Official cRPG Loading Screen Graphic competition! 1 mill. reward + chadz Torch!

[Jarlek]

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

I've seen other mods do it - have multiple different loading screens that are chosen from randomly each time.

and any others you can throw in there.

Thats not impossible to switch textures to assign a new one with a small script. Animation is tougher.

[Glyph]

think animation is a little to hard to do, and would it add a lot?

you mean like in rome total war right? there the screens fade into eachother, and those are animations, but if they were just pics it would be fine

[Tears of Destiny]

Just use pictures, no animations.

Kajia, I really like your first picture. As you said it's calm, but lots of maps consists of waiting before that initial clash.

Thomek suggested more arrows dropping in, which would make the scene more dramatic. For good and bad I guess. I think not showing the enemy is a clever move nonetheless.
To convey all the different aspects of cRPG, rather then having a regular shieldwall you could have lots of different fighters in the scene (weeaboos, ninjas what not), and place them in the and around the shieldwall (basically what you have done but mix up up with different kinds of characters).

Regardless, I hope you enter cause I can't wait to see the finished result!

yeah, i think thats what i'm going at. and more arrows, no doubt.

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.

i think i'll find time to read this thread, but it will be hard for me to post any pictures.

Thing is we might even extent the timeline if you got a good idea if there isn't that much of competition.

If Joxer was serious, i still have a chance, do i ?

[Christo]

Sheesh.

It's not like the theme will be perma.. If someone makes a better one, I'm sure devs would consider changing it. 

[Cheap_Shot]

A lot of money you say? Interesting. I like large sums of money...

[Thomek]

cheap shot checking in, now lift that pencil and put something on the paper folks!

It's not THAT heavy..

Oh boy I forgot all about this. Is the contest still on? When does it end?
