I believe it is the design, not the backstory, that counts. Why? It is the design you see ingame, backstory is only a minimal amount of text you see when buying the weapon, you're looking at the design for the rest of the time you're playing with the thing. I don't like weapons in general, but I did see some entries of which even I thought: Hey, that's a pretty awesome design. And yes, most of those were the weapons you claim are just about Flash skills.

Quoted from the rules of the contest:
quote:

Suggestions may include:
Weapon Name
Artwork
Visual Descriptions
Backstory
Special Flavor Abilities
Something else of which the engineers of Armory Unit #2000 might not have thought

quote:

Entries will be judged upon:
Originality/Creativity
Thoroughness
Feasibility
Theme

If you don't have to put artwork, artwork is the most important thing. Also, the backstroy can be creative and original as the artwork, which is important due the rules.
EDIT: After re-thinking, everyone can see that talking on tis isn't the best thing we can talk about. Why we're not moving to andother subject?



Nathan Explosion -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/22/2009 8:44:06)

it doesn't matter how well you drew your weapon, because AE is going to re-make it any way. its actually not even judged on the actual picture.

whos john? -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/22/2009 10:43:50)

Dragonslayerninja: the top ten list i made up there is based on the artwork. but there's no need to throw a fit about it. i was just to lazy to read through the stories.

All most EVERYBODY is missing out on the point of the contest.
From what i see, that top 10 list thing posted up there was based on people pictures. THIS IS NOT AN ART CONTEST. it is a contest of creativity and weapon design. May of peoples favorites that i saw were, no offense, but just flash skills, not creative or anything. I hope people realize this before they jump to the people who made good flash.


it almost sounds like you dont want art in here, it is called " =WF= Weapon Art Contest " you know, its the originality put into the art work, and they added other things so all people can enter, many things are considered art..

oh id like to say something about this :
just flash skills, not creative or anything

well umm if you dont have creativity, how are you going to make something new?


im on the top 10 list =DDDD



jeanshadow -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/22/2009 11:34:00)

i have an idea for one weapon and one armor,one gun and a red and gray uniform,called space rogue armor

Dont get me wrong, i love the art part and i probably wouldnt have entered without being able to create something. But its just that most people have been picking their favorites on their art and not anything else. One of my favorite entries doesnt have any art at all.

Well some of the entries were not anything new. I saw some entries that highly resembled other weapons and items. They were able to make something new, but it was not something "new" because its been done before (do you get what i mean).

I wasnt throwing a fit or anything, i didnt know you were just talking about art because you said

quote:

ok so i went through the entries and decided to make a top 10 list.


and when you say you "went through the entries" that means you looked at every piece of art fairly and gave each piece a chance. So it was just a misconception.

Thank you.





Memory of a Nightmare -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/22/2009 13:28:48)

It would mean much to me to hear someone's opinion on my entry, not how good or bad it is, but if that person thinks I have a chance of being one of the winners.

TW25 -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/22/2009 14:00:17)

@above

I would say you definitely have a chance.



10power10 -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/22/2009 16:14:21)

i might win i might not but at least i got to participate but odds are i won't win cause i sorta copied the idea for a doom blade so its tecnacly isn't that original and the art work stinks but i might win cause of the back round and all the tie ins



Yagno2000 -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/22/2009 21:16:25)

Okay. So let's settle this debate once and for all. There are very specific criteria for how you will be judged. Here's how it's going to work. Your entries will all be very carefully examined, all details included, and the final criterion for choosing will be: Whichever entry we like the most. :P

This contest is 100% subjective, so if you're looking for precise criteria, I'm sorry to disappoint. And considering the artwork will be recreated from scratch to be used in WarpForce, I don't think the quality of the artwork will be factoring terribly heavily into any decisions made. It's the quality of the *idea* that counts. The artwork will serve as a guideline for how to animate the winning entry.

That said, to all of you who spent the time to craft artwork for submission, thank you! I personally VERY much enjoyed looking at all your artwork; it was marvelous! :)



Nickwright -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/22/2009 21:22:01)

Perhaps next time Yagno, if you don't want just great art, we shouldn't call this an Art contest =P



Yagno2000 -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/22/2009 21:31:14)

The contest topic said you can submit pretty much whatever you want. If you chose to submit art, that's fantastic. :)

Point is, everyone's entry is being judged equally. No one's entry will be considered any more than anyone else's entry just because of artwork or any other individual reason. If your entry is our favorite (for any reason) then we will choose it as the winner. :p



Memory of a Nightmare -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/23/2009 2:26:23)

That is very good to hear, many entries are like edited in photoshop and made into flash files and stuff. Everyone should get a chance even if they don't have all the "good"" programs. I handraw my weapons andthen edit them in Paint!

TW25: Thanks, that was also good to hear [:)]



Davosaur -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/23/2009 10:21:33)

pencil and paper works well, but i dont have much talent with that >___>
then again i- ok ill stop ther =P

zanar -> RE: =WF= Weapon Art Contest Discussion (6/23/2009 22:42:55)

my weapon is like a double sided saber sword with metal in the middle and the metal extends into like a triangle thing till the actuall beam starts showing up and on each side of the beal is like a half arch and my ideal colors for it would be red and green energy beams metal is grey at the inside and for the trignle things would be dark grey almost black and the arch things would be a mix of dark blue and dark purple with a hint of green....

special affects would be a stun affect for like 10% chance stun the damage would be green-earth blue-ice/water and other than a stun aother special effect would be like it going up to the villain and having that spin effect like which was it at mechquest the sabermoglin master guy or the master.
these are potential names for the saber national recruit blade, begginer's blade, master's swrd, and cheifs dynamite.
these were my ideas for my weapon i didnt and probably wount link a picture of what i drew because of what the mod of the forums said... but please comment both negative and comments are welcome.....

i hope that a mod could take this into consideration,.. thank you =).
