Design a mount contest

[Lambdafish]

With the success of the tank gear and hairstyle contests and all of the awesome outfits and hairstyles that we got to see the community design, I feel like we can expand upon this idea with mounts.

I'd love to see what weird and wonderful mounts the community can come up with, organic, mechanical, aetherial, both flying and ground. I think this would be a really fun community event.

Sounds neato. :3 I probably wouldn't enter since I don't ever win...but nice idea nonetheless.

Tonberry hot air balloon mount please.

I know I have an idea I'd love to see but my drawing skills leave much to be desired. Something like a mechanical Yarzon spider mount that (without the spinning person) the legs all extend out in a helicopter fashion for flight :3

Somebody please design a mount like this:

If the lead lala had a red nose and could fly I would use this exclusively

Don't want to be the negative Nancy, but mounts are a lot different then just making hair dues or armor. What ever idea you had of a existing NPC in this game has probably already been thought of as a mount, and creating a mount just seems like a hell of a lot of work than making armor. It is an entirely new model with animation, particles, and sound.

I'd join in on this contest if they did it... But I never win anything they put up as a contest. :P

There would naturally be rules. Size restrictions, speed restrictions, function restrictions etc. And the final mount would be judged not only on coolness, but also on viability (like I imagine the other contests were).

you mean something like a cross between these two?



Sounds cool! Also reminds me that I really want this as a mount (though I'm never getting it)

Yup, basically.
