Official February Skin Contest Discussion Thread
Welcome to the Contest Discussion Thread on the Video Game Characters Skin Contest!
Mythological creatures earn their title through hundreds and thousands of years of myth and folklore. Arguably the most popular come from Greek mythology, however all cultures have mythological creatures. Spiderman is not a mythological creature, Arachne is.
A few examples of mythological creatures:
Cyclops
Medusa
Sphinx
Pegasus
Mermaid
Hydra
Chimaera
Here is a decent list. Do your own research and find your favorite. Part of the fun of this contest is learning about these amazing creatures.
Here you can discuss about your skins, the contest and any recommendations you feel need to be added!
As always, don't forget to read up on the rules and details of the contest! Prizes are involved too!
It helps the judges if you put a name of the Mythological Creature you created and maybe a reference picture.
If you need help making skins, try out this new program, MCSkin3D!
Good Luck!!

I got finalist!
Looks like my Skin was Disqualified Because i Didn't even get a Participant Medal, Yet i Checked the Rules and it Followed Them.
jgsampsoHappybandaid I was impressed by most all of the top 100, more than any other contest I think.
Not my skin xD I fail...
Nah, just means that you'll be more determined in the next one ^_^

Congratulations to the winners...seriously, I was impressed by most all of the top 100, more than any other contest I think. The top three weren't the ones I was expecting, but ^_^ that's how it goes. We'll be fine-tuning the judging team for next contest.
A big thanks to all the judges (yes, even the ones who finally got off their butts to finish judging) as well. XD
I am about to put up the next poll which will run for 5 days so...STAY TUNED!

I think on the next competition I will actually submit a skin (don't look at my previous skins, they suck!)
*has a look* Oh my God! It's grotesque! Oh, and there's something in a jar.
Everyone has to start from somewhere. You just have to find your niche ^_^
Yes, that was a quote from Hoban 'Wash' Washburne from Firefly.

jgsampso, don't be upset, after all, I didn't even make the leaderboard *tactical facepalm*
I guess... c:
w00t!
I got 95th! Hahaha...
*Sigh* I fail... :c
*Sigh* I fail... :c
I don't think you should be upset about that. You got 95th out of 1,336 entries, after all..
OMG, the judges take AAAGES! I want to see who won.
http://www.planetminecraft.com/contests ... aderboard/ -- Choosler won
I officially do not understand the judges way of judging..
Yeah, sorta gave up after December's one. They have their own criteria, whatever it is. But I got a feeling the last 5 judges rushed through theirs
Congrats to everyone. And now onto he next challenge!
Note: I saw 1337 entries! Although one got removed so it's 1336...

Congrats to choosler scarletbox and quickysky
And to everyone else who entered as well.

Congratulations Choosler! Really, there were so many great skins, this definitely brought out the creativity in a lot of skinners!
The judges are done judging. Now to await the announcement.
That last judge better hurry up! Not like I am going to skin that last judge with my teeth while they're still alive or anything, but they better finish rating that last skin very soon! :] They won't like me when I'm an Angrybandaid!
You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
Also...
I believe (that that judge will probably be skinned alive)!

The reason judge 1 hasn't finish yet is you guys don't believe enough.
You need to believe in the you that believes in judge 1 otherwise he won't
find the strength to finish.
so...
DO YOU BELIEVE!

Come on Judge #1! You can do it!
*100 years later....everyone has beards staring at judge progress.
Then someone accidently clicks the back button then goes forward its complete.*
"We've been waiting for 100 years but we could've done that like the same amount of years ago?"
*Old Man does face desk.*

*awaits made up super heroes coming in second again on the next poll*
As am I, hopefully it wins this time around. I've been wanting it since January.
I would definitely love it if it won. Unfortunately...
Oh well, I can still vote for it.
Oh, and dang you Judge #1! Rate that last person!

Hooray for Happybandaid! :3
Judge #1 99%
Oh, crap. *Shakes fist angrily*
They're finally done! :3
Judge 7, 11, and 14. (I think the numbers are correct.) Hurry yourselves. 0 percent isn't an accomplishment.
i have done my skin here it is http://www.planetminecraft.com/skin/cyl ... -contests/
I'm sorry to tell you but the contest has been closed for a while now
We're doing something about this guys, don't worry. I think we're really gonna condense our judge team to only the most active, artistic, and helpful. In the beginning we were grasping for talented judges but we've gotten plenty since then and a few of the older ones have lost interest. I
don't think there will be any problems with a wait like this in future contests, but for now I apologize to you guys on behalf of the judge team and assure you that it will be taken care of soon.

It's alright. I assume you guys are still ironing out the kinks in these monthly contests anyways.
It's true :] and there will always be room to improve. If you guys have any suggestions, suggest away!
As soon as I 1. hear from Cyprezz or 2. The winners of this contest are announced or 3. both then I shall put up the poll to vote for the theme of the next contest. It's all ready to go.

Thank goodness, the contest I don't enter lasts for over a month :/. I was improving to whip up a awesome skin for March. Hopefully the new theme is something I'm interested in, this time around >:D.
Oh kv! We might be at a match for the next contest! I'm getting better at a steady pace at making skins!
*Gasp!* This means you guys will be recruiting more judges! *Puts on extra personality and artisticness, activity, and helpfulness*
Let's cross our fingers! xD

I think last month there were only a few, and they got trimmed off when they took too long. This is probably the most i've seen that haven't finished. And they haven't been booted yet.
the_soupIBloodstormIThere are 5-6 judges that need not be allowed to judge in these contests anymore. I'm sure they are the same ones that held up last months contest.
Oh, does this happen every month?
Almost every month...It's pretty annoying, and this is the most time we've waited.
