there all crazy good man. but the one that is a little bland, the grey one with pink it the middle, you should swap of a "wildcard" type of thing. like something insane. maybe make an acual picure on it, or a huge mural of something detailed. jut my 2 cents

on the grey and pink ski in the middle everything on the skis are opposite except for the little pink symbol in the middle. you might wanna switch those around too. That way they can be skied either way (assuming they're symmetrical).

I mean unless you did that on purpose

as for the contest, its a voting system and the entries will be posted on the faction website, with the winner being announced March 1st.

Keep the ideas coming!

all sick as hell my only qualms( i think thats the word?) are the first one look similar to a few years ago args.
and seconds are similar(in color choices) to the old ar6's.


thats all IMO, and doesnt take away from the fact that they are all super dope. i hope you win it.

So my computer crashed while saving the last one...not stoked on that. I'm gonna try to re-do the lost work but I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it in time. Anyways, here's the base design:

isnt the theme of the skis for the contest meant to be 'urban jungle'??

it doesnt seem super jungley to me?? but they look good overall, so props on that.

thanks, and ya it is but this is what it said on the website: "The theme for the skis is “urban jungle”. This can be interpreted either literally or philosophically..." so I just interpreted it philosophically

All my designs in some way relate to the "urban" part of the theme if not the "jungle" part.

Thank you so much for the support NS, it means a lot to have you guys backing me.
and good luck to everyone else who entered!

I was actually thinking the grey one could focus on the texture, for example you know how some snowboard graphics combine matt paint and glossy paint? Well I though maybe the lighter areas could be matt and the background glossy. I agree though, now that I look back on it its a bit bland compared to the other ones, but that leaves more for stickering!

I used Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator for all of these.

Thanks for the comments guys, I've sent them off to them now, and they should be up on the website soon.


In the meanwhile, heres one dedicated to NS, I thought I'd have a bit of fun with this one :)

Hey guys, so I managed to do one last one, and this one's dedicated to all of you who convinced me with all the +vibes I got off of this thread. I can't thank you guys enough for all the comments, you have no idea how much it helps.

With that, I present my final design, The Ganja Queen:
