               Actually, doing that would be very easy using Bioware's parrot placeable from POTSC. Even a non-modeler like me could do it. That would look fine when the person is standing still or walking, but it would probably look quite silly during certain combat animations.

Maybe for you, but not for the many peoples around. I think this would be awesome, I would like to learn this, I have some idea, but I woul rather see exact steps than trying and learning by my mistakes.

               Besides, the standard of quality in the last challenge, even from relative newcomers to custom content, has been above most of what Bioware put out for PotSC.

               The first post said all submissions must be original work (no conversion or modifications), so I think that rules out any kind of emphasis on prefabs, which by definition are recombinations of existing assets. I guess it wouldn't hurt anything, but it's not really the same thing.

               I prefer new content over modifications of existing work. It doesn't really add much to the community art portfolio, so to speak, and doesn't push people to get better.

               OK, I got a problem with this vote. The winning categories both involve clothing. Making clothes for characters is a pain in the butt, which is why almost no one makes any. Lisa, Ragz, and CODI were the only people to really make new clothing (i.e. not just reskin some old ones).



Being that this is a fledgling enterprise, I highly suggest you don't include categories that scare of new modelers.

Well there's still a day left. Although I personally would go for the pirate content rather than ignoring the vote - there's far more to being a pirate than just putting on a silly costume you know, and a lot more scope for other types of content.

               I agree that clothes are a pain. But in fact it's a pain if you want to try a whole set, a full body ensemble. But you can do also just a pair of shoes, or gloves, or a neck piece, a belt, bracers.... actually there is a lot of cool stuff to do without going in the alienist robe direction. A single piece is not hard to do. I think one of the challenge is also to be creative in a way that fits your own skill. It hasn't to be a masterpiece.

But still the whole pheno/race thingy is quite the chore...



Anyways, I'd rather bypass the vote and have submissions rather than sticking to the vote and no one making stuff. So, participant, express yourselves. It's supposed to be fun before anything else.

               If the winning theme is pirates and let people submit anything pirate related, then I'd be happy with that. I'll still try my hand at a pirate clothes set, however.

               I didn't vote for pirate stuff, but I'd be happy to make pirate stuff.  Probably clothes.  :-)

               Vote is closed for September, Winning theme is "Bucaneers/Pirates custom content" with 7 votes (against 6 for commoners clothes)! Everyone walk the plank! =)



I'll do a separate September CC thread asap! Thanks everyone =)

               Cool.



I like to make a suggestion that next month (or the next afterwards as October really should be Halloween no matter what), that there be 2 votes. One that ends on the 21rst, and the other that ends at the last day of the month.



The first vote is just like the one you had, but the second is between the top two winners of the first vote. This will allow those that voted for a non-winning category to help decide the final vote.



This will allow us to get all the categories in people suggested, but then focus it down to the two most favored and let everyone pick the best.

               I agree with Morikahn on the October entry - Halloween.



That should really spruce it up.



Cauldrons, pumpkins, gravestones, dead trees, rotting logs, candles, dark magic, coffins, spider webs, creepy hanging pictures that are not perfectly centered, blood stains, bloody altars, torture equipment that look like torture equipment - hanging chains with barbed hooks, hanging torn body ripped at the waist with hanging spine and dripping insides.



FP!

               Do we really need more halloween stuff?  There's plenty of it in Project Q already.

And it isn't necessarily something that a ton of people would always use, all the time.  While I think the "commoner clothing" category is pretty boring (just my opinion, no offense to the suggester/voters), at least it's something that people will definitely use if it wins.
