Hi everyone!
I've been thinking about this for some time, and have decided it's finally time to run my own Fakemon contest! The concept, which has been milling about in my mind for a while, is simple. Redesign.
Just like our contest mascot, Machop, the goal is to submit one redesign of a design you think you could really improve on, chosen from any of the Pokemon in the national Pokedex. It's up to you which one! You can redesign a single Pokemon, or an entire line. Contest entries will be judged by me and my family members. We'll be evaluating based on design quality, inspiration level, artistic quality, and overall coolness factor!
Now to the good parts, the prizes! It took me a while to figure out what I was going to offer. I know I can offer some drawings, but I don't have time for much of that these days. However, I do have a good number of competitive Pokemon to offer, now that I've been playing more heavily!
1st Prize
1 quality color drawing of your redesign in a new pose + an entire Breeding pack of Pokemon! This includes a 6IV Ditto with Adamant Nature, carrying a Destiny Knot, a Talonflame with Flame Body, a Synchronize Ralts with Modest Nature, and a random competitive Lv1 Pokemon carrying an Everstone! You will also receive your choice of two of the following: Salamence, Sylveon, Charizard, or Rotom-Wash!
2nd Prize
1 quality color drawing of your redesign in a new pose + your choice of one of the following: Salamence, Sylveon, Charizard, or Rotom-Wash!
3rd Prize
1 quality color drawing of your redesign in a new pose + your choice of the following: Toxicroak, Swampert, or Whimsicott.
So get those submissions together. They'll be due by August 31st, 2015! Pass the word around AND....
Good luck to everyone!
***** UPDATE *****
We've got several entries so far, but I know there are some more of you out there. We're down to 5 days remaining in the contest, so time to crank! Good luck!
