also, while many of the images are broken because of discord hosting, you yourself can look through the contest thread. there are just not that many entries that would merit disqualification unless they were equating less skilled artists with putting in less effort

my brother they didnt reject compensation for being a beginner artist its because its something that isnt part of the onsite earth theme are you dumb

(frozen comment) Re: Fest Skin Submission Decline

i'm not linking their skin because i don't want to expose them. at least 10 people who are also artists strongly disagreed with it somehow not being earth themed. it just didn't match august and mv's personal aesthetics, so they decided that meant it wasnt earthy enough.

DA, but without seeing the skin I have to assume 888 and mv were right and the skin wouldn't be immediately recognizable as themed for the earth flight. Shrug.

This post has the same energy as caseoh saying “I have 6 to 8 bodybuilders with me”

nayrt

I get that but without seeing the skin then it's impossible to judge whether or not they were right to reject it. Besides your phrasing made it sound like they scammed a bunch of people but it looks like the rejected entries still got some compensation which seems fair to me.

Then, without real evidence, I side with the contest runners. You have an opportunity. If there's that many alsely rejected pick a bunch and you're not deanonning anyone.

"At least 10 people who are also artists strongly disagreed" anon you sound like an uncredible infomercial right now, do you realize that?

Most of what I see in the thread of folks who did not receive the prize were either folks who either messed up the submission process somehow (forgot to ping both runners, forgot to link their contest entry from the contest thread, forgot to resize or clip lines and shadows, just slapped a photograph onto a dragon) OR were WILDLY off topic with their entry that it was difficult to tell if it actually did fit the theme or not, and even then the ones not specifically "Earth Flight Rising" themed should have still gotten a reduced participation prize. I know I saw a few in the actual official contest thread that were pretty off, I do distinctly remember a "planet earth" rainbow (as in the IRL planet, which isn't really flight rising themed) entry. Many users had entered the contest JUST for the money with very little regards to the fest itself and what that means.

So... either your friend made a mistake in the entry process (very possible, lots of people did) or they were really off with regards to their entry theme.

can we at least see what the entry was

i'm not linking their skin because i don't want to expose them. you can look through the thread for the many entries based on opalized fossils and decide if any don't seem earthy enough to you, though.

NAYRT

here's all the skins that mention 'opal' in the 2023 RBC thread, though it's probably the first link since they specifically mention opalization

I could believe it's the one on page 21 with how it's just rainbow colours on a wildclaw wing, but the sandsurge or the spiral are looking the most likely since they are directly opalization/fossilized based in the descriptions. Again though... in the announcement, they said they judge the images without name or backstory context the way that the staff does.

this one from page 21 also mentions opal

(frozen comment) Re: Fest Skin Submission Decline

Oh there’s an m ridgeback entry on page 15 that doesn’t mention opal anything BUT features prehistoric marine critters (like ammonites) that appear… alive with like kelp n stuff, potentially underwater, not fossilized stone as might have been intended. This looks like a water entry, not earth.

Looks like the skin in question might be this one, which is just patches of green and brown on a dragon.

Regardless of whether Mv and 888 were justified in rejecting it or not, they still gave compensation? Why would you try to spin it like that

(frozen comment) Re: Fest Skin Submission Decline

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah I would not immediately read this as Earth Flight themed

It might be this one too. The image linked in the CR is of a fossilized ammonite, and this one is said to he based off a fossilized ammonite. This one is more earth themed, I suppose, but at first glance I'd assume it's for Thundercrack. I'm no expert though

That spiral Opaliidae is gorgeous, but it looks like metal armor to me, not opal. Maybe because it's so dark.

(frozen comment) Re: Fest Skin Submission Decline

You proved that they politely dqed and paid out a smaller prize for unsuitable entries. Without a picture, I have to believe them.

Innocent until proven guilty, and you ain't proved jack shit.

+1
This is the part that gets me. Like... they disqualified the entry for not being compliant with canon Flight Rising Earth themes, but they still provided a prize for participating. That's above what they needed to do.
