heck i'll take a shot at it, it looks like a really cool idea! I do have one question though so @siesan I am new to this idea of monochrome and an idea popped into my head but since you are the creator of the contest and you know about this art form then I do I will ask you if this is allowed. I want to create a short where its both colored like a normal sfm video BUT it will switch between reality and monochrome is that allowed?

my response...
@gaminghappens
glad you asked this. let me address this question

the simple answer is no. The challenge here is to make the entire short in this fashion (2 different distinct colors / designs). Any combo of colors or designs is fine, and it needs to be done on one of these maps. (for reference, you can see my example short called BLUE)

I should also mention, that you can use multiple sets in your short
(for example, half of the short is blue + black, while other half is red + white, etc) and you can use as many combos as possible. Think of this contest as making a short using outlines. whatever you put into those outlines is up to you (solid colors provided on the map, checkerboards you fill it in with in your video editor, etc)

@Siesan ok! I think my idea will still work in this case but I can always try trial an error since I have a little under a month to do this :3

Awesome, deffinetely gonna try to win this!

Bullox woould 40 seconds fit the bill? Or do I have to make it longer?

My response...
@scones
must be 1 to 3 minutes. I will only allow a few seconds off (like, if it was 59 seconds or 3 minutes and 2 seconds, etc)

so no, it won't.

Hey, this is just a shot in the dark, but I think it'd be more rewarding for animators if you'd showcase the winning work on the map page, as well as giving the black bill's hat. It'd work as a promotion for the animator and the map, which would be a plus plus situation for all of us.

(p.s. On youtube, my name is Shius)

Heh, i've got no outstanding animations I was doing, so i'll try my hand at this, whats the deadline?

Hi Shius! Of course, yeah I originally planned to do that as well. I agree, promotion is one of the best gifts a content creator can get

Yo, I made this on your red Monochrome map to see what I could do with the fog settings, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=386700793 is this style valid for the contest?
