During the month of April BtVSFigs will be home to a brand new competition that will will feature talents from both the Customized Figures and Fan Art sections. Each Customizer/Graphic Artist will partner up with another member, and while the customizer will make a custom fitting the April 2007 challenge theme, the Graphic artist will then make a banner featuring the custom. Once all the entries are sent in, they will be posted and voted upon via PM. The creators of the Banner/Custom Combination that is picked as the winner will each receive a prize.
Theme
The theme of this Competition will be to make characters from BtVS/Angel that were under a spell. For Example, you can make customs based off of characters from episodes such as Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered, Gingerbread, Superstar, Life Serial, OMWF, Tabula Rasa, Dead Things, Same Time, Same Place, Him, Spin the Bottle, Magic Bullet, etc...
The Calendar of Future Challenges for Customized Figures
Rules For Customizers
-Customs must be sent in during the correct time frame set for the April 2007 Challenge. You can only use a custom if it was previously posted in the Challenge thread.
-The rules are basically the same for any other monthly challenge. Once MsBigPileofDust has posted the details for the April Challenge on the 1st of the month I will update this post with details and a link to the competition thread.
-Customizers may make more than one custom to post in the regular challenge but must choose one of them to be made into a banner. The only exception to this rule is if you make two or more customs that came from the same episode and if the characters were under the same spell. For example, you may have an entry featuring Willow, Spike and Buffy customs all from Tabula Rasa on a Banner.
Rules for Graphic Artists
-Banners must be submitted on time and must have the custom in it.
- Only ONE Entry may be submitted. No more than that. If you do happen to send me more than one, I will ask you to choose only one of them to be your entry.
- Entries will have a size limit, The maximum size being 605 x 195 pixels and the minimum size being 400 x 125 pixels. If you are not sure exactly how to tell the size, they can be seen here:
*NEW*
-Because some computers block out all graphics labled with "banner," entries are not allowed to have "banner" written in their URL. Please be aware of this while uploading or sending in your entries.
Rules for the Team
-One member alone can not do both tasks. If you are making the Custom you can not also make the banner, If you are creating the banner you can not also create the custom. Basically, if you are planning to do one part you must find a partner to do the other.
