Competition: Troika Concepts ~ Winners Announced!
Mi, 11/28/2012 - 17:07
So uhh, Troika Troika Troika Troika annnnnd *Inhales deeply* moar Troikas. If you thought Tsuba was the only Troika obsessed person around here you would be sorely mistaken. I give birth to my darling Troikas every single day, I wield my beautiful Triglav like a boss, and have been running around with one since I was a proto-nub. Thing is, no matter how many children I spawn, it depresses me that their choices in life are always so minoot. Suda or Triglav. Stun or Freeze. Yellow or Blue. The road so narrow, and the fork in it so meaningless that it might not exist at all. At least, until now.
That's where you come in, my wonderful and talented individuals. Go into your workshops, close the doors on your armories, and find your tools. Dream me up and put together more Troikas. I want to see full concepts of new Troika lines 3*-5*. Yet, don't stop at the unused statuses; fire, poison, curse, or sleep (and technically Shock). Feel free to get more creative. Base your Troika lines on one of the six monster families: Fiend, Beast, Construct, Undead, Gremlin, Slime. Show continuations of the current lines, such as a six-star version of the Triglav or Suda (actually, I would quite like to see that) Or simply think outside the box and come up with something truly unique. You guys are a creative and talented bunch. I know you can generate something spectacular.
All entries must include:
- The 3*, 4*, and 5* version of the line (with exceptions for 6* concepts)
- A full name and description for each star-level
- Knight Name and date of completion
- At minimum, a basic sketch of the 5* version in action.
Potential Prizes:
- Grand Prize ~ 5k ce
- Two Runner Up Prizes ~ 2.5k ce
- Most Unique Concept ~ 1k ce
- Best Artistically Executed Design ~ 1k ce
- Most Complete Concept ~ 1k ce
Ie. full concept sheet, multiple angles, effective descriptions, charge attack depicted, full art depicting the 5*, tooltip pages with damage bars, crafting requirements, etc , etc , etc . . . - Best use of spiral spy. ~ 1k ce
- Best *cough* cameo *cough* ~ 1k ce
- Community's Choice! ~ 1k ce (see below)
- Participation reward of 50 ce per person.
- Refferal rewards: 25 ce per person, 500 ce for reffering grand-prize winner.
Community's Choice Award:
At the end of the contest, there will be a 3-day window in which members of this forum community will get to vote for their favorite design. Upon the end of the January 31st, absolutely anyone who desires may make a post in this thread casting their vote. Voting will remain open until 6pm (cst) upon the day of Troikamas. ~ One vote per person, voting participants may choose up to three designs.
Formal Ceremonies at Troikamas!:
A formal ceremony will be hosted on February 3rd at Troikamas in addition to other events, games, and prizes! So come join your fellow Troika enthusiasts for fun, merriment, and the largest collection of Triglav/Suda in one place!
Additional Rulings about the contest:
- Applicants may not use recycled or pre-produced work.
- Participants may enter as many Troika lines as they are able. (with a focus on quality over quantity)
- The deadline for this competition is on Janurary the 31st, 2013 (11:59 pm. cst) ~ may be subject to change
Comeon guys, I would love a Troika for Christmas ^_^ - Discussion in this thread is welcomed and encouraged.
- Any medium is acceptable as long as it meets the aforementioned requirements of the contest.
- Incomplete entries will not qualify for participation nor refferal rewards.
- If possible, put all the information of the Troika line on a single sheet. The line, descriptions, names, etc, etc. Makes keeping track of things easier.
Things I will be keeping in mind about the entries:
- Does the line look like it evolved from a Troika? You guys need to keep in mind that the base weapon you are drawing concepts for already exists. While you guys have a lot of freedom as to where you take the evolution itself, I want to see the step-by-step as to how you got there.
- Do the names and descriptions add to the design? These concepts are just about the art as much as the logistics behind them. Effective names and descriptions go a long way to fleshing out a weapon.
- Does the action-image of the Troika line provide a good "feel" for the weapon? The entire intention of seeing the 5* variant (at minimum) in action is help break away from the very static nature of the concept. It provides a feel for how the weapon will preform in combat, or simply more to it's back-story and origins.
- Are additional details of the weapon provided, be it crafting requirements, damage ratings, etc, etc? Because a fully fleshed out concept is an effective one.
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 you nab 25 ce. Easy as that. Put simply, if you refer 4 people, you'll get 100 ce. Not a bad deal for making idle conversation. Also , should your refferal win the grand-prize you will receive an additional 500 ce
For those of you interested in making an entry, post with the following information.
Knight Name:
Describe how your image was created (the medium):
The name/description of the completed Troika line:
URL for finished concept (including your knight name and date of completion in the image):
Name of the knight who referred you (if any):
Wishing you all the best of luck. If you have any questions, contact me in-game at "Tdlob" or leave a post here.

How can we make it?
Do you prefer a specific medium, or is any way fine?
Mi, 11/28/2012 - 20:28

Mediums eh?
Traditional, Digital, etc, etc...
As long as it meets the requirements of showing a full line and progression of a Troika, you dream it up and I'll accept it.

Idea for haunted troika!
Hmmm... my idea is a hallow troika. But i can't imagine name... Let's try. 4* Hallowed Troika (Sedge?), 5* Devilish Troika. (Sealish?) (TROIKA NAMES SU*KS
4*: Old haunted weapon from Cradle abyss... only greatest exploers can find recipcipe. Around it are the unfortunate souls who died in battle. Special attack: 180 with wave of souls.
5*: Same desc as 4* but *bla bla* better etc. Special attack: Stronger attack 180 with wave of souls but after soul you charge like normal troika with small *boom*
Nixenai... 29.11.12. If you want hour ill add. But it's Poland hour 9:28

In Response
@Dmatter: Upload your completed images to a hosting service such as deviantart or photobucket from where you can post a link here to the image.
@Klear: Yes that's the basic idea. Be it wielded by a knight, gremlin, or something.. else.. smashing heads, cracking skulls, or just looking cool. I'm giving you guys a lot of flexibility as to what "action" means.
@Tuddles: It means I take 50 ce, send it to an alt, send that ce to another alt, feed it to a snipe, chop it half, recover the ce, transfer into cr, invest that cr into a chap, sell that chap, get more ce, and then I'll have 50 ce. Simple.
@Shadowknifer: No worries, I understand if you have been busy.

Oh well, at least I have a month to work on this.............................Hey, are we allowed to work together? Lets say 2 people submit a piece of artwork, could we share the rewards 50/50?

Lumber-inspired troika line
Knight name: Uuni
Date of completetion: 2nd of December 2012
Picture: http://tinyurl.com/bqedb6c
Programs used: GIMP 2.8
Description:
3* = Splinter
"Sword crafted from a huge driftwood plank, crudely chopped and causes more splinters than cuts"
4* = Timbercleave
"A strong sword carved from redwood, it freshens the air around it via photosynthesis"
5* = Lumberlance
"This mighty blade was crafted from the finest ironwood in the clockworks. It's sharp edge cuts as well as causes heavy blunt trauma"
About the line:
-normal & elemental damage (just like lumbers)
-regular troika 2hit combo
-charging is fairly quick but deals low damage
-you can't turn while charging but you can move around
-knocks back and stuns enemies hit by the charge attack
(sorry for no colour, splinter is pale and the bark is light brown, timbercleave is pale and the bark is dark reddish brown, lumberlance is pale and the bark is almost black)
EDIT: edited the names from placeholders to real ones

Wild Magikarp Appears!
So, I was poking around the Wiki, and checked out the Troika page. And I noticed...
The Troika has leafy stuff on it!!!!!!
But...The Sudaruska line and Triglav line have no such foliage present.
THEREFORE.
I created a leaf line Troika.
Because, why not?
Knight Name: Cleavingcut
Describe how your image was created (the medium): MS PAINT! Can't beat it.
The name/description of the completed Troika line: Leaf-theme, you have your Folium, your Rubi, and your Arbor. The 4* and 5* have leafy aura things floating around it. The swords will probably deal piercing damage, because leaves aren't elemental or shadow, and are kinda sharp. Kinda...Plus we need a piercing heavy sword. For statuses, it causes freeze...wait, no, fire, because leaves are flammable. Though, leaves contain water which is a great conductor, so maybe shock? BLAH! Screw it, this thing causes SLEEP! From all the residual spores on it!

Name of the knight who referred you (if any): If I referred myself, does myself get the bonus? :D
This was the best I could come up with in this day, I'll possibly add more at a later date (possibly during winter break)

Canine Vladmir Entry
[Entry not 100% complete, will do finishing touches if you like what im doing]
Knight's Name:Canine-Vladmir
Date of Completion:started on 12/03/2012 currently not finished
Basic Sketch of the 5* Version in action: http://i48.tinypic.com/hwzt4y.jpg http://piq.codeus.net/static/media/userpics/piq_68750_400x400.png
Backstory!/Storyline!
Back when there was only Groundbreakers, an elitist group of Icorians wanted to pursue their goals of staying on Cradle and enslave the inhabitants to mine the planet's valuable resources. Refused by the Spiral Order, the Rebels enlisted any weak minded knight pursuing after riches. With a small army, they fought the Spiral Order with shadow weapons no one had seen or will never see again.
After the rebels where defeated, the leader escaped into the clockworks. All that was left was his sword.
It currently resides in the SO Archives.
Weapon Description
3* Fury
One of the very first sword design that was meant to end the Spiral Order. This design was later scrapped for a more vicious deadly sword.
4* Venger
One of the first Reprisal weapons out on the battlefield. Victims of these brute weapons where said to be sent to Limbo.
5* The Oblivion http://i48.tinypic.com/1gi2a0.png
Used during a Spiral Order Revolt by Rogue Knights, this epic sword struck fear into every Knight in Cradle.
After the Revolt was ended by the Spiral Knights, this sword has long been banished.
Weapon Stats
Each and every sword forged has strong normal attack and shadow attack.

If I weren't Cheese, why would I allow myself to live?
I'm in the process of doing a Undead themed line as I type. Well... Not literally since I use both hands to type and can't draw with my feet... Not that I've tried or anything- Anyway. Undead. I'll get it up when I've done them all.

I've done the "base" so far. More progress in the coming weeks.

Looks like I have been a good little knight this year.
@Autofire: I don't see why not, I imagine the initial artist would be flattered.
@Doom-Xx: While I am aware a Shock Troika exist in the game file, there does not currently exist a full line to the 5* nor a shock troika available for use in-game. Therefore, concepting a full shock troika line is free game.
@Canine-Vladmir: Looking great so far. The action sketch is good.
@Sir-Wuddle: Dat comic, my god man. Made my freaking day.
Thank you everyone for your continual participation, and early Troikamas gifts <3
Looking forward to what you guys continue to produce.

The papaya is suspicious
@Tantarian
There's something strange about that Troika of yours, it reminds me of something, although I can't just place my finger on it............ Maybe I'm just being paranoid ^^
EDIT: I know, it looks a lot like the Ringblade from Dota 2 ^^ I should play the game again :P Haven't in ages.............
@Tdlob-Forums
Due to recent tests and exams, I've been unable to work on my Troika design. I'm starting today ^^
And how will our design be judged? Hopefully its not by "How epic your Troika looks and weather you used digital art or not" or "How good your drawing skills are" :(

Stun-shocking troika
Sorry but i'm not to good at drawing.So i'll not include the picture.
The troika name will be Trollika......hehehehe
My IGN is flareminute
Well......i don't actually care if i'll win or not.
Yah just playing around with the forum and give some comment
This is a 5* weapon.
The 4* will be called Jokerin.And the 3* will be Derpiglav.
Wish you happy christmas and happy new year(sorry early greeting because i open the forum rarely).
Even if i can't entry you can use my idea for sure.

The Papaya Speaks
While the primary and required medium of this contest is indeed one of art. Having a high degree of skill and ex ecution is just one part of the contest. Additionally, you are free to use any medium you are comfortable with. I'm more interested in what you do with that medium than the medium itself. When looking at the entries I will be keeping a couple things in mind.
- Does the line look like it evolved from a Troika? You guys need to keep in mind that the base weapon you are drawing concepts for already exists. While you guys have a lot of freedom as to where you take the evolution itself, I want to see the step-by-step as to how you got there.
- Do the names and descriptions add to the design? These concepts are just about the art as much as the logistics behind them. Effective names and descriptions go a long way to fleshing out a weapon.
- Does the action-image of the Troika line provide a good "feel" for the weapon? The entire intention of seeing the 5* variant (at minimum) in action is help break away from the very static nature of the concept. It provides a feel for how the weapon will preform in combat, or simply more to it's back-story and origins.
- Are additional details of the weapon provided, be it crafting requirements, damage ratings, etc, etc? Because a fully fleshed out concept is an effective one.
I'll update this list as things come to mind. If you have any additional questions either leave them here or contact me in-game at "Tdlob"
Looking forward to Troikamas!

"Comeon guys, I would love a
"Comeon guys, I would love a Troika for Christmas ^_^"
If I get round to it, I'll try making one instead of procrastinating xD
But so far...Found out measurements for the troika approximate to the length of the curvy bit :D. The whole length of the sword minus the hilt and curved section = the length of the curved section times 2.75
The part of the hilt that is not held (the part between the blade and where you put your hand) is .5 of the curvy bit
The part of the hilt that is held down the the end of the troika (and 3*, 4* but not 5* as the cracks elongate the sword) rounded up is 1.5 of the curvy part of the blade.
Yeah...Also, curve inward from the top to the side of the sword is at an 90 degree angle, just curvy. The curve turns into the line at 1/4 of the sword. I mean that if you really simplify the shape of the troika down to a "T" shape, and cut the top of the "T" into 4 sections, or 5 lines. The centre line, the 2 outside lines, and 2 lines between those lines, effectively dividing it into quarters. The two lines between the other lines are the first quarter, and that is where the curve ends. Do you get what I mean, if not, it's a lot easier to explain in pictures if I get round to that... xDDDDD
Yep. That's where I'm at right now.

Interesting Calculations
Quite a bit of work you have put into calculating relative sizes and lengths of a Troika. Well done Knightwalker, looking forward to your entry.
Additionally, in the spirit of generosity I've added two runner up prizes of 2.5k ce each.
That should make things a bit more interesting, no?

Edit: Also, for future reference guys. Please include the names, descriptions, and additional information about your Troikas on the concept sheet.

:( @Night-Rove
EDIT: Oh! NEVERMIND. IGNORE ALL THAT. My friend, Spiral-Sapien (I referenced him!), whose Photobucket works sent me screenshots of your troika variations! Nice job ^_^ :DDDD
The-Knightwalker is sad :(
I can't load your entry? :((((
Is it just me? Because I can't open Photobucket properly, and it doesn't load, even after 5 mins, and Photobucket only works some of the time for me, and rarely...
Um...if it's not too much to ask, and I don't want to hinder you, but could you also upload it somewhere else?
D: sorry TT_TT <"Worked REALLY hard for this D:"> Don't want to stress you anymore...
Will start it right now! Started a sketch along with that story.
Also, still working on your story commission. First part done, if you haven't seen yet. So sorry about the delay x| Lots of exams coming up... have to know too much stuff for my oncology track. =/
Again, SO sorry about the delay!
