***WINNERS ARE BEING CHOSEN***
ATTENTION, it may take us a few more days than anticipated because there's been some power outage. But don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as possible!!


Welcome to the first contest I am hosting along with my fellow Stock and Resources CV partner, Cassy-Blue! The good news is: Everyone who has a digital camera (phone) and a computer can take part! You don't require to have any texture making skillset whatsoever. It's supposed to be fun and it's all about experimenting and trying something new :) Oh, and: no theme. We would like to see you go wild with your imagination. But remember, it's a resource so usability is important, too.

The Challenge

We challenge you to create one multifaceted texture resource that consists of at least 2 photo components.

To digitally assemble the texture from your own photo material, you can use any image editing software available to you. Don't worry, there is fantastic free software out there that I'm gonna link to below. A scanned image counts as a photo, too, so you're free to scan in material as well.



Rules

  • The texture must be at least 1000px x 1000px in size.
  • All stock submitted must be made from your own photo material only
  • All stock submitted cannot be premium content or an offsite download

I have a question: I uploaded my entry not as high resoluted as I wanted it to be due to my bad internet-connection at the moment. It still fits the contest requests though. Would it be okay if I later changed the file to the higher-res-image or would that be considered cheating?
