Quest: Countless faces for a headless skeleton

[lashtal]

Ladies and gentlemen, here's a new quest for all of you.

It's a chance to obtain a headless skeleton, but most of all a chance to unleash the dark side of your creativity. 

 

You have to create/design a new undead / build-able creature.

 

So, first of all you need to put down a list of the ingredients you're going to use.

You can use only items or resources already existing in MD.

That said, all categories can be used: resources, common items, personal items, default items… everything, but already implemented.

 

You can use these lists as official reference on what's on the market right now: Items, Resources.

 

Second, once you have the ingredients and all the needed quantities, you have to detail all the steps of the procedure (the recipe, if you wish) to obtain such a creature.

 

Third, your creation needs a name and an image; therefore you have to draw the result of your experiments and name it.

 

The drawing must follow these rules:

1 drawing per submission, hand-made, original (not copied), black/white, MD noted on one corner - NO player name, NO player ID. 

 

Submissions are to be sent to me via forum PM, not posted on the forums.

I will act as a filter and forward your submissions to 3 judges (unaware of the authors).

 

All participants will receive either an unholy priest or a tormented soul.

Main rewards will depend on the n° of participants:

 

if n° < 10: best submission gets a headless skeleton;

if n° > 10: best submission can pick either a WP or a headless skeleton, second best submission gets the remaining one.

if n° > 20: … surprise!

 

Deadline: 31 May at midnight.

 

If you wish to judge this quest, please send me a forum PM.

What happens if n° = 10?

We'll flip a coin.

If it's tail we pretend n°=11, if it's head we all die.

Ok, judging time is over, time to draw the conclusions!

Despite the low number of entries (3) I was very happy with the submissions I received, because they all matched perfectly what I was looking for.

For this reason I'm going to share them publicly (see attached pdf); I hope you will enjoy this small, yet new bestiary as much as I did.

Submission n°0 is mine, it was not an entry to rate but an example for the judges of what I had in mind.

The judges (3) were unaware of the authors and were asked to rate the submissions considering:

• the choice and originality of materials/ingredients (0 to 3 pts)
• the accuracy of the procedure/recipe (0 to 3 points)
• the quality of the artwork (0 to 4 points)

Here are the judges verdicts:

Sub n°	Author	Judge 1 - Zleiphneir	Judge 2 - Junior	Judge 3 - Neno Veliki	TOTAL
0	lashtal	x	x	x
1	Aeoshattr	7	4	9	20
2	dst	7	8	7	22
3	Eara Meraia	5	4	8	17

And here are the rewards!

1st place: dst - headless skeleton + tormented soul

2nd place: Aeoshattr - tormented soul

3rd place: Eara Meraia - tormented soul

 

Congratulations to all!

 

note: partial scores can be provided upon request.
