To celebrate 150 subscribers, I'll be hosting a themed contest!
This contest is meant to harken back to one of my old contests from 2 years ago,
Heart on Your Sleeve

Scroll through the spoilers for all the information!

The deadline will be 08.21.2022!
To submit your skin, tag it with it "words22" and link it in the comments!

NOTE: To those struggling, as long as you can explain the design elements of your submission and how they
connect to your interpretation of the prompt, it's all good! Don't worry about the more literal side of the definition.


ㅤWhat is it?  
This is a contest in which all participants are randomly assigned a word to make a skin based on.
Here's an example below:



For this skin, I used the word "keubiko" which is a state of exhaustion inspired by acts of senseless violence.

ᵕ̈ ೫˚∗

ㅤHow Do I Enter?  
Leave a comment down below and I'll assign you a random word from a list, along with its definition.
All words will be related to feelings in someway, both emotional and physical.

ᵕ̈ ೫˚∗

ㅤRules
1. Basic site rules and etiquette
2. No premade skins, all skins must be made for this contest.
3. No HD skins. This is to ensure that all participants are on an equal playing field.
4. No reposting, editing, stealing, etc.
5. Up to 3 skins per participant are allowed. Those who choose to submit
more than one will have their scores derived by taking the average between their total entres.
6. You must use the word you are given, so no trading.
7. Be kind to all the participants.

Failure to follow the rules will result in disqualification.

ᵕ̈ ೫˚∗

ㅤJudging Criteria
The judge will be:
ruietto (me)!

Entries will be judged based on:
creativity
technique
and how well the skin follows the prompt

ᵕ̈ ೫˚∗

ㅤPrizes
All contestants will receive a participation trophy
and be featured in the results post.

4th & 5th:
Pixel art trophy
Featured on my profile for 1 week together

1st, 2nd, 3rd:
Pixel art trophy
Featured on profile for 1 week separately
Can choose prize
(request, unshaded ob, follows/likes on Skindex)

The winners will each get their pixel art trophy in their
profile guestbook or PMs.

ᵕ̈ ೫˚∗

Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions!

think of something like a hyperfixation that is so consuming it's detrimental to one's help
for example, some people might stay up for days on end with barely any breaks to pursue an idea or project

Another update with something that might be helpful:
Use Google/your search engine to your advantage!! For example, some words like "schwellenangst" have a bit more cultural context behind them since they're not in English and cannot be directly translated!
