Spiral Knights Olympics Fashion Submissions Thread! Post here your entries for the fashion category of the Olympics
Sun, 07/29/2012 - 13:12
Hello and welcome to the fashion department in the Spiral Knights Olympics!
Yours hosts will be Tersakoff (that's me), Raphael-Sabrewing and Aquillion, fancy gentlemen with a vast fashion experience.
"Oh another mess of a fashion contest where we won't even be able to move around from lag or we'd have to leave our guilds that I'll probably miss because I live in an obscure timezone..."
Actually, no! This time, the fashion contest won't be actually held in a Haven. This time, everything is done right here on the forums! Trough the use of pictures.
Here's the rules and how it works:
-Once you have been selected by your Guild Master to participate, you have to take a picture or more of your knight and submit them here, with the word "SUBMISSION" written in caps before the link. !IF YOU DON'T WRITE THAT YOU SUBMISSION WILL BE IGNORED
-Your submission should look something like this. It MUST include: At least 1 inspect view of your knight with the "Allow Full Inspect" text visible. If it is not present you are disqualified. At least 1 haven view. Your knight name anywhere on the picture, or in your post. The more pictures the merrier. Just follow the example and you should be fine, but adding more doesn't hurt.
-You MUST own the costume at the time when you submit the picture. If you are found to not have it, you will be disqualified and FIVE GUILD POINTS will be substracted from your guild's score for cheating.
-Don't know how to crop?, Don't have anything to crop with? Those links should get you set I believe. Your submission doesn't have to be art, just make sure we have enough views of your costume.
-DO NOT over-edit your image. A very minor texture or such over it is okay, but it doesn't bring you anything extra so no point in doing that. However, if your edit touched the constrast/brightness/saturation and such, thus making your costume look different than the original, you will be PENALIZED. It's just not cool, mmkay?
-If, for whatever reason, you REALLY can't figure out to do a simple crop and put-together, you can take multiple screenshots of your costume from different angles and haven view and upload them separately as they are.
-Each guild may send maximum 7 people, but you DON'T HAVE TO send that many.
-Each of the judges will give you a score from 0 to 10 and I will make an even of the scores, that will be your final score. The judges will be talking in a private chat. We will try to do this as quick as possible.
-There are no categories, just one big main one.
-There will be 1st and 2nd place, and 3 wildcard favorite choices, one per judge, that will all be counted as 3rd place.
-At 2 PM PST, 11 August 2012, the three judges will be present in Haven 11's Arcade, near Sullivan, and I will announce scores as we get them, like this: "PARTICIPANT A has obtained a score of 6.7" After all the scores have been announced, I will shout the two big winners. Afterwards, each judge will shout the name of their favorite. That favorite must not have won 1st or 2nd place. Results will be posted here shortly afterwards. This will take very little as all scores the judges gave will be known!
-Participants DON'T have to be there at the judging. Nobody HAS to be.
-Submissions close on 12 PM PST, 11 August 2012. Any submissions posted after that date are considered NULL.
That should be it! Just make sure you read it all and understood it, and you're all set. If you have any questions, go on and ask.
Here's all the signed up participants with their submissions and their respective guilds:

It's not much but noone really cares at all about accessories in Big Family so I had to Step in and spend some CE to have at least 1 Participant and sometimes, less is more :)

Balderus from the Guild Aquitas
Keeping the old submission here jus' incase. ӟ
Anyways, here's my new SUBMISSION. I decided the Seerus mask would be better since the white of the vitakit actually complements something now.
I like my fancy eraser, it makes cropping a lot more fun.

The pictures haven't been edited at all other than a slight enhancement to bring out the very subtle effects of my winter aura (Just note that it is there ;3).

@Ters: It's actually not...
@Ters: It's actually not... Besides, there isn't any rule stating you cannot edit your submissions in this way. I made the contrast a little higher so you could see the aura, that is all. It's not like I don't own the costume or changed the actual colors, just made the aura more clear. The rest is simply for presentations sake.
Bigfoot, Potato, and Lost's entries should be in soon.

I'm sorry Red but that IS heavily edited. Knowing all 3 costume, I can tell that the editing did to your, Hadn, and Muppet's costumes a lot- changing the colors to make them contrast more and look better. While they did it jokingly, you seriously think that's minor.. I'm sorry, no.
I've never stated that editing is not allowed however it should be pretty obvious that if you edit it too much to the point where it changes your colors to give a better look, it's not alright.
You can go back and remove the edits from your picture, or have your score lowered due to it. It's just not nice how you've tried to make it look better instead of presenting the original. :/
Just in case anybody else pulls such a stunt, I'll add a rule on it. I never thought it would be necessary, due to your regular knight having some common sense.
Thanks guys for the other submissions! :)
Thrill, two things. First, can you please re-read the rules and see why you'd be disqualified?
Second, I've never said anything about submissions including two knights, but for simplicity and organization, I'd appreciate it if you could submit your entries separately. ^^
It is nice, how the pictures are laid out, though.

One minor probrem Tersakaff
Who's ever heard of a Bonnie & Clyde film with just Clyde? It's absurd and you know it!
Joking aside, we're fine with being rated separately as would be expected, but we prefer to keep one layout for context.
EDIT: We might submit two smaller individual layouts in addition to the unified one.
EDIT: It is done.

Hey Ters, I just started to use the new Gimp. (I used to make tons of signatures for people with the old version) It feels foreign to me, and I hope this came out well: SUMBISSION: http://oi48.tinypic.com/16ie6u.jpg
This is my entry for Alis Aquilae, but we have other possible entries in the works.
Edit: So you know, only thing edited is the background of the HoH. I changed the Saturation.
Edit2: Added Submission even though I said it was my entry <.<

That's fine Poke. It isn't affecting your character itself. Also re-read the rules please... :P
One thing though, might wanna leave the Haven views the original size, scaled up they cannot be seen well.
And thanks for the separate submissions, Thrill

That better? -_-'
Or is there more?
Edit: I can't really do much for the Haven photos. My screen is really small, making it hard to see the picture. It's a matter of blurry vs size. If it's an issue, I'll redo that.

Poke, it needs to have the words, no questions asked. :P
And well, that's understandable. It is a valid submission now though so you don't /HAVE TO/ change it.
Lost, what is your guild? XD

Tersa, I understand about the procedure. It keeps confusion away :)
Anyways, thanks for accepting it the way it is. I barely could see my haven photos when I was using Gimp, before scaling.
Oh, and I'll try to make it, but I might be out a tournament if I win the first round (which I think I can).

It's alright, it's an understandable situation.

New submission limit: 12 PM PST. I originally meant to put that one but I don't know why I changed it??
It's cause us judges need some time to give the scores and stuff so the meeting will go well.

That little Gremla is Sparkle. She's stripping to get to T3 but she's low on funds; doesn't even have strobes lights, guys! Anyway, when she found out about this she wanted me to plug her in. Hope you're happy you needy attention hoar. (I may have edited her a bit, just more emphasis)

Ceremony went fast and smoothly. We had few people which only made it easier.
The scores are as follows, from lowest to highest:
Strikerk from the guild Reign of Fire with a score of 2.6! Sorry man, we just thought it wasn't all that great. :(
Thrillhaus from the guild Aequitas with a score of 2.83! Your story sure was interesting and we all liked it but your costume didn't shine, sadly.
Milkywai from the guild Big Family with a score of 2.83! We didn't really appreciate the use of a pre-made set.
Spooksalot from the guild Echo of Silence with a score of 5.8! It wasn't a bad costume but it just didn't quite do it..
Lostillusion from the guild Knights And Day with a score of 6! We all agreed that you could make a much better use of accessories in this costume.
Meixmei from the guild Aequitas with a score of 6! It isn't a bad idea but certain things are just not done well and can be improved!
Asukalan from the guild Impervious with a score of 6.25! Several details have brought down this costume a lot, but it's not a bad one! (I personally like it but we didn't allow our preferences to influence the judging)
Balderus from the guild Aequitas with a score of 7.3! If not for a last minute costume change, this gentleman would've scored a lot higher. :( (Vitakit is on the back, Seerus' white is on the front man!)
Vawdrey from the guild Echo of Silence with a score of 7.6! Not a bad costume but we felt it certainly lacked a few qualities.
Jade-Rabbit from the guild Echo of Silence with a score of 7.6! A rather interesting costume that fits the theme of a rabbit, however due to certain details, it lost a few points!
Muppet from the guild Echo of Silence with a score of 8.3! A rather well-done and eye-pleasing costume, however some things just irked us about it. A good one regardless!
Redfevrier from the guild Knights and Day with a score of 8.3! A pretty nice costume, however it has some little flaws and it doesn't have that "wow!" feeling to it.
Michaelb from the guild Valkyrie Knights with a score of 8.3! A well-balanced and neat costume! While it could use a few improvements, it is really nice as-is.
Pokenuevo from the guild Alis Aquilae with a score of 8.6! Well done! This costume can certainly catch your eye despite being rather common, Pokenuevo made the best out of it!
Hadn from the guild Echo of Silence with a score of 9.5! Definitely one of the best costumes out there! Everything is really well balanced and thought out and it's certainly something that just has that "wow!"
But that's not all! Every judge has picked their favorite! These favorites are...
Aquillion has picked Michaelb ! Congratulations!
Raphael-Sabrewing has picket Redfevrier! Congratulations!
And Tersakoff has picked Muppet ! Congratulations!
