Posts from Round 3: "Faction Colors"

Oh... this is already the third round. Are we all here? Did everyone make it?))) I hope I haven't exhausted you, because we have many more adventures ahead!:) Well, let's get down to business. For this contest, you will need:
1. A camera.
2. Lipsticks.
3. Mascara and eyeliners.
4. Eyeshadow.
5. Blush.
6. Theatrical makeup;)
7. Rhinestones and various face decorations.
8. Temporary tattoos.
Of course, items 2-8 don't have to be followed strictly, but item 1 is a must. Here's the task: you need to transform your face into the face of a new hero of your race (i.e., how you imagine yourself). For this, take the above items, apply makeup, stick on rhinestones, and so on, take a picture with your camera, and send it to my long-forgotten inbox (Luchafurel@rambler.ru). And here's another thing: I only need your made-up faces; you don't need to bother with anything else! Just please don't draw a star on your forehead with a marker!;) Take pictures from the waist up (yes, you can pose – put your hands near your face or something;)), if necessary, I'll just crop the picture. Send your masterpieces by April 25th inclusive!!!

And again, here are the rules, just in case you forgot:
1. Follow the forum rules!
2. Express your opinion modestly, without arguing, swearing, or insults.
3. Openly campaigning is prohibited.
4. No profanity, please!

That's it, the post will be updated with the most frequently asked questions in a bright color (if there are any). Good luck!!!

Attention! Updates!

1. Gouache and watercolor paints are added to the makeup supplies (for the adventurous)!
2. Photoshop is strictly prohibited!!! If you need to do something not very important, I think I can help (e.g., cover up a mole on your nose).
3. The contest will NOT be anonymous!
4. The possibility of using attributes that are important for emphasizing the race is added! For example, vampire teeth.
5. The race must match your current one! The Factions are already fixed.

Oh, Lelya-Lelya... Each task is more complex and intricate than the last ;)

I already want to see THIS. (Poor Raper, they’ll probably rope him into photoshopping again.)

The task isn't easy ;)
That makes it even more interesting!! :)

We're waiting, waiting, waiting!!!

Please, don't draw a star on your forehead with a marker!

Actually, that's a good idea :rolleyes:
By the way, a question: If I create body art with gouache, or with pearlescent gel pens, or even with a marker :D, will it be considered outside the scope of the contest? (Don't worry about my appearance - I'll wash it off, I've tried it ;) )

I can't even imagine what will happen.

Lel, I won’t participate.

This contest might just become my favorite!)))

It's not a trivial question: Photoshop, I hope, is a no-go? (I think it's obvious why....)

The HW mission turns into a contest – “let’s see who’s better at Photoshop!” =DD of course, if it’s even allowed… I can create a masterpiece with anyone, even without a camera))=DDD

Lel, I have a question – what if the voters recognize the artist and vote not for the artwork, but for the participant? You yourself said that this shouldn't happen.

What if, it's a good idea :rolleyes:
By the way, a question: If I do body art with gouache, or with pearlescent gel pens, or even with markers :D, will it be against the rules of the contest? (Don't worry about my appearance - I can wash it off, I've tried ;) )

Kosh! Put your buns away! If you paint yourself with markers, you won't be able to erase it later, and you could also get a pen in your eye (knock on wood, knock on wood, over your left shoulder), which is not desirable!))) But I'll probably allow face art with gouache or watercolor, but not body art.

Lel, I'm not participating.

Think about it before making a final decision. You create the contest with your own work and for your own enjoyment; it's a release of creative energy... Maybe you'll try it after all?:)

The question is not entirely frivolous: Photoshop, I hope, is a taboo? (I think it's not worth commenting on why....)

Yes, Photoshop is strictly forbidden, thank you for reminding me (I'm blowing you a kiss)!:) If you need something done that isn't very important, I also know how to use Photoshop - don't hesitate, I can always cover up a mole on your nose!;)

P.S. Yura... you know, I have a keen eye, I'll see a photoshopped work anywhere...;

Kitty, most of our participants are known to half the forum, so making the contest anonymous is pointless))) I hope for the honesty of the voters!!!:)

1. Gouache and watercolor paints are added to the coloring materials (for extreme makeovers!)

That's more like it... *I'm going to get some gouache and carefully cover my face with a layer of grassy green, looking in the mirror... darn, I'll have to dye my hair with watercolor to match... and while the gouache is still wet, I'll stick some leaves on it... Oh... my parents saw me...* :smile04:

P.S. Yura... you know, I have a keen eye; I can spot photoshopped work anywhere... you know...

ahem... you're doubting my skills with that phrase)),. It takes a mega-master to really tell the difference. You know that in Photoshop, realism can sometimes be astonishing... ;) I'll help only if you need me to "always be able to cover up a mole on your nose," and nothing more... );) although... DDD

I only need your painted faces; you don't need to bother with anything else.

How so? I think that's wrong! We need more than just faces. I'm not insisting on outrageously explicit creations (or maybe someone else will be bolder than me and insist?).
The contest is becoming interesting, losing its amateurish feel. This stage is great; I think it's time for us to participate in the voting much more actively. It will probably benefit everyone – the participants, the organizer (my personal respect to her), and us!
For my part, I will personally notify everyone from my contact list this weekend and urge (gently, but with emphasis) everyone to participate in the voting. Because a warrior-knight should not only raise the horses' tempo for a campaign but also, albeit clumsily, express admiration for the beauty of the mind (and/or body).
P.S. By "We," I mean those who mainly leave their reports in the "Heroes 3 - Online" thread – our battle comrades, tournament warriors, and masters and novices, like me. Also, we are all "damned dogs" in our spare time. :
Personally, and on behalf of all of us (I'll take that liberty), I ask the participants not to change themselves beyond recognition in their unrestrained desire to exactly match some image they've seen (we can look at it whenever we want). In my opinion, the beauty will be in using the chosen race to better showcase your bright and unique features. We are choosing you, not a racial stereotype.
Finally, I personally wanted to ask Slonysh to continue participating in the contest. Because:
- never give up. :
- shifting the contest to a festival format, a carnival if you will, without excessive emphasis on the places, would be wise.

Started reading the post and suddenly wanted to lower the difficulty. After reading it, I wanted to increase it.
What a dilemma. I need to think about it.
