Submissions will be accepted starting immediately until Midnight October 31st, US Pacific time. This is approximately seven weeks. E-mail your submission to contest@guildofwriters.org. The winning pattern(s) will be added to the Gehn Shard in neighborhoods which feature Tre'bivdil.
Submission Requirements
Each submission must consist of two 256x256 or larger texture images:
- A full-color image of the stained glass
- A greyscale image representing the reflection
These images must be submitted in a lossless format. If you are unsure which format to use, you should select PNG.
Concept drawings will not be accepted. Your images must be usable in-game in the format they are submitted.
Judging
Submissions will be judged by a panel consisting of Branan, Hoikas, and Deledrius (the Gehn Shard admins). The judges may, at their discretion, solicit opinions from other individuals unless such individuals have entered the contest.
Up to three winning patterns will be selected, and will be used randomly in hoods just like the current stained glass patterns.
Hints
If you are unsure how to best create the reflection image: start with an image consisting of white where the glass is, and black where the frame/border elements are. You can then adjust this with grey areas for dirt/grime as needed to match your glass art.
Please ask for help in the appropriate forum areas so that this post can be kept for discussion.
