[OVER][ES] Head Texture Of The Month V

And we’re back! The ES team proudly presents the Head Texture of the Month for the fifth time this year - the event where you guys get to let loose and create awesome head textures for some cool prizes and recognition. So, ready to get to work?

We give you guys a theme to work with, and you have three weeks after launch to make a fantastic (512x512) head texture. The person who makes the head texture that best fits the judging criteria gets a 512x512 Head Texture Item as well as 30,000 tc and 4 st. Even if you don't come out on top, you have the opportunity to work with us and with each other to improve. Well, let’s get started!

- The winner will receive a 512x512 Head Texture Item + 30,000 Toricredits + 4 Shiai Tokens.
- As an optional prize, the winner will also be given the choice of creating the next month’s banner and thread art.
- Every month we gonna have a honourable mention who receive 2 Shiai Tokens and a Random Item.
- Winning entries and notable submissions will be happily advertised in the original post of the following month’s thread with the artists credited, as well as in a sticky thread in the Art forum.
- If you’re looking to establish yourself as an artist in the Toribash community, here’s your chance for publicity!


- Plagiarism is bad. It isn’t a matter of if we find out, it’s about when we find out. Don’t try your luck.
- If your submission looks like a joke, it will be completely ignored.
- A rough Sketch or WIP is required in order to prove that this is a head in progress and not a pre-made head that you are reposting.
- Do not submit/recycle old textures.
- Only 1 submission per month.
- Collaborations are fine, prize will be split in that situation.
- No Copy/Paste art allowed.


- You have until the 25th day of the month to post your entries.
- Submissions must be in 512x512 resolution or higher.
- Post your watermarked flats in this thread with spherical previews.
- To ensure the head is properly judged, please make your previews for the head clear, show all aspects of the head, and try to keep watermarks somewhat non-intrustive (while still being effective).
- You are encouraged to post frequent WIPs, just make sure to verify in your post what the final product is.


After the 25th day of the month, the submission window is closed and judging begins.
Your entries will be judged, based on these criteria:
-How well the idea fits the theme
-Uniqueness - think outside the box, it could be the difference between winning and losing.
-Execution of the idea

Once the judges have decided on a winner, a post will be made announcing the artist who won.
The post will also include CnC of other’s work to let the artists know what to improve on and what they did right.
The entries will be judged by The ES Team.


This month's theme is STEAMPUNK!
Steam powered machines and creatures, and their creators.


Deadline: 25th of May, 20:00 GMT+0

I couldn't figure out how to put a preview... I wish I had asked for help as to how sooner
Either way the skin itself doesn't look great on the head because I didnt do that thing with using a larger image then making it smaller... mainly because I didn't know that was a thing.I hope that doesn't change the way it is judged, because I worked really hard on the hair and stuff xD.

Aaaaaaaand that's a wrap, folks!

If you've already posted a WIP on the thread but haven't submit your final yet, you can PM last minute submissions to pouffywall or AssassinPro within the next 24 hours.

Otherwise, submissions are closed and voting will soon begin! Sit tight for results.

1st place - JUSMI!

[16:43] <Jack> Jusmi:
[16:43] <Jack> Overall the head is a pretty cool looking head, nice colors and shading. But the fact that the left side and the right side are the same really lowers the quality, if there were a bit more difference between the two sides it would've been great. The back side looks weird because of the mapping and there's a visible line dividing the head. The top of the head is what really bothers me, it
[16:43] <Jack> looks out of place and lacking in detail.
Jusmi wins 30k Toricredit, 4 Shiai and a 512x512 Head Texture. Congratulations!

2nd place - HEADLES!

You also did really well shading and highlighting the copper bits; you don't always see people get that down quite right. I personally had some minor issues with the head, though, like the fuzzy, pixely lines bordering the mask and eyepiece, the leather and some things on the leather don't pop or have the kind of depth I would expect them to.

[16:43] <Jack> Headles:
[16:43] <Jack> The head certainly fits the theme. Detailing and shading of the skin is the part that stands out the most. Though there should be more shadows under the straps. The texturing and shading could've been better on the straps too, also the the 3 holes that show the inside of the eye patch, coil and the part that connects to the eye patch look very out of place and lowers the quality for me.
[16:43] <Jack> The back of the head lacks detail. But everything else is very well done.
Headles wins 2 Shiai Tokens and a random item!

Additionally, both of those will be featured in the next HTOTM OP as well as a sticky thread in the art forum.
Thanks to everybody for participating!
