This isn't actually my entry, but a friend's who wanted to share it on here, but can't access the forums properly at the moment.

Dalamud Fragment

HP: +80 Refresh: +5

This is so OP for MNK

They're going to have a bad time choosing the top ten since there are so many good entries :0

In other words:

NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO LIKE YOUR WORK, DEAL WITH IT.

I dont think that was the point I was making.....so explain to me why you are being so immature......is it because no1 likes your posts? Or is it because your butthurt about your Maya renders?

Damn, looking at some of these entries is really making me kick myself for letting my digital art skills lag behind. I wasn't kidding when I said that was last minute work lol (and with a knock-off program I don't like XD) if I'd had the proper time to actually do some rendering & lighting etc... Ah well.

Seriously, so many of these entries are just pure gold. Of course I want mine to get nominated, but I really don't mind who wins this because these are all really great ideas ^_^

I guess that's why the devs want to have us vote on them - they don't want to take the heat for picking entries that not everyone agrees with etc. XD

Maybe I did look at it the wrong way. It just annoys me when folk think programs do the work for you....

It takes talent, time, and thought when working with programs, they aren't always easy to work with. I just do better with pencil / pen & paper.

Absolutely! I think it's amazing what people can do with pencil and paper. The drawing you displayed is very detailed and it shows the time you have spent on it. It's the diagrams that go along with yours that makes it more spectacular. My philosophy in design work is 'if you don't have anything positive to say about something....don't say anything atall'

You won't get far with getting just positive feedback.

Thanks, but I also strive to hear the negative. Even if I don't want to hear it, I mean sometimes the negative will help you see what you don't and will help push yourself to get better. /nods

I agree with what you are saying. Im talking within the context of a community competition where everyone is on the same boat with similar interests. There should be no room for negative stuff in this thread

I have to wonder... are they going to disqualify people for going over the character limits? Or adding text stories to their pictures?

Personally I was very careful to adhere to the guidelines, but some people do not seem to be doing so?

Your sarcasm meter is apparently broken sir. There you go again getting worked up again over nothing.
As an artist, you need to learn to take criticism with a grain of salt, no matter how "Negative" you perceive it to be, others see things that you might miss in your work, it might not be the sugar and rainbows that you want to hear but in the long run, you end up being better in the end.

Once, again, taking things too seriously.

They might allow you to edit your entry if they find it over the character limit.

Probably. Also depends on how many people entered too.

I don't know whether or not to be discouraged by the fact I picked a similar name and effect to two of the other rings posted! /panic

Only about 11 hours until I unveil my entry - complete with lore!

I find it hilarious that another person's ring is the same name as mine... though very, very different looking.

How long did everyone spend on theirs anyway? Personally... 3 days... because I redrew it 3 times to 'completed' stage hahahha /wrist But so extremely happy with it in the end that it was worth it.

Ok, I'm confused... The Lodestone says says contest closed.

But original rules say:

Quote:

Entry Period
Friday, August 10, 2012 (PDT) to Monday, September 3, 2012 11:59pm (PDT)

So whats going on, they wrapping it up early?

Hm, let me check the time when I submitted my piece...

If I'm not mistaken, they first put the contest up at 11 am I had mine done by 11:30 after all my thought process and excessive sketching. So I'm gonna have to say it took me about 10 minutes but it's no contest to how fast I got mine done, I just wanted to do it before I lost my idea and draw it out before I forget.

What was yours? I'm willing to bet that there are at least 15 Rings of Rebirth in this... /snaps fingers

Total hours, I'm not really sure. I've been in discussion with my linkshell about it since the day the contest was announced... went through two versions of style, and then 3 or 4 versions of the more popular one. I had a lot of wonderful help and input along the way, and I'm really hoping the amount of spirit and effort pays off. It's more than just my heart in this one.

What I'm curious about is why The Lodestone closed the contest like a day early - and in French. Sure glad I got mine in yesterday!
09-04-2012, 02:11 AM

Ugh... I can totally understand that. Sometimes if I don't sketch it there and then the concept is gone an hour later lol.

It's nice when you do something you are happy with the first time, other times it takes much tweaking ^^

I had a few renditions myself, then I went with the one that was closest to the FFXIV lore and called it the Triumvirate Ring. nice comic in your sig too :)!

Originally I thought a Dalamud theme, but rejected it as I thought many would do the same. I kept the name and ability Reraise as a stat though. I thought we would need it for exploration... in case we run into mobs with changed/new methods of aggro etc

Looks like that ability in itself is something everyone wants to see hahah

Think submissions are still open, the closed note on lodestone has a french image tag so I assume the french period is probably over and we got posted early lol.

I'm not sure, but reading the details of the contest it said it was to end 9/3/2012 at 11:59 PM (PDT) so I decided to go ahead and attempt to at least submit my idea for the ring even though it wasn't colored. By the time stated above there is still a little time before it's actually closed even though they posted that end of the contest thing on the lodestone, I guess. =S
