I object to your claims Posts: 15,025 Group: =SB= Queens Member #9,640 Joined: January 9, 2009 Gender: Female Country: United States of America 3DS Friend Code: 1891-1489-0768 Nintendo ID: Agent_Blaire Game Currently Playing: Yoshi's Island	(Note; Posting this here because there's really nowhere else since the Contest section is gone) 1st Annual =SB= Badnik Design Contest Overview: Hey good people of Sonic Blast, it’s your old pal Blaire here with a very special message. But first, a quick question. We all know that Sonic games have been home to some rather colorful and creative enemies, often called ‘Badniks’ in the classic era. But didn’t you ever, at one point, think that you could create a badnik that would be good enough for the games? That if you were called upon to design all the robots for the next Sonic game you could come up with something awesome? Well, I’m here to announce a way for you to channel that creativity right here on =SB=. Allow me to welcome you all to the 1st Annual =SB= Badnik Design Contest! The premise of this competition should be pretty clear – using your artistic skills, design a robot that looks like it could belong in a Sonic game. Simple, is it not? It can be something akin to the goofy-looking enemies from the classic games that were powered by small animals, or similar to the more realistic robots from some of the modern titles, though even the modern enemies have a very slight cartoon aspect about them. It’s your call. Rules: 1: You are allowed to use any artistic medium available to you, whether it be drawing, spriting, use of Photoshop, using computer-generated imagery, origami, whatever you wish. 2: You may only submit one Badnik for the contest. However, if you have already submitted one and would like to submit a different one, I will allow you to replace the first submission. Also, all submissions must be PMed to me. 3: As I mentioned before, spriting is allowed, but recolors will not be accepted. Also, if I find out someone has stolen artwork and is claiming it is theirs, it will be an instant disqualification. 4: Nothing vulgar, offensive, inflammatory, etc. Please remember that Sonic is a kids’ franchise. 5: Follow all other Sonic Blast rules. I don’t think I need to go into much detail. Or at least, I certainly hope I don’t. xP 6: Have fun. There’s not much more I need to say about this one. xD The Process: Basically, the contest will work in this fashion; -You will have until December 15th to submit your entries to me. -When you submit a badnik, I ask that you use this template; Code: `[b]Image:[/b] [b]Name:[/b] [b]Description:[/b]` Image: (The picture of your badnik.) Name: (What is the name of your badnik. Should be self-explanatory, really.) Description: (A short, paragraph-long description on how your badnik is supposed to go about beating Sonic. Does it ram into him? Shot bolts of lightning to stop him in his tracks? The world’s your oyster here! -The members of =SB= will vote on which badnik they like best. Voting will take place in a separate topic. The badnik with the most votes, put simply, wins, and will get a special banner designed by me. And, if we get enough entries, I’ll also give out second and third place prizes. Now wouldn’t that be nice? And speaking of which, the banners will look something like this; Now this is just a template to show you guys the layout of the banner; the final one(s) won't look quite like this. In fact, I am giving the winner(s) the option to customize their banners, in a sense. You can decide on the following things; -The character can be any major robot from the Sonic games. So the likes of Metal Sonic, Gamma, Omega, Emerl, Orbot...basically if they've been a fairly major part of at least one Sonic game, or the comics or tv shows, they're fair game -Text can be any color, though I may add a different colored stroke around it if it gets hard to see amidst the background. Otherwise, the stroke'll white, as you can see above. -Background can be any stage you want from the series. So, let’s see what the good folks of =SB= are capable of creating. Go to it.

"I didn't use the whole thing ...." Posts: 3,252 Group: =SB= Kings Member #9,868 Joined: March 28, 2009	Question. Is it just Badniks from the games or could you design something to fit into say Satam or the comics too?

Sandopolis Act 1 Posts: 1,567 Group: S Rank Hero Member #9,080 Joined: June 18, 2008 Gender: Male Steam ID: fwiss1174	Hmm, perhaps you should tier it into single-hit badniks and stronger ones (Minibosses)? Just sayin'. Funfax: RIFT, my original avatar, was meant to be a badnik early in the design process. On a more related note, would pencil art be acceptable? Because I can't color for my life.

Actually, when I had this contest in mind, I wasn't thinking about mini-bosses at all. I was just thinking about the robots that basically patrol the levels. ^^;; But if this contest is successful enough, I might make other contests for mini-bosses and such. That'd be cool. And yes, pencil art is perfectly acceptable.

My! That's a pretty snazzy performance there! Posts: 451 Group: C Rank Knight Member #12,740 Joined: January 29, 2012 Xbox Live Gamertag: MysticShaid Wii Friend Code: I forgot...	Wow, I am no artist, but this has definitely caught my eye. I do say, I want to take a crack at it, if I may. Also, I may or may not get to the deadline in time, so don't count on me 100%.

Come on people, show me what you're capable of!

	The rose tinted glasses of nostalgia often hide the stupidity of prior made statements. Nothing brings this revelation about as clearly as revisiting old posts...

	I have an interest in spriting. If anyone has a request, don't hesitate to ask. Deep stuff below: Spoiler: click to toggle The world. Filled with millions of differences. But despite the fact, we all are brothers and sisters, Inhabiting and living under the same sky. But despite this, we war and kill our siblings over trivial things, Staining the earth on which we all walk, With the blood of our brothers, With the blood of our sisters. The sky under which we go through our lives weeps, For the clouds surely know of the atrocities we commit. We slay, maim, gouge, and destroy our siblings, In the name of things which ought not be fought for. Approach a member of the family not, With the tainted lash of hatred, But with the pure flower of love. ======================================= The sword. A weapon who's blade is stained red With the blood of its countless victims. Were it alive, what would such a being feel? Would it live only to fight, And fight only to live? Would it be controlled By those with the skill to do so? I believe that it would cry For each person it has ever brought harm to, Its tears as red as the blood it has spilled.
