Badge Artwork for Shatnerball II Contest!!!

[AGD]

AO Artists!!

This is your chance to participate in the Shatner event Splatt Attack II! We are looking for artwork for the player badges. It's going to be a western theme and we are looking for stuff like a wanted poster or some kind of wild west theme.

The artwork needs to be 2.25 inches wide and 3.2 inches tall at 300 DPI. There needs to be 1/4" blank space at the bottom. We will select a winner by the end of the week. We would prefer Photoshop PSD files.

THE WINNER GETS A WARP OR AN INTELLIFRAME!!

Go for it guys, Shatner is counting on you!

Hey Jam...where you at homey?

[-=Squid=-]

I really wish that I could actually draw, and then scan a picture and send it to you. I always have great ideas that I could express detailed and clearly on a physical medium, but suck with photoshop. Im outo f luck again.

[MXS]

Describe your ideas here and let a graphics guru go from there! Who says we can't collaborate? You guys can sort out who gets the goodies later :p

We're talking shoot-out at the OK Corral; no-holds barred poker game for the celebrity commanders; "stagecoach" robberies for gold and loot; Indian guides and PAINTBALL!
:D

Good luck!

[-=Squid=-]

Well there lies the problem. Its to hard to describe what im thinking, exactly how I am thinking it. And I truthfully doubt somebody would make the image for me, and bypass there own chance at winning. Sadness. :(

[rkjunior303]

where are some forward looking shots of TK? Is that .25'' in addition to the 3.2'' height? or 3.2 total?

[Skoad]

Ok hold up, is this a badge for the "borg" or whatever team tom is going to be on or is it one for all players?


input!

[MXS]

This will be the commemorative event badge that all the players will be getting. One design for everyone. Total heighth is 3.2 inches, which includes the .25 inch blank spot at the bottom (for ref punches, player number, chrono punch numbers).
Thanks!
:cool:

[Skoad]

oh ok, so it's going to just be printed on some paper and not like a sewn patch or anything crazy.


gotcha...i'll get crackin just as soon as my brother gets off my computer!

[Kai]

Are you looking for...

Hand drawn artwork, or photomanips?

Black and white/color?

Just a rectangular badge, or more unique shapes?

[MXS]

Regular rectangle, color art (or sepia tone might be cool, going with the Western theme), either hand-drawn or composite. The event name "William Shatner's SPPLAT Attack II" or some variation; EMR, Aug. 31, 2002. Whatever room you can delegate for text.
Maybe a "Wanted" poster type design?
:)

[Tyger]

Ok, realise that my strength as a creative mind is in video editing and writing... Here's a quick stab at it. Actually, I HAVE a warp, and no mag yet, so I don't need an I-feed. Run with the idea if you want, or I can try desperately to clean it up. Hey! I'm making images using the 'brute force' method here! I'm happy it LOOKS kinda right.

**edit add** Looking at it now, I'd like to put a "gleam" in one of the points there. It would almost look better as a cartoonish drawing, rather than a photo manip like that, but like I said, this is a place to start. It's the first gut reaction idea I had when I saw this thread

-Tyger

[Skoad]

well its now 4 am, i figured i'd do a quick one so i didn't stamp tool the background very good, i'll fix it tomorrow.

found a cool pic of shatner in cowboy getup and quickly did a crappy "old film" filter on it. oh yea and i need more fonts.

[Skoad]

it is now 5:40 am....can't sleep

here's another but with all the captains. if thats too hard to tell that its shatner i can get another picture.

was thinkin about putting REWARD down the sides next to the picture but figured it'd clutter it up too much. And was gonna put EMR Paintball, PA but forgot.

edit: after looking at it on this pc it seems i didn't add enough noise to tom's pic, and the colors are a little off...oh well fix it later

[Thordic]

Here you go.

[Star_Base_CGI]

Heres mine....

[Star_Base_CGI]

I put sample on my pass art. So it cant be printed by someone that would want to sneak into the game. If I win please email me for the art that doesnt say sample or just email me for it.

[Tyger]

This is more what I was thining of, but again, I'm not an artist. Something simple, basic, and easy to read. Plus it'll shrink down well.

so this is a badge that will go on players jerseys?

[Muzikman]

My guess is this will be a laminated card that you could put on a lanyard. This seems to be the norm at Paintball events.

[-=Squid=-]

So can I or can I not draw it on a physical medium, and scan it as is?

I think traditional mediums are fine. You would probally want to clean it up digitally, though.

[Jet-Xino]

First Try.

*Edit: Redid background didn't like the color*

[Muzikman]

I like...not sure how it will look on a 2"x3" card..but I like...

[Jet-Xino]

I too had that concern (It may be too complex and unreadable when shrunk down ) hopefully not. Here is the same theme with just Shatner

[doc_Zox]

i gotta find my Adobe "cowboy" fonts...

[Kai]

Quick entry.

It's large.

[MarkM]

Just a little bit of help but there was an episode of Star Trek that was a skit on Gunfight at the OK Corral...must be online versions of that around...no need to Photoshop a cowboys outfit then ;)

[doc_Zox]

off in the direction of non Paramount™ owned images:

[doc_Zox]

slight tweakage:

[Vash02]

Ahhh, i was gonna try but i all of my ideas are not going well. Oh well.

[-=Squid=-]

Well, I am teh suxxor with photoshop, so I couldnt really get my point across...but here you go, coupled with exact size specifications. Mabe I will be blessed somehow? Or mabe somebody will design it for me, according to my description? :(

Edit, now that I look at it, I think its crap. DAMNIT.

[-=Squid=-]

Heres my crap with a bit of pizzaz.

Thats not too bad.

Just open calculator and multiply inchs times 300 pixels....

[Vash02]

So far i have to go with either jet or Kai's. Both are awsome and im not sure how you would decide which is better.

You tell me. You just gave me the answer. Now do it in Calculator.

We arent going to do it for you.

ok...why would I do that? What are you talking about?

[nippinout]

Front

[nippinout]

I don't know about if doing a back is possible, but here's my idea.

Simple spot for extra stuff like sponsors.

[Star_Base_CGI]

I think the back should have artwork and the rules because theres going to be celbrities there. People should know its three strikes and your out.

[Kai]

An updated entry.

[MXS]

The back of the badge has been purchased by one of the event sponsors: Magnum Boots!

The General Scenario Rules of Play (http://www.scenariopaintball.com/rules/) will be in affect. Printing a copy of these and reading them should be part of the pre-game work everyone does to be prepared.
There will be a player orientation to go over the basics and game rules addendums, but it is up to the players to know what the rules are.

There will be a player field map provided for everyone at the event, as well
:cool:

[Mutilus]

Do you like? I do! (size will be repaired on final)

[mcdkid]

is it muller or mueller?

[MXS]

The final decision will be made on Monday! Get your ideas up soon!
:cool:

[edweird]

Well .... ive never been good at wild west themes .... but here is my shot at player badges for each faction.

[Star_Base_CGI]

Its going to be very hard to choose.

[Thordic]

Any news yet?

[Creative Mayhem]

Whoa! Ed those are some sweet badges but i think those would make even better patches for the jersies and such... Hell, I wouldn't mind getting one of each, if they were actually made... :D

If I had to pick one for the overall badges it would have to be Jet-xino's first one... Nice work... :D

CM

[AGD]

Thanks all! As usual you guys were all really impressive with the quantity and quality of submissions. I'm sure we will be doing more!!

AGD

[Mutilus]

Congrats Jet-Xino, I figured you'd win. I was just going to give the prize away at Shatner if I won anyway. I knew yours looked better than mine or anyone elses but I still gave it a shot. Not bad for using MS Paint though was it?

[Star_Base_CGI]

Congradulations!


Are you gettign a warp feed or the inteliframe?

[edweird]

Woot GJ Jet-Xino!

I know any attempt to counter yours was going to be a high order... Grats again bro. I hope ya enjoy your new parts.

[Vash02]

Haha, WOOT!! Well done jet.

[MXS]

Well done!

[Kai]

Congrats B.

(Vash. Help me jump Ben and take the warp.)

[Vash02]

Oh yeah, no problem Kai. You take the warp, and ill "borrow" his e-mag.

[Jet-Xino]

Thanks for the congrats guys. If some one can get a pic up of what the finished Badge looks like when its printed (obviously have to wait untill Spplat Attack 2 starts) that would be cool.

As for Kai and Vash, Haha fat chance chumps!
