Healer/Ranged DPS Magic Contest Entries

[Averax]

People really need to create these things on a model that's at least somewhat close to our in-game models, otherwise it won't translate into the game like people want it, much like in the hairstyle contest.

There were a lot of good entries, but a lot of them were done in a style that differs too much from the game's, and there's no telling how it would actually look within the game.

The amateur artists actually do a pretty great job of sticking to the mold, but the more talented sort tend to be more flagrant with their own style.

While i wasn't a huge fan of this guy's design, i like how just shopped it over a picture of actual in-game characters to give us the best idea of how it would appear.

Eh, I tried, here is my entry that didn't make it in at all.

Ah well... perhaps it didn't fit too well, and I am not very professional in art. I'm happy I was allowed to participate though.

It's my second attempt at a SE contest and I was from the video game industry in the past.

This was my turn around for the Tank contest and it wasn't taken:



I got a bit frustrated because I felt in the end, there was no need to loose time to do any turn around, be in the style and proportion of SE, neither into following the subject, to be into the noticed ppl. So this time I did a female in my style and male view with some information in the mail about the back view:



And I got noticed.
So I am happy I got my drawing noticed, but I totally understand why ppl get frustrated when they follow the rules and aren't taken, while other pass.

Finaly, here is a dps design I didn't send out because out of time to clean it:

OK...so a carbuncle suit won which was extremely similar to mine and that gets to be a finalist and not mine too. His art was better, but its a design comp not an art comp so Im a little miffed...

Here was my entry. Some really good stuff this time around in both sections.

I like a decent amount of the entries, but I have to admit a majority of them do look too female oriented. I think the better entries are the ones that incorporate a male and female model. But sometimes the outfits look too drastic to be a single item, similar to the makai armour we have from the Garo event.

Anyways, since most people are sharing their entries I guess I can show mine, admittedly i procrastinated, so I had to rush, and make it a bit more simplistic, but I had fun, XD, lol.

My 5 favorite designs for each category (minus my design):

The mistake that most of the ppl do is that they make a gear for a male and a version for the female, doing minor changes and that, but the idea is to make a single gear that can look good in two genders, like the odin gear, the model adapts to the character gender model.

I guess.


I have a bittersweet taste with my design since I wanted to add more details or coloring but the time was against me, but anyways I decided to send the entry anyways.

I'm meh on all of the caster gear sets but I really love the nurse set for healers.

The mochi reminds me of the time SE had a big contest for a new FF X-2 dressphere and the winning entry was designed by an 8 year old


Even though the drawing wasn't a masterpiece the actual designs were interesting.

[Kacho_Nacho]

WOW!

So many good entries! I have to admit, I giggled at the carbuncle suit. I don't expect it to win but I hope it makes it into the game. Perhaps as a Golden Saucer prize set?
