quoted for the lazy wrote:I want to apologize but there will be no monthly Transtopia art challenge this month, as someone needs the help of the superhuman life-forms that call themselves artists. Yes Seibertron.com's site game Heavy Metal War (HMW for the lazy guys that hate writing names out in full and like using abbreviations or, well, the players of said game) is slowly moving into version 2.0.
Question: Now of what concern would that be for an artist?
Answer: The game needs a map!
So instead of Transtopia's monthly art challenge for October, I present you with the monthly* Transtopia "Give HMW a map of Cybertron" art contest!
* (This contest is not actually monthly but a one off!)
Now, what HMW needs is a map of the planet of Cybertron (for people that are not in the know the metal ball thingy the Transformers come from) but it has to be unique.
There are actually many maps of Cybertron out there but they are all of a giant ball that never reveal what lies behind it, and HMW's programmer needs a flat map. To know what a flat map is, google it or read a book or do it the easy way and just look at the image below this sentence:
Now the map should come with all the major locations of Cybertron like:
Iacon
Kaon
Crystal City
Dead Metal's Metropolis
etc....
...but also new cities and locations that you think would be cool.
Now the prize is that the winning map will be part of the game, and will be used by all HMW players and credit will be given to the map's artist.
As this is a bit of a difficult or more complex challenge you have till the 2. of November to submit your map. All maps should be submitted in the appropriate thread by clicking
here.
Updates to this event will be posted if needed.
And don't worry, the Transtopia monthly art challenge will be back for November so see you then!
