NOT have a popularity component, instead the following items will be assessed and given a score out of five for each item (based on the DevArt Critique system
help.deviantart.com/95/ ):
Vision/Idea – How well it adheres to the theme and the creativity of the idea
Originality – Looking for something new and different, not just a clone of a standard CLAMP formula. For example, an eyeballed picture of the official materials would receive a low Originality score, because it has been done before. By all means use references, but use several and be creative with them.
Technique – This is specific to the medium being used, if traditional, use of shading and colouring will be assessed, digital, will be looking at clean lines, colouring, etc. Cosplay will examine the costume making and photography skills, etc.
Important to note: presentation is part of this score, be careful to crop your picture to remove any external items (eg sketchbook spirals, dust on scans), for digital, removing guideline layers from being visible
Impact – Looking for that 'X' factor. Mind you the judges are open minded so be creative and have fun is the most important, it will show in your work. Effectively using your foreground and background will make the most impression here. Make us laugh, make us cry, anything you want
The idea is to not focus solely on execution and technique, but to give good ideas and creative interpretations a chance, as these often get over looked in popularity contests.Judges Khallandra and Grantek
.: Contest 2011 Another World Contest Results :.: Theme : Another World
