Head Texture of the Month: Horror!


It's that spooky time of year again, so let's make some equally spooky head textures!



In this event, the Event Squad (ES) give you guys a theme to work with, and you have 4 weeks to create an amazing head texture. The person who creates the head that best fits the judging criteria receives prizes. But don't worry if you don't make it out on top, as there will be several honourable mentions. Now let's get right into it!



The winner will receive the following:



100000 TC

The winners of the honourable mentions prize will receive the following:



All winning entries and honourable mention winners will be mentioned in both the Opening Post of the next HTotM with the artists credited AND in a Sticky thread in the art forum. So if you're looking for a chance to establish yourself as an artist in the Toribash community, this is it!



We do still have rules that are to be followed. Keep in mind we may not judge your art if it doesn't follow ALL of these rules.

- No plagiarism, this isn't tolerated at all and is severely punishable
- If your submission looks like a joke, it will not be judged.
- Do not submit old/pre-made textures.
- A rough sketch or WIP is required to prove that it is a head in progress and not a pre-made head that you are reposting.
- Collaborations are allowed, however in this scenario prizes will be split.
- Only one submission is allowed, which also means no alts used to submit two different heads. If you're collaborating with another artist, you can only submit that head.
- Submissions must be in 512x512 or higher.
- Post watermarked flats in this thread with spherical previews. It would be much appreciated if you used Toribash Textures for 3D previews.
- If you aren't using Toribash Textures, ensure to make your previews clear, show all aspects of your head and attempt to keep watermarks somewhat non-intrusive while still being effective.
- We encourage you to post frequent WIPs, just make sure in your post that it's clear what the final product is.



Four weeks after this post, the ES will judge the entries and the process begins. It could take anywhere between 2 days to 1 week. Your entries will be judged based on the following criteria:

- How well the idea fits the theme
- Uniqueness; think outside the box, as it could be the difference between winning and losing
- The execution of your idea

Once the judges have decided on a winner, a post will be made announcing the artists who won / received honourable mentions. Good luck!

This month's theme is HORROR
The winners of the Previous HTotM event were as follows:

Winner: Dengue
Honourable mentions: Chab and Clint


The deadline is 31st of October, 20:00 (GMT+0)

For the record, this thread is for the submissions for this month's HTotM and not to look back at the results of last month. If you want to talk about last month discuss it in #art or somewhere else but this isn't the right place.
Any future posts that discuss previous months instead of the current submissions will be deleted and/or infracted.

Micah I love you but what you guys fail to realize with what Horizon is saying is more fact than any of you could understand, realize that Horizon is also an ES artist and has more insight on this predicament. Nonetheless, I see the flaw but there isn't much that can be done except for going over the top this time, wishing everyone good luck and can't wait to see this month's entries.

Lets break it down then. With what is so called "fact".

"stop sooking and make some art if you want to compete. people need to understand that not everyone on the judging panel are elite artists, and that art is voted for because judges LIKE it, not because of how much time you've spent studying and implicating a certain art style. be humble in defeat and move on."


people need to understand that not everyone on the judging panel are elite artists and that art is voted for because judges LIKE it.: Obviously, and no one is asking them to be. The point of said criteria is for the judges to judge by, and the artist to use as guidelines. I LIKED almost every head submitted, but my liking does not dictate which head is better, the criteria does. (should)

not because of how much time you've spent studying and implicating a certain art style.: Clearly misunderstood this all together. When art style was mentioned during the discussion it was in relation to the uniqueness of artist and the applicability to toribash head textures and this events set guidelines, ex. No abstract artist is going to come here think for 4 hours make 3 colorful marks say its a horror head and expect it to win. No one expects judges to judge based on the artists' styles, how is that not common knowledge. How the artist draws does not matter, how the artists' drawing fit the criteria is what (should) matter. A realistic piece should not be chosen over a cartoon/anime one because the winner before it was also realistic and vice versa.
(Edit: This is mainly in regards to the idiotic 'It just another wizard, or just another anime girl' argument that is so popular.)

The fact that he is/was an ES artist and has "insight on this predicament" just makes this that much more disappointing.
But clearly, it doesn't matter. Good luck everyone, have some fun

This.

Micah's Nonsense



The only thing that’s disappointing is the amount of effort you just put into a post without analyzing the whole conversation. Please bare in mind what Natejas said and vent to me through PM if you’re still confused. Not going to justify my opinion anymore, as it’s clear that I’m not the only one that’s “ignorant”.

On a serious note, we will be ensuring that the criteria is followed as always and that the winner is determined as their artwork fits. Good luck to all contestants, I’m keen to see what you all come up with.
