Official PMCSA contest -color palette challenge-
Color palette challenge!
This is an official contest organized by the PMC skinning association
Winners announced!
The Judging has gone a little different from what I planned;
I have asked several good skinners to pick their top4, I also picked my favorites and based on that I decided this final top3. Not all skins have been judged; this would have taken ages. Dx
For them who are not in the top3, all your links have been added in the members' list. Also I hope that y'all learnt something about coloring; HUE-shifting and contrast is important when creating a skin! :3
I wil try to arrange a participation badge asap, for now, here are the winners:
#1. Minotaur by NordicKnight
#2. Empress of the Sacred Flames by +Sheena+
#3. Troll girl by Silentvoidshift
(as promised, Silentvoidshift will be invited to become an elite member in the PMCSA, as its the best skin that wasn't created by someone who already is an elite member)

Hello PMCSA members and visitors! :3
I came up with a new contest for you guys to join in, and its very different from usual contests.
You don't get a theme, no guidelines and not even rules concerning what the skin has to be of >:3, all you get is a color palette!
So why just a color palette?
Norique, a friend of mine, came up with the idea of several people making a skin with the same color palette. I immediately loved that idea :3 I would love to see how much people can do with a limited amount of colors. It will look like one epic collection of skins that look-alike-but-are-completely-different.
Also I think that accepting this challenge will be a good experience for skinners that have trouble coloring their skins or have trouble getting enough contrast into their skin.
The palette
This is the palette everyone is gonna have to work with. It includes:
- orange
- light blue
- deep blue
- two browns
- white (shaded yellow-ish)
- black (shaded blue-green-ish)
- grey (gradient)
- gold/yellow
- a little green
- skin-color
- the base balck and white
The palette is made using a HUE-shift and quite a contrast. I tried to include as much colors as possible though I may do a color palette challenge again with fewer colors >:3.
You can get the palette on a skin template here
Additional rules
- Only use the colors in the color palette; work with a color-picker (preferably work with MCskin3D)
- You can work with transperency, as long as you don't blend colors (don't blend orange and blue, but you can blend dark-orange with light-orange or dark-green with light-green)
- You can use the base black and white to darken and lighten
- You can NOT use a noise tool on your skin
- In MCskin3D you can not use the burn/dodge tool
- You don't have to use all colors, you are free to use just a few, or all of them
Once you've made your entry you will have to PM me, and I'll add your entry to the list below;

Prizes?
-The people who are in the PMCSA as a member, will have their link added on the members' list by joining in the contest.
- The maker of the best skin -excluding skins made by elite members- will be invited to become an elite member in the association.

Trophies
The judging will be done by 3 experienced skinners -including me- and due voting we'll decide which skins are the best :3
There will be judged on most creative use of the palette and best concept, but also on the shading technique -so no messy shading please :3-

The "PMC skinning association" is quite possibly the most useless thing to come to pmc..also, I would love to point out is just there to collect experience.
1
don't get any exp for forum posts
and besides, would it be wrong to gain experience points for organizing fun things / help within the PMC community? I put lots of my spare time into it y'know.... could also stop, but I dont think people would like that too much
P.S.
^ that there is exactly the reason why I set this thing up

You could be more specific because then you could say that any society is useless. It's more for the improvement of eachother and things like this contest to get a better sense of community. I don't see dinowcookie as being the type of person to do this for exp. you can have your own thoughts but there is no need for you to post that here.

Waiting time. D:

How long yet?

You don't need to be a member of the PMCSA to compete in the event. To join the PMCSA, PM Dinowcookie, asking to join.

I have a skin I'd like to enter in the contest, but I just noticed that you have to be a member of the PMCSA which I am not currently. How does one join?
This is my currently released work.
And this is the skin I'd like to enter in the contest:
Pinocchio!
