How does a screenshot/fan art contest sound? We'll be taking submissions in four categories: 1) Best overall screenshot, 2) Best action shot, 3) Best hero spotlight, and 4) Best fan art. Whether you wield a pencil, pen or the might PrintScreen, this is the event for you.
Just so everyone knows, I have to announce that I have an ulterior motive here. Yes, it's a truly insidious motive: I want more awesome images. When I ran these kinds of events on Jade Dynasty,
we got some
jaw-dropping submissions -- photo-realistic, dynamic poses, chibi, you name it.
Right now, I don't know everything that the Champs community can pull off with the massive customization of our character creation, because I can't be at every CC. I'd love to see what you can draw and screenshot, because I've got a sneaking suspicion that a comic book-inspired game like this is going to draw some real artists.
We'll have prizes for eight winners, the best in each category plus four more randomly-chosen among all entries. Each winner will get custom titles: "The Resplendent," "The Dazzling," and "The Stunning." This will probably just be in-game, but I can try to make them forum titles as well.
Comments
Is it art that's drawn of the in game NPCs and characters (the Champions, Foxbat, Destroyer, etc etc)?
Or is it art that you or someone else has drawn for their characters that they actually play?

I do have to agree with Somebob though - what counts as fan-art? NPCs only? Your own characters? The setting itself?

Yeah. Where should we post/upload/link them to?

Since screenshots are acceptable, I'm sure our characters are part of the equation.
Really can't get great screenshots with the limited availability of the NPC.
I wish I was a fresh faced Champions noob, this contest would have me so excited.
But I have like 40,000 screenshots and looking through them to clean them up is such a job, I need an intern.
When is the art contest due?
How many pieces can we enter?
Fanart division: Champions cannon characters only?
Exactly what I want to know. I've got plans and I want to start them now. :biggrin:

Uhhhhh hmm. That'll probably get changed, then... Good catch.
You can submit as many as you'd like.
Currently it's technically September 4, but that's only because I tied it with the leveling contest in my head. I'm asking tomorrow about extending it -- this is mostly a for-fun contest, so the longer you get to make art, the better.
flyingfinn speaks the truth. For me, this is mostly a for-fun event, so I'm extremely open to any art submissions. It does not need to be canon characters, it can totally be your own character; it can be either screenshots or drawings (I'll be sorting most/all drawings into the Fan Art category). Pretty much as long as no one steals art from someone else, I'm open to most any art (or poems or fanfics!) submitted.
Also, because I didn't post this earlier: You can post any of your art here, just host it on Photobucket or somewhere and link to here. Also, unless anyone requests otherwise, I'll probably be making a Facebook photo album with some of my favorites.

Too bad the one I wanted is probably stored in a DVD safety somewhere very cool Christmassy one with Purple Freeluck soaring sky of Rencen at night with fireworks ^^
I tried to not include characters that weren't played by me in the shots. Not because of fannish reasons but because I don't know if I have the player's authorizations. There are quite a few multiple heroes shot I did wanted to join but... Well.
Brou... that's all there is left to your... Handle? (I was trying to search your post I do like video editing :S )
Nice shot BTW.
* Note: For the record, my "Baron Samedi" toon was created when I was noobish and before I even knew Champions had a Baron Cimetiere. :redface:

Nice, I really like the tan color on the underside of the cape.
Ermagerd tights? Good sig, by the way.
Those teddy bears.... (edit) I remember the first time I saw the video for the Rainbow Flight. I think I'd gotten four hours of sleep the night before, I was strung out from a busy day... I was so very confused.

I could probably make something better than that, but I lost my copy of Photoshop when my laptop got fried. Still, an entry is an entry.
I'm still working on mine, but I have to work on the comic too so I don't know if I'll get finished in time or not.

Go for it! More art is better.
What kinds of comics do you do?
Here's a link to the one I'm currently working on - it just so happens to be CO related!
I've also got another webcomic on hiatus while I finish the CO comic, and another project I plan to do after that one is finished. < . .> Basically I just do little webcomics here and there, these are all basically practice to get my art skills somewhere halfway decent, not to mention keep my writing in practice as well.

Oh yeah, I read that one last night! It's interesting how in CO, there's the failed Qularr invasion always there in the background, but it gets talked about so rarely.
My plan is to go with my personal opinion... just makes things simpler, and reduces the chance of it becoming a popularity contest.
Holy @#$%^&*&^%$... that's excellent, man. Wow.
Yeah hehe, I figured it was a good backdrop for an origin story - I mean that's how we start the game ya know? So why not! <^_^>

All hail the mighty printscreen! And my friend's drawing skills, and another's photoshop mastery.
My telekinetic teleporter, Nightchild
The Super-Speedster Martial-Artist Cheetah, Ashanti
I've got a bunch more, but it's all of other people's characters, I'll have to ask them first.
Thank you very much!
Those are awesome! I would pay to have Nightchild's hair, top and dagger!
