I understand where you guys are coming from. Looking at the posts you’ve made on the previous contests you guys definitely think outside the box and I can assume it takes a lot of brainstorming to think about what you want to submit and how to make that effect in the game.
I used to participate in screenshot contests back in the halo 3 days for recon armor, and I often feel the same way and was demotivated every week I didn’t get featured. I submitted every week for all 3 years I played the game and never got mentioned, so I understand the feeling of being demotivated. But I don’t want you guys to give up hope if you genuinely enjoy thinking of and making new creative screenshots to work on! I told my friends I was glad I found this contest because it’s something like a fun minigame while playing the game I enjoy the most, trying to come up with something new every week to fit the theme! Even though i was lucky this week with the meg shot, I still want to enter in the future and think of new ideas to show off!
Truthfully, this Meg shot is something I am proud of, but it was genuinely dumb luck. I had a vision of posing the skeletons in a tavern to make it look like we were having a grog with them, however we tried to make that screenshot happen for 4 hours and I never managed to fully capture the image I had in my mind. I’m so thankful for my friends for sacrificing their time on community weekend to help stage a screenshot.
After we left the outpost we ran into the Meg and I had to beg my friends to just keep the ship afloat while we tried to get one more Hail Mary of a picture. We almost sank a handful of times trying to get this picture, it took 3 tries to get everything in the frame. But when we got this one, it felt like sea of thieves to me, and captured the adventure that the skull of siren song voyage can produce. That’s how I interpreted the theme personally.
It was pure luck this unfolded this way but I’m proud of the picture we successfully captured! if you two enjoy thinking of new pictures for the themes then I hope you guys continue submitting and pushing your creativity! I’d love to continue seeing what you guys can come up with and hopefully you snag yourself the obsidians, happy holidays friends!
