Jeric 46,851 September 20, 2015 Share September 20, 2015 "Buffy needs your help!" Announcing the MLP Forums Mascot Cutie Mark Design Contest! Art by @SFyr Back in August of last year we launched a contest, open to all Forum members, with the sole purpose of creating a what would be the MLP Forums mascot. The winner, @Shift, gave us Buffy. Her grand unveiling was met with overwhelming approval from the community. While she has been seen from time to time on MLP Forums, there was always one missing element to her design. Buffy is a ... *gasp* ... blank flank. Go away you two! We aim to rectify this horrible travesty. No MLPF Mascot should be deprived the symbolic depiction of her special talent! This is a call to all artists and designers out there. Today we stand as one community, united, and with one voice crying out ... give Buffy her mark! The winning design will forever be used with future depictions of Buffy - including MLP Forums promotional material and art. Not only will you have a chance to leave your mark (ha) on the community ... the winning artist will be the proud owner of a one-of-a-kind custom plushie! (see below). Buffy Cutie Mark Contest Rules This is an art/design contest open to all members of all skill levels.There is no theme, however we suggest you read the two recent winning fics in the next section that highlight Buffy's personality and traits to get some inspiration. (see below)This design needs to be forum safe (no NSFW content)Multiple entries will be allowed (up to three).Please PM all entries to the Administrators (@Jeric, @Yellow Diamond, , and )Contest closes Sunday Oct 4th at 11:59 PM EST Judging will begin immediately and will involve MLPF staff.Non US members are eligible to receive the prize as we will ship internationallyInclude an explanation of why you went with the cutie mark you designed.There are no resolution and format requirementsAbout Buffy HUG ME I'M CYOOT!Buffy: MLP Forums' mascot, Buffy is an absolute bundle of fun. She was based off of Shift, who designed her. So she will sometimes speak in CAPS LIKE THIS. Kind, adoring, would do anything for a friend. She's not really a voice of wisdom by any means, but she still gives her opinion anyway. She's a blabbermouth, and loves to chat (since, you know, forums and all!). She's a huge fan of watching shows and getting into heavy (but friendly) debates about them with the ponies around town. On a sadder note, she tends to feel lonely quite often, which is a big reason why she makes her voice so loud. She wants to be heard, to feel important and noticed.Buffy Fimfiction Inspiration Creation of a Mediaverse by SFyr Terms and Conditions by Fahrenheit Win a Custom Buffy Plushie!As this is a long anticipated event we decided to go all out with the prize on this one. The winning cutie mark design will be the proud owner of one of the most unique items we have ever offered - A custom Buffy Pony plush! @Nervous Stitch, a phenomenal custom plush maker and member of MLP Forum staff, has volunteered to donate her time and materials to create Buffy for the winner of this contest. The best part of this is ... the plushie will feature YOUR DESIGN! To get a good idea of Stitch's skill level ...A note about the plushie: completion will depend on Stitch's current clients and whether the member is international as I will be covering international shipping. That said, she has stated that she blocked out some time for its completion.

Shift 4,272 September 20, 2015 Share September 20, 2015 how funny would it be if entered? Well good luck to everyone, hopefully you all can give Buffy a really cool cutie mark. Like, an axe, or something. Wait, that has zero to do with her personality... a FRIENDSHIP axe! Okay, there we go. 11 Have the courage to think and act on your own. And have the courage to disobey.

Jeric 46,851 September 20, 2015 Author Share September 20, 2015 Is there a recommended resolution? I was going to use 2000x2000. 2000x2000 works. Realisically we have already planned to have an artist ready to redraw the cutie mark since we opened the contest to all talent levels. That means that image extension and resolution aren't hard and fast rules. BTW ALL ENTRANTS! PLEASE DO NOT POST THE IMAGE IN THIS TOPIC OR OR WILL BE DELETED. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars 4,862 September 20, 2015 Share September 20, 2015 Good luck to everyone!! Buffy is super dear to me, and I'm excited to see what you'll have planned for her. (Though I'm not judging or anything, so I'll get to see it when she's finished!) how funny would it be if entered? Well good luck to everyone, hopefully you all can give Buffy a really cool cutie mark. Like, an axe, or something. Wait, that has zero to do with her personality... a FRIENDSHIP axe! Okay, there we go. If you don't enter I'll cry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
