July's theme is 'Inner Demons'.
All FINAL IMAGES on a separate thread here: http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/ShowThread.aspx?PostID=117647#117647
Using the wip thread is mandatory for inclusion into the challenge. One entry per person.
Finished art must be posted before midnight July 31st to be considered as an entry. Voting will then commence. New artwork produced within the monthly timeframe to be used only.
Challenge ends at midnight July 31st GMT time.
There is a 5 min grace period for people to finish posting their images. At that point voting will begin and last until midnight August 5th GMT time.
Notice: Challenge Rule update! Anybody wishing to have their entry included in voting MUST include at least 2 WIP stages in the WIP thread.
In order to make it easier to find these WIPs when setting up voting, entrants MUST also include 2 "clickable" links direct to their own WIP stages in the relevant WIP thread.
Entrants can post far more than 2 WIP stages if they like in the WIP thread, as long as 2 seperate links are included with the image posted in the Final Entry thread.
Both links must show different stages of the pictures development (i.e. you can't just post a couple of quick early pencil sketches for WIP and skip to the the finished pic).
Any entry not including 2 valid links (as described above) will be disqualified and not be included in the voting list.
It will be the responsibility of the entrant to ensure the links are there and that they link to the correct artwork.
Even If you have posted artwork in the WIP thread, you will still be disqualified from entry if you do not supply the links to those images.
A link to show how to do this can be found here: http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/thread/107660.aspx
Also, It has been brought to our attention by members of the forums that there may or may not be an issue with vote tampering and cheating within the challenges. Be assured that multiple puppeteers are being watched, as well as their marionettes. Cheating in the challenges is highly frowned upon by everyone and creating multiple false accounts is a breach of the terms and conditions of the ImagineFX site. Any accounts believed to be false will have their votes silently vetoed when tallying is done at the end of the challenge and at the mods discretion. Those thought to be cheating will also be given a private warning and the accounts thought to be false will be forwarded on to the IFX management for further investigation. Cheating will not be tolerated.
Please be assured that we have checked previous challenges and re-tallied the scores and the the outcomes of each challenge so far has been fair and that the instances in those challenges thought to be tampering did not change the outcome. These challenges are meant to be fun and fair. Please keep them that way.
