I am continually amazed at the beautiful (ok, sometimes horrifying) and unique ways knights accessorize their gear. Crests are a nice little pop of color or a way to make a bold statement about your exploits in the clockworks. They would also be a great way to show a little guild pride and let everyone know what a great group of knights have banded together in your guild.
Your objective is to create a 2D drawing of a crest representing your guild. If you aren't a member of a guild, imagine your ideal guild and create a crest. Write a short (1-2 sentences) description of the symbols on your crest and include the name of your guild.
Deadline: Deadline for entries is August 20 at 11:59 PM game time.
Entry Thread: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/61353
Prizes: Winners will be able to pick between a 30 day elevator pass or a pocket monster (Chroma Whelp, Love Puppy, and Mewkat). The number of winners will be determined by the number of entries, but there will be at least 2 prizes awarded. Additional, smaller prizes may be give out if I feel moved.
Submission Guidelines:
- Create a 2D crest for your guild. Use can use any medium you would like - paint, crayons, pastels, artpad, or other digital art program.
- Take at least 2 photos/screenshots of the drawing. 1 should be of your work in progress. 1 should be of your final project and must include your knight name and the date it was completed in the image. This can be added on your art, or written on a card that is placed in the photo. Entries which do not have both the knight name and date of completion will be disqualified from judging.
- Host your photos online at a site such as imageshack or photobucket.

Q&A:
I'll be keeping this area updated with important questions asked in the thread.
Q: Will these be added to the game in a future guild update?
A: No, these are just for fun.
Q: Any size restrictions?
A: Nope!
Q: Can I submit art I've already made?
A: No, for this event it needs to be original art that was created specifically for this event.
Q: Can I host my images somewhere else besides photobucket or image shack?
A: Yes, you can host your images anywhere that is convenient for you, as long as you can provide a direct link to your crest in your entry.
Will the user-made guild crest get incorporated into the game (if they give you permission to do it) with the guild hall update? Just wondering.
Also, How big it needed to be for the crest? (letter sized paper or no restrictions)
