Contest: Create your own TERA loading screen!

  • 30 days mount ? I guess this is a joke.
    I have no time to lose with this.

  • Ohh, peeps! It's not about money, it's about an in-game reward that's just a server command or sql query, and it's completely free for GameForge. This is why we are incensed.


    Most artists think it's even harder to copy a work than creating a new from nothing. Why? Because your own work is in your head, and you can change it as you want, but copying is about checking the copied work more often whether your work looks like that. It takes like 5 times more time than using your imagination. So, no-one would draw in a given concept and make a copy from something for such a reward.

    Ah, there it is, I was waiting for it. The personal bashing. How creative it is now, to counter my perfectly rational and valid arguments by bashing my work. As if you actually knew what I'm capable of now, nor will be in the future, and more importantly, as if I'd care.


    I'm sorry if you felt offended by my personal opinion. It's not nice to hear that you think I was bashing you, just to be clear - I wasn't. I just don't like your style, I bet you can deal with one person opinion, no need to get so angry.

    What situation do you think they are in


    I'm sorry do I really have to repeat myself because nobody here can even read? No wonder people are so angry here, you all should grown up and become more tolerant and understanding. I'm done with my opinion, said everything I wanted to, I won't get into some silly discussion with people who are offended by GF's event prizes. :) good day



    Btw one important thing: i'm not employe of GameForge. Don't get silly ideas. Just because some people have different opinion doesn't mean they're defending GF. I'm not defending, i'm just saying how I see it. Not like massive amount of people are raggin about.


    edit: I won't step to your low lvl daymdel, I'm not here to play flame war with you :) just so you know I'll ignore you on forum because all you do is offending other people, I apologized and you're still offending me. Sigh. cheers

    Oh deary, like I said, I really couldn't care less about your opinion on my art. I'm not here to please anybody's personal point of view of what good art is supposed to be, I'm just merely amused you thought it was appropriate to bring it up as a counter-argument in front of my logical and objective arguments about artists working for free, and about what an appropriate reward for such event should be.
    When one is running out of pertinent things to say in order to win a debate, they pathetically go on a personal level, attacking the people they're opposed to, which you just did.
    I don't feel offended, don't worry about my personal feelings. I'd rather listen to my teachers than you, they're professionals in the matter, you're not. I just find your reaction hilarious and predictable.


    Anyway, keep going, this is entertaining.

  • A 30 day mount for doing THEIR job, the Artists let TERA use their work for 30 days.

    Come on now, that’s not how competitions are supposed to work. It’s a pretty poor trade if it had been a trade and as a competition it seems like it borders on mocking. A competition is supposed to be about a prize good enough to risk doing all that work for nothing in case you don't win. Not a prize that even if you’re lucky enough to win isn’t really equivalent to a fair trade.


    Nowhere in the Conditions of Participation does it say that this is limited to them using the pictures for one month. One month in game but unlimited use on their sites.


    I’ll quote the conditions again – “By submitting an entry, participants agree to Gameforge presenting it on the Gameforge internet sites as well as on social media pages maintained by Gameforge (e.g. Facebook and Twitter) and grant Gameforge the spatially unrestricted non-exclusive usage and exploitation rights without claim to monetary compensation. A revocation of these rights of use after 31/12/2013 is excluded.”


    It just seems a little unfair, that's all.

  • support the game how you love it and show your skills and thats it...

  • I never said that I dont like draw/paint/ I LOVE make it but I can make art and get money so why I should make art and get 30-days mount?
    I always choose money+fun because I must buy food, paid taxes and more. Im not eating clouds and draw arts with one 10-years old crayon. All artists invest their money to get better artist stuff. IT COST.


    I bought program to make digital arts. IT COST. Why I must spend my time and my money to get 30-day mount? In my opinion its not fair.


    They get permission to make everything what they want to with my art and Ill got just 30-day mount? PHE! Art with rules like this cost 300€ and more not 30-day mount in game.


    So we have 2 groups.


    1st: I do arts just to have fun and Im not a professional artist.


    2nd: I dont wanna support "make free art and shut up" contest. I think we need to inform community that make art is not like 5-minutes of nice, easy walk. Its WORK. I dont want free food in shop and free medicine in chemist's shop. Im not stupid. So why so many ppl think that they should get our WARD WORK for free? Dunno.



    Now we must wait for some Admin or Mentor to get answer and later all of as can decide.


    SO WHERE IS TERA FORUM STAFF?




    Ps. I made screenshots of this topic so removing problematic discussion is not good idea.


    Sry 4 my Engrish ;)

  • Welp I just finished the lineart for my should be entry... o. o


    Even if the prizes are good. 1 winner per language? I dont have a chance.


    So anyone actually gonna join it?

  • For a lot of people drawing is their career.


    @Kawaikunai: Artists who work for money are just as much passionate and love to draw, that's how they get to that level. Please do not be ignorant, they don't have to crawl to their knees for opportunities.


    Do not underestimate them and show them respect. They are not greedy, selfish, ungrateful or any of that nonsense. It takes years of practice and passion for them to even get to that level.


    If the contest is expecting concept art level skills for this contest for some in game temporary mount then that is ridiculous. Concept art takes many hours and days to complete, hence they get paid to do it. You think the Tera concept art was done for free? It is a full time job.


    i think a thaler reward would have been more respectful. Its only a few winners after all.



    There is a fine line between hobby/amateur artists and professionals, but professionals were also once upon a time amateurs and hobby lovers.



    Anyways goodluck to people doing this contest. However do not pressure yourself to work your self too hard just do it for fun.





    What I do agree is they should just walk away. There is plenty of awesome contests you can get from deviantart/conceptart/polycount etc.


    This is just not the place for it.

    You don't have to draw on paper or the worst way with a mouse. I guess you know that there are awesome computer drawpads out there that cost only 199$. :p


    Like this one:

  • I have tablet Wacom Bamboo and i use tablets about hmm.... 7 years?
    So thank you for help but I know pretty much about artist staff (my hobby too ;) )
    This year I must buy Intuos5 M or L and its not cheap thing in PL.


    So everyone wanna free art but artist must get money from the sky to buy artist tools :D

  • Bueah it's not that then this contest is good will of gameforge. THEY HAVE TO DO IT. KTERA 1st amde it. Next TERA US, and on the end TERA EU. More over they get pernament, and vluable prizes. Honestly. I wont put much effort to make work for u. And more over. Informations about what to raw are poor as hell to. "Design an original piece of art (no screenshots will be allowed", design aagain what have been ardy designed? Buaah. no imagination to do that. put some flowers or smthing.
    Poor, and boring as hell. On US they at least make "good or bad side of ur character"

  • I think you ppl should claim down with this complainst about revard. It does not seems as event for crowd, but for artists who do looking for good start. Look, that is not event about mod screenshot or use arleady used art but something completly oryginal and new. If someone will create rly good art work, and it will be used by GF or BHS - this person will get right to use it as art used in profesional game industry. IMO very useful thing for an beginner artist's portfolio.

    If this is modding a screenshot or editing an existing art, then I think the prize of a 30day mount fits pretty well. also it would be better if they pick at least 5. <_<


    This was suppose to be my entry, but really lost my drive to finish it.... XP

    I know it not the best... but still took me about 4 days to do this. =_= (I use only mouse)


    I wished they added like 5 slots for consolation prize of 100TT. Instead of only 1 winner.... XP


    And I dont really use mounts in game. o. o I rather walk lol

  • Xenosnake if I can give you some advice try to make shadows not with air brush and use another cold colours to make darker parts. Its not like "put some black to get darker part".
    But I really like your lineart and you have mad skills with mouse :D
