Well, Art Contests have never done well around here, for no apparent reason. We have plenty of artists, but for some reason we don't like to get together to do these things.

But I do love art. So, since we seem to be getting a bit more active around here, I'm putting a poll up here. If I can get more than... 8 people interested, maybe we can run another art contest. You have one month.

EDIT: For convenience sake, I'll put further comments in the first post, so it's easier to find...

It would be interesting to see some more, I'm just concerned that there might be a lack of activity. We could always host a test one though, to see how well it does.

I wouldn't enter because I suck at art, but there's never been an Art Contest since I've joined, so yes

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

I'm not an artist so there is zero chance of me ever entering but it would be cool to have, if that counts for anything.

I do sprites and animation, and that isn't going to crop up so I'm screwed for Art Contests :p

The poll's closed, but I'd totally be up for an Art contest. Just make sure to give us a long deadline :P
