Illustration Contest (http://www.pso-world.com/10th_illustration_contest.php)
Literary Contest (http://www.pso-world.com/10th_literary_contest.php)

To the participants, after the Jan 1st deadline feel free to resubmit your entries with signatures to be added to the fan-art gallery.

[CupOfCoffee]

Ooooohhhh... always did want a custom avatar. :nerd:

[Seth Astra]

Hmm... Seems fun... And and the deadline's a month and a half from now. Plenty of time for me to get off my ass and do something (I need a LOT of time for that).

[LK1721]

Oooh! Sounds like a blast~!

[BIG OLAF]

Well, damn. This sounds really fun. Only two things stopping me:

- I've only played PSOBB, and not for probably more than 50 hours total. Not exactly enough to turn into an interesting recollection of sorts.

- I would also have to get over my terrible, lingering fear of sharing my writing with others. Hell, I've had a couple of fan fictions on this site, but ended up wiping the threads of my posts.

[Wayu]

You are asked to to remember and share the greatest, most memorable moment you had while playing any iteration of Phantasy Star Online.

So PSU/PSP is included in that, or no?

-Wayu

[BIG OLAF]

So PSU/PSP is included in that, or no?

Well, it's PSO's 10th anniversary, so no. Wouldn't make sense.

[CupOfCoffee]

Yeah, it'd be kinda strange to be awarded an Elenor or Shino model kit for a PSU work.

[Dre_o]

Oh no....oh my....I will seriously have to set some time aside. Though narrowing everything down to just one or two instances of nostalgia will be difficult.

[Sayara]

Its only for PSO content, no PSU, PSP, PS0, PSP2i.

[Wayu]

Drat, I know next to nothing about PSO, although I play Blue Burst.

I probably'll do a few drafts but won't submit anything. :/

-Wayu

[Crazyleo]

It's been awhile since I've played PSO (GC), but I'm excited about the contest though.

[NoiseHERO]

Hmm... I can think of something...

Blargh I hate when contest have long due dates because I usually throw something together in under a couple of days of abusing my free time...

It's fair for people with lives though, I guess. D:

[Sayara]

Truthfully, the deadline is the exact end day for PSO 10th Anny.
This contest does NOT have to involve main key storypoints (Fighting Dark Falz, Discovering that Falz is Rico etc) it can be anything that moved you during your time playing PSO.

Like, if an example when i recieved a rabbit wand from a temple run; that was pretty memorial to me because it established what Tingle would use as her main weapon from then on.

Or, when i fought through C-mode with Ryna, Ian and Rena.

Or when I helped Ryna get to lvl 200.


All are perfectly fine examples for this contest. Just gotta illustrate, or create this story for the rest of us.

[qoxolg]

PSO?? What's that!!?!?

Seriously, I think I started playing PSO ver2 on the dreamcast somewhere around 2002. I still play it once in while. My best moments were probably my first hours of play. Back then it was state of the art. I'll try to capture those first moments.

PSO back then had a very recognizable feel, just like all Sonic Team games had back then (like the old sonic games, NiGHTS and the first Sonic Adventure game).

Since it's a PSO only contest, I hope the amount of participants will be enough.

If you want, I can post a promotional Blog on the PSA group on Deviant Art? That way I can please some of the people that voted for a contest there..

[Sayara]

If they're members of PSOW sure. They have to be members to PSOW.

[Rawr]

A fanart contest hm? I am so in on this :D! Now to decide whether or not I want to attempt something from episode 3 (Pollux fight = my favourite) but that would be rather difficult since you use another character inside the battles. Its been so long too haha. I've been playing a lot of PSOBB lately so I might do something related to that possibly!

[Sayara]

You could use the NPCs for your illustrative, or written entry, its either YOUR greatest memory, or your characters. Its pretty open-ended.

[MESeele]

Interesting. Never made it very far, but fun times were had. Might give this a shot.

[Mitz]

While screenshots aren't allowed, can the characters in the screenshot be extracted and used? Was thinking of doing some form of collage.

[Dr. Montague]

Sadly, I only played the game offline (As I purchased it secondhand after the servers had gone down) so the memorable stuff I had were in the NPC quests and such, of which I still enjoyed.

That being said though, I'm already fairly certain of what I'm gonna try to do for fan-art. Now I just need to boot up GIMP (For those who don't know what it is, it's basically a weaker Photoshop, which hopefully applies to the "so on" category in what can be used) and learn how to draw D:

Hopefully the 3 months time will be enough for me to procrastinate beyond belief.

(b'-')b

Le shameless edit: This is the first time I've felt excited to finally get back to GIMP in probably the past year or so. Thank goodness for the long timeframe, because I'll surely need it!

[Xaeris]

* Retell your story; like it was their very own epic. In a short story format (around 3000-5000 words)

Ah ha ha ha ha...oh god, you're serious. This could be tricky.

[MESeele]

*Ping!* Got my idea ^^. This will be a good chance to learn how to use Painter... I've put off that scary program long enough. Actually kind of excited!

Guess I'll throw down some comps tonight. From the sea of the soul, come forth... China Marker!!!

[sugarFO]

Ah ha ha ha ha...oh god, you're serious. This could be tricky.

5000 words is like 20 pages o.o

[Sha Sha]

After Logging over 2000 hours on PSO ep1 -3 I have some things to tell xD
I'm already thinking of which of my many storys to draw

[Sayara]

Those #s are just kind of an idea. they can be more or less of those numbers.

[MAXrobo]

Sounds fun, I guess Ill have to give it a shot.

[Aumi]

I finally feel that I have at least a tiny chance to win a fan art contest. I already have an idea for what to draw! :D

[striker0]

Hmm, considering my HUmar has hit a very strategic point in his leveling, I think a fanfic should be in order.

I'm in!

[Sayara]

While screenshots aren't allowed, can the characters in the screenshot be extracted and used? Was thinking of doing some form of collage.

It'd probably be acceptable.

[Jared_T]

This looks fun. Unfortunately I've been stuck doing commissions. The deadline on the two I'm working on is Dec. 1 so I may be able to put something together after that. If not, then good luck to the rest of you.

[ColonD]

Well.

I'm entering both the fanart and fanfiction contest. I hope there is a great turnout so there is a lot of new fanwork!

[DuRaL]

lol, i actually don't want to be the smartass here.. but it's 2011, so wouldn't this be PSO's 11th anniversary? xD

[Ami]

MOTHERFUUUUUUUU-

This would happen when I'm on a hiatus OTL

[Sayara]

lol, i actually don't want to be the smartass here.. but it's 2011, so wouldn't this be PSO's 11th anniversary? xD

it'd end on the exact day of the 11th anni. It was well planned.

[Googlebonker]

; ; Aww. I wanted to do something PSU-themed. Are you sure this anniversary is PSO Eps1-3 & Blue Burst exclusive or a celebration of Phantasy Star`s online endeavors? Episode 3 and Blue Burst weren`t released at the beginning.

If that doesn't tell you much, then I have no other way of telling you.

[Sayara]

Yeah, this is only focused on PSO. Ep3, and BB are considered parts of those storylines, and i'd think it'd be cool to see an ep 3 related memory hahaha

[Googlebonker]

Some of my memories of PSOGC are frozen screens, losing items, and hacking. ; ; lol : D But it is where I met MJ and p!nkfrostin! n_n It was also my first online console game. Hmm.

[Sayara]

Plenty of time to get something down on canvas, or paper if you like!

[Crystal_Shard]

Hmm, I really need to poke my nose in this subforum just that much often. And my exams are just around the corner as well. orz. That custom avatar is quite tempting.

Let me see if I have time to take a stab at it and see if I can churn out something quickly. A question on the rules first though - must it be an actual memory/event, or can it be partially manufactured? ^_^ (Eg: Having two offline PSOGC characters in a scene with an online friend, or a offline only character scene?)

Edit: Almost forgot - do we need to stick to the established hairstyle options? Costumes are one thing, but I'd always wanted a character of mine to have long hair with a specific hat. ^_^

Well, my guess is that: if you don't tell anyone that it didn't actually happen, they wouldn't actually know!

The costume bit is is a matter of artistic freedom, of course you can have what you'd like hair style-wise.

[PhantWolf]

So does this mean that the fanart doesn't have to be what exactly happened in the PSO story? Maybe something they plays off of a mission; like a story after facing Kireek.
Sorry for being a noob, but what exactly is a custom avatar?

[Sayara]

<--
is a custom avatar. One that is not readily avalaible to the site.

The contest asks you to remember the greatest memory of YOUR game time of PSO. This could be story cannon related (Fighting Kireek in the Caves 2) or based off your own adventures (Hunting for fatasia with hit)

Its pretty open ended.

[Mainkai]

Should we write descriptive texts of the images we send in to clarify the "moment" we are trying to portray?

Is it possible to win a prize for each entry (e.g. second place in art contest and third place in writing contest), or would this also fall under then "best placing" rule?

[Sayara]

Remember! We're less than a month away now...

So lets get scratchin!

[NoiseHERO]

Lets see i I can get my motherboard repaired/sorted and draw something within the next 26 days...

[Sha Sha]

gah Im having problems with deciding on a memory! I have a ton over the years

[Alena Zouryx]

I'm really excited for this! I certainly do think it's challenging to write about a PSO memory from our character's personal perspective, and I'm always up for a challenge!

Thankfully I spent 90% of my time role-playing as my character instead of actually playing the game. Ohohohoho~!

[Sha Sha]

I wish we could post wips. I need some feedback on this pose;
can I post a wip on another site (say gaiaonline or DA) for help or critique?
or would that be against the rules?
i dont wanna be disqualified for posting a wip.

[qoxolg]

I do not make the rules here, but I think for a contest it would be best to try to do as much as possible all by yourself.

This might help you a little:
- When you feel there is something wrong with a pose, then your gut is probably right. Our brains unconsciously recognizes when something looks off, it's just hard to pin point what exactly is the problem. Sometimes the best thing to do is just scrapping the whole thing and redraw it. I usually don't put much effort in the pose, so I can fix up some stuff.
- What really helps me to draw some of the harder poses, is by drawing a silhouette first. The way you can quickly get the proportions right, without worrying to much about the anatomy.
- Try to get yourself a good anatomy book (and if you already have one, start reading). I use 'Classic Human Anatomy' from Valerie L. Winslow. It's a great book and goes into every little detail of the human body.

When it comes to posing, this little tutorial might come in handy: http://warrenlouw.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2p3au1

asfgasfgdfhadfh

That's a really good guide!

In a different thread in another online game forum I made a topic in the art section, based on sharing reference and tutorials and we try to give each other tips on fixing things and improvement or techniques that could make drawing easier.

So I'll definitely be sharing this.

bwahahaa!

[Sayara]

I can't "STOP" you from posting it from a different site; but you need to remember that the contest is asking for anonymous entries. I'd imagine, thered be a sense of shame if i or any other of the mystery panel find out about you posting your image on an outside source though.


Though the rules specifically ask for "brand new image" entries. Something never seen from anyone else on THIS forum. Im leaving my trust in you to not post it elsewhere; but i cannot force anything on you.


Also, I'll be adding that guide to the Sticky tutorial section of the forums. Its very handy.

Was this directed at me? o_o

I was talking about sharing the guide qoxolog posted, not this contest. @_@

[Sayara]

No, not you i was refering to Sha Sha.

[Stixxx]

10 years all ready huh..

[NegaTsukasa]

I'm not entering the contest or anything. but I'm curious too know something since we are talking about the ann. here in some fashion.
Japan is a day ahead of us. so wouldn't the 20th on our calendar be the 21st Aka the anniverserary day, if we are going by the exact day Japan released the game? feels like a gray area in the dates. :/ or am I missing something/over thinking this?

[Sayara]

For the sake of a lack of confusion the deadline is as exactly as slated.
Dec. 21st 11:59:59 PST (2:59:59 AM EST).

[Xaeris]

Question about formatting for the fanfiction contest: would it be helpful to use [tab]s and the like, or would those not register in a PM?

[chibipocky15]

what if my most memorable moment was t-bagging someone in a rappy suit.... cuz I was a lonely person as a n00b ;-;

Do we have to pick on moment? Can I put a few together?

does phantasy star universe count because i've only played that ;///;

[Sayara]

You dont have to tab, just make it clear enough for me to read.



and: whatever is your best memory... go for it!

[Sayara]

There's only 2 days til the entry deadline.

So wrap them up, and send em my way by that time to be considered into the competition!

[qoxolg]

I wonder how many entries will be submitted, considering it is PSO only...

[Xaeris]

The opening post says the 21st though?

[Sayara]

Ooh, you got me on that. Good eye.

[Xaeris]

Okay, whew. I thought I was going to have to go into overdrive mode for a moment there.

[NoiseHERO]

I suck I haven't even started yet.

Don't know what to draw.

I had fun in my PSO time, but nothing distinctive that I could capture in one image...

[Alena Zouryx]

The opening post says the 21st though?

Thank you for catching that! I totally had a freak-out moment when I saw Sayara's post that it was due tonight. XD

I wonder if I'm the only one who procrastinated and waited until the last minute to get an entry in? ^^; Reminds me of school all over again... x_x

[EDIT] Ohai, Michaeru. Guess it wasn't just me. Ehehehe... ^^;

[Aumi]

By 11:59:59 PST, you mean 11:59:59 PM, right? I forgot all about the contest and then an important assignment for school came up, so I haven't gotten more than a sketch done...

[NoiseHERO]

I'm sure a lot of people submitted already.

Though it'd be kinda sad if we all got like a month and a half'd notice. Then everyone only touched it at the last minute.

I blame not having a real computer, otherwise I would've done this weeks ago when I still remembered it. ;o;

[Sayara]

Thats correct, 11:59pm PST. That'll be 2:59AM my time (EST) so if you send me anything during that night time, I'll probably accept it then. I'll have to consider that.

[Sha Sha]

just sent mine in; good luck everyone.
now im gotta get set for a 30 hour train trip lol
with no internet or even maybe power lol

[qoxolg]

I submitted mine a month ago I guess. Ever since I got a fulltime job, I procrastinate less and less.

[Xaeris]

Submission complete. That was a fun diversion, but now back to business. Here's to a sporting contest.

[Aumi]

Just sent my submission. Just finished it a few minutes ago, 5:17 AM here... >__<

[Alena Zouryx]

Whew. Submitted mine, as well. Good luck to everyone! ^_^

[Sayara]

At 2:59:59AM EST is the final deadline for entries for the contest!
So good luck!

[NoiseHERO]

Hah! finally submitted mine with 7 minutes to spare! @_@

[Alena Zouryx]

Hah! finally submitted mine with 7 minutes to spare! @_@

Cuttin' it close, there, eh, Michaeru? XD

[NoiseHERO]

Cuttin' it close, there, eh, Michaeru? XD

TOO close...

If I gave my self at least a day or so more I couldn't made it look better. ;o;

But this is my own fault.

I definitely wanna see other people entries, I know there's some professional level artists lurking around here somewhere that only pop up for contests!

I'LL FIND YOU!

AND I WILL KILL YOU!

[Alena Zouryx]

I'LL FIND YOU!

AND I WILL KILL YOU!

o_o;; *Hides behind a chair*


Wait... actually, I'm not an artist, just a writer, soooo... mayhaps I'm safe from such threats? Eheh... ehehehe... Ahem... ^^;


Seriously, though, I am excited to see entries, even the ones that don't win! It's always awesome seeing the mounds of talent that the Phantasy Star community has.

[Carma]

Somebody called me ? (not sure about the professional part)

It has been a long time since I posted something even if I take a look on psoworld everyday...
Well it seems I will have to hide myself lol

Can't wait to see people's entries, good luck everyone !

[Aumi]

I wish I had started earlier, but a lot of stuff got in the way (aside from the fact that I forgot all about it). If I had started much earlier I would have practiced inking first, because line art done on the PC with a tablet rarely looks as great...

[Sayara]

Alright. At this time, I will no longer be accepting submissions. I overslept, so anyone who was up between 3am and 10am my time got some extra chances. However that is the end of submissions!


Now coming soon a gallery will open where you can all vote for your favorite fanfic and fan-art entry!



Good Luck everyone!

[Aumi]

May participants vote as well? Though I doubt that I would vote for my own entry anyway, seeing as there surely are a lot better entries...

[Crystal_Shard]

I'm kinda curious to know how long will be the judging period.
Looking forward to seeing what we get in the entries.

[Sayara]

Trying to get the galleries all set up, as soon as they're ready voting will begin. Yes; participants can vote.

[NegaTsukasa]

Alright! good luck to everyone! looking forward to voting when the gallery comes up! :D

[Sayara]

At this time; the galleries are now open and ready for voting!

Please follow the instructions on both pages and choose which entry is the most awesome!

Happy voting!

[Xaeris]

Talk about slim pickings.

[Sayara]

An unfortunate turn of events however we still had a good collection to choose from.

[NoiseHERO]

D: I'm scared.

[Ce'Nedra]

Don't even know who made what but i saw a few very nice ones.

Can i say that i'm truly amazed by the Gal Gryphon picture? ;o Whoever made that thumbs up. I already saved it and put it in my collection of PSO fanart that are worth keeping ^^

[qoxolg]

I recognize at least halve of the artist/entries. I've followed a lot of artists for years by now.

Although there aren't many entries, there are some real good ones between them.

[Yueri]

Can i say that i'm truly amazed by the Gal Gryphon picture? ;o Whoever made that thumbs up. I already saved it and put it in my collection of PSO fanart that are worth keeping ^^

I have to agree with you there.

[Sha Sha]

I think everyone did a good job in both categories
good job everyone!

[Alena Zouryx]

I think everyone did a good job in both categories
good job everyone!

I agree completely! :D Although I was hoping there'd be a few more entries... guess folks have been awfully busy or something, lately. o.o

Good luck to everyone, once again! ^-^

[Sayara]

The clock's ticking everybody!

If you haven't taken a moment to view the galleries and place your votes, Please, take this time to head on down and vote for your favorite illustration and story!

the voting deadline is New Years Day 2012.

[Xaeris]

Voting's coming to an end. I is excited. Naturally, I'm pulling for myself in the literary category. As for art, I voted for the HUcast and Gal Gryphon.

[Mimo]

Whoever did the 'art of being together', very nice story.

[Fayorei]

Really great stuff! I had no idea about the contest, or I would've entered some art.:)

It's just nice seeing some PSO work again. I'm thinking of a couple of ideas anyhow since these are very motivating.:D

[Sayara]

The Votes are now CLOSED.
We will be making our final judging decisons; and soon the winners shall be announced.

At this time, any participant who wants to submit their artwork again with their signatures or identifications send me a PM and I'll get that arranged.

[Sha Sha]

yea I need to fix something that i didnt notice until i was on a train in the middle of no where with no internet xD so at lease I can fix it for the gallery

[Ryna]
