The TaleWorlds Forum Modding Contest - July 2018.
Theme: Mount&Blade Comic
Theme: Mount&Blade Comic
Welcome to the fourth edition of the TaleWorlds forum modding contest. It's time to test our artists in the last type of contest we're planning to organize. This particular contest is specific since it doesn't carry significant OSP value, instead it focuses on artistic form. The format of the contests is still being worked and improved on, you're welcome to voice your feedback in the thread. We're still experimenting with what works well for Art themes that can fit into a month, but also provides a challenge and allows originality.
For our first theme we picked something broader to allow various styles and ideas. The task is to create a comic(specifications in rules section) based on any official M&B title including DLC. Mount&Blade, Warband, Napoleonic Wars, Viking Conquest, With Fire and Sword - your choice.

Judging
The submissions will be rated on a points system, based on their performance in the following three categories: Visuals, Originality, Technique. Once the submission end date is reached and the submissions are closed, the judges will review the submissions. Each of the two judges will submit up to 10 points for each category, which means the maximum amount of points a submission can get is 60.
Further explanation on the categories:
Visual Quality- The visual appeal of a submission, how well the different shapes, colours and features fit into the overall look, design and composition.
Originality and Creativity - The use of new and original art and narrative(if any) concepts while designing your submission.
Interpretation and Clarity - How well the comic conveys a message to readers.
The Judging Committee is comprised of two veteran artists - Merlkir and Densetsu.
