  If you draw a weapon, do you have to draw it for all 3 races, or just one? owo

  
  
  One.

  Hard thing with design contests is that you're probably going to subconsciously come up with something extremely similar to something there already is.

  Yep. Especially when we don't have everything implemented here in NA. I had to do some digging on all the wikis to make sure I didn't dupe anything. There was this one sword.. I came up with almost the exact same design. :srsly?:

  I have sub-par drawing skills...and it is really tough for me to do detailing with a mouse..
  
  Not that I'm not condemning my entry but it will be a tough fight against all the others with their fancy tools.

  Detailing with a mouse is tricky, yep. But if you make the file huge and zoom in a lot it's fine 8D
  
  And it'd be a tough fight anyways since there's so many amazing artists in Korea, Japan, and China.

  I just noticed how the concept design of the Male Dragon robe looks far more win than the V-Neck variant DevCat put in the game.
  
  Also....I am sooo doomed, no tablet and I suck at computer arts D=

  There seems to be no rule against hand-drawn art though.
  (The trouble is that my art isn't that good even with hand-drawn and I'm the messy-type of artist. So I used computer anyway.)
  
  Seeing how they pick everything that is CG for winning entries, I wonder if it is a conspiracy to keep the standards up. Or if they hired graphic artists to redraw the stuff but I doubt it, seeing how there are some flaws in the past entries sent in.

  Well, I'm stuck trying to make lineart/colour in MS Paint.
  
  Anyone want to redraw my design for me? D:
  (If that's even allowed)

  I would do it, but I'm pretty sure its not allowed ._.
  
  I would recommend trying to get something a little higher than paint, seriously, I'm sure getting a [s]cracked[/s] version of the Adobe Suite or Sai or something shouldnt be too hard.

  I suck at drawing either way... Anyways my friend gave me a cool idea so i'll share it to give some inspiration-
  Beast Master Armor:
  Long Leather Coat, with multiple belts, and a big animal skull on the shoulder
  Battle Mage Armor:
  Regular robe with designs, but from the waist up it is covered in armor.
  
  Weapon:
  Reverse Dagger
  (Personal Thing. I would like to see them holding daggers the RIGHT WAY :thumb:)
