Black Six Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hey guys, I'd just like to point out that there's over 40 years' worth of videogames out there, and the vast majority of them have nothing to do with LEGO. The theme of this contest is to make a videogame character, and while technically a character from a LEGO game fits that theme, there's so much more out there. Use LEGO to build something that's not LEGO! 8 Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve the Squid Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Yeah guys, I know that I am almost definitely not going to vote for any entries based off a lego videogame. Be creative. One final question: Since the photo quality is terrible (part of the reason I hadn't posted it), would it be permissible for me to touch up the quality the photos, provided that I also upload the originals? Or should I just leave them as is and play it safe? At the moment I cannot take more photos of the MOC.I doesn't say you can't touch up the photos. "Pictures in which the appearance of the MOC has been edited in Photoshop or other editing software are also prohibited." Basically you're not allowed to edit the photo so that the moc is shown to be something different than it is. For example, if I changed my picture to make parts purple when they shouldn't be, or photoshopping in a sword. Judges: I feel like there's a lot of questions that get asked every time in the BBCCs. I think the rules should be updated a bit accordingly.... Edited March 8, 2014 by Steve the Squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tufi Piyufi Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 My sister made a little bug-thing from Bionicle Heroes, whose purpose was solely to get killed to give the player points. Does that count?Is chima online and lego universe video games? Thanks Yes to all above, but please see Black Six's post. One final question: Since the photo quality is terrible (part of the reason I hadn't posted it), would it be permissible for me to touch up the quality the photos, provided that I also upload the originals? Or should I just leave them as is and play it safe? At the moment I cannot take more photos of the MOC.If you're enhancing the quality, that's fine. Just don't throw the Turbo Lens Flare filter on your pictures. Does the rule specifying that the entry may not have been published prior to the start of the contest apply to publishing on BZP only, or does it include publishing on image hosting sites such as Flickr as welll? ~B~As always, the rule applies to pictures posted on bzpower.com itself.

Sparkytron Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) So multiple characters are allowed? Because I was thinking about making the final battle from a Final Fantasy game. So that would be the Boss and 3 to 4 characters.

Click Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm almost done with my entry, but I was wondering if I could use a brick-built base for my MOC that isn't a part of it.

Toa Kayn Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Wow, I'm trying my luck at building a famous nintendo character that I will not name and I'm still working on the legs.

Chro Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 No, it won't. But you only need to post one image, not an entire page, so I'd just suggest deeplinking your entry picture on its own so that you can begin garnering support for voting now. save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to customize the arms, they would be regular red, rather than dark red, because I don't have them in that color.

Click Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) So what about my question about a brick-built base? Oh, and also, do the "Technic bricks" (bricks that have Technic holes) count as Technic? If I have to build my base within the 75% Technic rule, that may make a big difference in how I do it.

Steve the Squid Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Can we use:- Lego tape (from boxed sets)- Cut lego stickers or sticker pads- Cut canister stickers (the sticker on the front/back of HF canisters) Lego tape is widely regarded as purist but I'm lazy. Enough people call the second one purist, dunno about the last one, I figure with what I'm doing, it's the same as a sticker pad, and 'cheaper'.
