poll within the thread after posting it, but I don't think you can edit it afterward. :shrug:

For the record, I do vote for Lucas92. 😛

Oh no, I forgot to make mine! I'll have to make it at lunch and hope it gets sent in before SotW starts.

I don't have one; besides, I think Spectacle Rock would look better on two screens - the size and perspective would be more immersive and realistic anyways.

I think SotW is generally deteriorating. It seems unfair for one person to decide which shot everyone will make (nothing personal, russ, it just seems a bit.. unfair). I think SotW was actually more popular before. People seem less inclined to make a shot at random, and it just seems more sensible to submit a screen from your own work.

-.-'

Oh well.

Okay, no watch as I attempt to make a screen in 10 minutes. I'll be submitting crap to this SotW.
Edit: Finished it. Now I'll submit it. It really didn't turn out very well though. It's horrible.
Edit2: Dang, my computer doesn't want to uplaod it. Stupid thing. This may take a few minutes.
Edit3: Okay, this is bad. I can't upload it!

No. I think you're the only entry, so until my computer shapes up and lets me upload my (horrible) submission, we can't start.

No, someone (in this case me, seeing as Amaster and Pineconn appear to be busy recently) also has other things to do with his life than ZC, contrary to popular belief.
I've been out all day at a university interview/open day.

However I can now and check the SotW account and see if we have enough entries.

EDIT:
Although yes, currently we have only one entry.
