the characters do not cause depression and look futuristic👍

Great character! Exactly what we need to represent! Good luck to AnTON!

Это очень хороший и рабочий подход, который, на примере недавнего конкурса блогов прекрасно показал себя. Мы разработали систему оценок и провели судейство по ней.
Тут подробно можно ознакомиться

Если это востребовано, я предлагаю помощь, вместе с @azaticus, в создании небольшой рабочей группы (буквально 3-5 человек), которые в течение прямо одного-двух дней согласуют и создадут аналогичный документ, по которому члены жюри могут провести судейство.

Это прекрасная идея. Но её желательно реализовать до начала создания работ участниками на конкурс. Потому что в этом конкурсе уже всё сделано исходя из свободы творчества. (В том же конкурсе блогов, если бы я лично знал о критериях, я бы взял поправку на них, и быть может кто-то и знал заранее, это второй вопрос).

Но на будущее, это было бы прекрасно. Можно даже конкурс разработки критериев оценивания предложить под разные ситуации. Как вам мысль?


This is a great idea. But it is desirable to implement it before the participants start creating works for the competition. Because in this competition, everything has already been done based on the freedom of creativity. (In the same blog contest, if I personally knew about the criteria, I would have corrected them, and maybe someone knew in advance, this is the second question).

But for the future, that would be fine. You can even offer a competition for developing evaluation criteria for different situations. How do you like the idea?

В данном конкурсе Virtual-Hero цель ведь выбрать действительно качественно прописанного героя, а не красиво упакованного. Сам конкурс подразумевал 2 этапа - идея и уже потом фаза реализации ( где и должна быть реализована упаковка).
Методологию можно вводить прямо сейчас(если ее нет) для повышения эффективности достижения цели.
Конкурс разработки критериев не нужен. Т.к. каждый конкурс уникален и преследует свои определенные цели. Мы можем придумать какой-то каркас, который нужно будет продумать и подстроить под цели своего конкурса каждому кто создает Contest Proposal.

Вообще да. В условиях конкурса главные составляющие - это хорошо продуманная идея, имя и визуально приятный и главное, подходящий образ, который возьмется за основу уже на этапе реализации. Кто-то уже в презентации делает 3d или анимацию, это дополнительная сложность…но как ее оценивать, если в условиях конкурса не прописаны эти критерии? По идее будет справедливо оценивать исключительно по критериям, указанным в условиях.

Выглядит бомбически, есть о чем говорить …

Верно, но ведь жюри так же указали что будут следующие этапы разработки и думаю они будут оценивать со взглядом как на будущий готовый продукт. Красивое описание персонажа не должны быть самым важным критерием, описание всегда можно изменить или дополнить. Главным должна быть его внешнее составляющая, ведь он будет лицом ТОН. А работы в 3д уже дают более менее понятное понимание его визуализации, ведь это следующий этап разработки, который уже имеет более серьезное значение на мой взгляд. Очень много хороших работа и думаю жюри справятся с работой :+1:

Почему нужно оценивать только идею? Ведь многие предложили идею и минимальную реализацию. Постарались над оформлением своей работы. Логично будет оценивать целиком. Тем более в задании указано, эскизы работ.

Я не предлагаю оценивать только идею, а говорю что нужно использовать разные веса.
Естественно работа должна быть цельной. Оформление работы должно просто дополнять общую картину и учитываться в последнюю очередь

Why Giraffe?

Giraffes can live in herds, bur they don’t have any leaders inside these
herds. It looks like decentralization.

Giraffes are tall, they can see far away, which means they know everything
ahead. This refers to the foresight of representatives of the Free TON
community.

Giraffes can move at high speed — and the platform also develops quickly.

Due to stature, can jump through high barriers. Similarly, we always try to overcome obstacles and solve complex problems related to different aspects of Free TON.

Giraffes are free. They can live alone, leave their relatives, adjoin them. Freedom of speech,
ensorship and transactions is one of the most important features of Free TON.

Giraffes can protect themselves and their families, they are strong. They
care about security. Representatives of the community feel the same way, especially when they have to protect the information and TON Crystal.

Giraffe is a real and serious animal. It will become a worthy face of Free TON.

Why not allow vote to decide. Are you trying to induce?

The system is good to test but it should be a part of the contest conditions. Adding anything off-chain after is bad practice, obviously.

3D in the application is of course beautiful, but

  • Do I need a 3D model of Superman to understand that it is him?
  • if they show me pictures of Batman 1989 and 2020, will I be able to understand that this is the same character?
  • Will I be able to recognize hero without describing appearance, but by character and abilities?
  • if I change something in your 3D model, will it cease to be the face of TON?
  • why?

Because the “hero’s face” is not his final appearance, the details of their appearance change from iteration to iteration.
Therefore, first of all, the basis of the character must be laid:

  • its principles and philosophy (with great power comes great responsibility)
  • motivator (death of parents at the hands of criminals)
  • distinctive and unchanging external features (Harry Potter scar)
  • ways to achieve your goals

A pretty wrap is good, but it shouldn’t be the key


3Д в заявке это конечно красиво, но

  • нужна ли мне 3д модель супермена, чтобы понять что это именно он?
  • если мне покажут фотографии бэтмена 1989 и 2020 смогу ли я понять что это один и тот же персонаж?
  • смогу ли без описания внешности, но по характеру и способностям распознать?
  • если я поменяю что-то в вашей 3д модели это уже перестанет быть лицом TON?
  • почему?

Потому что “лицо героя” это не его конечный вид, Детали их внешнего вида изменяется от итерации к итерации.
Поэтому в первую очередь должен быть заложен базис персонажа:

  • его принципы и философия (с большой силой приходит большая ответственность)
  • мотиватор (смерть родителей от рук преступников)
  • отличительные и неизменные внешние черты (шрам Гарри Поттера)
  • способы достижения своих целей

Красивая обёртка это хорошо, но она не должна быть ключевым фактором.

These should be the criteria for selecting the best:

1 Choose your superhero’s powers. Since super heroes are generally identified by their powers, it makes perfect sense to think of the powers first and then shape the character to fit them. A huge number of superpowers have already been claimed by other characters, so try to come up with something unique.

Consider giving the hero multiple powers, like flight and super strength. A mix of powers might help differentiate your new hero from other ones that already exist.

Some superheroes don’t have supernatural powers and instead rely on gadgets and training, like Batman and Black Widow. Their dedication commands respect, but also makes them more vulnerable—and possibly more interesting.
2 Give your superhero a tragic flaw or weakness. A tragic or “fatal” flaw is essentially a character trait or quality that your hero grapples with on a regular basis. An invulnerable hero can get old fast. By giving him or her a fatal weakness, you make battles more interesting and make fans more invested in the character. For example, Superman’s weakness is kryptonite, while Batman’s tragic flaw is his obsession with seeking justice after seeing his parents murdered. Flaws or weaknesses can be emotional, psychological, or physical.

3 Flesh out your character’s personalities. Your super hero might have two separate identities: his everyday identity, and his hero identity. These two lives might entail separate personalities and traits. Work out what traits your hero possess in each form.
4 Consider diving your superhero an alter ego, (i.e. Superman and Clark Kent). This can add dimension and make your character more interesting to readers.

Avoid copying other existing characters. It’s doubtful you’ll be able to find traits or powers that haven’t already been taken by someone somewhere, so just be sure to tweak it enough that you don’t directly rip off another character.

For example, if you want to give your hero Superman’s powers, give him a different name and a different backstory. That way, your hero is different and original.

Try making your hero different from other superheroes. If you’re creating your own superhero, you are probably pretty familiar with the standard traits and qualities of popular superheroes. Rather than making yours just like the ones that already exist, break the mold and try to be original. Give your hero a unique combination of powers or traits.

You can be original in all aspects of creating your superhero. Maybe their power puts them at a disadvantage, or maybe they are too scared to use their powers.

Use popular superhero characters as reference points. When you think of a traditional hero, what comes to mind? How can you make your hero different from these tropes?
5 Building Your Superhero’s Background.
Come up with a backstory for your hero. In the superhero world, backstories are often called origin stories. They offer insight into the life your hero had before he really became a hero, and even how he became one. This story will give us a look into the more “human” side of your hero, and make him a more sympathetic and relatable character.

Many superheroes have experienced tragedies that inspired and motivated them to enforce and serve justice. For example, Bruce Wayne wants to serve justice because he saw his parents murdered.

Conflict and inner-turmoil can help shape the character and their story. When coming up with their backstory, think about conflicts or problems they may have faced that shaped them into the hero they are now.

6 Think about how the superhero’s powers evolved. Once you’ve determined your hero’s backstory, you know whether or not he was born with the powers he has, or if he came into them later in life. Deciding how he discovered or came into his powers is an important part of his story and who he is.
Consider some questions: what was their initial reaction to their abilities? Are they necessary for survival? How often do they use their powers, and are they proud or ashamed of them?

Make the superpowers a journey in and of themselves. A character who has a static relationship to

their own abilities won’t generate a lot of interest. Some trial and error, or even some internal conflict with how to use the powers are both good options.

7 Determine the community’s relationship to the character. Some superheroes are disliked or feared by the communities they exist within. Batman and Spider-Man, for example, were both seen as menaces initially, before the community came to see them as helpful. Decide what kind of relationship you want your hero to have with his community.

Anti-heroes, like Deadpool, are loved by many audiences, even if they are disliked or feared in their comics or movies. This approach could be a fun experiment in storytelling and character evolution.

8 Create rivals or enemies for your hero. Any good superhero needs a villain or two to fight against. Flesh out the enemies the same way you did the superhero. However, don’t answer too many questions about the villains right off the bat. Taking time to reveal their backstories, true natures, and motivations will make them more engaging and mysterious.

The villain’s backstory could tie in with the superhero’s, even if the hero doesn’t know it. They can find out about the connection as their story unfolds. This can add new layers to the story and the characters.

People love a good villain and are interested in their backstory, whether it’s to place blame or to understand their motivations. Great examples include the Joker and Loki.

When creating your villain, consider making him the opposite of your hero. For example, his superpower could conflict with your hero’s power. This will give the two a reason to be at odds.
9 Choose a gender and body type for your superhero. Superheroes come in all shapes, sizes, and genders. Some are not even human at all. Decide on the physical traits of your superhero. The superpowers you have chosen might even help you determine the character’s physicality.

Consider some questions: is your character a tank? Would a lithe and lanky build be more appropriate? Is the power gender-specific?
10 Design a costume for your superhero. Make sure the colors, style, and accessories are all appropriate to both the character’s powers and personality. Consider the central weapons your hero might rely on, and if your hero might have a signature weapon they created and use.

Think about what certain colors often imply. For example, white can imply innocence, while black might be more associated with darkness or evil.
11 Give your superhero a trademark. A symbol or logo, for example, makes superheroes more memorable and helps make their costumes complete. Think of the big “S” on Superman’s chest, and the skull painted on the Punisher’s shirt. A catchphrase might also be useful, but remember to make it catchy, not long or cheesy.

If it’s appropriate for the character’s power, consider giving them a trademark pose, weapon, vehicle, or other tool.
12 Name your superhero. The name of your superhero will essentially be the “hook” for getting people interested. Of course, it’s the stories and character traits that make people love the superheroes, but it’s their names that are memorable and make the reader interested in the first place.

Try different naming techniques. There’s the noun + noun technique, in which you use two nouns and make a compound word, like Spider-Man. Or, you can try the adjective + noun technique, like in Superman and Black

A name can have something to do with the hero’s powers, their personality, or who they are.

13 Decide if you want to give your hero a sidekick. Also, you might consider making your hero part of a team. Think of well-known teams and pairings like the X-Men, Justice League, and Avengers. They often come together as a team, but also have separate stories of their own.

Develop the sidekick/team the same way that you’ve developed the superhero thus far, then create a backstory as to how they met or came together.

Consider these questions: is the sidekick useful or do they make lots of mistakes? Were they once enemies? Were they scarred by the same event?

Cool job! But this contest had to be held with a professional jury, for example in W&D SG. I don’t want to upset you but your first mark in the competition is 1((

Nice job! Thank you!
