I don't think the beaver should have won, if they were judging solely on artistic merit. Several of the honorable mentions were far better. If I had thought they might judge on whimsy, I would have whipped something up myself. It would have been a lot more amusing than a poorly drawn beaver too. lol

The beaver won over this?

What were they thinking!

if i'd of known you could just copy images from google and get through like a lot of those entries i would of entered as well. beaver is crap but seems one of the only original pieces of work.

As it's concept it doesnt matter how badly drawn the subissions is. I also think it's unfair to berate someone who could be a young child soley because he can't draw like Leonardo Da Vinci.

My personal favourites were honorable mentions;

I believe games should always have some small element of comedy (have you read some of the quest overviews in Cantha?)

I wouldn't mind sporting that beaver, it would at least be more original than all the tattered black capes with gray flames and a silver skull/bat on them.

EndoftheSyringe · May 24, 2006, 12:21 PM // 12:21

I figured the beaver would be brought up in this thread. I do think it's one of the "joke" emblems that they have in there simply to make us laugh. If I saw a great guild win championship with a big cuddley beaver on their cape, I would probably be laughing about it for a while.

Not to mention the humor is countered with a lot of really just plain badass winners.

The beaver bought a smile to my face, which is what was intended.

Im more concerned with entries that were blatent copys of others artwork.

not as much berating a young child but its a hell of a slap in the face to anyone who entered the competition and put time and effort in (dont worry i didnt enter) when quite frankly tat like that gets put forward and chosen above others.
im all for comedy emblems but come on, someone might as well just crayoned 'WOW sux, we luvs gild worz'

Thank you for pointing it out so I didn't have to...

heaven forbid we let guilds have some fun cape options!!!!
We should all have red and black tattered capes with the skull or spider and the flame pattern!

How do you know for certain that they didn't choose the winners and throw in the beaver as a bonus? Did the contest state exactly how many winners there would be?

My only concern is how many guilds go with.... adult humor beaver related names... not that it bothers me, but it will just get old really fast.

I'd proudly wear that cape.

I agree, that beaver had better be a joke. I would much rather see these two get added from the Honorable Mentions:

xBakox · May 24, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

At least the beer one was decently drawn, and it has at least some refrence to the game (Dwarves and their Dwarven Ales)... Do honorable mentions get theirs in-game as well? I hope so, because some of them are much better then the winners. I rather have the honorable mentions then 2 of almost the *same* thing.(or 3 as Gaile said about the Ying yang fish...)

Oh, and will they add more details/backgrounds? Even just a few would make the capes nicer

Are you just saying that because they look professional, or do you actually have proof they're not genuine?

Simple, elegant, classy.
