Suggest themes for the PMC skinning contests

Well I take it you've read the title so you should already have the basic idea of this thread.
I tend to have lots people coming to me with ideas about what would make a great theme for one of our contests (I'm restricting this thread to the skin contests though) and they're not quite sure where to post them, so I kept saying I'd make a thread for it and never got around to it till now.
[size=150%]Alright so there's a few things to bear in mind before posting on this thread.[/size]
The first is that we will still be deciding the theme of the contest through a poll posted on the forums, and may not even include anything that was posted here.
Second, Pitch us your idea don't just leave a post with one word. Try and explain why you think that would be a great contest.
Third, this one may be a bit harder as the thread grows and such but try your best not to repeat suggestions.
Forth, keep your ideas broad we want themes where people can come up with a whole lot of unique ideas
And fifth, this one should be the easiest if you disagree with someone idea simply state so as respectfully as you can and if someone disagrees with your idea don't take it to heart.

Alrighty...o.o
So you know how there was the arctic?
[no clue what to call it] Asian: Create an indian princess, a chinese emperor, or even a japanese Samuri. Be sure to be creative and have fun!
I hope that was clear enough...anyway, hopefully that wasn't too uncreative hehe

Thank you for opening this to the public and not just the judges.
I was thinking something unique, instead of a theme.
Something like a palette challenge, but I know how many people don't use palettes, and we wouldn't get the best out of the skinners. Or maybe a different rule each one of these contests like "Don't use white, black, or gray (Judged by the human eye, not computers.) or "Use a total of 20 exact colors, no more, no less. (More or less will be automatically removed by the site.)
But here's one actual theme:
Randomly Random
Now, we don't mean choose your own theme. Yes, make a skin as random as the stars are purple and smelly. Or dinosaurs are made of wooden cows with green hats.
What are the crazy things you've had an urge to put in a skin lately? We want to know. Perhaps a smiley face wearing a hippo skin minecraft shirt, or go simple and make a polka dotted girl in pajamas. it's 100% up to you.
EDIT: Came up with another one.
Microscopic
I am too lazy to write something for this so, make something tiny!

Well, when the new Super Smash Bros. comes out next year (I think), or any time really, I think a Smash Bros. contest would be cool. People could make a skin of any of the past (or future, such as in the case of Mega Man) fighters. Maybe you could even have a roster to fill up, and then you could have a winner for each skin, and then have a final winner from among those. Or if you're looking for something simpler, you could just do a video game character skin contest (not sure if you've done one of those already, though).
1
What about FUTURE and PAST contest FUTURE AND PAST: Make a skin based off something way back when. or something from the future that you made up
1
What about combining those two to a contest where you're required to have aspects of the past and the future(for example, a cyborg in a fedora.)
1
Yea that would be awesome!

Crossing Creatures:
People make animal skins all of the time. That's nothing special. What is spcial is
combining two or maybe more animals into one genetically altered super animal skin. Perhaps a porcugirrafe tickles your fancy. Or maybe you're more of a wolfrog person. No matter what kind of eaglemur or guppy-roach your heart desires to make, there's no limit to how you can mash living creatures together.

Maybe someone will use a Discord skin for this.
MLP FIM fans, you know who I'm talking about. xD *Sounding like an absolute child right now. :3*

I'm kinda digging this idea, although it could be very difficult
1
I think this is quite like twisted reality in the terms of kinda mixed up. A lot people did that for twisted reality like a working turtle or such. It just limits it to mixing animals together. Don't take this badly this is a great idea but maybe is a little similar
1
I didn't take part in that contest, or look at any of the skins people submitted, so I had no idea, but I didn't take what you said badly.
1
Ooooooh! Sounds fun! I'd like this one! (xD)
1
Sounds cool
1
How about Asian culture?
1
already did that one
1
Fantasy Skin Contest. You could make dragons, paladins, princesses, warriors, knights and such
1
I vote yes for this theme ^^
1
i vote yes also but i come up with the idea as him if you look page 7 =)
1
I like this one.

DOCTOR WHO
1
Please.. no.... ;_;
1
I 100% agree with that!!!!!!!!!!!! You could make the ardis, are even the Docter himself! It's p to you to make a DW related skin!
1
That theme is very limited, so it has only a very small chance of being accepted
1
YES
1
Think more general, less specific.
1
This wouldn't be a good idea because there's probably a good number of people on PMC that don't watch Doctor Who, myself included.
As for my suggestion, how about plants? You could make a scene with a garden, a tree, a leaf, or something like that. I'd probably fail myself, but it would be a fun theme to try.

How about a skin of an everyday item turned into a Minecraft-ish style block? Example: A toaster! You could make it look less realistic and more Minecraft-like.
1
That would be epic o-o But there would be a lot of duplicate skins. Like maybe 2 ovens just different colors.

lol

4 Elements contest? Air, Water, Fire, and Earth. Yey Avatar.
Make that have one of those four elements, or one with all of them. Maybe.

That would be too limited.

Great idea!
1
Maybe an Anime/Manga character contest? Make a character from an anime or manga.
1
I've never read a Manga and never watched an Anime. Unless you count Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon as animes...
1
Yeah they count ^_^
1
SWORD ART ONLINE!!
1
Obviously they're animes...
1
i make anime skins anyways. I think that would fall under the Cartoon category, also we would have our trolls doing girls in inappropriate clothing. Not to mention it has 'eh' variaitey. I know if we did do that i would get about 50 people asking me to teach them how to make a hetalia skin so they could enter that in the contest

I like what SpeedyCube is getting at too. Maybe you could do a unique contest of a certain requirement of the skin you make. You can make anything, but it has to use these five colors (for example red, black, yellow, orange, and white) but a shade of your choice of each of these colors. Idk, something like that to mix up the contests
1
How about Animal skins? and nature explorers.?
1
I agree with KirbySteaks (if that's allowed). I think it would be cool if there was a contest were you made skins that were two or more animals combined.

A steampunk/ fantasy airship contest !
Seriously, this is the only thing I can build ^^
I think this would be a great theme for a contest because of the variety of design we can find here.
When Rova, Khanaris and Lynnchyinc were all building their fleets, it was a pleasure to wander in the project section
Now airships are still good, but are always looking the same. I guess A little contest could rearrange that.A lot of the great, original airships I stumble upon are often stuck in the shadowy places of the project section with 3 diamonds and 100 views. It's sad
