***vote*** X-manip Comp #10

That one sounds a little too vague. Gender bender, comic scene, or scene panel are the three choices, IMO.

Oh, I meant for it more to be a rule as opposed to a theme.

Eh, I don't think that's a good rule. If the theme calls for motion, then good manippers will make their characters be in motion. For gender bender and comic scene, though, it's kinda restrictive. I'm the type who prefers as little restriction as possible.

How is making a character not just standing there restrictive?

The fact that they can't stand or walk toward the camera is restrictive. If it weren't, there would be no reason to make the rule. Rules are there to restrict. Some rules are necessary - one entry per person, no drafts, entry and voting deadlines... Some aren't, though; and like I said, I don't like to be restricted.

Besides, take a look at that pic I posted:

I'm doing a manip based on this pic. If the theme were comic scenes, and your rule was added in, I couldn't enter it, right?

 

[Majik1387]

You'd be able to enter it sure, they're not just standing there, they're interacting with each other.

So what are you disallowing? Could you give an example?

^^Thanks for the suggestions guys/gals, but as TKing has said - movie-verse is dull. And I'm not interested in continuing in that universe, it's been done time and time again. I'm pretty much set on this 'Gender-Swap' theme anyways.
Rules are needed to create structure, without them we end up going nowhere. No point in having these competitions without challenges, it's just not fun. We all know how to do head-swaps, we all know how to make Rogue's white streak, so why not take it up a notch and try to think outside the box (Outside the bun, for the USA residents ) Restrictions bring out the best in us, because we are forced to find new ways of doing things - and in that - we learn new techniques and grow better at what we do. Think of restrictions more like obstacles instead of something preventive. There's ways around them, you just have to try harder. t:

Like there should be more than just head swapping on the promo pics bodies. Let's have a challenge for once.

 

[TKing]

who said it wa the last one???? keep up tk

Yeah let the comps die with this one, looks like it's for the best.

You said it yourself, some of the entries are getting poorer because people aren't taking as much time.
