Bad Guys, Good Battles Contest!
Contest now live at Artix.com!
It's that time again -- time to sharpen your pencils and test your creative mettle against the best the AE community has to offer. Since Beleen already nailed the contest details in her post over at Artix.com and AQ.com, I'll repost it here for your enjoyement rather than force you to slog through my mangled prose.
------
It’s a good day for bad monsters! Instead of using weapons and magic, pit your creative talent and artistic skills against all the existing monsters and villains from your favorite Artix Entertainment games. And have a chance at winning awesome loot in the Bad Guys & Good Battles Contest!
Your Quest
Help Loremaster Maya! Create artwork or write histories for Artix Entertainment’s monsters and villains! Winning entries will help us build the AE Encyclopedia Lorepedia (currently on AQ.com, but probably not there forever)!
How to Start Your Adventure
Take a look at one of Loremaster Maya’s first Bestiary pages, then get out and hunt up a monster or villain of your own to observe! http://www.aq.com/lore/monsters/Frogdrake
Ideas for artwork submissions include:- Draw
- Paint
- Illustrate
- Photoshop
- Sculpt
- Craft
- Bake
- Sew and Stitch
- Carve
- Balloon Animals!
Ideas for writing submissions include:- Details about where the monster/villain lives
- Any unique behavior or identifying appearance details
- What they’re good for after defeat
- Any lore we already know about them (like the Bloodtusk Troll/Horc cultures)
- Anything we DON’T know about them that doesn’t contradict what is already in-game
So long as your submission is a monster and/or a villain from your favorite Artix Entertainment game, then you’re one step closer to winning the contest! Make sure you post your submission in the contest thread at Artix.com!
Quest Requirements1. Read ALL THESE rules before submitting!
2. This is not a suggestion contest, all of the entries must be based on monsters/villains that already exist in our games.
3. All artwork must be original—absolutely NO tracing and NO stealing someone else’s artwork.
4. Pictures must be at least 500px wide and in either .jpg or .png format.
5. All writing must be original. If you use any existing in-game lore in an entry, you must add original ideas onto it.
6. Written entries must be no longer than 500 words long.
7. Entry must be inspired by a monster and/or a villain from an Artix Entertainment Game (AdventureQuest, MechQuest, DragonFable, AQW, EpicDuel, HeroSmash, OverSoul).
8. You may use any form of media for your design (Pencil, Flash, MS Word, Notepad, cake mix, etc).
9. You can include other Artix Entertainment characters alongside your monster, be it your player or a popular NPC like Warlic or Cysero.
10. Post a valid link to your picture in the Comments section below in the Image URL field.
11. Include the text of your writing entry in the Comments section text field.
12. Only ONE Bad Guys & Good Battles contest submission will be judged per game account (although you CAN post more entries under each AE game account you own, so you can post one entry for your AQW hero, then another for your EpicDuel account, another picture for your DragonFable player, etc).
13. You can enter artwork, OR writing, OR both. But only one entry total per game account.
14. Your entry MUST include your Character Name AND which game your character belongs to. How else are we gonna award you if you win?
15. Your entry MUST include the name of the monster/villain you created.
16. Please please PLEASE only post once—it will take some time to approve your submission, so please don’t spam the Submit button!
17. You will be automatically disqualified if you do not follow all the rules.
18. We have the right to remove any entry that is unacceptable or inappropriate—so keep your entry safe for everyone to enjoy!
19. And, most importantly, have FUN!
Quest Rewards
Here’s your chance at wining awesome stuff in your favorite online game! The Bad Guys & Good Battles Contest prizes will be broken down by game, but since the Lorepedia encompasses ALL our games, we will award prizes in Artix Points!
Additional prizes may be awarded to those who go above and beyond!
Quest Turn-In

- What game your Character is in
- What monster(s) and/or villain(s) you’re basing the entry on
