[Over] Head Texture of the Month IX
I hope you weren't planning on doing nothing this month, because Head Texture of the Month is here and calling all artists, like you, to drop some amazing heads here and make this event fun! So, let loose and let's 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 50,000 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 + 50,000 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.
- The honourable mention each month will 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 20th 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 20th of October, the submission window will close.
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 TECHNOLOGY!
Whether it's an old rusty robot or a futuristic mecha predator, it fits this theme.
Deadline: 20th of October, 20:00 GMT+0

Mind if I pop in to say a few words?
I typically do this every few months, but it still needs to be said. I really appreciate everyone who's helped keep this up and going, even after seeing the past few months get low participation numbers. Texture art has always been the biggest interest for me in Toribash, I think it's an important vein of the community that should always be supported. It's so awesome to see it's cared about enough to go on like this.
Thank you to everyone who continues to participate, also. I appreciate all of you artists, you're an inspiration to me (someone who hasn't yet found his artistic groove) and I hope you continue to make great art, both on and off Toribash.
I really wish I could have gone on to continue as an ES on this game, but I just don't have the time anymore, as is evident by me never returning as even a regular member. I'm proud to see some of my old friends on here taking the role, though. You know who you are. Keep up the good work!
