Contest

[Kruvy]

I would love feedback from gm's about the feasibility of this.

I have posted an Idea like this before in the general discussion but I feel this forum is more appropriate, I think it would be amazing if we had a fan made alternate artwork contest. One winner per sphere or maybe two. The gm's could place these cards in the yearly seasonal artwork lotto which would not only diversify the card pool but might encourage more players to try and buy cards from it. Reward for winning the contest (besides the honor/ cool points) could be 3 copies of the card or maybe having your username placed on the card somewhere. Or if the rarity is very high (****or*****) give them a single copy of the card they altered with some point cards. For greater control they could limit the rarity of the cards so people don't just choose chase cards. Now lets say you are not the greatest artist ever but would like to get in on the action, perhaps make april fools entries available as well.

In addition to giving the player base a sense of empowerment I think it would be great for giving the game a more grassroots kind of feel, and it might give the american players a sense of pride for being involved in something that only we have.

Please respond if you think the idea is interesting or would be game for competing in such a contest.

I think it's a pretty good idea. I'll join if it's approved

i think they ignored it o.o

Well, if we can generate enough hype for this then maybe at the least they will tell us if it has a chance of happening.

Well they do have AtS and CotF, as well as the Card Flip Theatre contests to let people get involved... The rewards you're expecting for your idea seem a little steep in comparison as well. Maybe if it was a few point cards instead, as well as possibly the option to have a card you already owned have the artwork swapped in. (It would really only need to be one copy of the card, because IIRC the one that is put on the field is always the same copy until you decide not to revive it and let it go to the cemetery. When you revive it, it just sends other copies in your file to the cemetery.)

I wouldn't mind people making fanart cards just for the sake of it though. If I was any good at drawing I'd probably make tons of them.

Well I was thinking of this as more of a once a year thing then a monthly deal. Maybe even give people a month for submissions too.

[Peralisc2]

Well if you want an art contest at least once / year then you should be already satisfied ... since they had an art contest on halloween and one during the WAF event, that's 2 already in an year and in both cases they gave sh17load of time to submit your work.

[Kruvy]

Well I joined in late march so I had no idea such a contest existed. Thank you though, you remember the rules for the halloween one?

[Peralisc2]

In the halloween one you submit a drawing / self made doll / yourself in a costume or anything like that. Ofcourse it has to be related to alteil.

You want it, you got it!

Staring TODAY we'll take art submissions for a monthly on going fan art contest. Each month I'll give you a a topic or card grouping I want to see. the Winners will get a permanent galley on the site and 150Gran and 10 point cards if their entry is selected.

each topic will run for a month and entries will be accepted until the end of the month (then the next topic will begin). The following week I will announce the winners and email them. An email and main page post will repeat this. I will also have free topic months, but I figured assigned topics would help people in getting off the ground. IF you do have a drawing you really want to do, submit it!

How you like them apples

FIRST TOPIC: Give me two distinct units from different spheres (not characters) doing anything you want (nothing over a PG-13 rating please!)
