Actually dots per inch and pixels per inch are very different depending on what kind of printer you have, however, this is a contest for a design that will be used within a video game, so I believe GD meant to use the term pixels per inch.

They are easily confused, especially if you work in an environment where they are both used frequently.

Edit: I think they are giving us such a big size so that they can easily convert the design to the texture format for UL. It is always easier to shrink something than enlarge.

I think FreeLanZer is a close second.

Game on.

Also, I agree with BAD. I'd hope that the design choice would include recognition of concept, and not just snazzy graphic design. I'd like to know if somoene submitted a rough sketch of something that conceptually is perfect, that they'd have a fighting chance at the win, even if it meant finding someone to do the actual graphics later. There's plenty of talent in the community, that I'm sure would be willing to help make it shirt-texture ready.

I wouldn't want anyone to think they can't enter, because they don't feel up to the high-end graphic bar present in fans like Tweek.

Hmm... If only I had photoshop, I have this awesome idea >.>

But yeah, everyone should enter, even all you can do is a stick figure or something like that. Stick figures are fun

I'd imagine getting the concept illustrated by the graphics person of your choice would be the option to take before then submitting it, Eleri.

Which begs the question, GD - Are designs submitted by joint applicants acceptable under the contest rules?

There's always the free and open source GIMP.

Would it be all right to collaborate on the designs? That way, the folks who doodle but don't do heavy-duty CG could work with somebody who does CG but may not necessarily feel inspired...

for their first month or in the first month that UL will be available?

And I think we need clarification on the size of the image (pixel).

That's it! Or more accurately, it's ppi, not dpi...but w/e

Well I made 2 versions one was dpi I think and the other was ppi either way one was like 500px by 700 and the other is 1000px by 2000px (approx) course already sent off the first (smaller) version >.< gotta find out if I can resend it.

Someone just e-mailed me and told me about this...

Most of my friends know what I've got up my sleeves...but here's my problem...

Squees and mangree's aside...I have a love of the Bahro. I have one screenshot of a Bahro from M5 that I have lovingly named "Bahro Joe". So my question is: is it permissible for me to use my photo of Bahro Joe on my design?

I just love that guy...If Cyan ever opened up a Theme Park, I'd search high and low to get a picture taken with one of those guys. They're so cute with the big blue eyes....

Look!! A Bahro!! Wait, wait, let me stand next to him...POOF!



LOL...

But the question stands...can I use a screenshot of a Bahro?

I was just going to ask that. I'm not a particularely good drawer, but I know someone who is excellent, and then I could photoshop it into a design because I'm good at Photoshop. Would those be accepted?

Since the only award is getting your shirt picked, I would think collaborations would be acceptable. I obviously have no idea for sure though.

awww... the bahro is soo cute!! I'm sure you could use it...I mean they own it right? You're gonna have to think about what it would look like on a game t-shirt though.....

The postcard of Joe and I is a joke...that is not remotely what I would enter. But I just LOOOOOOVE the Bahro...they're just so damn cute!!! If they let me I'd probably use the outline of one... and you're absolutely right, the detail is a little tough when you put it on a piece of virtual clothing...trust me, I know a lot about that. *Cough* TFC *Cough*

GD, can I get a ruling? Bahro or no Bahro?
