Also there is now another 50k for complete customization of in-game menus as well.
525k.. I'm starting to get greedy myself..Damn! Time to open up paint and get dat drawing done!
:D
What would you guys say sets cRPG apart from vanilla M&B? What sort of image would convey that while there are plenty of mods out there, this one is ours? Mechanics? Comedy? (In)famous players? Because those are the sort things I'd consider in an entry and I'd like to hear peoples' opinions.
If i remember well Mercs offered to make a complete set for 1 million gold, we already have 645k only for a loading screen.
I wouldn't be that confident that they can come up with anything usefull. Especially if the guy who is behind their logo is involved.
100k if this win(click to show/hide)
I like the menu screen with the Map.
I made something today(click to show/hide)
so, what do you think?
You can't produce quality work in 1 day or so, I believe we have should give them all some time.

This. I'd put the deadline at least 2 or 3 weeks away.Cause I didn't mention this already...
Zapper that's kinda what I had in mind. I recall TF2 having a similar picture somewhere about the classes. Just make the pose in a battlefield setting and add a little action on the background. A ninja peaking from behing a rock or a wall and an archer running away from a tincan etc.Yes! Like the TF2 group picture! But considering how many different styles and build we have, this can be A LOT of dudes :D
and any others you can throw in there.a thrower :D
I've seen other mods do it - have multiple different loading screens that are chosen from randomly each time.
Balton loading screen XD
To convey all the different aspects of cRPG, rather then having a regular shieldwall you could have lots of different fighters in the scene
yeah, i think thats what i'm going at. and more arrows, no doubt.in 3 weeks it has expired:/
ok, where is the deadline? is it officially delayed now?
i'll be back from vacation around september 11th /12th, thats when i can start painting the picture till it's finished. the painting itself shouldn't last more than a week or maybe two.
Thing is we might even extent the timeline if you got a good idea if there isn't that much of competition.
I just saw this, when is the deadline?
2 weeks more. After 2 weeks, the deadline is extendable by 1 week if people let me know that they are working on something.
DEADLINE!
so 15th of August it is, extendable to 22 of August.

One hour... that was the time i needed for finishing my work:(click to show/hide)
I haz winz now?
Thomeks post made me think. What about a big group photo with all the different variations of players/classes we have/can have? Like there are templar knights, black plated steel shielders on plated chargers, robed querterstaffman, pure agi and athl daggerman, ninjas jumpslashing and loads of other "normal" "whacky" and "weirdo" fighters we have in cRPG?Made my heart melt.
They would all then be facing us and doing whatever heroic pose/ weird animation /funny thing or whatever?
I would really like this.
Made my heart melt.Actually an old idea. Nemeth had an alt with it before STF was introduced (the old one where that would be your only character) and he actually got a lot of kills. Ran in at superspeed, chambered their attack and the MASSIVE speed bonus could easily penetrate armour.
I support this idea.

OK!lol, I like the concept.

cheapshot? could you make a pic with a cavalry force charging into a shieldwall with pikes between them and archers behind the wall shooting??
would be really cool to see that.
thanks in advance!
hmm...
Why are you forcing me to extend the deadline? xD
Ok, I know at least 3, three people have something in the works, and all are promising.
Let's wait until we have some graphic from all of them.
Why is the tincan with the claymore doing ballet?
Also, kinda melee biased? Don't see any other classes :/.
OK!I love how you managed to add 513 ninjas in that picture! Detail is amazing :)
http://iforce.co.nz/i/i3tdn1ct.0jo.png
Just trying to capture the spirit of this mod. If it looks like he's doing ballet then I got it right. :wink:
I could add some ranged dudes in I suppose. The image I was going for was the last few seconds of the round, when there's only one guy left on the team with x5 and everyone is shouting at him to last 15 more seconds so they can get that tick. I don't know how to depict that though
ghosts shouting at him maybe?
I took a lot of suggestions and improved my picture. The contest deadline was yesterday however so I don't mind if you judge my entry based on what I had yesterday. We've had weeks to do this and days extra so it's gotta end sometime.(click to show/hide)

You should add clan tags above the heads except that lone tincan, then!
I'm sadden by the fact that there's a HA but no sight of any other types of Cavalry. Especially elephants, always wanted to see them in your art style :D.

@cheap_shot
r you really sure you don't want anyone to oppose you? where is your spirit? i mean you can throw and throw up as long as you want, but don't do it alone, it's no fun at all - my humble advice
to be honest, your picture is well done,
... but i'll give you a challenge, for that's why we play c-rpg
can someone make a scene where there is a shield wall, with archers behind it shooting a shitload of arrows, while you see a cav charge storming the shieldwall, but pikes are sticking out of the shieldwall to defend it against cav, you also see a group of infantry already hacking into the other side of the shieldwall.
does anyone want to try?
If you have said that in the battle yesterday, we had the exact frame, I could have taken a snapshot :)me too, that's the reason why i play crpg.
I just did a sketch this night/morning, can someone take the idea and layout and draw it nice?I'd split the prize 10% 90% If you use the parchment with characters done more recognisable...(click to show/hide)
The characters are (from left to right) Ansatsusha, Gnjus, Phyrex, Goretooth, and Tenne. The horseman in the distance is The Finn. Expand, add more characters, draw it fantastically, whatever, just adding my idea.
We'll see if chadz implements it. I'm a little disappointed that we apparently have only one serious entry?
I feel ignored. My Entry was fukkin serious. -.-
cheapshot? would you give my idea a try? i know you can make it look best.
competition is still going on.. :)
Deadlines.
Did anyone ever take them seriously??
I took a lot of suggestions and improved my picture. The contest deadline was yesterday however so I don't mind if you judge my entry based on what I had yesterday. We've had weeks to do this and days extra so it's gotta end sometime.That's pretty awesome :D(click to show/hide)
I'm waiting for 1 more submission. The person knows who im talking about.
(Ofc anyone else must also feel free to submit their ideas in the meantime!)
I spent hours straight finishing my submission to get it in on time, and you're letting someone else take all the time they need to make theirs better then mine. It just smacks of unfair is all. If I want to compete I'll have to draw an entirely new picture and still have less time to work on it then whoever we're waiting for since I'd be starting now.
My point still stands really. Why on earth would you enter a contest you can't even participate in?
If I get round to do it, I will add a tincan at the end of the line (right), I simply forgot, 'cause it's laaaate ...A tincan on a tincan horse, please :mrgreen:?
Ahaha, I just imagined Cheap_Shot smashing his keyboard when he saw Kajia's pictures.no me.
-snip-
ALSO I was thinking about a slogan beneath the cRPG label. Something nerdy yet solemn, silly but helpful or seemingly shallow but wise, you know, something any peasant will notice and veterans will always state otherwise, something not at all sarcastic ..., AND something that just fits with the picture -
something along the lines of these:
'there's always a place for you'
'you'll get invisible if you stay calm'
'you can catch arrows if you run fast enough'
'mind your head'
'beware, behave, be almighty'
if you like this idea, say so.
-snip-
Kool stuff Kiaja!dis
I feel like there should be either a full castle or some castle ruins in the distance and some shadowy/misty figures of dudes and horses in the background though. I think it just needs a bit more to feel perfect...
Diggin' the style though.

Also through in a little arab looking thrower looking sower at his defeat.
Damit I wish know about this contest sooner, I would have done something very cool. Hey for the cRPG comment go with, Choose your Warrior Path.Actually, that's pretty good! And add the part Kaija already mentioned.
tbh this one is way better:Took me a little while to spot it.(click to show/hide)

(...)
a setting like your shieldwall one, but more from a higher prespective, a bit higher so it stays in contact with the fight, but so that you can look over the hill. over the hill you have a cavalry charge coming towards the shieldwall, behind the shieldwall a few pikemen are hiding untill the right moment to stop the cavalry charge. where the other army is(again over the hillside) their leader in speaching with his axe raised in the air to encorage his men. with archers shooting at the shieldwall a little bit right to the other army.
positions:
your looking over the side of a hill, which runs down pretty steep.
on top of the hill theree is the shieldwall, with archers, footmen and a few knights on horseback.
behind the hill there are:
left cavalry moving towards the left side of the hill to flank the shieldwall.
inf in the middle
archers right of the inf

... just give me a high def version of the cRPG logo ...
I did my final strokes on this picture (with the suggestions of marco1391, Final_Boss and ManOfWar in mind, thanks guys)(click to show/hide)
Post high resolution pic without the text, I want a wallpaper.
About the logo: I actually think put no text in it at all. No logo, no slogan - as far as I'm concerned, the picture is perfect, it tells a story that needs no explanation.Agree. It would make sense in an advertisement but as a splash screen I would think just the image would be perfect.
Why the hell don't we have it?
785.000 crpg gold
Well i think the loading screen is the one who will get seen longest and most often. This is the main and most important work.This.
The menu screen is only shown very short because people instantly click away from it. Of course it is nice if it has some detail as well as it could give viewers a second chance. but still. Loading screen is the main thing imo. :)
but tax free
Post high resolution pic without the text, I want a wallpaper.(click to show/hide)
that!my pleasure to serve the artist :)
I think, after considering what thomek graciously told me (thanks for that), I might change plans again.
See, the 2nd pic from above is not as good as it seems (lol) ... ahem ... as berethorn is doing a great job with just instantly giving me a better idea I'll just do that.
[@thomek: this should get quite the eye-catcher, too, so I feel like having this one in the main menu is better than something smaller, cause you can't stop the 2nd loading screen but you can hesitate at the menu ... am I getting this right?]
And for the 3rd one, which is in fact the same piece, I will consider replacing it by something that might come out of this one:(I posted this before)(click to show/hide)
... 'cause I think it's good for a fast screen where nothing big, but intense! should happen.
aaand I'll do a little sumthin-sumthin with the finished loading screen, too - but nothing world-changing at all. You won't even see it ... crap, I said too much
for the tagline suggestions: nah, not really, keep it up guys!
Kajia
*sketching again*
You used a period "." instead of a comma ","... so it's only 885.00 gold not 885,000 gold. Sorry to be that guy, but come on!Ever heard of different decimal signs?
Ever heard of different decimal signs?in my country, "."="," and ","="."(except in sentences)
two things:
first, you get your wallpapers for the shieldwall-pic.
I have a yellowish canvas-like color version and a colder blueish original color version, then I made ones with and without the logo and three different sizes each (1920x1440 5:4, 1920x1200 16:10, 1920x1080 16:9)
dear downloader, who can't wait: have fun, but notice: I'm doing more pictures, so there will be more wallpapers, this could even get an extra thread if I have the time for that.
so this is version 0.1, ok? :D
download here: http://ul.to/zrl18d3j (http://ul.to/zrl18d3j)
is this just the wallpaper or skin for cRPG?
no its not.
Okay.
Tell me what you like most, be precise!
Otherwise I need to paint out all of those and decide then and THIS will last a long time, because my next semester is near.
It's not said I'd never finish the remaining pictures after that (I'd make wallpapers for the lulz), but this way you can have the official replacements earlier.
One more thing: Armor and role suggestions are appreciated and considered. But I won't add anything beyond the limit a picture can take and if it's finished, it's finished ("shieldwall").
I hope you enjoy the view.
I'm awaiting your words, Peace!
Kajia
the one I showed a sketch before:I like this one very much, because it is both beautiful and a common scene in cRPG. You want to add more action? Maybe you could paint some more men on the wall that is on the right side of the picture, and/or men fighting on a terrace of the tower we see behind the tincan.(click to show/hide)
the one I showed a sketch before:(click to show/hide)
Yes, we will do it like that. I just wonder where cheap shot disappeared.. Anyone seen him?
How is the progress?
I have made this new wonderful loading screen pic - where can i cash in the 1 mil?
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Pretty awesome, eh?
How is the progress?
dude, that'll have to wait after I finished that other stuff, sorry man :DNo problem. Take all the time you need. Just do it SOMETIME and I'm happy. Patience is a virtue. I just wanted to remind ya :P
but try to understand
My only gripe is the xbowman reloading makes the image a little confusing initially, try maybe changing the colours on him a bit to differentiate him from the character behind.
Kajia a little suggestion, maybe add a thrower to that loading pick, seems thats the only class that isnt represented. Perhaps just draw some javs on the back of one shielder in the wall?
Ok, just to try to help other competitors join in, I will divide the prize money like this:

So send in your stuff guys. You can't loose!

Yeah, I wouldn't want it any other way.once again, a great job kajia!
And let me tell you: can't lose by painting anything for a reason. It's never in vain. I always improve myself by doing so; this time too, I still can't believe it :D
Let me see your works! (but the serious ones first :wink:)
Ok, and here is some stuff by me:(click to show/hide)done.(click to show/hide)
so here is an update again:wtf.(click to show/hide)
Take a good hard look behind/left to the poleaxe-guy ... Thrower? Thrower.
Obviously it wasn't obvious enough in the last version, so I emphasized it a bit more, to become more obvious, obviously ... :o
And the guy at the right holds, and held, a trowing axe, he got one more now, though.
Anyways.
I will have a hard day and night to finish the menu pic. Monday is study time again. yay. ... YAY!
Peace.
Something like this:(click to show/hide)
Personally I like the original more.
I'm just not a fan of the border but that's just me!I completely understand what you mean.
About that second picture is that left shoulder of the guy whose back is towards us ok? I understand what the pose is but it still seems bit off to me for some reason.
Thomek, just a question - how are you going to organize the pot, since it is collected from heck-knows-how-many-different-players?
The thing is, i wonder how many people have already forgotten about this and how many are actively checking the forums. That said, i doubt he'll gather the whole 1 mill. gold.
i know its not compareable with kajia but...Actually not bad!

(...) all of it goes to kajia because there is no 2nd or 3rd base pictures. There is some posted here but they're not up to the standard that a loading screen would require. (...)that's rough, dude. It doesn't matter what standard the pics are, they're works of art and therefore worth an appreciation. I don't care about splitting the price, it's not that I did this only for the money in the first place.
but you'll have to tell me why the HA is holding arrow in his hand instead of on his bow...
