Art Competition: Definitely A Card Design Competition

[Aves]

Definitely a Card Design Competition

The Task

• Redesign the card format of Elements The Game!
• For reference, the default backgrounds
• The design you create must be your own work, and all assets not taken from Elements The Game or created by yourself must be properly credited.
• Post your submission in this thread!
• ONE submission per person, although your submission can (and definitely should!) contain multiple versions of your fancy new border.
• Your submission must fit inside one post.
• Feel free to check out this thread for inspiration!
  

The winner will receive the following forum award icon, as well as a spot in the glorious Hall of Fame!

Spoiler for FAQ:

Sounds like fun. I'll try to get in on this one. Any rules like the last one? Or just what is stated in the OP?

The specific rules/restrictions in the original are good guidelines! But for this one, they'll remain just that, guidelines. A good submission can be made with or without following those exact terms, as long as they follow the OP.

You have no time remaining.

Spoiler for Old, misleading images:

Spoiler for Hidden:

that sort of background is water lilies by monet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Lilies_(Monet_series) , rest is microsoft paint and the watercolor function

Right, I think there's been a bit of confusion here. The images in the OP were meant to serve as decoration and inspiration-- but NOT as submission examples. Putting things into card creation generators is fun, but that's not art-- at least, not art that you're creating yourself, and it's hard to argue that the results are your own design when it's clearly part of a well established franchise.

The design you create must be your own work, and all assets not taken from Elements The Game or created by yourself must be properly credited.

The bolded part is the main issue. The use of assets not your own is fine if you're able to create a derivative work, but just using a generator wholesale doesn't qualify.

After discussing a bit with CO, our conclusion is that Naii_the_Baf and Manuel's Yugioh and MtG submissions don't sufficiently fit the quoted criteria as they are now.

Here's an example of the sort of thing we're looking for:

Spoiler for Example:

This is an Art competition, after all

Apologies for the inappropriate images in the OP - I hadn't expected them to give the wrong impression of valid entries.

So, in other words:

What you were expectong us to do wasn't to modify the content, context, meta, etc. of the cards, but the cards themselves? As in, leaving what the card had in it, and just modifying the layout of what was in it?

[MasterWalks]

See this is an issue. The only real instruction we got was

Redesign the card format of Elements The Game!

There is not a real outline we are supposed to do and using those example pics really threw everyone off. I am going to put my post back up since i believe it still does follow the rules outlined in the OP

Pretty much, yeah.

Redesign the card format of Elements The Game!

The intent of this competition was for competitors to design a new card format. The submissions presented above are indeed different card formats - Yu-Gi-Oh! and MtG respectively - but they're not new, and they're not formats that you've designed yourselves.

This confusion is entirely understandable - the images in the OP were misleading, and myself and Aves apologise for that. This mistake was not your fault.

This competition is actually a re-run, and the OP contains a link to it "for inspiration". I've gone and collected a few submissions from that thread, and they're presented below in the following spoiler.

Spoiler for Examples:

Hopefully that should give a better example of what we mean.

Again, really sorry about the misleading images.

I'd like to cite this rule from the OP:

The design you create must be your own work,

You may re-post your entry if you wish, but unless you are legitimately the sole designer of the Clash Royale card format, I'm afraid it won't be a valid entry.

Announcement: There will be a one week extension!

We apologize again about any confusion the art in the OP caused. Get those card designs in, folks!

You have no time remaining.
