    This might be the year I actually bothering entering the fan art contest, since it'll probably be my last chance to do so. ;/

    Already got my idea too at least. Should win me a bronze if I can learn how to paint proper in time, since I doubt line-art only will do the trick.

  5. #5

    I think I'm going to reactivate just so I can submit a piece of art. This is frankly the most exciting thing about XI to me over the past year, heh.

    As jaded as I am about the state of the game I did play it on and off for a freaking decade, like it or not it's a big part of my life as sad as that may sound.

    Already got my idea too at least. Should win me a bronze if I can learn how to paint proper in time, since I doubt line-art only will do the trick.
    Wont matter, no one whos not JP has ever won anything.

    Add some JP phrase and maybe they will vote for you, can't let them know you're NA!

    I'd like to think you two are being facetious, but given track records I'd say you're being somewhat serious.

    At least as far as the fan art contest goes, SE's actually been pretty PC on it as far as choosing winners on both sides of the coasts. Just last year Pikko won the Crystal Prize, followed by at least one other English-speaking player winning Mythril. I mean overall there are more pieces of Japanese fanart, but they seem to make a lot more fan art for XI in general- I guess all the Western drawing gamers are off playing something else, heh. (Think about it- we had that adventurer's log comic that went on for what, like 5 strips before it stopped?)

    Whatever the case I'm not expecting to win, anyhow, given the quality of work that had been turned in over the years most of the artists submitting work are probably far more talented than I, it's more just something I've always wanted to do, and the tenth year seems like a good choice (Well, or 11th, but who knows if this game will make it there...)
