THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A CONTEST, NOT AN ACTUAL ONE; SO PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT ANY ARTWORK TO THIS THREAD!
Point:
So I am working on another boat for the boat contest, and I want to set them as a specific style of building, and color scheme for one of the kingdoms but... there really isn't one of either.
Obviously the different camps have certain wood colors that they use commonly in building, but that's really based on the type of trees surrounding the camps, so that can't be the basis for a color scheme.
So I propose another contest to run alongside the boat contest: "Flags and Colors"
It is a basic contest of artists where they submit 5 flags, each one representing one of the kingdoms (all five must be included, or else the contest part won't work as well).
xDK chooses the winners of 1st 2nd and 3rd place. 3rd and 2nd receive progressing rewards, and the first receives the highest reward alongside their flag designs becoming LORE.
Obviously this cannot be specifically useful outside of the forum rp, but it can help set color schemes for the in-game kingdom/camps to use in their designs. Moreover, the server resource pack could add banners of the kingdoms (or replace some of the paintings).
It's all just a thought to help progress the background lore of the kingdoms, as right now all they contain is simple biographies and parts in a history summary (Introduction Lore). And giving them all iconic banners would be a major step in truly creating the persona of them.
Now I suck at artwork, so I will be staying far away from this contest; but I easily imagine there are some very talented artists among the server, and I would encourage them (assuming this contest is also put in play, like the boat one) to try out.
SUGGESTED RULES:
Flags must be at least somewhat original (yeah we get it, y'all love your lion and eagle banners).
Final size should remain under 64 pixels in both width and length (to help fit it into Minecraft)
MUST HAVE at least 2 well defined colors, as to allow a overall color scheme to build with. Shouldn't have any more than 5 defined colors, though (minor colors like slightly darker or lighter versions of the main colors is fine. We just don't want the main colors to be too hard to identify).
Graphical editing rather than straight up colored-pencils-art is acceptable. But it should still follow the previous rules, primarily originality. (Graphical editing meaning: cutting in other images like clip art over a general background design, and then cleaning it up and adding more details to make it look pretty, AKA straight outta photoshop).
Thanks and best wishes to all.
(And P.S. if all else fails, maybe we could steal some Mount and Blade: Warband banners xD)
