Acceptinig Entries until:
12:00 AM, EASTERN STANDARD TIME, DECEMBER 8, 2007
DIRECTIONS
Create your own Custom Halo 3 armor and post it in this thread to
enter in the contest. Be creative but don't go overboard.
BRIEF DESCIPTION of COMPETITION
There is essentially no prize for this competition ( except recognition )
and it is meant as a fun art-related activity for the community. Hope-
fully bungie will like your armor and who knows, maybe they will
consider your design...( but don't get your hopes up )
PLEASE INCLUDE A TITLE FOR YOUR ARMOR !!! *****
*****The title will be scored along with originality, although it won't
weigh too heavily on your grade. Armor Descriptions and backround
will also lend to SLIGHTLY higher scores
NOTE: I will be including my art in a reply beneath the finalists ( in
the finalists thread ) I WILL NOT be considered a finalist, however I whish
to do this so the community can grade my art. Please score me on a scale
of 1-10 in these categories, as I will do the same for you:
1: Origionality
2: Ascetics
3: Quality
4: Practicality
See below for more details on scoring
IDEAS:
Here are some idea for armor variants
1. NEW mjolner armor
2. NEW ODST armor
3. DIscovered Forerunner armor
4. NEW Spartan III armor
5. Specialized Armor ( Style: spec ops, engineer, etc )
FINALISTS;
I will choose between 3-7 finalists as the best user created armor
Permutations. They will be featured in a NEW THREAD, and I WILL
ASK YOU TO VOTE THE WINNER.
After several hundred votes are cast, or the vote percentage
doesn't change after awhile I will post the finalists in a new thread.
In the final round THERE WILL BE 1 WINNER & 2 RUNNER UPS
RULES:
#1 If you are desgining several pieces of armor try to keep them together
as a set. Its okay to have several sets, but try to keep all your armor in
under 3 posts
#3 Try to keep it Origional....Don't post a picture of something you saw
#4 IMPORTANT: You may post a "collage" of several images put together
in programs such a photoshop, and edited ( or not ) with special effects.
#5 PLEASE leave constructive critisim, but keep it civil. I WILL
subtract points from your score if you are Nasty about other art.
If somebody did a horrible job don't just say "this is garbage"
Tell them what needs improvement.
[b]GRADING
Each entry will be scored on several key points on a scale of 1-10
which will [u]weigh in very heavily, but is not an ultimate determinant
on choice of finalists
1: ORIGINALITY: Your own ideas count big time
2; ASCETICS: Make it pleasing to the eye
3; QUALITY: Put some effort in: It could make or break you
4: PRACTICALITY: If your helmet consists of 2 foot tall spikes; you
get a .5 / 10
( the .5 because you made me laugh )
NOTE: If hand drawings are entered, they will be graded less strict
than computer based material, since it is easier to make certain things
on the computer.
You may use pretty much any form of art you can think of.
HOW TO MAKE A LINK
When you post the link in you reply PLEASE USE PROPER HYPERLINK
FORM !!!
THIS IS HOW YOU LINK YOUR ENTRY PROPERLY
1st: type [url]
2nd: then type the webpage url. ex. www.photobucket.com/halo3
3rd: end the webpage link with [/url]
The link should end up looking like this:

any spaces in the link )
Enjoy Drawing and I hope you do well.
