Hey guys!
I see that lot of you use custom resources in Charas, so i was thinking in something useful and funny:
What about a "resources contest"?
This is only a proposal, up to now i only wish to know if someone should be interested, before beginning (you know, a contest needs both "concurrents" and "judges"...) ;)
So here i report some possible general rule lines: fell free to comment them out and let me know if you think it's a good idea or not! :D
PROPOSAL OF RULES FOR THE "RESOURCE CONTEST"
The resources must be:
- good positioned (no problem in sovrappositioning)
- original by you (not by 3rd persons)
- applyable to the existing charas section's base bodies
I think judges have to be at least 3 or 4, so 1 or 2 places are free.
If you'd like to be a judge:
- you cannot be a concurrent too
- you have to share at least 3 original resources made by you
Prizes (well, i am not that rich, so....)
- 1th, 2nd and 3rd place: a credit table in the home page of both charas and the forum
- form 4th to 10th place: a credit in a dedicated page, reachable from a link placed in the winners's table
-
I wanted to be a judge. I think SMB should surely be a judge.
-
Hey, no one else interested in this?
Gosh, i thought it was a cool idea........ ;)
-
I didn't posted but I approve it!
And I'm available to be one of the judges! ;)
-
I might be interested in trying, though I'm not sure how good I would be...
-
i'm working on a scouter for dbz as one resource.I need more idea's :flower: it's done...... i want to be a judge
-
the scouter
-
wow i'm on a roll :heart:
-
I'm interested. As long as you don't win a thing, I'm in. Else... I'm still in. But only if there are more than 50 competitors.
-
Alex, if you ever want to get this thing up, I suggest placing it on the news section. I think the idea is good and I hope the resource contest will be going.
-
Gosh, you're right!
I think that, more than in the news, a dadicated link should be GREAT.
Is here anyone (for example: who'd like to be a judge...) the would like to create the "resource contest banner"?
Something as a colorful anigif with a short text similar to "join the Charas Resource Contest!".
Let me know if someone is interested in creating this (it should be for the first page, so nothing too big!). If not, i'll simply put it in the news... :p
-
I can try asking my brother to do this, but if anyone else can do it, then say it.
On the other hand, I can do this myself.
-
Bloody Head
-
What do you think about this banner?
PS Don't want to be judge. Maybe competitor, but not judge. I'm not good at judging.
Unless I can't be competitor.
-
Ooooooo!
I'm affected! You used my Paul Atreides to say how can be a chara...thanx a lot! :blush: :D :smoke:
-
Wow, really cool!
I guess i can use it as top for an eventually dedicated page. ;)
I'd like something for the first page of Charas too: is possible to make a smaller version for this use?
I mean (looking at available spaces) something that can be displayed on the right side, over the affiliates or in replace of the upper-right image on top.
Thank you again, i'll wait for news!
-
I'm working on it.
Oh yeah. I've decided not to participate anymore, after what I already done. If I did, my chances would be higher for earning a place (maybe just a little, but still).
-
What i understood was that would have participated only if there will be at least 50 competitors...
Sorry, but i don't understand why you've decided not to participate anymore NOW...
"After what I already done"? What? Resources or the logo?
I don't understand where the problem is....
-
the logo looks good, but it must be "Then" and not "Than" ;)
-
Well, it doesn't sound fair to some if I participated. But if you insist, then maybe I'll join. I'ts just for fun, anyways.
Oh yeah. I have version 1 ready of the affiliation buttons.
PS What does XD mean?
-
I edited the banner
-
Ok folks, the first contest page is ready!
It is not yet linked from the home page, i prefer to "debug" it with you, before linking it.
You can find it here: http://alex.ombra.net/charas/contest.php
Please comment it freely, expecially about description and rules. I want to be sure it is simple and clear! ;)
Also, please tell me if you fell i've omitted something.
Only thing i know is missed is "where to send contest resources": i'll open a forum section for that, so i'll write and link it when the page will be linked to the homepage too.
Thank you!!!
-
I found a spelling mistake.
It's at the bottom:
If you're interested in contet's backgrounds
Must be contest's
For the rest... no bugs.
-
Solved, tnx ;)
-
The guy on the affiliate button is mine, so nobody can take this now!
-
:bend: I want to provide you with my entree :bend:
-
Should I name the guy on the affiliate banner 'Bannerguy' or 'Guy on the Affiliate button'? 'Cause I need a name for the suit.
I'm also working on other things, like a suit inspired by... me. Or hair...
-
Gary: Yep, you can give any name you want to your things ;)
Onichi: Wow, this is for partecipation? Thank you! Soon i'll "activate" the contest officially, i'll move your resource to the participant section (well, after creating it!) :D
-
Ok, finally officially opened!
I've activated the link from he home page, and created the contest resource forum.
Onichi, may you post your resource there too, is it's the one you want to partecipate with?
Thank you all!
Oh, naturally... fell free to advertsize it wherever you want! ;)
-
so what about the judges. Can i plz be a judge.
-
JUDGES
Ok, time to decide who they are, i guess...
As i said before, i'll not be one.
Fist of all i quote what i said in my first post:
If you'd like to be a judge:
- you cannot be a concurrent too
- you have to share at least 3 original resources made by you
So, only confirmed judge is SMB, right now.
Theforgotten and Jumster2002:
You only have 2 uploaded resources each, and excepting the scouter they're face recolors. Please create something more, possibly something that really shows you deeply knows how charas resourcing is. A judge has to show to everyone he knows the laws, to judge (and i think this is also correct against participants).
NO USE:
The bloody head you've submitted is to partecipate or to be a judge? PLease let me know. Anyhow in both cases, i'll wait for the
"almost white" remake of it, as discuss via email.
Onichi:
As told before, may you post your resource in the contest thread, if it's the one you want to partecipate with?
Ok, that's all right now!
I'll wait for your answers, thanks for your attention! ;)
-
I'll surely partecipate!!I've yet uploaded my first resource, but I wish to upload more!! :D
It's a very very good idea to learn more about graphics and to have fun too.
Hail Guys!!
see you :w00t:

Alright. I submitted my new knight helm.
-
Theforgotten, 2 questions:
1) new knight helm? In sharing i see 3 resources from you, but all about your new style tall body. No knight helm there. May you try to re-upload it? thanks!
2) about your new body: it should be a base for a new section, because tall stuffs aren't applyable to it. If this is what you was thinking about, then we need to discuss the new "tall-thin" section!
Right now you've posted a body, a face and a dress: to create a new section i need at least one stuff per section (so an hair and an item too) and at least 10 resources in total. If you plan to do more for it, please let me know, so i'll prepare the base for it!
This would be great, a good way to begin creating other non-rtp stuffs!!!
Lemme know!
-
Can I see the new body when it's done? I like making resources. And I still have one more resource I can send in for participation...
-
Great more work. LOL. The knight helm didn't work.
-
here's the hair
-
Look at this!!! :p :p :D
-
Marknitro, is this totally original made by you?
I'm asking because i've seen double posting from you: same reply with same attachment in two different threads.
This one is for discussion, but the other is only for contest resources.
If your is a "showcase", on which you expect comments, please delete your post from the contest thread (the other) and post your resource in the Gallery.
If instead that is your resource to parecipate, then no problem.
:smoke:
-
I know that next year I won't be participating, unless I'm first (title defender;))
-
how do i get in the contest?????????? :flower: :frag: null :vampire:
-
Just give a look at the contest page for the rules (it's linked from charas main page) and post in the contest thread the resources you want to partecipate with.
-
[SHADOW]null[/SHADOW] how do you make the charas?? >:
-
Ehm...
What about the tutorial in the doc section? ;)
-
I just can't wait till the contest is over, because when it is, the Awards will start!!!
-
Only one more night, only one more day...
Reminds me of the song "One More Night" on the Eurovision Songfestival...
Too bad Turkey won... The Netherlands deserved it more, according to the Jury (she, Esther Hart, got an award for best preformance or something)
-
Ok, time to kick this thread again.
I'm ready for the second contest, guys!
So again, proposal are welcome.
The test page is here:
http://charas-project.net/contest2.php
What i need:
To know if everything sounds good to you
The 2nd contest logo ;)
This time there are many more users, and the first contest as example. I really expect this 2nd one will be great.
So, judges too has probably to grow: i was thinking in "rules".
Something as:
- Judgement for "tech" (skillness in use of particular tecniques, right color usage, positioning, etc...)
- Judgement for "look" (simply "how beautiful the resource is")
- Judgement for "all" (all together is the real resource, no?)
If you feel you can REALLY handle one of these (being objective, i mean), propose yorself here. But remember that judges CANNOT partecipate too.
Lemme know!
-
Well, I promised I would be judge if I didn't have to defend my title, so I want to fight for the title as judge. Besides, being judge is way cooler than being participant.
-
Ow, and I have a better title for the new contest!
-
Good, another resource contest. I missed the earlier.
-
Uhu... but don't you think 175kb is "a bit" too much for a logo?
I think this will be better as a flash movies, probably.
A logo should never go over 50-55kb, maximus.
Is possible to reduce this one, maybe reducing frame numbers?
-
Where shall I post my resource to the contest?
The link on the contestpage takes me nowhere.
-
The contest is not already started.
Here we're discussing it's backgrounds, i think i'll officially open it within a week ^^
-
Ok!
-
Sorry to be back for just a moment (seems that I have more time then expected), but I have a better idea about that winner thingy. Maybe you could add something like a "previous winners" thingy. Just as in the news thingy. Or you could make it open another page and add the winners in a new MySQL database...
-
This will be great, I wasn't here for the first one, but now I'll be here for the SECOND ONE! I should get working too.
-
Hey Alex I have some resources for the contest and I know the contest is not yet open, but in the mean while can I post my resources here or you rather for me to wait.... :D
-
Better if you wait, i guess.
We will only consider resources posted in thew right, final place ;)
-
i missed the last one,lets see....RTP is old,i'll try ah......Head,yes,a sweet one,or mabay The Gun Blade,or a sweet.....okay,a haed
-
Okey dokey, fine with me. I was thinking to wait myself but I wanted to see if you agreed.
-
Ok, the contest is officially OPEN!!!!
Just follow the links in Charas home page.
So now it's up to you all.
Happy sharing and good luck to everyone!
Please read also the "judgement" part of the contest rule page, there are some funny things out there! ;)
For Gary: if you'll read this, may you tell me what you'd like to be? Judge or partecipant?
-
JUDGE!!! I WANT TO BE JUDGE!!!
I'm a good one too, I think...
That doesn't sound very confident...
-
Doesn't sound very confident?? We're the most clear community of the planet! All under the sun! ;)
Ok then, you're in!
-
Juges can't enter,and my head so far sux,what to do...
*lightbulb*
....um....uc.....
can i enter with any gfx,like foir faces?
-
Hey Alex (or anyone who can answer)....
Will there be seperate judging for resources in diffrent categories?
i mean will faceset resources be judged seperately from chracter resources?
I'm just wondering, cause it might get a little chaotic when u guys gotta judge like a billion face and character images....
-
Well, it was kinda disappointing last year on how many people actually submitted, so it won't be THAT much I hope. Actually I do hope so.
Anyways, I was bored and couldn't get to sleep, so I made this. It's a countdown thingy which you can include in your PHP scripts. The bad thing is you'll have to set it on the day after ending. I already done it for you, so no need for customizing... unless you want to get rid of that date thingy...

Separately, of course.
There will be 2 main categories: charasets and facestes.

Well, the main requirement for being a judge is that you need to have at least 3 custom sprites, and with custom I mean not ripped or recolored or something. And since I made several customs (like teh Rayman suit or the Kavu-Ruvi monster body) I can be judge. Plus I already participated on the first one, making it 3 more customs. I actually don't know how many customs...
-
then i'll be a juge i got tons of orig. sprites,made by me!and this sweet SSJ thing in the makeing,so can i Juge?
-
The need of "at least 3 orig. sprites" is because a judge has to demonstrate he knows how Charas works, deeply.
Anyhow, looking in the thanksgiving page you actually have 1 charaset and 8 complete. So you only have 1 resource, right now...
-
I'd like to be a judge if still possible, couldn't reply sooner because I was on vacation.
-
so...i need to submit more custom recores to be a juge?
-
When is this contest due?
-
Kijuki_Magazaki: the contest is NOW.
You can find rules etc. here (http://charas-project.net/contest2.php?lang=en) .
kAiRoU: yes, you should share something more. Anyhow i have to be sure you know Charas, so (with the contest already started) i think it's really not possible for you to be a judge, for this edition.
Cosmo: This would be great! But are you sure you want to be a judge? Remember that you cannot partecipate too, if so.
Please let me know!
-
well, I know that, but I don't feel like spriting right now, I'd rather be a judge this time.
-
Ok, that's it then!
The final judges are (as written on the contest page too):
From Charas: Alex, Gary Kertopermono, Cosmo and (SMB?)
From RPG School: Seph and Otaku
I'll contact all the judges when the judgin moment will arrive.

Of course SMB! I'm here!
Ehm... sorry if I didn't say nothing before... :blush:
-
Fine!
Ok, page uploaded and judges selection finally completed! ;)
-
I made some titels today....
Eh I put one up but then maybe Alex will remove it...
*wispers: He maybe does not like me*
Well well!
-
Alex, can I also give a final note about the contest?
Because I see many people who aren't reading the rules properly, or post wrong things. We need to avoid these situations, because people could get angry if theirs is disqualified.
Ofcourse, resources with a wrong background ARE allowed (they get some points less).
-
Yes, i saw wrong entries.
And i've emailed (or PMmed) they all.
Some are already deleted, other are waiting some needed answer.
Anyhow you're right. But how may i force ppls to read rules?
-
By disqualifying them.
