Make skin variants inspired by quark names: up, down, strange, and charm.

About

This is the Quark Jam, a skin jam based on the four quark types up, down, strange, and charm. (The others, top and bottom, can be considered with up and down for our purposes.)

How It Works

This jam requires entrants to submit four skins, all variants of a single base. Each skin should connote a different one of the quark type names (as the word, not a quark type) up, down, strange, or charm. Refer to the judging criteria for an idea of what's expected.

FAQ

(Additional questions may be asked in the guest book.)

- How do I submit four entries?
+ Since it seems the jam system only allows one entry per account in ranked jams, post all four skins and enter one of them with links to the others in the description.

- What kind of style is required?
+ Doesn't matter. You can do whichever style works for you. You can even try making each variant in a different style if it takes your fancy.

- What if I can't finish all four skins?
+ Entrants must submit all four skins, or they will be disqualified.

- What if I flagrantly disregard the guidelines?
+ I'll warn you if there's time. If you still fail to make a valid entry, you will be disqualified.

- Will there be prizes?
+ Trophies, yes. Other things, maybe.
