[Over][ES] Head Texture Of The Month IV
Say hello again to Head Texture of the Month, hosted by the ES team and made successful by you, the artists! We're counting on you guys to make this event fun and productive, so bring your A-Game to the drawing board and let's get started!
We give you guys a theme to work with, and you have three weeks after launch to make a fantastic (512x512) head texture. The person who makes the head texture that best fits the judging criteria gets a 512x512 Head Texture Item as well as 30,000 tc and 4 st. Even if you don't come out on top, you have the opportunity to work with us and with each other to improve. Sounds pretty cool, yeah?
- The winner will receive a 512x512 Head Texture Item + 30,000 Toricredits + 4 Shiai Tokens.
- As an optional prize, the winner will also be given the choice of creating the next month’s banner and thread art.
- Every month we gonna have a honourable mention who receive 2 Shiai Tokens and a Random Item.
- Winning entries and notable submissions will be happily advertised in the original post of the following month’s thread with the artists credited, as well as in a sticky thread in the Art forum.
- If you’re looking to establish yourself as an artist in the Toribash community, here’s your chance for publicity!
- Plagiarism is bad. It isn’t a matter of if we find out, it’s about when we find out. Don’t try your luck.
- If your submission looks like a joke, it will be completely ignored.
- A rough Sketch or WIP is required in order to prove that this is a head in progress and not a pre-made head that you are reposting.
- Do not submit/recycle old textures.
- Only 1 submission per month.
- Collaborations are fine, prize will be split in that situation.
- No Copy/Paste art allowed.

- You have until the 25th day of the month to post your entries.
- Submissions must be in 512x512 resolution or higher.
- Post your watermarked flats in this thread with spherical previews.
- To ensure the head is properly judged, please make your previews for the head clear, show all aspects of the head, and try to keep watermarks somewhat non-intrustive (while still being effective).
- You are encouraged to post frequent WIPs, just make sure to verify in your post what the final product is.

After the 25th day of the month, the submission window is closed and judging begins.
Your entries will be judged, based on these criteria:
-How well the idea fits the theme
-Uniqueness - think outside the box, it could be the difference between winning and losing.
-Execution of the idea
Once the judges have decided on a winner, a post will be made announcing the artist who won.
The post will also include CnC of other’s work to let the artists know what to improve on and what they did right.
The entries will be judged by The ES Team.
This month's theme is MEDIEVAL FANTASY!
Orcs and elves, knights and dragons, VIKINGS! And any other things that fit in this category.

the shadow of that green thing is too big from down and none at top
add more things to the face and make him a bit more ugly
try to make horns on sides coming out from the hair to the up direction.
other than that, the man on the head really looks really awesome.
the nose and the face is fat and ugly and it is a good thing xD
the hair is drawn perfect.
the eyes are looking on that man and that's nice but not really appearing good enough, try to make it bigger a bit(the green not white)
also, there is nothing wrong with the mapping.
[08:56] <Reta> The concept of the head is surprisingly refreshing. I can't remember to have seen that before and it is definitely a lot more innovative than the bunch of orc heads as entry.
[08:56] <Reta> However the nose ~ eye proportions seem to be a bit off. I would suggest to either make the nose smaller or the eyes bigger!
[08:56] <Reta> The back of the head does look strange too, as there is a load of shadow that doesnt seem to have any origin or rather the origin wouldnt throw that big of a shadow.
[08:56] <Reta> I also do not understand why he suddenly bleeds from his lower lip because the Little man pulls on his upper lip, but I guess that was to add some more Details.2nd place - Headles!

try to add some cracks to skull.
you may change horns direction to upward
add a bit of scratches and blood on the skin.
add veins to eyes, but don't mirror, draw different ones.
just try to make it more ugly, not sadly, got it?
other than that, the concept of the head is really nice.
the mapping is Perfect as well, you made it in 1024x512.
shading is a bit smooth and looks nice.
[09:03] <Reta> The (I assume it is a goblin) face Looks really detailed, all These wrinkles must have been alot of work and Show some serious dedication.
[09:03] <Reta> How ever the head is mirrored which kinda ruins that effort. The Skull lacks Details and is too smudgy/blurry in comparison to the face itself.Additionally, both of those will be featured in the next HTOTM OP as well as a sticky thread in the art forum.
Thanks to everybody for participating!
