    FFR Create-a-Token-Image Contest!

    Create a Token Image Contest




    Hey everyone! So as you know, every week we have a few songs being released into the game. Sometimes, these songs are released as tokens (mainly skill tokens). However, as they are tokens they need token images to go with them! Currently, as you may be aware, quite a few of the newer tokens do not have images for them. Well guess what: You are all invited to try your hand at making some stellar token graphics for the new songs! (Just in time, I saw a lot of 'where are the token images :'<' posts)


    Judges:
    Netjet!
    Silvuh
    jimerax
    Spenner
    Nick Skyline

    The winners of the contest will be determined by both the judges and the community. The judge team will narrow down the entries to the best (in our opinion), and the community will be able to vote on which of the selected images would best suit the song as its' token image.

    Signups

    As this contest is an open invitation for all users, signup is not required. However, make sure to follow the submission process carefully so we can list you as one of the entrants of the contest.


    Start and End Time


    The contest will begin on December 24th, and will run for TWO WEEKS, until January 7th. As token graphics are not too complicated to create, we feel that two weeks will be an ample amount of time to complete them. You should have no problem with completing and refining your entry or entries!


    PRIZES

    As is obvious, the winning token image entry for each song will be the permanent token image. Also, you will be mentioned in a front page post about the contest!

    In addition to this, the top 3 images for each song will be rewarded with the following:

    1st Place - 25,000 Credits (winner's image will be used)
    2nd Place - 10,000 Credits
    3rd Place - 5,000 Credits

    So, that's a total credit pot of 40,000 per song!


    The Template!

    Here's the token template you can use to create your tokens:



    Silvuh asked me to post the psd file he uses when making token images:



    Might be useful to some of you guys. Good luck!

    "The thing is 4x the actual size, so resize to 25% before saving ... Merging the layers before resizing results in a sharper image than resizing without merging."


    The Songs

    The songs that need tokens, which are listed on the Skill Token Info and Token Info pages, are:

    Ball of Malt v2
    S
    R176 v2
    My Little Pony Medley [Heavy]
    Nothing's Gonna Stop Me v2
    Kirlian Shores
    The earth blew up v2
    World End's Yama Xanadu
    White Walls, Part 2
    The Games We Played (Full Edition)


    All of these songs are IN GAME, so if you would like to play the song to get a better grasp about what it's all about and how the song flows, go for it!


    Contest Rules

    * You can have five entries per token, no more than that!
    * Token graphics may not include any NSFW (not safe for work) or gross material
    * You may only use the token template we provide!
    * Do not attempt to plagiarize other peoples' work, only provide that which is your own


    SUBMITTING YOUR IMAGES!

    **VERY IMPORTANT**

    * You may submit your token(s) here, or via PM to myself (if you want to keep it a secret). In the PM, make sure to title it "Token Image Contest - [user] Entry" with [user] as your username. If you are submitting via PM, you must submit all tokens in one PM so my inbox isn't flooded!
    * If you submit your token(s) in this thread, you can do so in multiple posts.


    Judging

    As was said before, the judging team will carefully look at all of the submitted images, and narrow down each song's entry list and will have the community vote for each one. Each song will potentially have 3-5 images to vote on for the winner.

    In the event of a TIE, the judging team will make the decision of which is the winner.



    If you have any questions, feel free to ask here!

    Good luck everyone!

      But then my lady friend got pissed off I was playing FFR instead of playing her. Then for the rest of the night she played the 'Only want me for my body' card and I didn't get to sleep with blankets that night.

            Re: FFR Create-a-Token-Image Contest!

            This seems like a great time to try and find the 50+ tokens I created years ago. The only problem is that all of mine are based off of the original tokens template which are probably not as good (clear/clean/etc) as the current template. If I find them, and find the time to upload them, I'll add them here.

              There may be only one entry per token per person
              This rule is dumb if there's going to be voting. Why limit to one design? Not sure if community voting is a good idea either..
              Also, sup thought I was asked as judge? lmao

                Some of the tokens I've seen don't have that hand in there. You can, but it isn't mandatory.

                EDIT: I would say yes, even though it's not mandatory.

                Being a judge for this contest, I don't know if the "one design per person" rule is a good idea, either. I'd put it to seven just to be safe, because there are some people that can come up with a lot of very good designs for a design competition; not just here, but all around the internet. Also, two weeks to come up with just one design to submit here means that you have to be a little bit too brutal with your designs. If you make, say, around 30, them the narrowing-down-to-submit process becomes a little too brutal for some. Speaking of being a judge, I don't recall you ever receiving one of these e-mails from Netjet...but I think he could hire you if you ask him very nicely.

                In summation, you have a good point here.

                    The only Skill Token that doesn't have the hand is Otaku Speedvibe [Oni].

                        The point of this is to have a choice of designs, and limiting the amount of designs someone can submit to one will limit the amount of creative designs that might pop up as well. A limit is fine but one is harsh.

                              That makes sense. The limit was just put there so there wouldn't be a gigantic overflow of submissions, but since they're very simple I think you guys are right.

                              I changed the limit to 5 per person, I think that should be good.

                              I did ask you, yeah, but you said you were a little busy at the moment and afterwards enough people signed on. If you want to help judge still, you can if you'd like though



                              Also, as for the hand it's preferred that you use it because it's how every other token has been done (except for Oni).
