Head texture of the month: Magic!


Sorcerers and magicians, now is the time to use your drawing wands (or mice) to make the best possible head texture!



In this event, the Event Squad (ES) give you guys a theme to work with, and you have 4 weeks to create an amazing head texture. The person who creates the head that best fits the judging criteria receives prizes. But don't worry if you don't make it out on top, as there will be several honourable mentions. Now let's get right into it!



The winner will receive the following:



100000 TC
+
Donations:

Cartier - 50000 TC

The winners of the honourable mentions prize will receive the following:



All winning entries and honourable mention winners will be mentioned in both the Opening Post of the next HTotM with the artists credited AND in a Sticky thread in the art forum. So if you're looking for a chance to establish yourself as an artist in the Toribash community, this is it!



We do still have rules that are to be followed. Keep in mind we may not judge your art if it doesn't follow ALL of these rules.

- No plagiarism, this isn't tolerated at all and is severely punishable
- If your submission looks like a joke, it will not be judged.
- Do not submit old/pre-made textures.
- A rough sketch or WIP is required to prove that it is a head in progress and not a pre-made head that you are reposting.
- Collaborations are allowed, however in this scenario prizes will be split.
- Only one submission is allowed, which also means no alts used to submit two different heads. If you're collaborating with another artist, you can only submit that head.
- Submissions must be in 512x512 or higher.
- Post watermarked flats in this thread with spherical previews. It would be much appreciated if you used Toribash Textures for 3D previews.
- If you aren't using Toribash Textures, ensure to make your previews clear, show all aspects of your head and attempt to keep watermarks somewhat non-intrusive while still being effective.
- We encourage you to post frequent WIPs, just make sure in your post that it's clear what the final product is.



Four weeks after this post, the ES will judge the entries and the process begins. It could take anywhere between 2 days to 1 week. Your entries will be judged based on the following criteria:

- How well the idea fits the theme
- Uniqueness; think outside the box, as it could be the difference between winning and losing
- The execution of your idea

Once the judges have decided on a winner, a post will be made announcing the artists who won / received honourable mentions. Good luck!

This month's theme is MAGIC

Can we get the reasons on who won
yes, please include reasoning on why this and that head won etc.

not to complain, but this voting seems very much biased lol
As you guys say in the rules it should be the head that best fits the theme. While dengue posts a dude with glowstick liquid on his head and wins.
I can't believe Monobi wasn't even mentioned, that's crazy.

agreed with tinyglove, the voters didn't follow the given rubric on how a head should be voted

Hey everyone, of course we can release the reasoning behind our picks.

Dengue: Great execution, fit the theme well and was also one of the more unique entries we've had.
Chab: Great execution and fit the theme well, but lacked in how unique the head was.
Clint: Head was quite unique compared to most other entries and execution was also good, didn't fit the theme that well but was still worth a honourable mention.

There were a lot of heads that we thought also looked great but we can only give a prize to so many people, and these guys just edged it out over their competitors.
Once again thank you all for entering and we hope to see you again for the next HTotM!
