Artist, Creators, Saviors and Lovers.
I read the conversations after our 4th Fan Art Festival. Like I mentioned and always same, that all works are unique and I certainly don’t want to see that most of those are their last piece of work.
So I would like to talk about, How this work but also this Fan Art Fest is still in early stage it’s a 4th Fest now and I think that we still could make the procedure or very festival some improvements.
1. Why 10± pieces be nominated?
This would be a good start. Picking 10 is not because we hate numbers more than 10 We would love to put the entire works for the loading screen. But to do so, we also faced difficulties with patch applying procedures and administration. So that is why we limited number with ±10 works.
2. Who to be nominated?
To be honest with grading the Artwork, I think admiring art is the matter of perspective. I don’t support who is better than who or grading someone’s effort by some cold number. What do matters is when you felt something through that piece. But at our Fan Art Festival we also have to consider things such as something could be problematic or debatable. Since this piece will put in to show, for many people throughout the regions. But this is not the serious competitions. We don’t put serious rules to grade them. But we look into if this got some bright ideas or fits ToS atmospheres.
3. Repetitive nominees?
And our thoughts leads to repetitive nominees.
Like I said I think all the works are unique, by every new theme, it will lead to every new work. And if there is one that shows great effort and with shiny ideas it could be nominated the second time in a row. But that, I think it is a luck. Since this nominating process involves not only our staff but also other sections too. For example the graphics. So I thought, by prohibiting someone to enlist the event just because he nominated last time is not really giving everyone equal chance.
4. What are we going to do NOW?
It is also the fact that we didn’t put much deeper thought about it too. Thoughts about the one. Whom didn’t receive an honor. Is this means their work is not good enough? I think we all know that their work is as great as the nominees. But how could improve this Fan Art Fest? making the procedure or the event better than before, This I would like to discuss with you.
So if you have any ideas do not hesitate to talk about it.
Every Idea could inspire someone else, and by inspiring and talking about it would simply make improvements.
I also want to appreciate that every creators who apply for the event. -and of course who didn’t too- and I respect them. I also want all the creators, artists, Fan fiction writers, imaginations to be respected too. Since they are the people who enriches our Communities.
