January 2016 Item Creation Contest Winners!

Nice items, congrats!

 

CONGRATS to all of the winners, but I must say that none of the Items really meet the criteria of the actual contest - which was primarily supposed to be about how well the description was. This quote directly from the Item Creation Contest Thread:

"The most important part of your submission is the description. Item creation is a technical as well as a creative process. Give the artist clear and detailed information about the item’s appearance.

Remember, we’re looking for information really makes it clear to our illustrators what the item is supposed to look like. You have limited space and the illustrator is first and foremost concerned with key visual elements."

With that in mind, some of the winning Items do not include ANY type of description as to the Items appearance - a bit disappointing when I personally thought the entire purpose of the contest was to be based mostly (if not all) on the how well the person described the visual components of their Item, and "bonus points" were given for a "creative name/clever title". I am not attempting to take credit away from any of the winners or say they did not deserve to win, but sticking to the contest rules outlined by Kano sure didn't help any of the entries which adhered to them!

 

I could not have said it better.

 

I am Confused ,.... will My win be taken back ? I have no idea about scarecrow matey . ,,,,, days after this post I looked up scarecrowmatey. He Is AWESOME !!!!!!! wish i had one

 

Nope, your good to go Elizabeth was a error.

 

I´ll repost it, while it seems you missed the discription, which is almost the same as the artist concept. Just because it is simple does not make it any less qualified.

Name: The "F" bomb
Type: Weapon
Item Description: An old-fashion round bomb(black) with a lit fuse, and a red Capital letter F on it.

 

I made mine pretty detailed down to the trim, and could not agree anymore with this statement

 

Really? The artists couldn't come up with something like this without our help? And if you have dedicated "artists" that don't do anything else except for art, maybe they should actually create new items that we spend FPs for instead of taking an old item and changing the background and the name, therefore creating a "new" item.

 

I feel who ever drew it , saw it this way in their mind , How many paintings in museums ,are not understood by people, what an artist sees is not what everyone else may see, yet the Kano artists then add their own vision, and it does not mean it is wrong.

 

Next Item Creation my item idea will be "nothing"
a dark jet black block
you have killed your enemy with nothing =)

 

what are you talking about? for LCN, the item is EXACTLY the way the player described it. kind of like painting by numbers, isn't it?

 

Nice surprise, unexpected Pleased they went with the tribute to Lemmy and picked Bowie for PC.

 

2 copy and paste fails in the same post?

 

agree here w/Michael & also , if described to every detail U take away the fun of the Input the illustrators would like to have. i want the artist to "Have Fun" too

 

I Absolutelly LUUUvvv Da-Bomb ROFL FUN stuff & hard to beleive it hasnt been thought of until Now! High 5 !!!!!! So Glad U Thought Of It. I'll have to get it 4 Sure

 

with My idea: I did not mention adding his face ( copyright infringement issue possibly , I left that Up to The Kanos Crew to cross & I had said with the glass turned over ( It saves space to have it UP right ) there in able to make the art larger. All of these decisions made by Art Crew perfect. There wording "Got" the deep of the item idea , & i'm please as " All-Get-Out" they represented it so well

 

well said

 

Just Bought da Bomb lol,.. & im wearing it in my gear

 

I was referring to a post made by a member saying one of the items was nothing like the way the person described it, and I have not even looked at the LCN item, I am only interested in the VC and PC and I happen to know one of the winners.

 

awesome idea & has a lot of background interest in movies , computers ,etc. more mentions of Black Cubes in all than even obelisks , as in Space odyssey . Cool man discription reflecting those connections ( A Must ) so research. I'd Buy One
