View Full Version : Event Arks Art [unoffcial symbol art contest] July 7th-23RD



Titan
Jul 7, 2012, 10:14 PM
July 7th - July 23rd (10pm central which is the current time this message is posted)
I am going to sponsor a mini event involving the best symbol art anyone can come up with. You can either submit to this thread or private message to me. Your symbol art will be pre-screened by myself and judges that will remain anonymous. After we sort through all the entries, I will publicly post a poll for everyone to vote on.

:-? Any Questions, comments, things I forgot to mention or concerns are highly recommended. :-?

Prizes:
With ships being locked, trading locked and many other feature not available to everyone. I've decided to reward with
1st place - 3000 yen Webmoney
2nd place - 2000 yen Wbemoney
3rd place - 1000 yen Webmoney
If I get enough good entries I will increase the number or rewards to reflect so. Webmoney will allow me to mail or message you a long digit code acceptable to purchase Arks Cash or just anything you want really as long as its compatible with this currency.

Rules:
1. No player plagiarism (copying from your history will not be entered)

2. To submit, you will need proof that you made that art.
- Video time lapse are the best
- Picture collage are ok, every single step is not required
- Without proof, myself and my judges cannot verify that you made it.

3. No profanity or nudity

4. Nothing that will be questionable, offensive or anything that would get you in trouble on the forum or in game.

5. You may submit as many entries as you want, but only one of your entries will count.

Helpful Guide:
I found this image in the PSOW guides section but it was unfinished, so I finished it from my personal experience using symbol chat. If you need further explanation what each option does, ask me and I will try my best to make you understand.

You can simply trace an image by turning your game transparent with a program and having a picture under it...I don't think this is such a good idea

I know that, which is why I have a judging panel before I submit publicly to weed out unoriginality. You can trace all you want, but I think certain ones will stand out above the rest.

if this was a regular art contest i'd do it but it takes incredible patience to work with the symbol art paint thing.

fun contest nonetheless, i'd like to see the submissions posted later.

So just screen shotting your progress from time to time is enough proof? I'm fairly sure my PC is too crappy to record a video.

Added a new rule to clear up some confusion and to prevent a small time monopoly if you're really good at this.

New Rule
5. You may submit as many entries as you want, but only your top entry will count.

Also changed the prize amounts to reflect what is available now. (1st and 2nd got a small raise)

★ No rush on entries, good art takes time and patients. 2 weeks should be plenty of time if you're not a procrastinator

Actually, it would be nice if PSO2 will have some system similar to water mark that acknowledged only original creator.

Anyway, just a warning for those who plan to participate in this event. I suggest you not use your symbol art around the lobby and let somebody else has chance to copy it.

A quick question to you Symbol-makers! Do you know if there's any way to move the parts around without having to click-and-drag them with your mouse?
It would be really nice if you could move them around with the arrow keys when working with really tiny parts, but I can't seem to get it working.

Any tips on how to do this? Does it work if you connect a gamepad?

In the pic I have in the first post of this topic, choose "move" and this will enable you to move with either the keyboard arrows or your D-pad on your controller.

Never force creativity, if it doesn't come to you, forcing it will only result in a bland entry. Though, there is always that rare chance that you could accidentally write the melody to Sweet Child O Mine. 8-)

Trading is locked?

Trading is locked?

Yup, unless you go premium (there might be one other option but I'm sure it cost AC too). If you win this contest, you won't need to trade, you'll get some glorious item from the scratch n' sniff that will sell for 1 million meseta on whatever ship you play on.

Also 7 days left (1 week). In 6 days procrastinators can start.

So far I've only received entries from 4 people, which means each person has a 75% chance of winning something even if their submission is a single black circle.

Its ok to base your submission off something like a cartoon or video game as long as you made it and have proof.

I hope Sega fixes the team art sometime, about 15% of the work area gets cut off. Regular chat area has no bugs that I'm aware of though. Get to fixin' your game Segasaurus Rex.

My entries!

Picture removed by Request

How I did Ackbar was just throw shapes until he looked right. I didn't show progress because he's old, and I posted him several times. Doubt he'll win.

Megaman, I just did grid math. I am very good at spriting, but I wish there was a better zoom and snap grid.

Archer. I drew up the face. On paper. You remember that stuff? I then traced that to Velum, a mostly see-through type of parchment. I taped that to my screen and then built it up. I can scan the velum if you need more proof.

Vote for me!

If you want copies, I can e-mail the .SAR file after the contest.

For those of you that are stumped on ideas, there are sports teams, animals, anime, food, cartoons, your own character, mags, Partner Machines, classic PS games, clocks, meme faces, tanks, clothing, bob ross, website icons, comics, frogs, blah blah blah...

The final week. Judging begins on Friday.

Jul 16, 2012, 01:21 AM
gee at this point maybe i'll enter just because nobody else is. i definitely like to draw and shit but i find the symbol art program in pso2 infuriatingly difficult to use.

seriously, an ms paint look-alike with layers would have been easier. i don't know why they couldn't have just done that.

That's why I made this contest as early as possible so I could swoop in before all the creativity came out and what will be expected if I ever decide to make another contest in the future. Unfortunately I had no way of offering such prizes without an AC system in the betas.
Without verification people with similar styles could gives mixed opinions.

Sidney
Jul 16, 2012, 01:58 PM
It's bad timing for me, since almost all of my symbol art was create during the first few days of Open Beta. (I was excited to make symbol art! :lol:) I have pretty strong evidence that the old symbol art is mine, as they are all of my character, and are simply variations on expression, pose, outfit, and hairstyle. Kind of like emoticons of my character that I use for various situations! If I made a brand new symbol art with a time lapse of my work, could I submit one of my old works? My style is pretty distinctive. If I can't, I understand. :)

I've already made two way before this thread was created. I mean they're not as great as some of the ones people have done in the game. and seeing as how I didn't take pictures to prove I did it myself I want to show them off here.
If that is okay with everyone here?

I don't mind, but there is a Screenshot thread for showing off pictures. I'm pretty sure more people look at that thread more than this one. ^^

btw, if you're doing personal judging i kinda sorta feel like if you post all the pictures, you shouldn't post who got what place because ego.

if you simply put up a poll and asked people to vote though, i feel like that may be better.

i think the poll method + anonymous names (all entries are simply labeled entry one, two, and so on) would possibly be the fairest method.

I am going to sponsor a mini event involving the best symbol art anyone can come up with. You can either submit to this thread or private message to me. Your symbol art will be pre-screened by myself and judges that will remain anonymous. After we sort through all the entries, I will publicly post a poll for everyone to vote on.




Most of the questions asked in this thread are answered in the first post.
Its not personal judging, I have a team of judges who will screen the selection before the public poll. That way I get as many people as possible to spot out a fake or something else I might have missed.

Even the entries in the public poll can be challenged as long as you can prove yourself.

I love making the ponies, but I love making the other symbol arts too. Plenty of thought, and work were put into each one. Some of the resolutions of the images are larger than others for a few reasons: working in smaller resolutions help with being able to see my reference images, and larger resolution since I got my new desktop. I hope all of these entries are acceptable, and best of luck to everyone!

I should probably make another Symbol Art... was thinking of another Gurren Lagann themed one.
(Note: probably wont make it in time for contest, but I'll keep making more art in the future)

Phew, still made it in time. I swear, 225 pieces are not enough... @_@

I've sent you a PM with my entry just now, Titan!

I think 225 pieces are more than enough to be honest. I haven't gotten over 200 yet with any of my pieces.

But anyways, I'll PM my entrees anyways (even though I posted in topic).

And here, steps:

(I don't have screens from the first symbol, but I made that sketch one day when the server was down)

It's awesome how you used your own character in all your symbol arts. Really unique stuff, and (in my opinion) a big contender for 1st place.

Although I won't be entering my own contest. Here is my own 3 symbol arts so far.
Also, 2 hours remain.

There's no proof of me making it, second screen of it is the earliest, made right when i finished creating it on CBT.
I'm proud leader of The Cult of Lapucha (http://www.xfire.com/communities/lapu/).
Also there's an Lapu~ icon drawn by me, which I looked to when I was creating this symbol art:

That, and if the colors in the editor actually..oh...I don't know...matched the "posted" symbol art.

Thats due to size compression methinks.

I dunno, I've taken two big blank squares of a certain color, saved them, but when I compared the colors (between the editor and symbol art window) the one in the symbol art window... it seemed a few shades darker. I used an eye dropper to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me, and it proved to be right. So I'm not sure if it just differentiates with certain "off shades" of duller colors and makes them darker or what.

You're welcome. It's going to be interesting to see who comes out on top, since there are so many good ones. Hope the judges don't take too long to process the results.

a couple of symbol arts just look odd, when you use them, i mean they look great with 200% and then it just looks bleh :s


tried making something fluffy and it ended up looking like a red sasquatch

Just save your symbol art and see how it looks whenever you use a new colour. Tedious, but the best way to save time recolouring later on.

I just moved the symbol art window to the side before editing the symbol art itself, so then I can see the symbol art's final form without exiting the editor. It was very frustrating at first, but I guess that is a quirk when creating symbol art.
