So one of the artist on the AnthemRO forums drew a very nice picture of a priest mixed with the Pokemon Flaaffy. The only problem I saw is that it wasn't colored. Well I asked her If I could color it for practice and she agreed.

Image by: Karitsa


Color By: HornGoddess (Me)


She liked it so much that she has asked me to color another image for her. It's going to take a bit more time since I have lots of things to do this week and my BBF is coming into town next week.  

So the new winners of the historical person contest have been announced. There were so many great entry's, I really can't wait until the next contest. You can see all of the entries here and the main forum post here.

The winners are as followed and I'm going to quote Varis on his input on the works.

Grand Prize -- 15,000,000 zeny
After sweating over this decision for the past several days, I have finally decided that the winner is Akishira. There are aspects of the other two top competitors that I thought were done a little better than Aki's (namely the incorporation of the text), but the overall colors, and character design I feel are best in Aki's.

Runners Up -- 7,000,000 zeny
I was just going to have one runner up, but I seriously can't decide between these two, so I will present two winners here: Wang and HornGoddess.

Creepiest Entry -- 1,000,000 zeny
I was actually torn between both Einstein entries for this one, but I think I'm going to have to give it to Lunagata since her entry was a complete original, while ApPLe's was just an edit of one of her pre-existing works. Also, see below for the other reason.

Most Humorous Entry -- 1,000,000 zeny each
Considering there really was only one humorous entry (and it does indeed make me laugh every time I look at it), ApPLe's, then the award goes to her for this one.

So it turns out I tied for second. I'm very grateful since I thought I was so going to lose to Wang. I really like that art style I wish I know how to do something like that.  

The AnthemRO art section has made new contest that really isn't a contest, but a art project everyone can join in on. The topic is making your own Ragnarok character as your favorite Pokemon. So far not many people have entered in anything, but some have came out with their ideas. They are all sounding great.

Now to the point I've made mine and so far not too many people saying anything about it. That kinda makes me nervous, but what can you do. I'm not an active spammer in the art forums and I don't have a thread to display or for others to ask for their own artwork to be done. I guess I just feel mostly left out of the loop. The only thing I guess I can do is keep entering into the contest and see if I get more accepted.

Ok..ok So the image I did was of the Pokemon Persian done as a Assassin Cross. Yea, I know I don't have an Assassin Cross but I don't think anyone else will mind too much.

Hodremlin and Beholder were added to the first floor of Rachel Sanctuary.

4/16/08
Sorry about the lack of updates recently. I was trying to get some other technical issues taken care of, and wasn't updating this thread correctly. Here's whats been done since the last update.

New version of the client (1.0.1.2). It should get sent out to everybody if you run AnthemPatch.exe
Another patch should also fix the music for Veins and the surrounding areas.
All of Rachel Sanctuary should now be populated with mobs, including Gloom Under Night. Their drop tables are still incomplete.

4/22/08
All Veins field maps are now populated with the correct monsters, including the new Magmaring outside of Thor Volcano.
Galions are now aggressive.

4/29/08
All Thor Volcano mobs have been added besides Ifrit with incomplete drop tables. The attack speed for a lot of the monsters seems to be incorrect.

 

The contest has reached the point were all entries must be submitted by now. We will see who are the winners later this weekend. You can view the main post here.
