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)
