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.

In a world where it's steal or be stolen from, you have to choose. Will you build walls around yourself, hoping to protect all your valuables? Or will you burn those walls down, and take everything that you can fit into your pockets? It's a person-eat-person world out there, and not just metaphorically. And don't limit yourself to just takers and the takees, maybe there's a third solution. A third life that you could lead. Or maybe you'll just end up a grand-master thief.

Maybe a prince/princess theme and tell us the story of his/her kingdom, and how they got to the throne. This leaves a lot of room for creativity, and that's why I think it should be a contest.

Sorry If I sound like a complete idiot or if you guys have already done this one. I can never keep up.

1. Trends skin contest

All skins will be related to internet trends/ fashion trends/ school trends/ etc.
Examples:

The Dress
Damn Daniel
Pepe
Poot Lovato
Dab (I DONT KNOW LOL)

2. Back to School skin contest

All skins will be related to the characters inside the school, such as the Principal, Professors, Teachers, Superintendents, to Class Clowns, Emo dude, Wallflowers, etc.

3. Mental Disorders

Not really sure if this will make it but here
All skins will be related to Mental Illnesses, such as Depression Anxiety, OCD, Tourettes (Did I spell it right omg) Dyslexia, I'm probably sure there are lots of Mental Illnesses out there but it will be kinda hard for skinners to think of an idea I guess

4. 8bit Skin Contests

Self-Explanatory, same as Retro but all skins needs to be 8bit. Kind of hard amirite

5. Foods Skin Contest

Self-Explanatory as well, all skins will be related to foods

That's all I got thx lol

Wouldn't it be a laugh to have animals in human clothes? Cats in hoodies, dogs in tuxes, even elephants in sweaters (its kinda cute). The internet loves them, speaking of which, maybe its time you had a crack at it. Create a skin of an animal wearing very human clothes.



Swampland Creatures
We found beings from the north, that thrives in the frozen wastelands. Those who take the skies, and the wind that goes with it. The sea, where creatures goes on, high tide or low tide, and more recently, creatures surviving in the crazy temperatures of the desert. Now we explore a land not entirely inhabited by majestic creatures. The swamp. Make a skin of a creature that would thrive in the muddy depths of the swamplands.

Frankenstien of mobs type contest for Halloween?
Like, mix up mobs and make a skin of it? It might be too
similar to the boss battle one, I was just trying to suggest.
Also, I missed the apocalypse contest and would have loved to participate.
Maybe do an apocalypse #2?

Or, fnaf is a hugely popular thing for skins. Maybe a fnaf contest,
but you can use ones not made for thins contest specificly

Destinations

Don't deny it. You want to go to other places, don't you?

Everyday, people, such as yourself and myself, hope and wish they could see the different destinations and attractions of the world. They wish to go out of their town, out of their city, and out of their country. They want to experience the outside world which they have never seen before.

Make a skin representing the unique attractions of a specific location or place you would like to ride a plane or boat to! Incorporate a single or multiple interesting facts about the place into the skin. You may also make your own fantasy place and describe it.

Holidays Skin Contest
Every day there are a variety of holidays; some of which are known, and some of which only celebrated by a select few. But in the Holidays Skin Contest, all of these niche holidays get recognition. Make a skin of that captures the essence of a lesser-known holiday. (A good resource is checkiday.com)

Natural Influences Contest
Everywhere around us we can find inspiration. Especially in nature, there are so many amazing things- both subtle and standout-ish- that can amaze anyone and everyone. Make a skin that demonstrates nature at its best.

If you want a hard one, A Buildings Contest. I mean a skin the looks like a building.

Zoo Life is also a good idea. It has to be something that you can find in a typical zoo or farm.

Also, maybe Exotic Animals?

There's also, Horror Skin Contest.

You could also go an Emoji Skin Contest. You would bring your fav Emoji/Smilie to life.

I would like to see a contest where we make a skin based on someone or something that isn't very known but part of something we do know.

Example: Star Wars. Maybe someone knows a person or creature that isn't well known and wasn't featured in the films or other big media but they know a lot about this character.

Or for someone who wants to make their own character, they could invent one for the future. Like a new antagonist for a hero.

Make a skin of someone or something that came before, from the beginning of time to 1000 AD. In a time where warlords and kings ruled the world, creativity can run rampant.

Fantasy Forest
Elves, Imps, Trolls! Make a skin of a fantastical creature that makes its home in a magical forest.

Norse Life and Mythology
The Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish culture has a rich and deep heritage. Make a skin of their culture, from one of their deities, to a raider captain, or any of the bevy of characters from history and imagination.

Let's keep the themes coming, yours may be used in the next contest!

Ancient America
Before Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, Native American tribes were scattered across what would become the United States, and empires dominated South America. Create a skin based off the cultures of the people who lived in North, Central, or South America before the days of European explorers.
