Hey guys,

For Halloween we are hosting a Wind Slayer Screen Shot Contest!

Details
Dress your character up however you want and take a funny / scary screen shot with at least 1 monster on the screen.

Date
This contest begins 10/15 and ends 10/28

Rules
-The screen shot must be less than 700 pixels in width so that it can fit in the forums.
-Only a maximum of Five entries per person / spark ID can be entered.
-Edit the screen shot however you like. Feel free to add text, or anything you want as long as it involves an in game screen shot of your character and at least one monster. But remember that the entries are being judged based on how scary / funny they are, and this will largely depend on creativity, not editing skills.

Prizes
The person who submits the winning screen shot (determined by a few other Outspark employees and I) will win a Forum MVP Badge and a 7-day 100% EXP Booster for Wind Slayer!

Good Luck!

Sure go nuts if you want, but remember that it must be a wind slayer screen shot of your character and a monster that you are editing!

Hmm... does this mean we can edit how our character looks or the monster?

The character and monster will be in it... just modified.

As long as it still is obvious that it is your character and a monster from Wind Slayer.

I think most of the editing will have to be to the background or adding in chat bubbles or some other image, in order to make it scary or funny but keeping the theme of a Wind Slayer screen shot. Entries will be judged not on editing skills but just overall scary / comedic value. Of course, looking nice is important also but focus on creativity!

While quoting you, I took the liberty of having the image display without having to click on the link. I hope that's okay.

Also, that is an awesome entry! Very funny, haha.

I definitely can't wait to see more entries.

Keep it PG-13 Rated. So nothing excessive, seems the appropriate answer.

^^^^^^^^^^^seriously theres only two entries wats happenin with you ppl who say ur gonna enter? i know for me, im sick, and i turned mine in...u guys like dying or somethin?^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

but you know it IS hard to find scary stuff in ws, the graphics are supposed to appeal to players so there's rarely gonna be anything remotely scary about the sprites. most of the entries are***gonna be funny ones related to halloween since its so hard to find scary stuff

***Edit 1: probably

10-21-2009, 06:40 PM

Funny is very appropriate for this too. It can be hard to make a picture scary with Wind Slayer's cute graphics :p

Its hard to edit photo and to think some motif lol

Here is my entry

The story goes like this

This Halloween the player strike back to Game Master
After the GM cast monsters the players hits the monster and let them chase the GM and Gm run to the Flea Market and lots of low level players died

And for us we just chatting about and talking around whats happening below with the GM.

and as final strike, the pet of OrangeSlayer become a Fire Frog that was a GuriGuri before .. to attack the GM..

This Halloween its players turn..

Heheehe

I just trying my luck

Happy Halloween

hey sakura good job but one question...why didnt u just copy over my demon ssiyo from the MONSTER Fan Art July MVP? itv wouldve been easier if u just did that, rather than mimicking a ssiyo.

I feel sad for the low levels and all but... shouldnt ur monsters be jumping, since YOU attacked them they should also chase YOU....so lil backfire?
