Contest Winners Announced!

That's right! The contest is over and the winner has been chosen! Not only is there the overall 10k Nexon prize winner, but there are also sub winners who received a special mention for their work. Go check it out! The link is under the title of the blog :)

by Kisarra of Ruairi

This is such a sweet picture. It made me kinda want to cry when I saw it. It's so sentimental... like as if Batt and her ego knew each other while the spirit was alive, and now he's dead but still with her. So sad. I don't know, that may sound cheesy to you, but I think this is a very touching picture >:U!

Thank you, Kisarra :D

by Coy of Alexina

This is one epic piece of work. By far, one of my favorites!!! I love the ego awakening and how graceful the spirit looks. The dress is very Disney Princess-like, and that's for sure an A+ in my books :D The angle is perfect, as well as the proportions. The Karu Forest background is amazing, and so is how the light through the tress projects itself onto Batt and the spirit.

I think I need to make this into a poster and frame it 8D

Excellent! Thank you, Coy!

by Hinairi of Mari

The use of warm colors in this picture is gorgeous! I love how Batt is holding both her wand and an arrow, to represent her two different fighting styles. Needless to say, the red bat wings coming from her back are creative and very well done :D

Thank you so much, Hinairi!

OMG GUYZ BATT IS LKE ON DA COVER OF ERINN WEEKLY!

This picture made my eyes swell! I was so stunned to see something like this, it is absolutely one of the top submissions. She looks like a temptress! My boyfriend even said he'd tap this ass.

Lol! Ok, but really. The Bat Dress design is perfect. The pose is flirtatious! The eyes are scandalous! The lips are so kissable! Everything about this picture has sex appeal, and that's HOT. The shading is great and really bring this picture to life.

Hooray for sexy submissions! Thank you, Ritona!

by Roujinou of Mari

It's so cool to look at this picture because it almost looks like its from an online animation video. I love this cute new version of Batt's hairstyle. The art is very clean and not overwhelmed with details, so it has a nice simple feeling to it :D

Thanks, Roujinou!

by Tsukei of Alexina

The best thing about this picture is definitely my hetero shield! The pose just makes Batt look so chill and awesome. I love how I'm standing by the Dunbarton Bank, too, because that's where I usually am for reals. xD The coloring is fantastic and I'm happy to see another picture with a nice background.

Thank you, Tsukei :D

Last Day for Art Contest!

That's right! The last day for the contest is today! I know there are a lot of you finishing up your drawings, but please remember to complete them and send them to battofalexina@live.com by tomorrow morning.

I have also received a little bit of crap for this contest, by the way, on mabimods.net. Apparently a few people wanted me to post a picture of the NX card to prove that I really have it. Even though I don't understand how that would prove I'm not a scammer; I could've just used an old one or taken a picture of one in the store... But oh well, I assure you all this is an honest contest and here are some pictures of the NX card, maybe they'll settle your minds if you started to get worried. :)

Yeah, btw, I hid the barcode/numbers because someone told me you could also claim your NX that way too if the card was activated, so I blocked it out just in case :P

by Soshi of Alexina

This one is totally original. It's imaginative and colorful. The first submission with a fully colored and drawn out background, along with my actual ego floating besides me!

I love the imagery of myself flying over Emain Macha on my broom mount (even though you can't fly in Emain, haha!) It kinda reminds me of Peter Pan flying over London... very dreamy. This is such a great fantasy piece, plus, my boobs don't look half bad either :P

Thank you, Soshi!

by Hurtfully of Ruairi

Sooo many words came to mind when I saw this! Mysterious, dark, rugged, twisted, sexy, playful, dangerous!

It makes me bite my lip and say OMGZ!

Hurtfully, you've really outdone yourself.... thank you :)

by Krissey of Alexina

This is definitely such a creative one! The combination of the Muffler Robe/Bat Dress is so unique! Extra kudos to the awesome bats in the background! This picture really captures the "kick ass" side of Batt!

Thank you so much, Krissey!

by Pixe of Mari

A cute little drawing of Batt in chibi-ish form :)

Look at how I'm hugging my ego! Awwwww, I love it!

Thank you so much for your participation in the contest, Pixe!

by Fwog of Tarlach

Very stunning. I just love how graceful this drawing is. Batt definitely looks very happy and innocent. The proportions are amazing and the color is perfect. My favorite parts are the hair and the little fills at the bottom of the Bat Dress.

Thank you, Fwog, for submitting an entry to the contest!

by Sapochino of Alexina

My first art contest entry in my High Class Armor. :D A pretty epic pose, I must say.

The colors are very nice, it almost looks like it was watercolored. I just love how I'm holding my ego; I think I might make this my signature for a while :)

by Dissfated of Alexina

I was just in the Fan Art section of the Nexon's Mabinogi forums and saw that Dissfated posted a thread selling art of characters, and in one of their example pictures was a sketch of me 8D. I'm not sure if they were planning on submitting it to my contest, and if they were, I'm not sure if its a complete work or not (but I'm assuming it is). It's a very majestic sketch.

Dissfated, if you see this, let me know somehow if this is a contest submission and if it's a completed work or not. Until then I will keep it beautifully posted :P

by Compiler of Alexina

This is so cute! I look like I just came out of a Manga! This should be a plush doll; I wanna squeeze it *o*

Thank you for your submission, Compiler!

Don't forget, everyone, the contest ends this coming Sunday!

by Fluor of Alexina

Absolutely gorgeous! I think this piece is very elegant and seductive. Thank you so much, Fluor!

by Kiminia of Tarlach

:P This thing is so funny and cute. Not an actually contest entry, though. I just put it up for the lawls.

by Fanghimura of Mari

Very pretty ^^
The pose is super adorable and I just love the way my ego glows. Thank you very much for your participation, Fang!

by Aireo of Alexina

The first submission of my contest. 8D

This isn't the official submission, it is only a rough sketch. I'm excited to see her final drawing!

Batt's Fan Art Contest

(I had to take this off the Nexon forums in fear of having my account banned/suspended. Pretty ghetto. However, this is still the same contest!)

Hello everyone! My name is Batt of the Alexina server (see siggy) and I'm holding an all server art contest! Horray! Wheee! Yay! Applause!

So, the contest is simple, really. I'm looking for the best drawing of my character! Anyone can participate and everyone has an equal chance of winning. I will be rewarding first place with 10k NX! After the contest is over, and if you have won, I will add you in game and send you your free NX code. That doesn't sound too bad, does it?

You are free to be AS CREATIVE AS YOU WANT TO BE in my contest. You can draw my character in any pose and get as inventive as you possibly can. The more imagination you use in your piece of art, the higher your chance of winning!

I ask that you only draw my character in the outfits you see in the picture provided below. You can tweak and change the look of the Bat Dress, Muffler Robe, and High Class Leather Armor, as long as I am still able to tell what it is I'm wearing. If creating a combat picture of my character, please use my Wing Bow or my ego wand and shield only. Please include in any full body art piece my ego wand. If I am not holding it, please have it sheathed at my side ;)

Please post links to your submissions in the comments of this post, or send the links to Batt's email: BattofAlexina@live.com . Attachments sent to this e-mail address will NOT be opened and will not count as submissions in the contest. The contest will end on SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 2010. The winner will be announced Monday along with second and third place winners.

your art will be judged on:
1. color
2. value and texture
3. porportions
4. detail
5. overall quality
6. creativity
