Scoring and judging discussion

[Neo Emolga]

So with the time limit for judge applications up, I jumped into judge applications and here's what we have:

HUMOR: EmeraldSky
CREATIVE WRITING: LKWayvern, Noblejanobii, Chakramaster
ROLEPLAYING: Neo Emolga, Noblejanobii
SPRITE ART: Noblejanobii
DRAWN ART: Chakramaster
GRAPHIC ART: Chakramaster

I would say finalize it as this:

HUMOR: EmeraldSky
CREATIVE WRITING: LKWayvern
ROLEPLAYING: Neo Emolga
SPRITE ART: Noblejanobii
DRAWN/GRAPHIC ART: Chakramaster

For the art, we may need to make it a hybrid version and say you CAN use Photoshop, but all the character art HAS to be your own. Which means if you want to do a banner with Pikachu, that's great! But you gotta draw that Chu yourself. No using anime shots or Sugimori's stuff as your render. To me, this could work and it would be interesting to try. But yeah, since we only have one applicant for both art sections, we may need to do something like this.

What do you guys think?

Darn how did I miss this xD That list looks good Neo. Let's go with it!

I think it might be best for Chakra to do Drawn Art though and I can do Graphic Art myself. I just feel like it's too hard to judge if they're combined. Like if someone does a meh Pikachu drawing but makes an AWESOME banner but then someone does an amazing Pikachu drawing, who would win? xD

I'll PM them all and let them know what the next step is (to come up with their 4 week plan for the section). I'll also give them access to this board so they can post stuff here :)

THE PM:

Thanks for applying to judge PXFIRE 2017!

You have been selected as the judge for the ____ section.

The next step is to come up with a 4 week plan for your section. This must include how many events you are running and how long each event is. You must also submit the themes and rules for each event so that we have a record of them in case something comes up and someone else needs to take over. We'd like to have all this information in by JUNE 18TH if possible.

Here is an example of what information we need:

Section: Graphic Art
Number of events: 2
Duration of events: Each event lasts for one week
Event 1: TEAM SPIRIT! Create a signature banner which includes your team name and a slogan representing them. It also needs to include at least one Pokemon. Fan art is allowed. The goal is to make a banner which best represents your team. The maximum size is 800x300px.
Event 2: etc.

By JUNE 25TH we would like you to have posted your thread in the PXFIRE Planning board so that it is ready to be made public once the event starts! This includes your rubric for grading. Here is an example rubric.

Section: Graphic Art

Fits the theme (includes all aspects listed in the rules): 20 points
Use of colour (do the colours work well together, how was lighting used): 20 points
Flow of banner (where is the eye attracted to, is the direction of the banner clear): 20 points
Text (font, placement, colour etc.) 20 points
Technique (did you make the banner yours, is there overall evidence of skill and technique in the brushwork, text, color, flow etc.): 20 points
TOTAL OUT OF 100.

If you need help coming up with ideas or want feedback on your ideas at all, feel free to post in the PXFIRE planning board and we can all help each other!

Please take a look at the WAR Season II threads for each section, to get an idea of how your thread will look and what kind of events we require: http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/for...FIRST&%239733;

When planning your events, please keep in mind that we want everyone to participate so, as much as possible, make sure the events aren't too difficult, time consuming or limited by timezones.

Thanks again for applying. PXFIRE couldn't run without you guys!

If you have any questions feel free to contact me anytime or post in the planning board.
