Creativity Contest 2019 #2! - GM-Ciar - 09-04-2019

Help HeRO with your creativity and win prizes!

  • Rules & Guidelines

  • Deadline: November 15 at 12:00 AM / 00:00 (server time, EST GMT-5)
  • The GM Team will be the judges for this contest.
  • A player may submit as many entries as they want in any, some or all categories listed below.
  • Participants will receive 1 participation prize regardless of amount of entries submitted.
  • Participants can win only once per category, with a maximum of 2 wins on different categories. (IE You submitted 2 great card arts, but will win only once. However, your cutin art or video can win again since it's on a different category).
  • Any entries submitted may be used for heRO, regardless if it wins or not.
  • Please put all your entries in the same post (unless you reach the image limit, in which case put a link to your next post that contains entries), feel free to edit your post(s) until the deadline.
  • If your image stretches the forum, please use thumbnails or links instead.
  • Please mention your character names in your entry post so we know who to give rewards to.
  • Your submitted art can have your name/artist signature on it, but please don't make it too big. Note that on custom card art, HeRO's logo goes on the bottom right side of the image, regardless of whether there is a signature or not.
  • Do not steal someone else's work. If using artwork or other material made by someone else please ask them / credit them in your post.
  • Keep everything PG-13.
  • Must be RO related (avoid images from other games, anime, etc).
  • More than 1 player may participate in the creation of an entry, however only 1 person may submit it and collect the participation/reward prize for it, that person is then responsible for prize distribution or any other deal agreed to by the players involved.



Categories
  • Category #1 - Card Images:
  • Format: .png
  • Size: 300 x 400
  • Regular RO Border or heRO emblem not required.
  • Monster sprites are listed below.
  • If you want to do card art for a monster not listed below that does not already have a card art, you may request a sprite in this thread and we'll post it as soon as we can.

  • Category #2 - NPC Cutins:
  • Format: .png
  • Size: Approximately 320 x 480 (With GM approval you may be allowed to make larger ones for important NPCs)
  • The Cutin doesn't have to look exactly like its NPC version, but try not to make it completely unrecognizable.
  • The background has to be transparent (for RGB: 255-0-255, for Hex: #FF00FF). The npc itself must not be transparent or have any semi-transparent pixels. If it's not at 100% opacity it will make the pink background not exactly FF00FF, which will be noticeable in-game (usually a quite ugly pink outline on the image). And please, don't use anti-aliasing.
  • If you want to check if your image is ok before sending, open it in photoshop, use the magic wand with a tolerance of 1 and no anti-aliasing, select the area around your npc, turn that white or black, see if you have a pink outline that shows around your npc. If so, you gotta make it go away!


  • Category #3 - Loading Screens:

  • The size of a loading screen should preferably be 1600 x 1200, but 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024 is good too.
  • Image format must be Jpeg (.jpg).
  • GM-Ciar manually adds the server logo somewhere in the bottom of the image, so it's not necessary for you to do it.
  • Your loading screen may also be used as a title screen too, so it may be seen on the login and character select screens!

    You can make a loading or title screen image about anything HeRO related, but if you're not sure what to make, here's some ideas/suggestions:



  • Allegiance System
  • Events (Fabre Tame, Poring Smash, Novices vs Taini, etc.)
  • Chronicles of Heroes
  • Flooded Yggdrasil Root (Kushiel's Dungeon)
  • Lutia Region
  • Faeheim Region
  • Muspelheim


  • Category #4 - Video:
  • Duration: at least 30 Seconds
  • Hosted on Youtube
  • Must showcase 1 or several feature(s) in order to promote heRO to outside users (PVM, Questing, etc.)
  • Video should display the server name and rates (5/5/3) in the title or description
  • Must have the following tags: "heRO", "Ragnarok", "Ragnarok Online", "heRO RO", "heRO Ragnarok", "Ragnarok Private Server", and "heRO Promo", and more if you wish
  • Format: any that YouTube accepts (.mov, .mpeg, .wmv, .avi)
  • Must be a video sequence rather than only screenshots and still images


  • Rewards

    Participation Prize: For submitting at least 1 worthy* entry a player will be rewarded once with the following:

    *To be considered a worthy an entry should look like at least more than 30 minutes was spent on it, we reserve the right to refuse entries deemed too "cheap" (avoid stick figures and such).
  • 1 Old Card Album (Plus 1 for each of your submissions that is chosen to be added ingame)
  • 1 Jewelry Box
  • Choice of 2 of any of the the costumes in the image below:

    Second row, left to right: Warm Cat Muffler, Water Aura, Rainbow Ears Feather

    Note: There may be Special Mention prizes if the GM Team chooses so.


    Prize for winning entries: Winners will get their participation prize, plus their choice of a Trans Class Headgear shown in the image below (Row 1-3), as well as a choice of costumes from the image below (Row 4-5), and a choice pack listed below the headgears.

    Multiple winners can pick the same prize. There will be anywhere between 4 and 8 winning entries, but this amount can change depending on the amount of participants at the end of the contest.

  • Questions
    Ask and we shall answer!
  • Will we get cards for all the monsters in the card list?
    Answer: Only the ones that have card images by the end of the contest.
  • How many prizes can one win?
    Answer: For submitting a worthy entry, you will get a participation prize. If you win on any category, you'll get the headgear and choice pack, and if your submission is selected to be added to the server, you'll also get an old card album.
  • I'm not great at digital drawings, can I do them by hand?
    Answer: Yes, just make sure it's scanned properly (high resolution) and has a clean look (not blurry, grainy, etc).
  • Are any of the reward headgears animated?
    Answer: Flying Galapago, Black Witch Hat, Warm Cat Muffler, Sorcerer Hood, Glitter, and Dark Aura are animated.
  • What are the Lutia and Faeheim reputation reward pets?
    Answer: From Lutia: Ijsbal, Pale Vulpine, Snow Moth, Kalpea Henki, and from Faeheim: Springbeak, Stumper, Spiky Urchin, Chipmunk. Each of these give a unique bonus when loyal!
  • Can my entries win more than once?
    Answer: You can win only once per category, regardless of entries. For example, you submitted 2 amazing card arts, but can win only once on the card category. However, if you also submitted cutin art or a video, you have a chance to win again since it's on a different category. In total, you can win up to 2 times this way.
  • How do GMs judge entries?
    Answer: Each GM must individually pick what they feel are winning entries. Once the judging period is over, the entries that received the most votes wins. Keep in mind beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and thus every GM has their own criteria, likes, dislikes, etc.


Disclaimers:
By posting your entry, you agree to the following:

- Submitted entries can be used by the GM Team for the server in any way shape or form, in or outside the game (forum, RMS, HeRO's facebook page, etc).
- The GM Team reserves the right to adjust prizes at any time as they see fit for balance purposes.
- Any entry which is determined to be antagonistic to HeRO Server or its players will be disqualified. In-game or forum punishments may also apply.
- OCA rewarded for each submission chosen to be added ingame will be given along with participation rewards, winning rewards, etc. No additional OCA will be rewarded if an entry previously not set to be added is chosen to be added after all, after two weeks of the contest's end.
- The judgement of the contest organizers is final.

RE: Creativity Contest 2019 #2! - GM-Ciar - 10-18-2019

Hello, heroes! After some consideration regarding the anniversary festivities and players not wanting to lose playtime with increased rates to participate in the contest, we have decided to extend the contest's duration.

The contest deadline has been moved to November 15th, 2019 at 00:00!
