LoTC Screenshot Contest

IMPORTANT NOTE: Submissions will NOT be accepted after Saturday, 11:59pm GMT, and that includes ALL "reserved" posts, so GET THEM DONE! Voting will last about three days, so we'll try to get the results back before Friday, a week from now!

Hello everyone! If you couldn't figure out by the title, we are holding a screenshot contest that we encourage you, the players, to participate in!

So what's the catch? The screenshots must look like they were made RPly, so use editing or some texture pack that makes the screenshot look like a painting, drawing, sketch, etc. To enter the contest, you must follow these guidelines:

1. All screenshots must be taken on our server.

2. Screenshots must be named. They are RP, after all!

3. You may not use screenshots that were taken before this contest started.

You can enter as many screenshots as you wish, as long as they follow the guidelines. However, you will only be able to win one of the prizes, which are listed here:

1st place - $10 VIP* + 1 block of diamond + 2500 minas

2nd place - 1 block of diamond + 2000 minas

3rd place - 1 block of gold + 1000 minas

*Note- If already a VIP, a different 1st place prize can be discussed.

To everyone who enters the contest, whether you win or not, we want you to put your screenshots here:

~ Art Works ~

Keep in mind that potential new players will be looking through our wiki, and these screenshots might entice them to join even more. For this reason, it may be beneficial to you in the contest if your screenshots portray something that is unique to our server. ;)

((A screenshot of the statutes at the Maw of Hanseti... Im surprised I have not seen another as of posting this. Oh and I included a little quote in the picture and some Rp which is optional to read))

((a lengthy RP post))

*near the entrance of Cloud Temple, you spot what appears to be a painting of some sort. Curious, you approach the painting to get a better view of the content. The painting appears to be of two large statues with the moon illuminating the starry background. In the left most corner of the painting is writing, inscribe of what appears to be in gold ink. It reads "There, watching over the Maw, stand two great men of stone. They are the guardians of all the land that is Hanseti. They are the first to greet friends of the glorious Teutonic Order and the first who to stand against it’s foes. -- Anonymous ". It appears that the artist, whoever they may be, has taken great care to reproduce those statues in art form. Yet, why would such an object be left by the steps of Cloud Temple? Is it abandoned? Forgotten? Perhaps the owner will return? You look around to see if the artist responsible for the painting is simply nearby, off to fetch an apple to hold back an empty belly? But but the only soul you see is a simple temple monk leisurely walking about the temple complex. You turn to back the painting and wonder... wonder that perhaps it is just in need of home. Or perhaps the true owner will reveal themselves at a moments notice. So... should this painting be left here all by itself? Or should it be taken into a place more fitting? You have heard that there are people who might be interested in such painting... perhaps this piece of art would interest them... *

Seen as at the time all the posts above me seem to all be 'Reserved' then here goes nothing. I have tried to make it look like it was painted with some sort of oil colours maybe, with sharp lines and a bit brighter than most others. I can also confirm that it is my screenshot that I have taken and you will know that it is from Lord of The Craft.

[CowsGoMoo 267]

A teenager-almost-a-woman dark elf slinks into the room, carrying a huge bulk of portraits and paintings, she lays each one of them, one by one.

She squeaks to no one in particular, "My... ehm... Sister, Trinity, painted these..."

The teenager scooches away from the paintings, and tugs at her dress, looking around nervously.

((OOC SPOILER))

Oh Darn. If shader's shadows worked on my computer, my paintings would look soooo much better.

Oh well! I still have LOTS of confidence! I got this! >:o

Alright. Here's a few pictures of the Hand of Krug, which is a pretty major orc structure.

How I'd imagine a rough sketch of the Hand of Krug at night would look like if done by the random passerby:

A name for this may be difficult but if I were a traveler (which Ithric pretty much is) that sketched this in his or her journal I'd definitely call it "The Solemn Structure" for I doubt I'd have any clue what it is, beyond being some sort of hand, and the area around it is rather vacant and eerie. Also, a note on the action bar and general UI. I figured it'd add to the aesthetic of a traveler seeing it and sketching it. I just thought it'd be a nice touch, but it's not too obnoxious to take away from the enigma that is the hand jutting randomly out of the sand. At least that's how I see it, hope you enjoy.

How I imagine ancient orcs, or maybe ancient Asulonians, would depict the Hand of Krug through mosaic art, or perhaps it'd be a cave scrawling, either way here it is:

This I wouldn't really give an official name, due to the fact it's supposed to be ancient and artifact-like. Perhaps left by old Asulonians, orcs, or some such. Hand of Krug by Day would probably be the best option, since if I was RPing an Archaeologist I'd probably call it that.

This one I thought hard about and I was thinking that perhaps a traveling artist who seeks to form the unusual and ancient onto his canvas through pastels may draw this. It's a small planetarium-styled balcony near the Hand of Krug in pastels, enjoy:

And for this one, if I were RPing a famed artist I'd call it "Aged Heavens" for the fact it's supposed to be an old structure and it's depicting the sky, or "heavens" as some might call it.
