Possible upcoming Contests planning thread

[xDarkMaster]

You could (as a wallpaper or sig artist) use the skills you've developed to make a good shirt, but you could over do it and make something lame in the public's eye.

I'm sure "over doing" something wouldn't be a that big of a problem. As as for something being lame in the public's eye, everyone has different tastes, this really isn't any different from wallpaper making. Someone could praise it and another could completely hate it, it's the same with all art.

You are supposed to use MSPaint or your own art to make a T-Shirt that has a phrase or quote or something to make it funny or fun.

The entire point was to make something everyone could do, I thought. People here that can draw a decent pic by hand or in MS Paint are far fewer than people who have a moderate amount of skill in PS. And who says a wallpaper can't have a funny quote?

Not just making elaborate ripoffs of someone elses renders or images.

1 - Wallpaper's can use original art too.
2 - Once again, I bet 5 at most people here can make something decent is Paint.
3 - Making a good wallpaper doesn't consist of just ripping someone else's render and making it prettier.

I'm not even saying it's a bad idea, just that it isn't that different. On a side note, a wallpaper contest could actually be useful to some people, give them a new wallpaper. Who is going to actually get the design printed onto a t-shirt and wear it (I hope the answer is no one)?

LOL! I don't think anybody would actually do it. I agree that in the end it isn't much of a difference than a WP contest, it's just that it IS a little different. Hell, there is a 'Show off your new sig/wallpaper' thread. If the T-shirt isn't different enough, then some one needs to come up with something that is...bottom line! IMO a WP contest is a rehash of previous contest; T-shirt maybe close to in your opinion but w/e...back to square one?
