Greetings, fellow knights!

Seeing that SK is aging into a lucky number birthday, and that Spring Break surfaced for this week in my area, I am hosting a contest as a way to celebrate. At first, I was planning it to be a full-on art contest, yet scrapped the idea and mix in several different selections instead for different reasons. Here are 3 selections to choose from!

I LOVE This Set! (Visual Arts)
Ever felt a very strong bond to a full set of armor based on its visual, sturdiness, abilities or overall design? Display its gloriousness in an artistic way!
From the various selections of Helms and Armor, choose one to be the main focus of your artwork. It can be done with pencil and paper, painting, an art program on your desktop, clay; You name it! You can throw in possible monsters and a scenery if you'd like, but you don't need to.

> Entering either 1 or multiple art pieces of different armor/helm sets are allowed, such as drawing all 3 Wolver lined sets, but it's not necessary. Mostly for those who can't decide between 2 or 3 favorites.
> Please have your knight's name within or next to the art piece and the numbers "4-4". This will help indicate that you've created it.
> Must be a matching helm and armor set without any add-ons of accessories. Sincere apologies to the players that like these specifically:

  • Cyclops Cap
  • Fractured/Flawed/Perfect Mask of Seerus
  • Mining Hat
  • Silvermail/Radiant Silvermail
  • Vitasuit/Vitasuit Plus/Vitasuit Deluxe
  • Any of the starting Spiral armor/helms you choose before starting the game

1's Company, 2's a Crowd, 3's a Party (Fashion)

Do you own a costume or two that has a few accessories and simplistic, yet has an appeal to it? Show it off here!
With a costume that has an accessory count ranging between 1, 2 or 3 attached, you can show off that filling all the slots isn't necessary to look stylish. You don't need to have exact screenshots of your character from the linked numbers, but anything similar to them tends to be better.

> Your knight's name needs to be included in the screenshots. This helps indicate the ownership.
> Accessories must be bound to your costume in preview. Previewing with different colors that you don't own is allowed.
> Any costume set with 4+ accessories or none at all will be overlooked during judgment. This is an overall attachment count to the costume, which can be 3 on helm/armor, 2 on helm/armor and 1 on helm/armor, 2 on helm/armor, 1 on the helm and 1 on armor, and just 1 overall attached to your costume.

My Name Is Chef (Writing)

Ever wanted to share your classic recipe of Spicy Chromalisk Drumsticks or Perfect Forbidden Fruit Snowcones? Inspire others to make something tasty!
Write a guide that includes a list of ingredients/tools/materials, preparation time and steps on how to make your dish. You can throw in images of the process or finished product if you'd like, but it's not completely necessary.

> For linked written posts, you may need to do an extra step from there; Both your Knight's name and the numbers "4-4" would need to be placed either in the description box or at the end of the written recipe document.
> The ingredients can include food items that another foreign species, who deem themselves "Humans", eat. However, make sure to have at least 1 Material to craft into your dish!

Judging

There will be 3 judges in total for all three categories. Accuracy, charm, and effort will be the main focuses next to the quality of images and slight spell checking. This will take between 1-5 days after the deadline of the contest.

Prizes

For participating in at least 1 challenge, the default prize will be 5k crowns as a thank you for contributing. Winners in each category will obtain 50k Crowns and a Love Puppy Monster Pocket!

BUT, if you do dare take the challenge and try to participate in all the groups listed...
The crowns will become 5x the amount of 1 prize!

That's right! By putting in an entry in all 3, your default participation prize will turn from 15k to 25k + a Prismatic Bolted Vee for fun. And if you win overall best, here's what you'd win!
- Chroma Whelp Monster Pocket
- Mewkat Monster Pocket
- Love Puppy Monster Pocket
- 250k crowns

So in the end, there will at least be 4 main winners; Best in each category and 1 for participating in all 3. There MAY be an honorable mention, depending on participation...

One more thing: You can edit your post any time before the deadline, but know that each time you edit it the time and date of the post changes.

Deadline is April 18, 2018 @ 12 AM/0 Hour

Good luck and much love to all! :)

Would this count?

It may seem vague, I don't know if I did this right... but the accessories on my helmet are Dangerous Com Unit and Dangerous Scarf (you can see the clippings of it.) and my armor has Recon Ranger Crest, and Anti-Personnel Spikes.

The knight is of my own, I recently just changed my in-game name, but I may keep the forum name you see, in tact.

Update from feedback.

Due to getting several questions about the entries and rules, there have been a few changes to the original post to make things more clear. Apologies for the inconveniences.

Happy Birthday to Spiral Knights! :D

[Second Category]
This is my costume! It's a Regal Spiral Crescent Helm with Regal Mech'tennas and a Regal Spiral Brigandine with Regal Side Blade (I was actually able to find a regal side blade recently to complete the look!) and Crest of Storms! (Fits my name hehe) The Crest of Storms is so good in my opinion that it could probably just be one accessory, but I think the other accessories complement it nicely :D

[Third Category]
My recipe is a Chroma-Brew Jelly Cake :D Those strange humans actually based their "cheesecake" off of this, and I've got to admit, both taste equally delicious, just a bit different! After so many times making this, I have also found out some extra tips and tricks, which I jotted down in red! Check out the recipe here! Enjoy!

Thanks again for hosting this event, and may the lucky knight win!

Category 3 - My Name is Chef

Wolver 'Dobo

This recipe is an adaptation to a Human recipe called Adobo, which is pork or chicken meat cooked in a mix of soy sauce, vinegar or juice from a fruit called calamansi, and sometimes oyster sauce. It originates from an area which I believe is called the Philippines. It is actually a pretty simple recipe, but it tastes absolutely amazing, especially when paired with rice. I was able to "gather" some of the necessary ingredients from the area, but I wasn't able to gather the pork or chicken meat. Sooooooo, the next best thing I could think of was to gather some wolver meat.

Ingredients:

    Wolver Meat (Assumed to be 500 g)
    Soy Sauce
    Vinegar or Calamansi Juice
    Water
    Rock Salt
    Ground Pepper
    Garlic
    Cooking Oil
    Bay Leaf
    Black Beans (OPTIONAL)
    Oyster Sauce (OPTIONAL)

Tools:

    Knife (Whatever you do, NEVER use a Vile Striker or a Dread Venom Striker as a knife substitute, it will cause so much internal pain and will most definitely make you wish you weren't alive)
    Chopping Board
    Cooking Pot
    Stove
    Ladle

Procedure:

    1) Prepare the necessary ingredients and tools
    2) Cut your wolver meat into bite sized pieces then set them aside.
    3) Cut your garlic into small bits. Take a tablespoon of cooking oil and put it into the cooking pot. Let it heat up for a bit, then add the garlic. Cook the garlic until it turns brown.
    4) Dump your wolver meat into the pot. Add 1/3 cup of soy sauce, 1/3 cup of vinegar or calamansi juice, 1 cup of water, 1/2 tablespoon of rock salt, as much ground pepper as you desire, and 2-3 bay leaves. If you are planning to add black beans and/or oyster sauce, I recommend adding half a cup for black beans and a tablespoon for oyster sauce.
    5) Bring to a boil, cover the pot and then cook in low heat.
    6) Let it simmer for 40-45 minutes, stirring every once in a while.
    7) Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes.

How much time does this usually take?

    Preparation of Ingredients and Tools [<1 minute]
    Cutting up of Wolver Meat [2-3 minutes]
    Cutting up of Garlic [<1 minute]
    Cooking the Wolver 'Dobo [~50 minutes]

TOTAL: ~55 minutes

Note: You may opt to go for other types of meat, such as chromalisk. If you're feeling adventurous, go for greaver meat.

Glory to Almire!

1's Company, 2's a Crowd, 3's a Party (Fashion)

The Serene and Purest Kingdom of Almire is long gone, and we don't have much knowledge or material about this State, but I am still impressed by this glorious kingdom and I love Almirian theme. Once a vibrant, beautiful realm of lush forests and sweeping plains... And a powerful empire with many legions of great knights and crusaders. It's impressive.

I love to research and study such stories and I really love this style. Especially the style of Almirian Crusader Armor. The Ivory Colour signifies the purity of Almirian People, and a heavy plated armor with a tabard really gives the knightly look to your character.

So, here I am. A living Almirian Knight in a true Almirian Armor. I thought that it would make sense to add some simple but "important" accessories, which can complement the look of the armor and make it more... realistic?

Helmet: Grey Mohawk
No, this Mohawk is not related to modern rock music or something. I like to think about it as an accessory from Antiquity, like ones carried by Greek Hoplites or Roman Centurions.

Armor: Hazardous Canteen, Grey Side Blade
1. A good canteen is an indispensable part of your equipment and always useful in a military march or your adventures around Clockworks.
2. A Small Side blade. In case if your sword is too big to open canned goods.

Hi!I participate1's Company, 2's a Crowd, 3's a Party (Fashion)

(◕‿◕) Receive a warm greeting from me (◕‿◕)

Well I'm happy to participate in this contest and so super nice ◑‿◐ (hahaha!)

This is my black set. It's mostly looking for and choosing each accssory carefully. The armor is complemented, resulting in a great complement. As a helmet I have (Wicked Sallet) and in armor I have (Sacred Grissly Wraith Armor) both helmet and armor have 3 accessories each.

Note : I also have to say that it varies a lot really much in the choice of the ideal set.
