Competition: Bombhead Concepts ~ Winners Announced
So, 08/12/2012 - 01:59
Hosting the first ever, bombhead concept competition. I'm honestly sick and tired of seeing a rather lax number of bombheads, where is the shadow, kingly, evil, and slime bombheads? Where is the explosive head gear of wonder and awe which causes one to turn heads and invoke emotions of fear and wonder. Well, unless OOO plans to release anything it's down to you to put your creative mind and artistic talents to the test creating the latest in bombhead fashion. Make them wacky, zany, awesome, or unique. Whatever the case, I want to see NEW bombheads.
- Entrants will be judged on artistic execution and overall concept.
- Applicants may not use recycled or already produced work.
- The grand winner will receive a prize of 2k ce.
- Participants may enter as many concepted bombheads as they like.
- The deadline for this competition is on September the 9th (11:59 pm. cst)
Want a shot at winning some ce but don't have artistic talent?
Then today is your lucky day, spread the word about this competition to your more artistically inclined friends and family. If they mark you as their refferal and win the grand-prize, you nab yourself a cool 500 ce. Not too bad for talking to people about happenings on the forums.
For those of you interested in making an entry make a post with the following information.

Edit: The competition has been closed. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to decide between several applicants and as such I have opted to release two prizes of 2k ce each. Further more, to ensure noone goes home empty handed. All participants shall receive 250 ce as my thanks for your cooperation. The entrants were as follows.

And Now For Something Completely Different . . .
My bombastic creation is dedicated to a special someone in Spiral Knights whom we all shamelessy blame for everything that goes wrong in game.
This suspicious guy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Knight Name:
Raspberry
Describe how your drawing was created (the medium):
Drawn and rendered with an unhappy mouse using GIMP and Corel Photo Paint. (My new Wacom 9x12 arrives this week!)
The name/description of the completed bombhead:
The Holy Hand Grenade of Boswick
The gemstones on this golden bomb bear the color of Boswick's eyes. If you look closely, you can see OoO on the surprized face of this regal bomb.
This bomb has never worked right. It's the bomb that Punch and Vice stole from Cory Sponseller's desk one day and accidentally rendered Vatel homeless.
If you ever see this bombhead:
- DO NOT RETURN IT TO BOSWICK!
- DO NOT WEAR IT
- DO NOT EAT IT
- DO NOT USE IT AS A GUILD DISCO BALL
- DO NOT RETURN IT TO BOSWICK!
URL for finished picture (including your knight name and date of completion in the image):
Same picture of the infamous bomb.

- Knight Name
- Oatmonster
- Describe how your drawing was created (the medium)
- Photoshop CS4 and a mouse :P
- The name/description of the completed bombhead(s)
- "Shadow Bombhead Mask"
I'm not really sure it's a 2k ce picture so I may redo it if I get the chance. As for the description, you could go with the classic "A mask commissioned by King Krogmo to celebrate the launch of Blast Network that curiously resembles a live bomb. Available in a wide variety of styles, there is likely one to match any armor set."
Or maybe go with "A bombhead mask fashioned after the stories of knights who fought the beast, and lived." - URL

Snipe Bomb ~ Dogrock Edition
Knight Name:
Raspberry
Describe how your drawing was created (the medium):
Drawn with a Wacom tablet and mouse using GIMP and Corel Photo Paint.
The name/description of the completed bombhead:
This bomb just oozes cuteness, confetti and bromance ala EoS. The bombhead is dedicated to Dogrock who made his own homemade snipe hat a year ago. Dog has been instrumental in helping with Obsidian events on the Wiki.
The snipe bomb concept was initially caught on video at Cobalt's super secret bomb lab. You will need to hunt down this taboo video on Youtube: Spiral Knights [The Snipe Bomb] by BlazingCobalt.
Dogrock's Snipe Bomb should be used with caution and a keg of beer.

Congrats to all winners [: Some really cool concepts!
On a side note: I'm not sure how long on the wait, but I did not receive participation ce as of yet.
(Sorry if this is a petty question)
Submission 1:
Knight Name:
Tersakoff
Describe how your drawing was created (the medium):
Paint Tool SAI, digitally. Added a neat lineart some shading.
The name/description of the completed bombhead(s):
Thudner Bombhead (or Heavy)
"A bombhead forged with a hammer possessing the force of the thunders themselves. It is meant to give its wearer a menacing and powerful look"
Not sure about aquiring. 300 Krogmo coins? Maybe included in a "Thunder" promo (not with the box model.. -.- ) but that would need other items too. I'unno. Or 120 RT tokens? :o
URL for finished picture (including your knight name and date of completion in the image):
Here
Name of the knight who referred you (if any):
Thunderbog
I took a more out-of-the-box approach to a bombhead on this one, going out of bounds and making it look different.
Submission 2
Knight Name:
Tersakoff
Describe how your drawing was created (the medium):
Paint Tool SAI, digitally. Kept it concept-arty-sketchy.
The name/description of the completed bombhead(s):
Vanaduke Bombhead
"A bombhead with Lord Vanaduke's mask masterfully attached to it trough unknown means. Some knights say they can even feel the Duke's grim glance when looking into the eyes of the mask. It's hot to the touch"
Would cost 120 Almirian Seals. Colors are picked from Almirian Crusader Armor. Grey around the mask is from the arm, white from the garb, and volcanic reds from the pants. Everything yellow is personal color. Fuse has a trail.
