So who here submitted to the Tank design contest?

It'd be cool to see how many entered. I just submitted my entry today!

Ngl, a little worried I made the design too detailed and fanciful but I guess what's done is done!

Not me °-°
Tanking stuff just can't get me into the mood.
I'll think something up once they do this contest for mage gear as well :x

I main whm, so I totally know what youre saying. I hope one day they come out with a whm design contest ;w;.

I feel that they should've made the contest for Healers/Casters instead of tanks. As much as there's a ton of ways to designing a epic tanking set, so too does making a casting one and our variety of gear sets are very much limited compared to them. That might just be me but I have a tough time finding myself excited whenever I see a new robe or another long tail cloak bodypiece.

I submitted. I wanted to get it in early so I didn't have to worry about it when I have to do other things.

I hope my design is okay, it was the first type of design thing I've done :O. I wish I could've gotten confirmation from the mods if it was okay or not :p.

I entered! I'm not entirely sure if my ideas are what they are looking for though. I made a rather elegant piece opposed to the bulk tanks usually tend to wear.

Either way, good luck everyone :) I for one can't wait to see what everyone came up with

bump a dump for the afternoon crowd!

I would like to enter, since i like making outfit designs, and have made some for several original characters I've made but none of them are really tanky in design. I mean one i labelled a Paladin, but the outfit might not be considered tanky.

I did not , they just need to copy Tera gear designs imo :O)

But for all that do glgl!!!...have fun and do some awesome work!!
Creating is the best fun!

I was going to enter... But then I realized I could NOT make anything gender neutral. I love making female outfits, but I can not for the life of me draw anything a male would wear.

@Ladykairi, I feel you, I love making outfits that accentuate feminine features XD.
Also bump for the morning crowd!

I will be, but can't post it here since they said entries posted on social media before they put up the finalists might be disqualified. Don't wanna take that risk!

Not me. I'm no good at creating original content. :(

Yep! apparently there was a huge hubbub with the hairstyle contest where artist posted their designs earlier than what was allowed and got disqualified :(. It took me an hour to submit my entry because I was carefully rereading the requirements over and over XD. Nervous nutkin is a go.

I'm not an artist but I hope we get some actual designs that look like armor and not just a battle dress.

Sent like a dozen mails though, kept editing it. Hope they didn't mark me as spam x3

Here's hoping the finalists didn't include skirts/dresses. <_<+

I hope at least some of the people who wanted to make those didn't because it has to be able to be worn by all genders / races, and they would have had to make a different version for males (because let's be honest SE is not gonna give us any dresses for males), and have done a design that still looks good on lalas... Can't really fit the popotos in a normal pretty dress.

I did enter and to be fair, the process of creating the design itself was super exciting and rewarding (especially when you finished after spending hours editing that one part that never really looked good /snap).
Looking forward to interesting and unique designs that fit both male and female alike.
I do hope they'll release it soon-ish, so excited to see the entries, cause I do play on my tanks quite often.

(The amount of restarting because I had so many new concepts in my mind...)

Truth! Took the words out of my mouth, the experience was super rewarding. My tank design is all designed with male models, but I hope SE sees that it can b worn by females...too /fear.

I'm just hoping people remembered to fit for Au Ra and Miqo'te tails like SE did that one time 2 years ago and then promptly never bothered with again.

I used a male model as well (got a template from the FFXIV artbook I had, was quite convenient for proportions etc!). It looked gender neutral to me although the devs can always adjust the shape a little if you used a flat chest-plate or something to fit the female shape.
My drawing skills aren't all that great so it was quite difficult to make the entry. I'm really itching to share with my friends but alas we can't yet...

Aw man, I knew I forgot something! No problems at the headpiece as it's some sort of a circlet but the pants are... I don't even know how the current gear deals with coats in this game - straight up clipping through?

Once the contest winners are decided, I hope some of the artists will post their screenshots. I'm curious to see what people came up with as a whole.

Pretty much everything just has tails clipping through, the last set I can remember SE accommodating races with tails properly was the old i90 BCoB models.

Actually they are starting the process of making all outfits available for each gender. It was in the 3.3 patch notes.
