Holozing Creature Background Contest!

avatar
(Edited)

Hello future healers!

Welcome to the second official Holozing contest!
In the previous contest, we asked you, the community, to help us name the starter creatures, and the community delivered! Almost 50 unique entries were made on the contest post, not counting the many amazing suggestions on our discord channel. Holozing is a community-funded project, but we also want the project to be driven by and fully involve the community in as many aspects of the game as possible.

This contest is another opportunity for us to have you play an even more integral part in the project, and possibly join the HOLOZING team. We invite you to take part in the starter background contest!

CONTEST THEME

STARTER CREATURE BACKGROUND

The 4 starter creatures need a background. At the moment, they are simply lingering in the void, without an environment or background. In this contest, we would like you to create a background with any one of the starter creature in the centre, that not only fits the type of the starter creature but would also be a perfect backdrop for the starter creature on their card. The 4 types of creatures that are currently released are electric rabbit, grass raccoon, fire wolf, and water whale in the correct order in the examples below.

Think of what kind of environment the starter creature would look best in. Think of how you could create an environment that would also be a perfect backdrop for the starter creature in its card.



THE STARTER CREATURES

The transparent png creatures can be found in this google drive link and also in the #resources channel in our Discord server.

RULES:

  • Create a background for 1 starter creature with the starter in the centre of the image.
  • The image should be in portrait mode.
  • Background/environment should correspond to the type of creature you have selected.
  • Use your imagination and skills. NO AI. NO STOCK IMAGES. NO COPYRIGHTED CONTENT.
  • Make a post in the HOLOZING community showing your creative process. Show the final background with the starter creature in the centre and also without it.
  • Enter your submissions before the payout of this post.
  • One submission per person.


REWARDS:

There will be 3 winners selected. We will be actively looking through all the valid entries and curating them based on effort and quality.

The top 3 entries will receive:

  • Rewards generated from this post.
  • There is a chance HOLOZING could purchase your winning entry at a reasonable price in HIVE and possibly hire you for the other starters and future creatures if it is really impressive.
  • 1000 POSH reward pool- 500 POSH for the 1st, 300 for the 2nd, and 200 for the 3rd place winner.
  • 10000 ZING reward pool- 5000 for the 1st, 3000 for the 2nd, and 2000 for the 3rd place.


Holding POSH and staking ZING will generate more ZING for you through the claimdrop on holozing.com!
@poshtoken is sponsoring the ZING rewards so these aren't coming from the inflation pool.


We are very excited to see your entries and all the creative imagination you have. We are expecting excellent entries and looking forward to having more opportunities to get the community involved as the project grows.

Best of luck!


Feel free to ask in the comment section if there's anything you're unsure of!

electric rabbit, grass raccoon, fire wolf, and water whale

So how these properties empower or qualify them ? e.g. does the rabbit has some special power that can be related to electric ? Similar way for others.

See... Instead of paying a professional.

Good gamble. Time will tell if it's going to pay off or be a huge flop. I'm guessing it's not going to be as successful as you hope.

Good luck. It's a savage market out there.

We tried hiring professionals, but compared to the other artworks where we got lucky to find great ones, those for backgrounds turned out to use AI and stock images to cheat their way to a quick buck. So we're seeing if we can find someone on Hive now.

background images for the cards aren't really that crucial or "game-breaking", it'll just be a nice-have eventually when we move some focus to the 2d version and physical cards.

It is a great opportunity for the artists around the Hive community and also an amazing engagement activity to bring the outsiders into the Holozing journey. Though I am not good at such a job I wish I could. I wish everyone good luck with your entry, just keep up the good work.
Thanks for arranging such a creative competition.

You can tell it was most likely an accident since they upvoted you first, you retaliating this way however is quite bad mannered and disgusting.

Yeah, I understand, a mistake happens, I didn't want the connection to be trouble and so that happens, I really didn't realize that it would create such incidents as disturbance to all of you. I am really sorry and beg your apologies. I must be more careful as man learns from his mistakes and it takes time to understand the blockchain and its irreversible actions and their impacts.

Honestly you have nothing to worry about, accidents happen, most people would have ignored it, no rewards were even removed with the downvote. The action of retaliation is way more concerning than an odd downvote here and there.

The mistake is that @ecency shows unvotes as downvotes after the initial vote is a downvote by the looks of it, hiveblocks seems to confirm they were unvotes and only one downvote occurred.

I have no interest in continuing this discussion as you clearly seem unstable. Good luck.

You're a complete hypocrite. This entire situation is your little buddy's fault.

You at least could be man enough to make things right and not run off like you're guilty.

Well you're completely hypocritical about this and your whitewashing the situation as well as insulting me.

You're smart enough to know exactly what I'm saying.

However I was being honest and having a decent conversation then somebody up votes me and then down votes that to take away the reward.

Not once but twice...

I retaliate with a down vote.

For which you blame me and then insult me.

How is that respectful at all?

Here I am being perfectly calm and reasonable and all of a sudden your buddy decides to shoot himself twice in the foot. And of course yeah I shot to and oops he caught one. It's a flesh wound.

So what's up. Can you be polite and respectful? Or is this just what happens around you?

That is awesome that you are tapping into the community for these things. Not only will you have a lot to choose from, but it will be cool for players to see their work in the game they play. Are you going to do character names/design offers similar to SPL in the future? Seeing the cards that are attributed to the OG and big contributor players are amazing.

Oh my gosh this will be great. I already wanted to see the entry of so many artists, because my art is different I don't draw, but I will love to enjoy the work of others. I will continue creating from my knowledge and what I handle with love and especially for you. May the successes continue @holozing @acidyo ✨

Contest for backgrounds is great idea. Since cards backgrounds are not vital part of the gameplay we can all jump in and create something interesting, even if we are not professional designers. In the same time it's a good opportunity to connect more with each other and who knows, maybe we see some new talents step forward. Good luck to all.
