PokéHeroes Crafting Contest

We're bringing back an oldie this time! Let's make some real life decorations! One doll house here, another wooden puppet there. . . Done! Now to keep it safe from my cats Maybe I can put some in my display cabinet, but it's still so empty.
Maybe you can help fill it up? Maybe there's something new you've always wanted to try? If there was ever a time, today is that day! Maybe you can learn how to play the piano, or the guitar. . . or maybe you can try your hand(s) at sculpting something!

We’ve had quite some (2D) artistic contests before, so let’s take this one to the third dimension! Ever wanted to see Leah from all sides? See the Honeytree from up close? Here’s your chance!
Take some clay, make some salt dough, try some new origami or try to 3D-layer some interesting designs; as long as it’s in 3D, you’re on the right track (:
So. . . now that you know what you can use, what exactly do you need to do?
Pick anything pokéheroes or pokémon related and make a 3D model of it. This can go from a figurine to an entire scene! You can also check out previous years' entries and get inspired!
[note - some images might be broken, as some links to break with age]


Reward Time

Knowledge is the only reward you need in life! However, giving additional rewards isn't so bad. So as with all contests, there's something in it for everyone who joins. If you're one of the winners, you will receive

4 months of premium.

If you join, but don't win, as always there'll be a consolation prize of 2 weeks premium for the effort you put in as a thank you for joining (:


Entry Requirements

Creation type: 3D.

* You are allowed to use colours on your structure, but drawings of any kinds won’t be allowed if they’re the only thing. A drawn scene of Leah staring out at sea is not okay. A sculpted Leah staring into a drawn background of the sea is fine. The 3D model needs to be the main interest, but can be supported by drawings.

* You can use 3D modeling software to figure out your design, but it needs to be realised for it to count.

Creation design: Pokémon or PokéHeroes

* As long as it’s related to PokéHeroes or pokémon, you can let your creativity go wild. PokéSonas are also fair game, though please make sure you have permission to use said PokéSona.

* Due to the nature of the prize, we reserve the right to decide a submission is excluded from the consolation prize if it's clear no real effort [less than 30 minutes of work] was put into the artwork.

Copyright: It has to be made entirely by you.

* The use of pre-existing figurines or art drawn by someone else will disqualify you from the participation prize as well. What you submit needs to be 100% yours.


How to enter

Please send a picture of your final piece through PM to CatLady. Put "Crafting Contest Entry" as the subject. Include at least 2 photos from different angles and at least 1 Work-in-Progress [WIP] photo. Include your username somewhere in the photo*. Only the photo you want to submit for voting, should not have your username on it, so the other Staff don't know it's you.

[tl;dr - at least 4 photos in total; 1 for voting, at least 2 (with username visible) from different angles to prove 3D-ness and at least 1 WIP (with username visible) to prove you've made it yourself]

* Your username needs to be physically in the photo, either on a separate piece of paper or on the artwork itself [as long as it's covered up for the voting photo]. Digitally adding your username cannot be used as proof that you've made the art piece.

you can also film yourself when working on it, but photos work fine

Please submit your finished creations through PM only.

Deadline
The deadline is August 15th, 23:59
The winners will be chosen by us, the staff, based on quality
The winners will be revealed as soon as possible

Please keep SPAM posts out of this thread (:

Most important of all, though, I hope you all HAVE FUN~

Sent an entry! Might make more :3

If I was to use a 3D software such as blender, would a picture of my screen from another device with my username on a piece of paper suffice? (Since digitally adding won't count?)

Sorry if that doesn't make sense 😞

alright, dumb question but I want to make sure.

If I make a 3D set, but don't have the skills to make 3D Pokemon for it, am I able to draw a Pokemon on a piece of paper and use that as a part of the craft? (example, draw a Pidgey and put it on a stick or string)

@truCrystalBorf

if it’s a part of your entry and not the actual entry itself, or if you’re thinking of something like a paper puppet theatre, then i suppose that should be alright

edit: oh mb. well i guess i gotta start from scratch again

---

@Okami_Scratch - If you can't hold it in real life, it doesn't count. You can use blender to plan your project, but you need to actually make it for it to count.

A picture of your screen with your 3D model displayed will not count.

@truCrystalBorf - I'm gonna say "No" on that.

---

Can I enter using a pokeheroes inspired plush I've made sometime ago? I have WIP photos of it too

I think the answer is no but figured I'd ask anyways given my busy schedule

---

No, it needs to be made after the contest was announced.

---

Makes sense, sadly I won't have time for it. I wish everyone else good luck though!

---

Can we share our entries as soon as they're done, or do we have to wait for the winners to be announced?

---

As always, your entries are for Staff's eyes only, until the winners are revealed.

---

Would I be able to build something out of Legos? (one of the previous winners had, but I wanna double check!)

---

Using Lego Blocks is absolutely fine (:
