make a contest reward - a badge of distinction on the profile

ooooh, that's unlikely... The main profile of HeroesWorld is heroes, not art. It's hard enough to get official tournament status, and a reward for drawings is very unlikely... Sorry for the off-topic, but it would be cool;)... Mephisto, well done, +2;) Major, same here:)!!!

P.S. Mephisto, change for a day and edit the 1st post with all the colors of the rainbow;)

Pardon, I forgot:)...

Mephisto, you know me!!! You can always count on help... Let's hope that such contests will be held regularly. After all, it boosts popularity:)

What a klutz I am:(... Forgot to add..

Mephisto, look at Major Whirlwind's avatar;)

Mefisto, I agree with you that the contest should only be for units. It would be more interesting that way. And in my opinion, 2 weeks is quite enough time. I usually spend 2-3 days on a complex drawing. Please let me know the exact date when the drawings need to be submitted, and I will participate. P.S. My last place is not up for grabs!

Okay, let's start the contest on June 1st; I think we'll have enough participants by then. :smile02: Let's make this the best contest, and maybe even an annual one. :smile49: The more people participate, the more nominations and beautiful drawings we'll have. :smile03: :smile20:

Sign me up too, hoping for last place) There are already a couple of heroes in the project... :)

And also, one more organizational point. I think we should upload the drawings anonymously so that the voting process is as efficient as possible. Participants submit their works to Mephisto, he numbers them, uploads them, we vote, and we get a winner :) And the nominations can be determined by a group of judges.

Sorry, Mephisto, if you were already planning to do it this way and I'm just butting in with my reminders :) I just wanted to be extra careful ;)

Good idea! So, at the end of June, all participants send me the drawings, and I will post them! I hope I can participate!
But how do we choose the jury? Okay, I'll appoint Major Whirlwind as my assistant, if he doesn't mind!
2Major Whirlwind: will you be participating?

Whirlwind, and personally, I don't think anonymity will work ;) After all, everyone has long studied the style and manner of each of the artists.
I suggest not limiting ourselves to HoMM 5; for example, I really love HoMM 4, some prefer HoMM 3, and so on.
So, here are my nomination options:
- Best unit
- Best hero
- Best castle poster
- Best fan art for a Campaign (you can submit your own)
- Best concept art (a unit that is not in a particular part of HoMM, but you want it to be, so you draw it)
- Best portrait of your hero (waist-up, please; you can also submit for fictional and developing races - Nighon, Swamp, Thicket (I'm always for it), and so on)
- Best artwork in the style of "Me and HoMM" (self-portrait - how the author sees themselves in the world of HoMM)
I suggest not limiting the participants, that is, you can use Photoshop, but in small quantities and mainly the "Editing" panel ;) (indeed, there may be situations when you need to correct the drawing to make it look better. Advice for those who don't know - try all the unfamiliar tools one by one on some file that you don't mind if something happens; you can undo everything in the History, but you will learn something new and interesting that will be useful to you ;) )

Well, if it doesn't work out, that's fine :) Anyway, some confusion will arise (to some extent), especially if there are a decent number of participants. And not everyone will sit and guess :) Although, I'm not really insisting ;) The nominations are great, and I also support the idea of allowing photoshopped images and drawings from different parts of the game. In principle, if the idea takes off and there are enough active artists, we could even organize a series of contests where the theme of the drawings is more specific. But it's too early to say, let's finish with this one first :)

2 Mephisto

No, I'm not against being an assistant :) Regarding participation, I won't promise, but I'll try to draw something :) Although, it will most likely be monochrome (I don't know how to color), I'll just post it for the sake of participating, if I'm not too embarrassed)))

To get more participants, we accept drawings from any part of the Heroes series. Photoshop cannot be used, as not all participants may know how to use it, and not everyone has it. Photoshop gives an advantage, but you can adjust the photos (only for sharpness and color). But nothing else!
Anonymity will work well, as not only artists will vote, but all forum members who want to vote! The style is not always clear in the drawings.

Friends, if anyone doesn't have Photoshop or doesn't have time to learn it, I hope our Photoshop masters will help you edit your photos ;) It's not difficult at all and won't take much time ;) As for me, I'll gladly help, send me your masterpieces via ICQ 412806894 or email [email protected] ;) I promise not to do a shoddy job ;)

Sign me up too)).
I also want to aim for last place... and I have a better chance of getting it (since I'm not a professional and haven't drawn in 200 years).

Here is a preliminary list of those who have registered for the contest:

1. ArhLich
2. Drakkoska
3. Kitty
4. absd
5. Lelya
6. Kitsune
7. Dracon Mallasa

Well, that's something :) As I expected, the main participants will be female :) Only absd will defend the statement that men can also draw beautifully :) Let's see what he can do))

Mephisto, I think you can add the list to the first post and then simply update it as new participants join.

P.S. I don't think I forgot anyone, but I apologize if I missed someone. It happens to me sometimes :)

Updated: 11:22 Moscow time.

Well, I’ll participate in this contest too, I just don’t know if I’ll be able to create something worthwhile.

Great contest! :smile12: Here's a table I made for you :) It looks better this way, I think :)

I'm not very good at drawing, but I might participate too :) I'll fight for last place :D If I have time

Girls, have you decided who will take last place? Because not all of you can take it, that's for sure! Or stop pretending ;) I know you all draw very well, at least that's what it seems to my inexperienced eye :) Either way, the competition will be fierce, but serious competition is just an incentive to draw an even better picture :)

Luchik, thank you for the table :) It will be very useful to us. And why are you so modest? Why didn't you add yourself to the table? :)
