Only you know your characters best angles. -Meet with me and *I* will take a picture of *your* character with your preference of 4K, shaders, editing, etc. Note - Using this, or the method below, you cannot choose a face expression for your character. -Simply show up on **Saturday Sept. 26** to have your picture taken. You must submit your screenshot to me (Fanda) if you choose to submit a screenshot. **Screenshot Submission Guidlines** -Upload to imgur or any other file sharing service. Send me the link. -No mods -GShade is allowed but don't overdo it. Don't make the background as blurry as vaseline, or enough bloom to make your charcaters skin snow white. -No editing in post, other than simple edits including and limited to, MINOR edits to brightness, contrast, saturation, and glow. -I reserve the right to veto any screenshot for breaking the above guidlines. **Prizes** Prizes will vary based on the amount of people who register, and add their registration money to the prize pool. If the prizes are deemed insufficient, I will add more money to the prize pool (Fanda). 1st. Place - TBD (Meseta) 2nd. Place - TBD (Meseta) 3rd. Place - TBD (Meseta) **Voting** Ideally I would like to do Preferential Voting to decide the winners. However, this will not be likely since I can't find a website that allows this. We'll just do normal voting via google forms or strawpoll if I can't find one. Voting will take place on **Saturday, Sept. 26**. The exact time is TBD. *Should voting be opened to the thread?* Please decide on this here - https://www.strawpoll.me/20958872 **Guide to making a good screenshot** I will make a complete guide in video format. **Additional details** >Don't you think it's unfair, how some people will have higher quality screenshots than those who have theirs taken when they show up? In my opinion, I think people should have the option to make their own screenshots of their own character. Just having their picture taken, while more fair, leaves much to be desired. There is more to a fashion contest than just the fashion.
