I can't gaurentee it'll get used but you never know, could be fun anyway,
so good luck with your efforts.

Btw if one of yours is used you will get the credit for it on the official site so get scribblin'...

Some of the best artists might just be able to do it Steelb_l_ade!

You will certainly be able to generate more interest in your loading screen update project if you host it as a Mini-Contest. Project leaders are entitled to do so! Promising a reputation award is a sure-fire participant magnet.

Here are two examples of previously conducted hosted project contests:

• Minigame Contest! (Closed)
• Mini-Contest: Wc3:WoW Logo Competition {FINISHED}

[Steelb_l_ade]

Umm, okay, so its jus a normal post titled that with youll get (x) as a reward on it yeah?

[Wolverabid]

Well met, Steelb_l_ade!

1. A "generic contest template" has been integrated into your post.
   
   
2. Please edit the post again to further detail the rules (if you find it to be necessary).
   
   
3. When you are satisfied with the rules, also edit the dates during which you wish the contest to be conducted.
   
   
4. I have closed the thread so no one can post until you finalize things. Reopen it when you are ready to begin.

[Steelb_l_ade]

Thanks Dude, your a gem!

[ragingspeedhorn]

I might just enter.

[Wolverabid]

No problem Steelb_l_ade.

Our Contest Calendar now includes an event to call some attention to this contest.

If you wish, by all means make a bumping post in Hosted Projects Update to further publicize it (I have already edited the original post).

Good luck all contestants, let's see the screens!

[DesKaladA]

I will try
moast likly lose but still

[ragingspeedhorn]

Btw, steel, do I HAVE to include the .blp? Can't you do that yourself? Because I have some problems with my programs/computer so I can't convert properly.

[Steelb_l_ade]

No, you don't have too, i can do that from this side, But please DO include the TGA to be converted rather than a .jpg or somehting as a jpg>TGA>BLP will lose a lot of quality.

[Pyritie]

Looks like noone's interested... or at least noone's posting any WIPs.

[ragingspeedhorn]

Or no one has started yet. The submission date is 1st december, plenty of time. I've made all my contest entries in the last minute and I've won both contests I've entered :P

[Modo]

I am entering, I will go to work right now. I am using GIMP. I do not know how large a BLP will be after conversion. I may just convert it myself.

How many entries can I make?

EDIT: I have uploaded my first entry (I did it at 1am, so it is probably not my final entry. It is probably a bit big as well, but I wanted to show that I am serious.)

What style do you want the image to be in? I did something a little random, but I could go to a specific style if you would like.

EDIT 2: More images, next time they will be in Aztec/Mayan style. I will have to do some research on it.
BTW, how did you get the Final Boss (sorry I forgot his name) to do that after image thing upon death, it looks fantastic.

[Steelb_l_ade]

You can make as many entries as you like, ROTG's theme itself is aztec/mayan culture with fantasy creatures, the font used for rotg's text is "folkard" but feel free to come up with whatever designs you like.
Thanks for your intrest!

[ragingspeedhorn]

So the design needs to reflect aztec stuff?
