Shoebox's Spiral Knights Art Contest (20,000 CE in prizes!) [CLOSED]
@PancakeLulu: You sure can.
But only if you send it to me.
EDIT: Getting alot of emails from people who don't know how to upload entries to the wiki.
Just log-in to the wiki, go to the 'Upload File' option under Toolbox on the left side of the page, hit browse and find your entry, then put {{Shoeboxartcontest|Your username}} in the Summary field.
Your username refers to the account you're using to upload the file.
It should then appear on the category page: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Category:Shoebox%27s_Art_Contest_Entries
If it doesn't, go to 'My Contributions' up in the top right corner of the page, if your image is there but not appearing on the category page, then go to your entry and edit it so it has {{Shoeboxartcontest|Your username}} in it.
If it isn't appearing on your 'My Contributions' page, then it means it hasn't uploaded properly, so try uploading it again.
I love this game so much I broke my art block to enter this contest! :3
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Jellycontest12.png
Went for a sort of logo-type thingy.
Oh man I didn't realize my pic that Syor posted would be brought into this. Thanks to my little cousin (Faust23) letting me know this is happening, I'm definitely entering.
However, I was wondering how you'd treat collaborations Shoebox? He had sent me his line art for the ULTRA GRIMDARK 40K SPIRAL ASTARTES to color and we uploaded those just for funsies. Is such a thing not allowed, or can I give all the credit to him (kid needs some crystal energy)? Or should we tell him to man up and color his own damn line-art?
These are the images in question. I think you can see the two signatures in the corner, and the pre-coloring images are still in that gallery.

As an aside: Twili/Valkier your pics are looking awesome.
So, I'm just gonna go ahead and say this.
I can't finish the contest.
It's not that I don't want to finish the contest, It's just that I keep getting swamped with week-long events to where I just don't have the time. First it was a family trip to Michigan, then tomorrow I'm going to be doing a mission trip to Dallas, then I'm doing this church camp thing... so I'm kinda busy.
I've been working on this project for about a week straight - literally - (except for sleeping, but I'm 14 so I'm allowed not to have a life), but I'm just lacking time, and lately - energy to keep doing this.
I KINDA DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE SHOEBOX. I'M SORRY BRO.
Anyway, I'd be fine with finishing the artwork if you guys want it, but it'd be quite a bit ways away, and I really wish I could've shown you guys the idea that i had for this, but this is my first digital artwork ever, so It just cant compete with anything that I could do traditionally, so you're just going to have to use your imagination TILL YOU'RE BLUE IN THE FACE.

So there you go. A couple posts back actually, I had some links to what were previous versions of the same drawing if you want to see where it would've gone. OH, VALKIER. THANKS FOR THE TIPS ON THE BG, BUT I JUST NEVER GOT TO IT. I'M ROOTING FOR YOU TO WIN THE CONTEST.
So I'm not getting any CE T.T, I'm sad, but at the same time this contest was fun, it got me out of an artblock, and although it doesn't really look it I FIGURED OUT A WHOLE FLIPPIN' TON ABOUT DIGITAL ART which I'm more than happy with, and my birthday is in like, 11 days. SO. YUP. I'm just gonna go play spiral knights now.
TL:DR= WHATS WRONG WITH YOU JUST READ WHAT I WROTE I'M NOT PARAPHRASING FOR YOU IT'S LIKE ONE WHOLE PARAGRAPH I JUST USE ENTER A LOT GEEZ DON'T BE SUCH A JERK.
Still working on my submission, been a little busy but here's the progress so far, haven't even been on spiral knights in a few weeks.

Feedback would be awesome!
Good luck to all the artists.
Shoebox is going to have a hard time picking winners. Good luck to all the artists!
I feel for the artists finding time to work on their SK art. I still haven't had the time to sculpt or get all the materials I need to turn a plushy into a robot. Think I'll settle for sculpting in Fimo when I get the time.
Meanwhile, I did make another wallpaper art, this time specifically for Shoebox's competition. The first thing I submitted was mostly for filler when there was only a few entries up.
For all the people who have had awful luck with the Alchemy Machine, and for all of our friends from Asia, this wallpaper is for you. It's from my Japanese and Chinese background. I even have mixed chop marks in Japanese for Cat and my chop mark in Chinese. The focal is a Spiral Knights style Maneki Neko, the beckoning cat. He is also called a Sushi Cat or Fortune Cat because you usually see him at the front of MOST Asian restaurants, stores and arcades. The kanji on the treasure box means something like 10 million crowns. Think that comes out to about 190000 CE. Maneki Kat sure thinks big in a cosmic way!
Good luck and Happy Holidays to those in the states!
Time to make teriyaki marinade for the weekend BBQ, fireworks and Mech Miniatures tournament.
The entry!
You see a nice illustration of you, I'm very happy

It's cute with Wolver(*´∀`*)
@siegefault: If the entries end up winning, you can choose to distribute the prizes yourselves.
I think I might be extending this competition, just because that new boss is coming up and there really isn't a whole lot in the Dapper or Crossover Categories at the moment.
There's still a week to go, so we'll see how the entries go in a few more days, then I'll decide.
I present you my most likely disqualified entry, behold: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Spookat.gif
my handcraft Devilite plush: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Fanart-Rits_devilite-.jpg
I don't think anyone has submitted any pixel art yet, so here!
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Tokin_SKsprite_Fin.png
I wanted to make a whole mock-up of the Vanaduke battle but yeah..this took long enough :)
Managed to finish something...hopefully I'll have one more thing done, just need to figure out a background (backgrounds are my nemeses...).
It's tileable!: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Tileable-mashup.png
The three panels (all tileable on their own or in any combination) (if you like one over the other for your own personal use) are here:

No Specials panel: http://twitpic.com/5kyry0

@Pupu: That is pure awesome. I tip my helmet to you, good sir.
>Shoebox:
Good to know about my cousin's entries. If either of the two he drew and I colored make it to the finals, I'd like the winnings and credit to go to him.
However, since I feel like I should enter too, I give a WIP of the Clockwork Rest Stop: http://tinyurl.com/43vjcrh
Depending on how quick I finish this, I might even be able to knock out another!
EDIT: Got an update: http://tinyurl.com/4x23he9
EDIT2: And again!: http://tinyurl.com/6ets8l7
Wow siegefault, that is actually quite nice, even if its not done (which it actually looks like it is) it is awesome, I hope you win something man.
i secretly hope that three rings might remember me when i graduate. San Francisco is nice i hear.
It's very exciting seeing the community's artwork. Everyone is doing a very nice job. I love seeing all the different styles that have been brought in to the competition! Just witnessing everyone's progress astounds me. *-* Keep working hard! ^-^
I've been crazy busy and barely able to work on my entry. I'm going to see if I can set aside the next five days to work on my submission. I should be able to complete it in its entirety by then~
Question for Shoebox: I guess I'm kind of dense after reading everyone's post. I'm still not sure if you want it to be our account name or our main character name; I like to be 100% sure. Maybe I've overlooked it? People were saying username on the first page but not exactly sure. Sorry for the inconvenience!
i hope 3 ring catches on to my 3D designs...
i kinda need a job freelancing some models ¬¬;
VidGameDude: I've looked over and over at your models and can't for the life of me figure out if these are intended to be for this particular contest or what. It seems to me if you're just trying to get a job at OOO you'd be better off writing a resume and sending it to them.
Shoebox: Any update on if the deadline will be extended? I ask because it makes a bit of a difference in when I will post my submission. :-)
I was bored, so I played with Photoshop a bit... for some reason, I find this picture kind of amusing, so I decided to enter this contest.
Maybe someone will like it :)

Any update on if the deadline will be extended?
I'll wait a little longer before I say anything.
The extension is more for the benefit of people who are working on stuff that might not be able to finish it on time, rather than people who have finished their work and want more time to polish it.
Pushing the deadline 1 week would be great. I cannot finish my entry with this deadline because of medical problems.
I guess I should've put my question as: @Shoebox? I'll just assume it's what's on the front and not what was debated on the front page.
I suppose either way, I should be able to finish my entry by the dead line but pushing the deadline wouldn't hurt either. I will be able to handle whichever. Also, inferring the submissions are closed right at 12:00 pm on the 10th and not at the end of the 10th.
(Apologies for the seemingly obvious questions. I love detail and want to make sure I have the right interpretation.)
Extend the deadline please.
im here struggling to finish my entry, i don't think i could make it in time.
school and all. (and not to mention i just found out about this contest a week ago)
My entry, which is far from finished : [link]
Still not sure if I could finish it in time because of university's work on my part. (But I don't mind the deadline.) So I put this on just in case. Let me know what you think. :)
EXTENDED, I shall work on something else
I'm coming into this contest pretty late. I think I have enough time to finish my entry, but I dunno. I'll just try as best as I can.
I have almost completed two pieces of work, and will be posting them to this competition soon.
Good Luck to everyone who is entering and I love some of the work that the people so far have been producing
:)
I actually got around to drawing something new spiral knight related, hope you guys enjoy it.
I was torn between putting up the drawing I did, or the drawing I did in a magic card, but I don't think anyone would get the joke unless the knew my friend that the drawing is of. So I went with the original.
Probably the final version I'm going with. Will upload to the wiki later tonight when I'm positive.
I just submitted two just to see if one could win but currently they aren't showing up even though I have the tags I think I'm doing it right. Not sure how long it takes before it will show up.
tag is this correct? {{Shoeboxartcontest|Niisun}}
The one I made from the bosses is unfinished but it's at least at a stage that i'm not completely ashamed to just throw it out there.
My other one is Resident Knights
I wondered which artist made the picture called "Reiraa" as seen here: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Reiraa.png
From all the beautiful artwork I've decided to print this one out, frame it and hang it onto my wall (because it just looks like my ingame char). Is 1600x1200 the highest resolution available for it?
edit: http://media.spiralknights.com/wiki-images/8/8c/SK_catsnipe.jpg
This picture would go along well with the other because it catches the same happy mood. Sadly the resolution is definately too low to get a nice poster out of it. If the artist can turn it into a higher res this would be amazing.
Good evening! I drew a chroma HENTAI!
Japanese "Moe" was aware of the
Thank you:)
(Link removed: while the art skill is obvious, that's not an appropriate subject. Sorry. Keep it PG-13 and under, please. - Hyperion)
Since I see no deadline extension I just posted what I had now. I was gonna add a knight too but yeah. :I
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Realistical_snarbolax.png
I don't have faith in my entry anymore, but why not submit it anyway. .-. yay there go 7 hours of work.
I'm going to extend this competition an extra week, to the 17th of July.
Just because that extra weekend to do stuff should help a lot of you out and give people who recently found the competition time to get their entries done.
Obviously, judging won't be immediate.
So while entries are closed, if you have something to hand in that isn't done (like a certain Sir Snarbs robot plushy with lazer beam eyes), I will accept it as a late entry as long as you e-mail me first at: spiral-shoebox@hotmail.com
If you don't think an extra week is enough, then you're just gonna have to get a TARDIS.
... So that means I won't be able to edit my entry in case I finish it?
Oh whatever.
I just decided to do one for fun and enter with this one. If I win something yay if not oh well haha I wish in a good mood drawing it. I had this image of a human child Spiral Knight with is little Divine Veil helmet, mini Divine Avenger sword, and of course a t-shirt with a Snipe on it. Just a quick sketch, didn't really try to get any details, but it was fun drawing it.
Could I upload a Youtube musical poopish thing?
It would be a video so.....
/sadface
Ugh ok, I haven't even gotten any progress on anything, thanks for extending.
I'm gonna try and get my tablet fixed this week, seriously, mouse drawing is to slow.
Another week! Just what i needed!
Thanks alot!
Good luck to everyone! =]
I spent quite abit on this painting,
I made one to be similar to the spiral knights background composition, and added the same tiling
to my painting to make it as my background... and i felt i would like to share it along with the original painting

Good thing for me, since I was hit with some nasty art block.
Now to procrastinate some more...

I'm having trouble uploading my picture to the wiki.
If someone could help me out that'd be awesome.
This is my submission.
1. Make sure your file is smaller than 2M
2. Use this page: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Special:Upload
3. Paste {{Shoeboxartcontest|mrsoqui}} into the Summary box.
Does that work?
In case anybody cares, more WIPs http://oi56.tinypic.com/5duk50.jpg
