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.

Assassin's World
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.

Ex : Harry-Potter ,WoW, Magic The Gathering, Kid's Wizards, Witches ect.

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.

I've got one, Youtuber Remakes. such as my skin green short sleeved and shoed bajancanadian with ssundee's sunglasses
1
Maybe Medieval? I've done 2-3 Medieval rps on servers, yet can never find a good skin. People could make things like: Knights, Kings, Queens, Commoners, Dragons, Mages, Anything like that and such.
Sorry If I sound like a complete idiot or if you guys have already done this one. I can never keep up.

Furry Faces in Suited Suits
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.

Bond. James Bond. This would be an awesome contest idea since the new Bond movie, Spectre, just came out. You would have a choice of making any James Bond or co-star from any movie. This is a very popular series that everyone knows so it would be amazing to see it in minecraft.

Or, fnaf is a hugely popular thing for skins. Maybe a fnaf contest,

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.

OK, so you know how people make skin that have only 4 colours or something? How about you make a contest that is for making 3-colour only creations? I think this is a pretty good idea, some people are making one every once in a while, and I think it'll be great to see what people can come up with. Whaddya think?

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.

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.

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.

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.
