Fansite item design contest

Question

TibiaQA.com is happy to announce the fansite item design contest! The goal of this contest is to create a fansite item that will represent the TibiaQA.com fansite and that will be used as a prize for future fansite contests.

Contest rules:

• the contest runs from 4. January 00:01 CET, and the entries are accepted until 2. February 23:59 CET
• the fansite item suggestions must be posted as an answer to this topic
• the fansite item suggestions must comply with the technical/content details provided below
• the fansite item must somehow refer to TibiaQA but it's up to the contestant to decide on the final suggestion and design; Will it be a golden question mark? An emblem of the best answer? A scroll of a perfect question? Everything is up to the contestant and own, creative ideas are most welcome
• there's no limit to the number of suggestions one player can make
• only complete entries (graphical item design + description + weight) will be considered as valid entries
• requests for clarification can be made as comments to this topic; answers should only be used to submit a contest entry

Technical/content details:

• size: 32 x 32 pixel
• it can be animated but may contain 64 frames at most
• each frame can have a different exposure time (which is usually at around 100 to 200 ms per frame)
• if you want pauses within the animation, do not include the same frame multiple times in a row, but instead increase the exposure time for this specific frame
• it needs to be on a transparent background (1-bit transparency only)
• if it is animated, you only need to supply an animated GIF of the item; otherwise, it needs to be saved as a 24bit PNG file
• it needs to fit into Tibia's setting
• it should not contain any direct references to a country, e.g. a Brazilian flag
• it's a deco or fun item only, it will not change any character skills or stats
• it needs to be a takeable item, for example, it cannot be solid furniture, but a bedside lamp would be alright
• it needs to have dark outlines
• it shouldn't be too different from other Tibia items

The entry should contain the following elements:

• the graphical design
• the item description
• weight
• optionally, an explanation of behavior when the item is used (one of: makes a sound, has small effects, is rewritable)
• optionally, a color of the light it makes (if the item glows in the dark)

Winners selection:

Is the item on game already?

Answer 1

Hello Tibians, here is a second idea that I had, hope you enjoy. Plz feel comfortable to give  to me any suggestion

 when someone use it 

Another option is the mirror showing Tibiasula from time to time

Name: Tibiasula's Magic Mirror

Weight: 13.20 oz

Description: You see a Tibiasula's Magic Mirror. It weighs 33.20 oz. This Mirror keeps the Gods knowledge! Ask your question wisely and be prepared for the true!

Light Color: no color effect

Creator: Lehula Dohon

World: Celebra

PS: I have two questions:

1)Can the item be hanging?

2) May I use a reference to Tibia Genesis? Like the item name "Tibiasula's Magic Mirror"?

Comments

That is really creative :0

---

Nice idea! Well, from my own experience - yep, item can be hangable (like Majestic Shield), but you have to make it in both perspectives - in 64x32 and 32x64.  There is already fansite item Crunor's Heart which references to TIbia Genesis, so it shouldn't be a problem. But you know, it's just from my own experience, better w8 for admin's answer.

Thx guys! I´m glad u liked it, hope TibiaQA staff gona have same opinion rsrs

Answer 3

I decided to make a medal with a golden question mark, encrusted with emeralds.

The star effect appears on your char when it says "Shine bright with all your knowledge, <player>!" 

Light Color: Yellow, 4 sqm.

Char: Didi Hadid

World: Lobera

Comments

The question mark is barely visible - my suggestion would be to make it stand out a little more (maybe slightly different color?)

Good backpack, but think add something to be more attractive.

Answer 6

My last (and favorite) entry for the contest.

Name: Red Panda Doll

Image when not used:

1^st frame - 5000ms

2^nd to 4^th - 500ms

When used, it displays this animation ONCE:

1^st to 4^th frame - 500ms

5^th to 8^th - 150ms

Description: You see a Red Panda Doll. It weighs 7.00 oz. He's as curious as every Tibian at the beginning of his journey. Awarded by TibiaQA.com.

Sounds: "Do you know where should I hunt, <player>?"  "Oh I better ask that on TibiaQA.com."  "Don't be bored, be curious!" "Hail TibiaQA!"

Light Color: Red, 3 sqm.

This item represents all Tibia players that get curious (or have doubts) about something in game and go to TibiaQA to have their questions answered.

No specific reason why I chose the red panda, I just think they are really cute and would be extremely desirable for house decoration.

The question mark when you use the item represents the doubt or curiosity of a player, and the exploding animation (question mark turning into smoke) represents when the question is answered on TibiaQA.
