Death Ray, that looks like a great start, can you make it any more drachorn like?

Maybe coloured flames?

I can't, that project has long since been lost. That was three years ago...

oh come on..... whats this joke? not worth the effort looking at it, maybe we should stop rewarding any good intention..

This is an other _PERMANENT_ quest.

 

Its purpose is to motivate you to build stuff, not just virtual but actually create things with your hands, use your imagination and dexterity and so on.

 

A permanent quest is designed as a way to provide a constant and guarateed flow of rewards. While they are simple to do and have high rewards, permanent quests can be done only once per player. This is intended to motivate a player to complete all permanent quests and also to give equal chances to all players to aquire certain things that should be rare but still available (like drachs and wishpoints).

 

This one is based on "Drach's Fall" quest initially created by Burns. It is basically an official version of that same quest, with his approval, but with small changes so it fits with a permanent quest.

 

 

--------------------

 

What to do?

Build a Drachorn out of anythig you can imagine, from paper to stones or potatoes..even mud, doesn't matter what you build your drach from, as long as it looks like a Drachorn and its 3D. Drawings of a drach are unacceptable, it needs to be an actual 3d construction.

 

Example:

View pictures from Burns Drach's Fall contest: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/gallery/album/282-drachorns-fall/

 

(IMPORTANT: These example pics are from the initial contest, read below what you need to write on the note next to the drach)

 

Judging of reward

Try not to repeat ideas others used, If i see the same idea repeated too much i might void your entry. Try to be creative and original, regardless what comes out, its more important to be yourself than to copy others. From time to time, the best entries might be selected for an additional award. Keep in mind you can participate ONLY ONCE, so do your best!

 

What next once done?

Once done, make 3 pictures of your creation, one of your hands must be seen in the picture and a put a note with "MD, playername, year" written on it, next to your drach. Post it here, state what reward option you are aiming for. If your drach is original and acceptable in terms of "build quality", you are granted your reward, no contest! It might take several days for your reward to be given, maybe a month, maybe same day, but as long as your entry is posted here public, it will be.

 

--------------------

Reward option 1)

1 Wishpoint from me, ranked from 4 to 8 depending on how cool and well done i consider your creation to be made. 

Reward option 2)

two wish codes so you can award two wishpoints for your quests.

Reward option 3)

A fresh drach egg

 

Good luck

I followed the rules

thats supposed to be an excuse or a mockery?

In line with my artistic skills. Which I don't have much of. If I still had it I'd do as Chewett suggested, but I no long have it.

its about effort and willingness to prove you tried your best, not artistic skills

I made that out of a soda tin can. I think it's quite good considering what i used and little skills

Either pay up or disqualify me

pretty sure thats not how you get what you want... theyre trying to ask you to put a bit more effort than the break time at work you spent cutting up a tin can...

@Muratus del Mur and I discussed it and agreed we would like to see more effort. My suggestion would be to try another submission but Mur may have some more choice words for you

Any word on my smokey quartz drach creation? Bumping

Thanks in advance

i would say this one yes ..its a disaster compared to other, but at least you made the picture with the glue implying a process happend and you didnt just find thst so, glueing those things together must have been hard ..and crushing your own 'material', the effort is what should be repaid

@death ray disqualified it is, and honestly i wasnt thinking anyone should or could be disqualified in this public contest free for all but thanks for convincing me to improve it with this new trait. Considering all this is so ewsy and rewarding, if you somehow fail it, you cant repost. i will update the rules to clarify that. future people will get disqualified if refused, you personally get disqualified because you sent a joke and insisted.

@death ray , i just noticed this in contest rules, was already written:

"...as long as it looks like a Drachorn and its 3D. Drawings of a drach are unacceptable, it needs to be an actual 3d construction."

Yes it was a bit of a disaster, its been a long time since i made it but it was pretty difficult to get it to resemble a drach. I do however wish i still had it. But it was so brittle and when i recently moved a year or so ago it completely disassembled itself.

However thank you for accepting it. I would like a WP for my reward please and thank you.

I made this out of a soda can. And a laser cutter out work. Hard to make it 3d from a 2d object, at least for me. And back when i made it.. I had very little experience using the laser cutter and parts of it were cold welded/press welded. And to me, it looks like what it was supposed to look like. Not "3d" there was a bit of work and effort put forth. By no means was it a "joke" just the idea I had at work and I made it happen. Wasted my short lunch break too to create this master peice.

looked to me exactly as something you would do in a lunch break... but as a piece of random paper put together to vaguely resemble the drach pic, probably cut with a scissors from the printed pic.

if the process was something more complicated, you should have described it properly
