DUST Search - Community 'Design A Skin' Challenge (100,000 Aurum Reward)

Quote:

"You do realize that shiny, stark white and glowing green eyes is probably the worst battlefield attire in New Eden, yes?"

Aeon lifted a small, flat electronic cigarette to his lips and took a lengthy drag of the nicotine saturated vapor before expelling it through his nostrils in twin trails that rose to the ceiling. He brushed off some lingering dust from the scratched, powered armor that contained his wrist to look down at the glossy, sterile white color that adorned his Assault suit. He gave a tsk before eye-balling the researcher with his cybernetic eyes.

"S-sir, I mean't... No offense... I just wanted the suit t-to be recognizable." The researcher said in a panicked tone.

"Oh, it is. From a kilometer away through the scope of a sniper." Aeon replied, sourly.

The clone-soldier gestured to the melted hole in his breast-plate with a grimace, shaking his head.

"Find someone that can replace this. The object of keeping a low-profile is -not- to be seen. Pay them whatever it takes."

Design a Skin Challenge Rules: Your submission -MUST- fit within the theme of New Eden, Eve Online, and/or Dust 514. As awesome as it would be, no playboy model camos will be considered. Try to take this seriously, gents. Your submission -MUST NOT- be a skin that already exists in either Dust 514 or Eve Online. Your skin will be on display. Don't send it in if you don't want the world to see it (though I can't imagine why wouldn't). You understand, full and well, that this is a community challenge and the skin is likely not going to make it into the game unless CCP wants to make it so. Your submission -MUST- be in a 500x500 pixel PNG format to be considered for submission. Your submission -MUST- be sent to '[email protected]' by the submission deadline to be considered. Limited to one (1) submission per participant. Make it count. Deadline for submissions is no later than server downtime on 11:00 UTC - Thursday, May 28th, 2015. Victor will be decided by community majority vote in a poll thread after one week from submission deadline (11:00 UTC - Thursday, June 4th, 2015). Rules subject to change at my discretion in the eventuality that silliness starts up. I fully reserve the right to cancel this challenge for the same reason (it's my money on the line, deal with it). Prizes: One (1) $50 Aurum Card from Gamestop worth 100,000 Aurum. Potentially more if anyone else decides to chime in with prizes. I'd like for the winner to be able to buy all eight skins available on the market. Templates By no means required, these are templates that I designed in GIMP to allow everyone to participate regardless of artistic skill and am willing to share them with instructions on how to color them. They are as follows: - Two Color 'BDU' Cam - Three Color 'BDU' Cam - Four Color 'BDU' Cam --- Two Color 'HEX' Cam --- Three Color 'HEX' Cam --- Four Color 'HEX' Cam -------- Two Color 'DIGI' Cam -------- Three Color 'DIGI' Cam - Two Color Gradient - Two Color Split - Obligatory Two Color 'ZEBRA' Cam Submission Format Your submission should include the following (AND ONLY the following): - Your in-game character name - Your submission (attached file/photo or imgur link) - The title of your skin - Subject line of your e-mail -MUST- say: "Dust 514 Skin Challenge Submission" Good Luck.

(Do you want to standardize a way for easier judging later)? Can just add in a glow lighting effect. It's pretty simple to do with some software and I can post another tutorial on how to do it if need be. As I said, feel free to provide a secondary picture for reference of a dropsuit or some such but the challenge is specifically for a template pattern/color set. (Gê¬n+Ç-´)GèâGöüGÿån+ƒ.pâ+n+ín+ƒ.

Aeon Amadi Negative-Feedback. Negative-Feedback 10246	Posted - 2015.05.16 08:27:00 - [6] - Quote Challenge has been updated with a new prize for the victor! The victor of the challenge will now receive the 100,000 Aurum card AS WELL AS a Limited Edition Templar BPO code from CCP Games. This includes: - Templar Assault A-1 - Templar Logistics A-1 - Templar Sentinel A-1 - Templar Laser Rifle - Templar Scrambler Rifle - Templar Scrambler Pistol - Templar Drop Uplink Yes, that is correct, the code -DOES- include the limited edition Templar Drop Uplink which (to my knowledge) is no longer available, even in the Collector's Edition. This is a -SUPER RARE- item. Don't miss the opportunity to get it. I'd also like to update with the fact that we now have three (3) registered submissions. Dunno why you guys are passing up a golden opportunity as virtually free aurum and the Templar code but you better get it in gear, clock is ticking. (Gê¬n+Ç-´)GèâGöüGÿån+ƒ.pâ+n+ín+ƒ.

Aeon Amadi Negative-Feedback. Negative-Feedback 10	Posted - 2015.05.20 01:30:00 - [10] - Quote Quick update. As of now, I have eight (8) unique submissions. I have 7 (possibly 9) submissions that I strongly suspect are all from the same person and I'm calling you out publicly on it because you apparently didn't get the message the first time when I e-mailed you about it: If you keep it up, I'm going to disqualify you. The rules state 'One submission per participant', -NOT- one submission per character. This rule has not changed since the challenge began. This challenge was designed to give everyone a fair shot and trying to circumvent the rules so you can get the rewards is a sure-fire way to get yourself thrown out of the challenge entirely. Pick a single SKIN concept and re-submit it.

While I'd like to provide further sampling on a full suit I lack the time and artistic talent to do so on such notice. To be blunt, it was not a part of the required submission and it doesn't seem fair to me that others may receive special consideration for tacking a full suit design on.
