Contest! Recreate a RP character! [EXTENDED!]

[Deandra]

From the discussion started here: http://forums.uesp.net/viewtopic.php?p=845537#p845537

Spoiler:

We should have a competition, to see who can recreate a Character from a TES RP(Character and RP decided later) In Skyrim.

That's very niche-specific, though; not everyone on the forum roleplays. While we can't appeal to everyone, your competition ideas should appeal to the most amount of people on the forum as possible!

This is a very niche contest (for people who RP only) so I will host it myself.

Premise
Recreate a character from a RP in the game of your choice! The best entries (as judged by your fellow RP forum visitors) will win a prize!

Thanks to an anonymous donor, the prize pool has been doubled! Here are the new prize amounts:

Main Contest Prizes
1st prize will be a $25 and the glory of victory
2nd prize will be a $15
3rd prize will be $10

Side Contest Prizes
1st prize will be a $20
2nd prize will be a $10

All prizes will be awareded as a gift code to one of the following (winner's choice): Amazon, Steam Credit, Xbox Points, Playstation


Entries
Valmir, by OblivionDuruza
Khazakra, by Vendetta
Lia the Muffled, by DarkEastwood
Irvam Andarys, by ArgonianDunmer
Vulkav the Invincible, by Red Guardian
A whole lot of people from Dawnguard: The RP, by Gideon Dragontongue


Rules
The rules have been updated! Check here for the latest rules!

• Create the character in the game however you like. You may use mods, or create your own items/characters, or just use the vanilla game--anything goes.
• Entries must contain 3 things to be valid:
  • A short description of how your submission matches the character
  • A link to the RP character's sheet or other posts in the RP that are relevant
  • At least 1 screenshot
• If at all possible, you should make this character in a game that is at least the right universe for that character. So if you have a Fallout character, you probably shouldn't be adding them to Oblivion. But creating a Morrowind character in Skyrim is just fine.
• If you want to create a character from an original fiction RP, you may use any game you like.
• You do not need to share the file(s) you created. A screenshot is enough.
• If you qualify for more than one prize (main contest and side contest) then you will win only the prize of greater value. The other prize will go towards whoever would have gotten it if you hadn't entered.
• You may pick a character from any RP hosted on this forum, whether or not you played that character yourself.
• If you choose to recreate somebody else's character, then you are not allowed to represent them in a way that would offend the character's writer. If in doubt, ask.
• You may submit multiple entries, but for the sake of clarity, please make a separate post for each entry.
• "Screenshots" includes taking a photo of the screen, for those of you who play on a console.
• Photoshopping is acceptable only if it doesn't look obvious. If your submission is more art than screenshot, it will be classified as an entry for the side contest.
• You may have more than 1 character in your screenshot, if you like, but it will count as one entry.

Schedule
You have until August 19 to submit your entry!
Voting will be from August 20 - 24, with the winner announced August 25.

Side Contest
For those of you who aren't able to create a character for this contest, you may enter artwork representing your character, using the medium of your choice. Just like for the main contest, you should include a short description and a link to where the character is described in the actual RP. The timeline for this side contest will be the same as for the main contest.

So you're not letting console users remake them and enter?

>.>

Plus, the nexus is filled with a bunch of moronic admins, anyways.

[Avron the S'wit]

Oh! I'll try to submit one of my favorite Marukhati character portraits before I head off in August for the side contest. (They're coming along nicely anyway!)

[Arch-Mage Matt]

This is like a punch to a console using non artistic user's gut.

[Deandra]

The side contest is there for those of you who can't submit an entry for the main contest. As I just told somebody in a PM, if you want to create the character with your console game and then take a photo of the screen, that's an acceptable submission for the side contest.

[POMC S117]

I made Dolores Montgomery from AoW II.

Spoiler:

Didn't actually make it but I had to post it.

[Crepe the Ashlander]

I would do it just for the sheer pleasure, not for the reward, and i'm awful at packaging and the like, might just make a character though and print screen it just for fun.

[Deandra]

Thanks to a very generous forum member who wants to remain anonymous, the prize pool has been doubled!

Also, vote in the poll to decide if I should ditch the file requirement and allow screenshots (or photos of your screen, for console players) as a valid entry for the main contest, where only non-screenshot original artwork would qualify for the side contest?

[Arch-Mage Matt]

POMC, I've said that Dolores looks like an owl.

[POMC S117]

If you tilt your head one way and then the other and close one eye and then the other, it kind of looks like a very, very dark owl.

[Eltee]

Ooh!

I might do... Hmm...

Everyone's favourite Frost Elf, Ashriel Vega!

Spoiler:

In all seriousness, I am going to take a picture of Irriwen chowing down on Breton flesh for da lulz, and as my serious entry attempt to make the great Hasira.

[Kerr]

Contest over, Eltee wins

[POMC S117]

Which Irriwen? Ooo... Irriwne is a good word. Irriwne. Irriwine! Typos are fun!

[Eltee]

The one that eats people.

[POMC S117]

That will be the name of my first Argonian.

[Iamgoofball]

Ooh! You should make Hasira bashing Robent's head in with the Mace Of Molag Bal, Eltee!

[MARS]

So many choices. But I'll do this.

[Deandra]

Ok, since the vote is 5 to 0 in favor of changing the rules, I'll go ahead and update it.

Pomcey, you'll still need to add a short description and a link to the original character (like, in the RP thread).

[Musicman247]

At first I was disappointed that Eltee called Hasira, but now that I think about it, it will be interesting to see what his take on her is.

I think we should only be allowed to submit someone else's character for our serious entry. What do you guys think?

[POMC S117]

Didn't actually make it but I had to post it.

[MARS]

I think we should only be allowed to submit someone else's character for our serious entry. What do you guys think?

Nah, I think we should have the option to make one of our own.

[Eltee]

I think that the entry 'for the money' should be someone else's character, or your own character AND someone else's character at the same time.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

It seems as if the haters have come out in numbers against my characters. Jealous much?

[Eltee]

You have no idea.
