| Hello Dear Players!
| |
| | |
| It has been a while since our last community event and we are pleased to announce our latest
| |
| | |
| MCA & Banner Art Contest.
| |
| | |
| Firstly, we are aiming to update the official card images for MCA cards. Currently these 8 monsters do not have an official card image.

|
| |
|
|
| | The contest also opened submission for Banner Art which could be used during streams or other advertisements. |
| As such we are opening it up to be filled by the artists in our community.
| |
|
| |
|
| There will be 8 categories for MCA Art. One for each monster.

|
| |
|
| Second, we are also looking to showcase fresh banners on our platforms. Therefore, we are opening this as a category as well.
| | Altogether there were nine categories. |
|
| |
|
| Below is an example of a banner.
| |
|
| |
|
| A Community Favourite for each category will be determined by vote in the forum or Discord.
| | ==Prizes & Judging== |
| | For each category, winners by Community Favourite were determined through a voting conducted on the server's discord. |
|
| |
|
| Prizes for each category:
| | The prizes by popular vote are listed below. |

| | Additionally, the GM Team will also select entries (through staff vote) which they find most suitable to be the official card art. This is independent of an entry's position in the Community Favourite vote. |
|
| |
|
| If the GM Team are especially impressed with your artwork, we may select through staff vote for it to become our official in-game card image or as a banner in our platforms.
| |
|
| |
|
| These will be independent of its placement in the Community Favourite vote.

| Criteria for MCA Art
| |
| | |
| The artwork should have an acceptable level of finesse and completed-ness. Try not to rush it.
| |
| There must be emphasis on the "Grand-ness" of the subject mobs to set it apart from regular mobs.
| |
| If a new player compared the card image against that of a regular mob, without being told they are different, would they be able to differentiate a Grand Marin from a regular Marin?
| |
| Creativity. While the mobs look exactly like a regular mob in-game, we allow and encourage players to add as much of their flair and creativity as possible to distinguish the Grand Mobs from regular ones. Art styles other than digital arts are accepted as well.
| |
| The artwork has a strong focus on one of the eight mobs as the main subject of the art piece.
| |
| As much as you can please curate the artwork to be able to fit within the dimensions of the card frame. The artwork must still look good and make sense when cropped to fit the card frame.
| |
| As an example, the dimensions supplied below is 588 x 750 pixels.
