Item Design Contest 2017 nominated works

[ralf542]

Lewd costumes and tentacle tail... For me only those pokemon designs look good. I would like to see some Suna doujinshi artist stuff, even if they are just es chips.

Why bother nominating 8 of the same thing if they're not going to pick one
I mean, I'm not upset we're not getting body oil, I'm just confused about the logic of it

Still didn't get a lot of the good stuff tho and Great Designer Whose Name I Still Don't Know got shunted yet again. :\ At least it's less meseta to grind.

Know what is funny? Reading this little excerpt:

相変わらず、入賞作品の選考には頭を悩ませました。審査基準は、「独創性があるか？」や「アイテム化した際 にユーザーの皆さんに愛用してもらえそうか？」といった点になりますが、後者についてはユーザーの人気傾向 をバッチリつかんだ作品が非常に多く、どちらかというと前者の「独創性」に重きを置いた審査となりました。 入賞作品は、まさに「デザインコンテストならでは！」と思えるような、斬新なラインナップになったのではな いでしょうか。

As usual, I was troubled with my selection of prize-winning works. The judging criteria are points such as "Is there originality?" And "Is it likely that you will be loved by users when you make it item?", But for the latter, it is a work that sees users' popularity trends batched There were so many things, rather it was a judgment that placed emphasis on the former "originality". The prize-winning work seems to have become an innovative lineup that seems to be "unique to the design contest!"

By that logic all those entries about shiny skin were not original and neither was Great Designer Whose Name I Still Don't Know.
But these are

I'm glad I can at least say it is better than last years disappointment, considering I want more than just one of the winners this go around. But the sheer amount of stuff that seems to be a variation of what we already have seems ridiculous.

Kinda bummed that the ball-joint-doll-type paint wasn't picked. Would have liked to mix that with the mechanical joint paint on some of my characters, or vary it with some of them.

Such uniqueness and originality, yes. Apparently the best way to get nominated is to keep sending the same thing with minor differences.

(Same artist for both, if I read the kanji right)

Well, at least that one design I liked made it in.

sigh... wish they would have chosen some of those Minimalist camos. They all seemed very nice

Males by far had the best costume selections this year. Poople suit is actually first meme suit I actually want to get

There were just nothing good to me in accessories...whats up with all the body oil entries?

[Alenoir]

I don't know, I'm personally fine with vacuum cleaner for rod.

[Batty]

a bit dissapointed that my design wasnt selected, but even more dissapointed that not a single one of the many sword, talis, tmg designs were selected either, so we still wont have a cool looking weapon camo for the hero class :/

whats up with all the body oil entries?

Quoting Azure Falcon for this one

People saw the glitched out shiny character textures after the Quna stage show and decided they wanted their waifu dolls to look even more like plastic.

Basically thanks to glitch city that is Quna's Episode 4 concert people got alot of ideas for skin textures in their head
