ENTRY: Spiralspy Characters/Models

In-Game Name: Xplad
Entry Title: Dirge
Entry: http://i.imgur.com/MOfsh.png
Prize Preferences:
Participation - CR, Enamorocks,CE
1* - CR, Goggles(either), Lockbox
2* - CR, Faust rec, CE
3* - Medieval War Helm, CR, Party Hat
4* - Flawed Mask of Seerus, Mirrored Lockbox, CR
5* - CR, Nemesis box, Surge Flak

This is actually a recreation of a (unpublished) model I had on my PC before it got reformatted. I had to rush the creation of this one(made the whole damn thing in just a couple of hours, I think there's something strange going on with myself), but I think it's a pretty faithful recreation, possibly even better. The idea was to make an amalgam of all the Swarm enemies in one. It's got zombie torso and legs, gremlin arms and armor, the lumber ax, a wolver head, and those lichen spiney things.

/thinks A'm sooooooo deffs gon' get foist ploice 'n dis oire catsygory.

"Doomsday is almost upon us!"

Wow, I love photo hunts man, but this one's quite unique.

That's sure one way to make it harder on some tips. :v

(liking the beige colours, makes it look like this haven was an old town, or history of haven : then and now. XD)

Okay, Week 12 has been put to bed and winners announced; I'll get the CE sent along when I sign into the game client. Next batch of week 13 stuff to come up later!

@Plad: Thanks for the entry! Glad you could make it!

I'm pretty sure there was more I was going to say, but I've been distracted at least a dozen times by phone calls and Lydia while working on this that I forget. XD

HEY! Don't you eat that metal!

Purposely missed the 'e' the way you did it XD

Scuttlebot: B-BROTHER WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU?! ... NOT THAT I HAVE ANY EMOTION TO CARE.

Added another mini-contest today.

Also, Tev.

Since Jmtheawesome (most likely) forgot about his ipod/iphone contest that I drew something for but it was abandoned, am I allowed to enter the pic in the contest?

Armor: Heavenly Guardian Armor
Armor Accessories: Sunshine Aura + Mewkat Pocket Pet + Divine Dragon Wings + Divine Cat Tail
Shield: Grey Owlite Shield
Gun: Freeze Driver
Pose: animation_vaelyn.dat

@Artist: Sure, since the deadline has come and gone anyway. Although I'm a bit curious as to how I was a topic of conversation over your guild chat in your costume entry screenshot. XD

@Vi: Thanks for the entry!

Thanks to everyone else for the mini-contest entries!

Oh, we were talking about the contest. :D

Just letting everyone know that I've sent out reminders to all current entrants who have incomplete entry forms or missing entry links. If you didn't get an in-game mail from me about your entry, it's currently fine.

Some people have prize lists that are a little bit on the O.o side, which include items that aren't and have never been among the options. I'm letting those slide for now, but want to remind everyone that the final prize option list will be posted after judging (I'll let you know when it's available), and you'll have a few days to make changes after that before I finish making assignments. If you only have two items in a category or an extra item or two, no big deal, but it's nice to know when your list is/isn't in order of preference.

Thanks everyone!

@Remilia and Topo: Thanks for the entries!

@Everyone: Creeping up on the 1000th post! Whoever that poster is will get a prize, although I'd like to remind everyone that spamming to get there isn't allowed.

I'll be keeping the poll for the Award Ceremony time up until the contest close time so that anyone else who wants to weigh in on it can.

So, this here creator of this here contest has given me permission to host my own minigame!
It is based on this here entry.

Guess at the names of the equipment described in the poem!

Hint:
They are.. as one? The poem.. er... Vog, I'm horrible at giving hints!
Anyways, lessee... they.. are.. um.. will be... similar. Yes. Similar. So imagine them as being almost the same, except.. Vog it, I really am horrible!
Except for their differences. Yup. They're similar except for their differences. Does that help?
Also, pay close attention to what may seem as random phrases. They may be the key.

Assuming that I haven't given it all away nor have said too little for you to be able to find the anwers, enjoy!
Owait... I forgot the prizes.
First place will be a choice between Hallow Fur Cap and 100 CE.
Second place will have the remaining first prize.
Third places/runner-ups will have some unknown amount of crowns/CE/Hallow Confetti.

Enter by mailing your answers to me as Remiliaoftheearth.
If you can't, Tev has offered to provide her tumblr and email as alternate forms of entering.

Prizes will be given out at the Ceremony if I can make it; otherwise, I'll deliver them by mail.

Note: The poem has been edited to specify somethin'. All currant entrants please note and edit entries as wished.

When you do update the final prize lists, could you please send an in-game mail to me saying that they have been updated? I have reasons for wanting to look, even though I cannot win anything.

Also .. wow. I don't know how I started playing a game with such creative, talented people. That hand-crafted Royal Jelly Crown... and many many other entries have been blowing me away.. I'm glad I can help provide some of the prizes.. that's the least I can do.

Edit: Just noticed that over 8,200 threads have been posted since this one.. and this contest is still going. Wow.

No problem! I'll let you know. ^.^

I'll be honest in saying that I've seen this thread go on for so long and I disregarded it's existence completely. But now that this contest is almost over, I decided to finally give this a go. Semi-late entry FTW! This is my first attempt in digital art, so be gentle with me. :)

This is going under the Artwork: Knights Category.

In-Game Name: Blueknighter
Entry Title: Kewl Pose

I might come up with another entry and post it later. Not sure tho. :P

That 1000 post shall be mine! :D

I'm too competitive. I shall drench that competitiveness by not getting the 1000th post.
It pulls at my soul D:

NO. I will be the 1000th post, even if I have to get banned for spamming a post + 10 times >_>

EDIT: 5 days to finish a fan fic... darn.... curse you school work! MY ENTRY IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE!

T-MINUS 15 POSTS TILL 1000

So, just wondering :3, how does your judging process go exactly?

T-MINUS 14 POSTS TILL 1000

http://depapier.tumblr.com/post/36631217792/minicontestentry

Winter Queen Vi, haha.

Helm: Volcanic Demo Helm
Helm Accessories: Heavy Glasses, Heavy Mech'tennas, Heavy Headband, Prismatic Plume
Armor: Surge Draped Armor
Armor Accessories: Snowfall Aura
Sword: Glacius
Shield: Blizzbreaker Shield

...I wish I had a Surge Draped Armor and Snowfall Aura xD But idk if I'd put them together or not.

@Blueknighter: Thanks for the entry! But you've been ignoring me? Awwww .... :(

@Hexlash: Consider this your one finger-shaking. XP But I have a judging matrix for each category type where I assign points for different things.

@Vi: Thanks for the mini-contest entry.

Yeah what a mean thing to say!
I would never ignore Tev! /dies

This was made a little while ago, but i like it :)

haha vifig...mines fire king pb :P

@Pb: heheh great minds think alike? :D

Haha, it's okay Vi .... I've been known to ignore long-running threads in my time, too. I was being melodramatic.

Honestly, contests that run too long tend to get fewer entries because people A) figure they have plenty of time when they first see it and then forget to do anything or B) assume the host will forget/lose interest before the end. That's why I've been doing games and giveaways every week, to make sure people remember.

xD I ignore plenty of threads. Just wouldn't ignore yours :D

@vifig... or completely opposite? LOL

I consider it two manifestations of the same pattern.

ACCIDENTAL DUPLICATE, PLEASE MOVE ALONG AND IGNORE.

I'm sorry Tev! Don't kill me! /hide in a corner
But can you accept my friend request in-game?
EDIT: Holy crap. I have no idea why there is a double.... omg why... that sounds so sarcastic for some reason, but honestly, I have no idea why that posted twice......... /kill me now
EDIT 2: I will give up the chance to get 1000th because I (guess) have been ''spamming' poor Tev... :"C
EDIT 3: YAY! Thanks Tev! :D But I'm too scared to make a new post......

@Hex: Aw, don't worry about it. I was just finger shaking over the countdown. Friended. XD

Sorry Tev! It's just that I never thought that I would actually have the time to create something for this, especially now that I'm on my last weeks of school. So I just didn't pay attention to this thread, tho I've known of it's existence.

THE DAMN GAME!!!
