See this entry for information if you dunno what this is about.



"Okay, so what now?"

Not to worry! I have this all planned out! ... I think.

Here we are. The contest. Okay. So.


"What do we do now?"

Now you submit your entries for the BZPower Member's T-Shirt. In this entry, you can submit designs, patterns, or ideas you feel can/should be implemented. You should also have a short paragraph explaining why your design is the bomb and what is in it. Here, like this.

_____________________ ****

Name: Put your username here.
pururimagehere.jpg
Description: Tell me what is special about your design and why it should be chosen.

_____________________ ****

"What medium can the designs be in?"

Anything you have! Scanned drawing or sketch, Photoshop manipulation, MSPaint collage, anything! We just wanna see what you got; we don't care how it looks or how it was made.


"I can't do art worth a flying carp. What can I do?"

Ask around. Ask friends online or off and see if you can find someone who can make your design for you, then submit it.

Or you could just try your best! : D


"When is the contest over?"

Tentatively, the 10th of April. You have some time to work on it, but remember, you still gotta work! ;D

So get started!


Update: The contest is now closed for entries. I'll figure out what to do with these... submissions shortly. xP



List of Entrants:

Name: Cap'n K
Design: (Entry) (Gallery with variations)
Description: It's got Hapori Tohu and the three virtues. And perhaps a witty phrase underneath. Nothing fancy, but eyecatching and simple. The "witty phrase" examples aren't really funny, I just figured I'd throw a few in to show the gist of it.

Name: Cherixon
Entry: HERE!
Description: Well, it has Hapori Tohu, and I overall like the simpleness of the design. However, I will be making it in different colors and such, and that would just be the front. I'll make the back of the Tshirt soon.

Name: Robo
Design: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/toamon2/thi...tshirtfront.jpg
Front
http://www.majhost.com/gallery/toamon2/things/tshirtback.jpg
Back
Description: It proclaims our pride in big boastful letters, and its got Master Tohu on the backand, and its easy to make B)

Name: Chibinuva
Designs: here here here and here.
Description: Different shirts each with a hand-drawn mask and complementing base (the masks are in their usual colors) along with the black, smaller, italic text above labeling the mask, and bold, larger, colored text saying "Official BZPower Member." I went with complementing colors and the traditional kanohi of old. Also, the background color for each design represents the color of the shirt. I only made four because I'm not a very good artist and the other two masks (the kakama and the kaukau) are hard to draw. If someone else wants to draw them that would be great. For those the kakama would be brown with a purple background (I don't know what shade) along with blue-colored text. The kaukau would be blue with a yellow background and brown text. Good luck to those entering!

Name: Dirty Burrito
Design: Front, Back
Description: Thinking of BIONICLE, the very biggest, most iconic, most easily recognizable and importantly, coolest character that springs to mind is Tahu. So I took an old image of him from the animations for nostalgiac reasons, and because it is easy to look at and see Tahu in it. On the back, I put where the website is and what it is. I'm thinking the t-shirt can be blackish/redish to fit the image.

Name: MatoroIgnika
Entry: Design
Description: Well, Its unique in the fact I used gradients on pretty much all the text, and four different type fonts. That coupled with the fact its not symmetrical makes it out of the ordinary. >:D . And to finish it off Its pretty much simple and to the point.

Name: Element Lord of Light
Entry: Front Back
Description: Very simple. A picture of Tohu on the front with the words BZPower. Nice and simple. Your username goes on the back. Just as simple. I used a Dark blue background because that's the color I always thought a BZP shirt should be.

Name: Sisen
Put Ur Design Here: Link
Description: It’s cheesy, distasteful, and awesome. What better way for BZP members to show some class than were a necktie t-shirt sporting a Hapori Tohu pattern? It is the bomb. The three Tohu heads is symbolic as they represent B Z P and Unity, Duty, Destiny. Now you’re probably wondering, how will people know what the shirt is about without any fancy text saying what it is about? That’s the best part. When people see oodles of us members wearing the same shirt they are bound to ask what it is, and we get to tell them.

Name: Protosteel
Design:Link
Description: It's got the shiny "BZPower" text from the front page, a nice Hapori Tohu design (original thanks to Shine, I gave it some shades of gray and made minor alterations), has the BZP "catchphrase," and then on the back there's a UDD symbol. What more could you want!?

Name: Chunky! (currently Max Power)
Design: Entry | Gallery (with variations and back)
Description: I dunno. Just felt like making this. As you can see this magnificent t-shirt is pimp'd out with BZPower's logo, and Toa Mata masks... on a 45º angle. That's right. A 45º angle. Also, if needed, I can provide a high-res pic or the Adobe Illustrator file.

Name: Nukaya the Awesome
Entry: Design Also on a shirt
Description: Oh, where to begin. I half-blame Sisen for this, but I went along with it anyway. :P Originally, it was going to be Hapori Tohu made up of a bunch of words, but timewise, it just wasn't happening, so this was the final product.

Basically, we compiled this ginormous list of all these words that were related to BZPower. Then we were all "oh hey, we need more words. Hmm....", so we added all off the current staff (as of right this minute according to that one topic and maybe a few people who used to be admins) names, because the staff are a huge part of keeping the site running smoothly. Added a dash of Hapori Tohu to it, and voilà. The design is a big mash-up of all this wacky stuff related to BZPower, but we're more or less like that: this big, totally awesome community of fans spread around the globe who are united by a common interest and a lot of random other stuff. It's pretty darn cool.

(it's past midnight. What I just wrote will probably make no sense to me in the morning....)

Awesome idea btw. And I love those banners :3

Having your design worn on a shirt used by all BZPers at this year's Lego conventions?

 

~EW~

Good enough :)

 

Are there any restrictions on the base colour of the shirt, and where on the shirt designs can be printed? (Front, back, sleeves)

Link to comment

Not that I know of. We'll be basing the shirt colour on how the design would look. All depends on the design. As for where at, no, no restrictions, though it would be to our discretion.

Would you be able to do front and back designs for sure though? T-shirts are always better with punch-lines on the back. :)

I dunno; like I said, it depends on the designs. Feel free to submit anything you'd like; it it works and we like it, we may use it.

This one is awesome, and best of all it could easily be printed. :)

I gotta say though, I'm really diggin' Cap'n K's. I figured you guys could probably use some entries tho.

Just because they win it means these are automatically becoming standard because you said so?

Waffles, what do you mean by that? Standard for....what? Shirts? Designs?

Is there a limit to how many designs we can enter?

 

Zippy: TOL'ning

None mentioned, none implied.

 

~EW~

 

Sweet. I have a couple ideas already.

 

Also, I live in the great land of Oz, so would I be able to mail-order shirts? I obviously can't just stroll over and pick one up.

From the first entry about the BZP T-shirt project:

"I don't have any plans to go to any of those conventions. How can I still get a shirt?"

 

Depending on your location and your desire to get a shirt, we may (or may not! haha!) be able to ship a shirt to you. =3

So....I guess....yes?

Ummmmm... What Nukaya said.

 

If you're trying to ask if what I decide to use suddenly becomes the "standard" of BZPower shirts, well, yes and no. Do note that I do not have any endorsement of BZPower, Lego, or its affiliates, and this is strictly a member-run project (Nukaya helped found this back when she was a wee diddle member, and currently is more of a consultant than a team member, so yeah, it is member-run.) As such, it is unofficial, and the "standard" that would come from the choice I make is simply for kicks.

 

Basically, it's a standard of my shirts, not of BZPower shirts. If you had something else in mind when you asked the above question, however, please clarify.

 

Sweet. I have a couple ideas already.

Cool. I look forward to seeing them! =D

 

Oz, maybe. Mordor, however, I would have a problem with.

Cap'n K's is cool, I like the quote idea. :3

:kaukau:I'd just like to say that I like the first design on the list, since I was debating whether I would want it to be about Hapori Tohu or to have a Three Virtues symbol, but this one manages to pull off both.

 

Your Honor,

Emperor Kraggh

I was considering entering, but I like Cap'n K's too much.

 

Agreed. I entered mine, but the Captain's entry is win.
