goodness

Can't wait to see the description (and other damage things, charge attack, etc.) and all that. IMO this should be in the game as another thing your can get with Almirian Seals. Brinks, come over here!

My entry... I hope I managed to get in on time.

Knight name: Burq

Date of completion: January 31 10 pm sharp!

Describe how your image was created: Sketch in SAI painter, finished in Photoshop CS2

Weapon line name: Reaver line. Split Normal/Piercing damage.

~3* Reaver

A weapon made from an experimental and potentially dangerous idea: weapon fusion. While the original idea was to make a Snarble barb as strong a Troika, the experiment soon turn unstable, producing only this sword. Infused with piercing power from the barb, this heavy and odd colored sword shows signs for an odd and malevolent development.

-Recipe

10 red shard
3 sharp fangs
2 driftwood
1 Snarble barb

~4* Mauler

An upgraded Reaver. Already showing signs of corruption, this fierce sword deals tremendous damage and knock back to any foe unlucky enough to meet its blade. User reporting hearing a beastly, barely audible voice coming from the weapon urging them to find it a worthy prey, pulling them toward potential targets.

-Recipe

10 red shard
5 dark shard
4 sharp fang
3 swordstone
2 Redwood
1 Snarbostuffing

~5* Ravager

The finished Reaver, finally displaying it's true shape. A savage blade whose power broke its limiters, howling loudly with every swing that hits a foe as it sends it flying apart. Only strong knights with enough willpower can hope to tame its blade and its devastating power.

-Recipe
10 red shard
10 dark shard
5 brimstone
4 swordstone
3 redwood
2 silver coil
1 Nightmare Mane

Charge attack! ... slightly exaggerated in the side view.

Beep Troika, Boop More Troika.

Voting time already? O:
Well, my votes go for:
- Sacrificial Line
- Whip Line
- Scuttlebot Line

I'm hoping that I can make online it for Troikamas tomorrow, but if I can't I wish everyone the best of luck!

And Tdlob, let me know if about that whole wallpaper thing. I've got some time to work this weekend, so I'll probably be able to make it if you still want it.

Put a TL;DR on a simple vote... oh well.

First, I vote for the Whip Line:

-When crafting from star to star, none of the additions get removed, giving more of the impression of a single sword just being upgraded.
-It's got a great design, how looks like it would actually work mechanically instead of just being magic.

Second, I vote for the Scuttlebot line:

-Upgrades well, no additions removed.
-Shock is good for crowds, Trokia charges are good for crowds. Now we've got both!
-These pictures are nice and neat too!
-I want to beat up Scuttlebots with Scuttlebots.

Third, I vote for the Jelly line:

-Again, upgrades pretty well.
-A heavy piercing sword would be nice.
-I'm hungry.

TL;DR:
Whip Line.
Scuttlebot line.
Jelly line.

Are my links working? I have had a couple people say that they can't see my pictures. Let me know so I can fix the links if they don't work. I would hate to miss out because of a technical problem.

Thanks,

Well the rules say nothing

Well the rules say nothing about voting for yourself, but I think doing so would be frowned upon so I won't :P

1. Dill-Samwich for his Whip line, if that's what u do when your lazy I can't imagine what u could do when motivated :P

2. Breaker-Xd for his Windy line, the amount of detailed description is impressive, so are the 3D models

3. Tevokkia for her Villain line, which looks like she could have copy and pasted from the wiki if it actually existed ;)

Community votes!

Man, there were a lot of good designs in this competition :D
Alrighty, my votes for the Community choice goes to...

-Dill-Samwich and his Whip line: DAT DETAIL

-Happyapathy and the Sacrificial line: pretty nice concept and I love the use of Aztec weaponry, you never see that anymore :o

-Ganondwarfy and his Bombtech line: loved the idea!

Special mentions to Heavy-Duty and the gear line (loved the design but it reminded me too much of the switchaxes from monster hunter), Dembooti and the Scuttle line (loved the design but i felt like something was missing), The-Knightwalker & Xxpapaya's Love line (nice design!) and Pipochee's Ghostmane line (felt like it needed a bit more color but I loved the concept and basic design).

And good luck to everyone in the contest and the ceremony! I dont think I'll be able to attend thou :x

TEARS OF JOY.

BTW; i must say. HOT DAMN Dill-Samwich. That's amazing. (Though i'd rename it "Vana Line" or something, seeing as it's Vana's face :P)
Heavy-Duty: I love your spirit and drive! Your idea is actually pretty sweet, and well executed too!
Lizzi: Those animations are great! I wish I could use Flash (i presume?) like that.
And Everyone Else!

Also, Tdlob, Sorry for not being at Troikamas; i was a bit overloaded with real live stuff :P I hope you received my troikas though!
