Completed [Community Event] Design a Weapon Cover!

Okay, got it

 

Alright, hear me out.
What if the entire server collaborated on just one submission.
The truest community event of all time.

 

I would like this very much

 

TwitchPlaysWeaponCoverDesign?

 

IGN(s): -ovv
Weapon Name: -ovvala bottle
Weapon Description: Hydration check!
Design:



Designed after my own owala bottle which I always keep around while playing ML, so inspiration didn't come from very far.
Just a neat little coincidence my forum/ML persona happens to match up for this stupid pun.

Wanted to take a stab at pixel art. Mad respect for all of you talented pixel artists out there because this shit is hard. Very excited to see the other entries :V

 

IGN(s): Confessor

Weapon Name: Spiralglass Interceptor (I'd call it Sword, but we gotta be inclusive of all weapons)

Weapon Description: I wanted to create a normal looking in-universe Maple weapon for 2-H Sword / Spear / Pole-Arm users, i.e. not a K-Pop accessory, but also not a mundane metal stick. I also wanted it to look vaguely shaped enough that it could pass as a wand / bow / gun / etc - but forget about them M'nightlords. It's about 100px/20px so hopefully the screenshots are pretty close to how it'd look in-game

Spoiler: Insert Flavor Text

An ornate relic weapon excavated from the remnants of a long forgotten battle. Its delicate beauty belies its unworldly durability, corrosion resistance, and edge retention - it remains battle ready despite unknown centuries spent buried under the peat of Ellin forest.

Though the process to craft Spiralglass blades has long been lost to the annals of history, researchers speculate that the monolithic mana crystal comprising the core of the blade is painstakingly grown and intertwined with the intricate Mithril framework through centuries of careful tending, pruning, and perhaps sacrifice, of magical energies

Default standing frame:


Sample 2H Poses:



(The Standing frame is a little messed up because there's not enough pixels to rotate. I can fix that if this entry wins *wink wink*)

 

Blue Shanty

Not relevant but post here anyway
p/s: someone broke it and it turned into Blue screamer

I will submit my sick-asse t arts after the event is over

how do you rotate the thing, or redrawn from scratch?

 

Rotated in my art software using nearest-neighbor and then cleaned up manually

pleaseee draw something, a week and no new art, im diynngg LOLLL
Its easy to make one, even me made something guys

!! Event Conclusion: the events is good but the rule maker is not nice
1. The rewards giving thingy is merely and solely biggest insulting to those who love pixel art and those wanna make nice thing with art.
2. Art is to show your sharing and caring not for the dimwit rigging competion or some cheap gamble ranking who's better who's worse, go urself.
3. So many people here could make great arts and the amount of attendee, quality of art submitted proved how much everyone hate the event creators.
4. You say what "All submitted arts belong to maplegends", are you just trolling or wanna pull another insult to everyone here. We gladly give you full access and full usage of the art, but it never belongs to you.
5. Lastly but not least, your shadow-bans on me is grey

 

Out of curiosity, what will contribute to Staff voting? Are weapon effects considered for the vote, or just the weapon itself? Is there any actual criteria these will be judged on for the vote, or is it just arbitrary?

Will fully finished weapons with effects be judged by the same criteria as unfinished design concepts and sketches?

Are entrants expected to style-match? Or can entrants just submit any art and it’s assumed Pasta will clean it up later? Will entries with no style-matching be penalized when it comes to judging and voting? Is stuff like this even considered at all, or is the vote all just down to individual taste?

Should participants be prioritizing creativity, even at the cost of significantly more complicated or even unrealistic implementation, or should we be trying to create ready-to-ship finished assets?

Sorry for the wall of questions, it just would be nice to know a bit more about what kind of traits or criteria staff will be looking for or considering when voting before spending several hours on something that could be going in the entirely wrong direction all along.

 

LF> Korean flag weapon
