It's time once again 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.


Ones man's trash is another man's treasure.
Something that is trash to one human may be of true value to another. Some artists use this in their own artworks. For this theme, you are to create something that may be valuable to you but not to someone else, or create something that is not valuable to you, but valuable to someone else.

Be sure to describe how it is valuable to you or another being, maybe even create a story.

Childhood Heroes
Imagine, teddy bears in a knight's armor, defending you from the monsters under your bed, or maybe your favorite action figure, coming to life and defeating the evil beings in the closet. But just remember, they're still, just toys. Your job is to create a toy, through the means of a skin, that would defend a sleeping child, from attacks by the evil things that goes bump in the night.

Roaring Twenties
A time where flappers wear short hair and silly dresses, gangsters go around in suits and tommy guns, and sweet, sweet jazz.

In The Jungle
Now that we've explored deep underwater and ventured through the clouds, let's take a trip to the jungle! Create a skin of a character native to the jungle.

Golden years of Greece
Also known as the classical period was around 500 to 300 BC
most of our modern day politics, artistic thought, such as architecture, scientific thought, literature, and philosophy derives from this period

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.

Future Evolutions
What do you think about what we'd evolve into if we were to evolve? What would they be like? Imagine that, and for fun, why not a small back-story on them and their society?

Desert Creatures
We created high flying birds and dragons, fishes and organisms from the deep, underground hideous monsters, and beings only found in the frozen turndra. Now we head over to the desert, where the incredible heat of the day, and the freezing breeze of the night, holds creatures you won't believe can survive both temparatures. Create somthing that would be living in the desert, that can survive both extremely different temparatures, this biome holds.

Ancient Egyptian
Rich in history and legends, Create a skin based on the day to day life and culture of ancient Egypt.

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 5th of February.
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 one of our contests feel free to submit it here suggest-themes-for-the-pmc-skinning-contests-t302543.html

Anyone with an account here on PMC is permitted to enter the skin contest which is usually done once a month. To enter, you will have to wait until the contest begins. But once it does, when you post a skin you'll see an option next to the "Publish Live" option, this will be an option to submit your skin to the current contest. Provided it meets all the site and contest rules, that's all you have to do.

I voted for Childhood Heroes as I think I could make an interesting skin for it, and I think there will be lots of other creative skins too.

Childhood Heroes sounds like something I can get behind. No doubt there will be a lot of repetition eventually, but that's inevitable really. I'm picking Childhood Heroes for 2 reasons. The first: I have a small idea for it and the second: I really wanna see what people make as I believe they will be extremely humorous :3

I know Childhood heroes could end up in a lot of unoriginal skins, but I have expectations for that theme to get quite interesting, hence why I vote that. As for second pick, it would probably be One man's trash, another man's treasure. Other themes I thought was a bit interesting, Desert creatures and Future evolutions.
But I just can't see them being better than Childhood heroes, so Childhood heroes it is.
