  Designs will be evaluated by an internal panel at KRAFTON India. The primary judging criterion will be on how well the theme “Thunder” is adapted into the designs.

Detailed Guidelines:

• When designing the head, ensure that hats, helmets, or other head accessories are proportioned so they do not unnaturally clip into or extend far beyond the in-game vehicle roof.

• The base character model must remain in the standard A-pose as provided in the reference mockup.

• When green is the dominant color in the design, vary shades, tones, or patterns to prevent excessive camouflage that could give unfair gameplay advantages.

• Design shoulder areas with mindful proportions; overly thick or bulky shoulder design elements can visually conflict with the straps and placement of backpacks in-game.

• Avoid large, overly loose, or “overflowy” components that may cause clipping, obstruct animations, or distract visually during gameplay.

• Avoid designing shoes with high heels, as these can appear unrealistic in combat situations and may distort animations.

• Refrain from designing mittens or other glove styles that would restrict the character’s ability to pull a weapon trigger.

• Avoid designing outfits that include large back-mounted elements if a large backpack will also be equipped.

• Do not design tops that are overly similar in silhouette, texture, or pattern to the in-game bulletproof vest to prevent confusion in identifying equipped armor.

• Ensure layered costume components. Do not create unnecessary intersections or clipping with each other.

• The design must not resemble, reference, or visually imitate any gods, deities, other sacred religious figures or any well-known real-world individuals?living or deceased.

• The character’s body proportions must closely follow the provided mockup. No changes are permitted to the body type, height, weight, limb length, or other anatomical proportions.

• If any part of the skin (such as arms, legs, torso) is visible in the design, it must follow the same body type and musculature as the provided mockup.

• Avoid any design elements, patterns, symbols, or logos that could be interpreted as protected intellectual property from other brands, games, movies, comics, sports teams, or media.

• AI-generated or AI-assisted imagery, whether fully or partially produced, is strictly prohibited to ensure originality, authenticity, and full ownership of creative assets.

5. The winning design MAY be adapted in BGMI in an upcoming update.
