Time 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.

Emotions
This one requires a bit more thought on your part, everyone has emotions but can you manage to portray them on such a small canvas like a skin? Whether it be happiness, sadness, or even anger try to get in touch with your emotions while sharing them with us.

Feudal Japan & East Asian
The rich history of east asian culture extending from the 10th century to the late 18th century, characterized by regional military rule by powerful families.
(Racist submissions will earn a ban)

Above the Clouds
We've done under the sea why not above the clouds.
Make a skin of a soaring eagle, a plane or even some creature you made up all on your own, just be sure to tell us about it.

Arabic & Middle Eastern
From the ancient Assyrians, to the armies of Persia, to the oil Barons of today, the Middle East has been a powerful cultural force in the world. Show off some colorful characters from the region!
(Racist submissions will earn a ban)

Prehistoric
Do some research and make a skin based off life before the existence of written history

Elizabethan
Ruffs, frills, wigs, feathers, leggings, stockings..
The Elizabethan Era spanned the length of Queen Elizabeth I's of England's reign from 1558 to 1603. The period marked the start of England becoming a world power, as well as a leading nation in European art, literature, theological study, and philosophy. This period's dress combined a multitude of different countries' styles from the time period, and featured a wide range of color schemes and color symbolism. Time for you to skin this period of English history.

Circus Characters
The circus is filled with all sorts of strange and wonderful things from clowns to lion-tamers. Make your skin based on what sort of circus show you'd like to see and explain to us what it was.

One man's trash is another man's treasure
Create a skin of something that is of value to you but isn't to someone else and vice versa.
Be sure to describe how it is valuable to you or another being, maybe even create a story about it

Futuristic Industrial Revolution
We are in the generation of technology. We are using machines to do our tasks, transportation to move us around, and to ease our lives. However, machines have become so significant that now robots are being used and made to take over the labor of human society, such as fighting fires, constructing buildings, cooking in restaurants, etc.
Skinners following this theme will have to think of a futuristic robot or machine that has a job of a normal human. Their robot/machine will have to have something that they use in order to perform their job.

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!




This poll with run for a week and will end the 7th of this month.
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 a contest feel free to submit it here suggest-themes-for-the-pmc-skinning-contests-t302543.html

Above the clouds or emotions.

Emotions
Would love to do emotions since it adds a bit more of expression into skins... which IMO sounds sweet!

Above the Clouds
Under the sea, Underground.. hmm.. I feel like it's time for the sky!

Yes. You aren't allowed to make your contest entry before the contest is officially announced. If you do enter with that, you'll get diqualified.

(Unless you meant brainstormed how the skin would turn out because that'll be ok)

You cannot "make" any part of the skin till it's been announced, you can plan it and brainstorm but you cannot make any bit because then you will have more time than everyone else which is "cheating"
