Description

Check out the contest results here!!: mikumikupositivity.deviantart.…

so it's probably about time I did something with this group since I haven't done anything in a while and also most groups have had a contest @ one point and we're like the only ones who haven't, so

This contest is open to members of MikuMikuPositivity (mikumikupositivity.deviantart.…) only! If you want to enter the contest but aren't part of the group, just join by pressing the button on the page.

OKAY so

The contest is for picture entries only. It's a picture contest. There will be 2 different categories, "MME only" and "MMD and Photoshop/SAI/any external editing". This is to ensure all entries are fair because MME and editing programs have very different capabilities and so produce very different results. This also allows people who can't use Photoshop or can't use MME to have equal chances to win as someone who may be able to use both.

Edit: If your entry contains both MME and Photoshop editing (since a couple people have asked this) it'll depend on how much Photoshop you use and if your image looks very obviously photoshopped. If you plan to make a mix of both, upload your picture and I'll tell you the category it would fit best in.

this contest is not necessarily about skill (or about who can slap the most lens flares on a picture of TDA miku floating in space lolol) You DON'T have to be an amazing top artist to win. It's moreso about concept and how the picture relates to the theme you've chosen.

The prizes are:

(keep in mind there will be TWO winners of first place, TWO winners of second etc. As there will be one from each category. There is no overall winner.)

1st: A small pack of model edits, 1 picture request and 1 model request, 50 dA points. Your work will also be featured on MMP's front page as well as a smol positive critique written by one of us mods for 1 full month.
2nd: A small pack of model edits, 1 model OR picture request (you choose one of them), 25 points. Your work will also be featured on MMP's front page as well as a smol positive critique for 2 weeks.
3rd: A small pack of model edits, 1 picture request, 15 points. Your work will be featured on MMP's front page as well as a smol positive critique for 1 week only.
Runners up (5 people): win the model edit pack only. You'll also be featured on the front page for a few days but without a critique.
 
sta.sh/0ibg4tz8ypo <--- the models you'll be winning, btw (theyre not that great but...rin is cute)


-the themes for the pictures are as follows:


there are two. You may only pick one of the following and make a picture based on them.
(I left them super broad so...hopefully they're actually ok to work with)

I'll leave some suggested ideas if you're really stuck....but please don't copy the suggestions outright, try to put your own take on them at least if you want to be in with a chance of winning anything?? Pictures will be marked on originality as well as concept and quality. 


THEME 1: HAPPINESS
As the name suggests. It's a positivity group after all right? Makes sense. All you have to do is base your picture on something that makes you happy. A friend? Your favourite food? A band you like? dogs? cats? it can be literally anything. Anything that makes you happy. Or it could be a happy picture in general, with some characters being happy at an event. Or a moment in your life where you were super happy that you want to recreate? Using a quote relating to happiness or some song lyrics is completely acceptable too if you find a song that inspires you. It's entirely up to you.

Suggested ideas:
First date, favourite food, best friend(s), hugging/kissing (but like...keep it non mature content...you feel...), dancing/singing, concerts, bands, online friendship(s), a happy memory, etc

THEME 2: HOME
Yeah they both start with H lol. So this theme is basically about home. Remember tho, it does not have to be about literal home. Like...you can make a render with a character in their literal house, that's totally fine. But think outside the box. What's "home" to you? some people feel at home doing an activity they like. Some people feel at home with their friends and family. Or at home with music. Or if you're idk into sport or something, you'll feel at home playing it. Or something edgy like that. It can also be something like a character coming home after being away for some time and like a happy reunion. Or a young couple (lenmiku i bet) moving into their first home together (lmao). "Home" can be anything you want it to be, really. Use it to your advantage. Using a quote relating to home or some song lyrics is completely acceptable too if you find a song that inspires you.

Suggested ideas: Playing a musical instrument, moving into a house, doing a preferred activity, drawing/art, coming home from a holiday, cuddling by a fire, childhood home, idk what else anything you really want bc you can pretty much take anything and fit it to this theme lmao

As you can see the themes are pretty broad and vague...so..yeah
There should be opportunity for many many completely different pictures that work into the themes
be original please

Rules:
-ONE entry per person please
-NO gore, or nudity, or any r-18 content in your entries please...like..don't
-Any entry made using an illegal model will be  automatically disqualified. Like...we're not abt that life, , You can use any model you want, as long as it's not an illegal edit.
-Be polite to other entrants (aka don't call other people's entries bad??)
-when you submit an entry, tag me in it (Pocky-Poison) and tag it in the #MMPcontest tag. or else link it to me via note or just comment a link to it below. (dA tends to not show me sometimes when I'm tagged in something ngl..)
-Even if you don't think you're an amazing artist, enter! As I said earlier the contest will not be judged entirely on quality. Moreso on concept. (So that means a really experienced and good MMDer could lose to a beginner if the experienced MMDer is unoriginal, despite the experienced MMDer obviously having a higher skill level)
-you can use any character you want, not just vocaloids and not just TDA models



CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!!!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED!!! 40+ entries....oh my
