    Don't do electricity, there's nothing that looks remotely "electric" in reach except for the plasma pistol

    oh yeah forgot about armor lock, but please orange, don't do themes like "anger" or "ying and yang" or anything like that, they don't really apply to screenshots, and they basiccally turn into anything goes

    I'm pretty excited this contest is back. Hopefully there will be enough participation to keep it going. I will try to post when I can. Maybe I can learn something.

    to expand on the funny theme-
    funny death pose pics

    what i mean is when your dead body goes flying in whatever direction,
    but you somehow end up looking like you're sitting in a chair or something

    bad example but i think you get what i mean.

    I've got a good idea for a theme. We bring back the corpse alphabet.

    Edited by merge:


    Another theme is "______--doing it wrong"

    So does inclement weather and exploding plasma grenades. At least they sort of do.. anyway, it's not the contest creator to come up with ways to utilize the theme, no is it?

    Y'all could theme it around specific objects, i.e. Soccer Balls or Landmines. Alternatively, themes could center around genres of screenshots, like "effects" versus "humor".

    A lot of artwork's been done in Forge, from signatures to drawings to statues. Weeks could perhaps be spent using such categories of art as themes.
