Title of event: Spiral Knights Anniversary Art Contest ( Over 190k Ce In Prizes)
Njpaloozart Fair :P
This will be one of the biggest art contests for Spiral Knights. It will focus on drawings, sculptures, and any other type of art - excluding Fan-fics, poems, and any other textual art. I personally hope many players take advantage of this event and will create a lot of amazing art for Spiral Knights.
Why?:
When:
Media:
All of the artwork submitted will be blogged on Bechamel's Gossip
(The Official Echo of Silence Blog)
Link: http://bechamelsgossip.tumblr.com
Feel free to follow us on tumblr, and like any of the submissions <69.
Prizes:
Each category will have the same prizes awarded:
Consolation Prize --- Anyone that enters will receive a barrel belly or 69 Ce!!
Rules:
Judges:
As of right now this contest will only have Two Judges: myself (Njthug) and Digicom. Many of you guys may not know Digi. Since I feel it is unfair to well have only myself judge this contest, and many of the other players in this game who I can work well with are sadly in Eos. I had to try out the next best option a great friend who I trust, and can get along with very well. Oh and importantly someone who is destined to be in Echo of Silence one day.
About Digi --- He is a great guy he plays Spiral Knights for fun many of you might have seen him around with very expensive armor sets. He plays more in the Spanish Servers, and is the founder of a guild called Solo Art. He created a very nice guild hall with his own bare hands, and well honestly this guy is as honest as they come.
We are still looking for more judges, and currently the two others we are eyeing are:
Certain art pieces might be judged by the community as a whole without you knowing it so in a sense players will be picking a few winners.
How to Submit Your Art:
Post in this thread with the following format:
Questions you may have:
Will your guild members be submitting art work?
Why are you letting your guild members submit artwork?
I want this contest to allow everyone to have fun and be competitive as well. I do not know if the members from Eos will be participating, but I do hope they do since we have a lot of talented artists such as Cobalt, Waffle, Yukaberry, and Mustacheman (2manytoname)!
What type of artwork can I submit?

Title of your artwork: Jelly Bombs
Link to Artwork: full line
3*
4*
5*
In-Game-Name: Miabot
How it works:
These jellies are very destructive! How do they really work, Miabot? Well, first you gotta charge it! Then plant it on the floor.... The first explosion will shoot out 5-6 tiny jelly forms of the original (the drawing) and attach themselves to any enemy [will do some damage from initial explosion too~]. If it the enemy magically dodges (boo~), then the jellies just disappear :[ Anyways, let's go back to them being attached to the enemy, shall we? So once attached, there will be another countdown (ticking bomb style)! Boop.... Boop.... Boop.. Boop.. Boop. Boop. BOOM! The second explosion emits damage and stats (high chance of fire :3). And that my peeps, is how the jelly bomb works.
*notes:
- MAX 3 tiny jellies can be attached per enemy
- each mini jelly does 1/3 of a nitrome attack (so all three attached = same damage as one!)
- once a jelly is attached to an enemy, it can be passed around before it explodes like hot potato~
- damage does pierce and fire status
P.S. Sorry for blurry close-up photos and high rate of spelling/grammar errors D:

Title: Snipe Timer & Pupgun
Link to Artwork: http://postimage.org/image/i5kml7y45/
(Just Kidding! no color!)
In-Game Name: Fsteak
How it works: The Snipe Timer when set down has an indicator of when it will explode and when it does it pops open in half and a swirling beam of lasers stream out. (Like how the Dark Retribution explodes but the attack will resemble that of a snipe taking off for flight.) Also it cheeps when it's about to blow!
The Pupgun fires a strong laser shot similar to the Valiance line and barks like a gun puppy when it opens to fire. The last 5 star model would be more like an arm cannon where it would attach to the knights hand and a bit of his arm (Like Megaman blaster) and fires like before but when charged it emits a channeled laser beam to damage enemies and instead of barking it howls slowly dying down as the laser beam does. This dies down after awhile and can't be held for an infinite amount of time.
Before I forget these are both Normal Type weapons.
-Didn't get to work on it much but I added info on it! Also couldn't think of names so they're very lame :D hurhurhur
Well considering that they are two totally different looking weapons (Gun and Bomb) I would have to say it counts as two entries in one category. Very nice work tho I can't wait to read the description the gun idea seems ubber interesting I wonder how it will shoot.

1 comic strip idea = please do if possible easier to judge and ppl cant argue it counts as more than 2 entries since comic strip version = 1 entry
Okayz! Ill edit!

I don't know what category this is but i wrote a spiral knights parody for dumb ways to die
Spiral knights version: dumb ways to die
Walk on to some fire
Use proto in Vana's lair
A F K from your Lockdown base
Go after some recons in fruitless chase.
Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die
Did you bring the wrong loadout
Your fang of vog's charge burned you out
Left with vana alone
Slags just flew my way, was it your friend's nitronome
Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die
Did you trash your guild from the inside
Step away from a striker's stride
Ask for every single thing you see
Book of dark ritual to a N P C
Dumb ways to die, so many ways to die
Oops you hit an explosion block
Did that jelly come straight out of a block
Kicked while fighting a legion
"Trapped in a corner by a Trojan!"
Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die
Trapped in a vortex and tried to get away
You just got scammed and it isn't your day
In a shadow lair SNAP! the power went out
At the boss and lagbite makes you lose the fight
Halfyway through lockdown, uh oh your screen just freezed
They may not ryhme but they’re quite possibly
Dumbest ways to die ie
Dumbest ways to die
Dumbest ways to die
So many dumb
So many dumb ways to die
Be sure to get better internet: A message for all Knights

Omg, you are fishing kidding me. Apparently, I mis-read the details of the contest. I thought it ended on the 4TH OF MARCH, turns out its the 4TH OF APRIL /epic papaya-palm. The bright side is, I get to work on the digital version of my drawings ^^ The bad side.......well........not much :P
@Shuishui (shuichi :P)
Yay ^^ Music accessories, time to draw even more >:) Well, pity I can't do the aura, but oh well :P Not what I had in mind anyways ^^ Nice job ^^
@Dragonunity
CHAOS
@Perronius
Awwww ^^ Maybe I could ask my younger brother (who is 7 :P) to try and draw some fan-art as well ^^ Although I should tell him to refrain from using markers.............
I need to re-take Grade 1, since I somehow read "4th of April" as "4th of March" -_- Or get a pair of glasses at least, maybe laser eye surgery, contact lenses, buy a bottle of eye drops..............
I would like to confirm that I did NOT give this user permission to use my work for this contest; Nor was it a collaboration of any sort.

Sent her a note few weeks ago about this situation with Drakcon.
He basically stole her username made a new account etcetc.
Man that's not nice ;;
Njthug, can parodies be a new category? I don't want that entry to be voided.
@Saranii --- Okay Thank you for that I did not know the other account that posted on the thread was not the original account holder.
@Dragonuity --- Sadly no that is not 1 of the categories in the contest we are not accepting textual art work (Fanfics etc.)
Oh well, I've already put in like 6 entries.
I see very few people do the "create a comic", so I have more chance to win in this category ! Aye !

How these weapons work: At first you just attack normally with these weapons and when u kill a monster in PvE or a person in PvP it will have the middle part fill depending on how hard the monster was(if PvP then fills 1/6). Then when the bar is full the weapon will start to glow, after that you can charge the weapon and ... BOOM!! a big explosion occurs that does all types of damage. ^_^
