August '15 Skin Contest Theme Poll
It's time once again to decide what our theme should be for this upcoming contest.
Before you vote be sure to read the short description of each of the categories posted below, and vote for the one that appeals to you the most, not just the one that you think will win.
Retro:
Roll back the clock, get your funk on, and make a skin based off of the idea's from the 70's to the 80's, be it the slicked hairstyle of the street drag racers, the afro's of the disco dancers, or even the pixelated faces of the original game characters.
Into The Woods:
Make anything that would take up a home in the woods, whether it be a centuries old Ent creatue, Elven warriors, time-tested Golems, precocious ferns, or just the wonderful flora and fauna that would normally inhabit such a place.
Feudal Japan & East Asian:
The rushing plains and cities of Eastern Asia and Japan take over, as you make Mongol raiders, Chinese emperors, Japanese samurai, and the like. Similar to a Medieval theme, but with the incredible flavor of the East.
Norse Mythology:
Skin a cold-hardened Viking or a monster to fight him. Warriors, beasts, serpents and god's alike clash as you make an entry based in history, or create your own mythical hero/abomination.
Music:
Well, music has been a part of our lives and it keeps on attaching itself to others. That's all I could say. Create a skin wherein somehow music is seen in it. Musical instruments, jazz players, music notes, etc.
Western:
Cowboy's, cattle wranglers, bandito's and old, rich, fat, banking men. Have you ever seen a cactus desperado? I think not. Make a skin based off the Old West and the setting sun.
Prehistoric:
Ancient dinosaurs, mammalians, and evolution in its prime. It's up to you to dig up an old Jurassic skeleton, a fish with legs, or the men who inhabited caves hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Guardians of the Lost Treasure:
An ancient tomb sealed for thousands of years, a floating island protected by centuries-old technology, or even a vault long-since abandoned by its owners. What defends it, and what is it guarding?
World Leaders & Historical Figures:
The scientists, inventors, political figures, or other greatly influential people who have made a significant impact on shaping the world we live in. Depict a real historical figure from anywhere in the world, at any time. Be sure to keep it historically accurate!
Golden years of Greece:
Also known as the classical period was around 500 to 300 BC
most of our modern day politics, artistic thought, such as architecture, scientific thought, literature, and philosophy derives from this period
This poll with run for a week and will end the 11th of August.
We encourage you to vote even if you're not planning on participating in the contest this month and to choose the theme you think will encourage the best and most creative skins
If there's a theme that we don't have listed above that you think would be great for one of our contests feel free to submit it here suggest-themes-for-the-pmc-skinning-contests-t302543.html

Music will be way more fun than any of the other categories. You can make an artist, notes, a theme or really anything. AND it's a chance for inexperienced people like me to make a good skin for once!

PikamoarI voted Into the Woods (totally gonna make James Corden)
And, in an unrelated note, was Into The Woods put on here from Maya's idea from FebruaryMayaCookieGirlInto The Woods - make anything that you would imagine dwelling in the forest, from real life things like flowers and trees to mages, nymphs, golems etc.
or my idea from last month?PikamoarFantasy Forest
Elves, Imps, Trolls! Make a skin of a fantastical creature that makes its home in a magical forest.
But, you took my suggestion for broadening Norse Mythology, so I'm happy.
WOAH OMG I JUST REALIZED THIS I FEEL SO FREAKING SPECIAL AKLJSGTKHGASJKg ;O;

I wanted Feudal Japan. I still do.
1
Into the woods ayy
1
Music!
1
As far as I know we don't always take specific ideas from that thread, so maybe we just used the ideas from both. Fairly sure that we've been planning on using that theme in a poll since before you suggested it, so it's probably based mostly off of MayaCookieGirl's idea.
