Hi guys, and welcome to the first Fakemon competition! Once every month, we will be holding a tournament where people design a Pokemon based on certain restrictions. The winners entry will be added to a collective Fakedex. The aim here to eventually create an entirely new set of a 100-something Pokemon.
Please note that absolutely anyone can join this. You don't have to sign up or anything. Just browsing our forums and want to participate? Then all you have to do is make an account and post your Fakemon. : )
Requirements for your entry:
1) You must draw every single Pokemon asked for in the evolution line
2) These drawings must be accompanied by the name and Pokedex entry for your Fakemon
3) Try and get the highest quality picture you can! Stuff of low quality might be rejected in the voting process.
4) Your entry must abide by the criteria given for each tournament, which will be given at the end of this post.
Any kind of artistic medium is allowed here, so it could be pencil drawings, computer art, paint, charcoal... you get the idea.
You may also add little bits and pieces to your submission to better explain your Pokemon. Concept art can be posted to show how your Pokemon behaves in the wild (these do not have to be polished pieces of art, they can just be rough sketches). You may also type up additional information about your Pokemon which won't fit into your Pokedex entry. Although neither of these are mandatory requirements, I suggest you think about adding them as it could give your submission an edge over the competition.
Other Rules
1) If you want to use any of the entries for your own projects (like a fan game or something), then you must ask the artist for permission.
2) Do not steal art from others and claim it as your own. So help me God, if I catch anyone doing this, I'll ban you from this competition and possibly the entire forum.
3) Standard forum rules apply as usual. That includes the rules we have that are exclusive to fan creations.
So in other words, don't be a jerk and you should be fine.
Voting
So, how is the winner determined? This will be based on a public vote, where the entry with the most votes is crowned as the winner. The voting period will start in roughly three weeks time, when the submission period is over. I will go into further detail about the voting process when the time comes.
Competing
Ok, now that all the rules and stuff are out of the way, let me finally explain what this months Fakemon will be based on!
I want you to design a grass type starter line. The typings will go as Grass -> Grass/Dark -> Grass/Dark. This Pokemon must have a bulky/defensive appearance.
You may use any kind of concept you can think of. It could be based on a lizard, a tree, a flower... the list is only limited by your imagination.
The submission period for your entries begins now, and ends on the 19th of July. Good luck to all participants!
