By now, many of you have the Mythic Maps and have had a chance to tool around in them. In celebration of this, I’m opening the doors to the second Reclaimer contest: Sandbox!
Here’s the deal. I’m looking for an awesome new set to be used extensively in an upcoming Reclaimer. When it comes to Forge, I admit it – I’m a n00b. But I’ve seen some amazing stuff come out of the Halo community at large in the past, so I’m opening up an opportunity to you to help me by Forging a sweet Reclaimer set on the new Sandbox map – and to win some pretty sweet prizes in the process.
Use up your entire budget. Slam into that Object Cap. Interlock and geo-glitch the heck out of those objects. Use the Crypt, the surface, the sky bubble – or use all three. Whatever you choose to do, I want you to blow me away with Forging awesomeness. Make my jaw drop. Reshape Sandbox to your will.
What’s up for grabs? One lucky – and hardworking – Grand Prize winner will receive:
One runner-up will receive:
The top five Forgeries will find a place in the Reclaimer story during future arcs.
Here’s how you enter: the Sandbox Contest will be open until 10PM Eastern Daylight Time, Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Create your Forge masterworks on Sandbox, upload them to your file share, and email the link to your map to reclaimercomic@gmail.com. Include your name, email address, and mailing address. Entries that fail to adhere to these guidelines will be immediately disqualified.
So, what are you waiting for? You’ve got two weeks to enter, and the clock’s a-ticking!
Here it is at long last – the first official Reclaimer contest!
Here’s the deal – y’all are going to have to work for this one a little bit. Start with this image:
Create three more comic pages (not panels) that build from the above image. You can create more than three if you’d like, but you will only be judged on the first three. Entries will be judged on visual layout and quality, storytelling quality, and creativity. If you need a How-To, make sure to take a look at this tutorial for creating a Reclaimer comic.
This is your chance to get involved in the Reclaimer storyline. If you haven’t already, make sure to read back through the Reclaimer archives and get familiar with Viper – then set off running and tell a story about the origins of Viper.
What’s up for grabs? The winning comic will receive an autographed Forerunner image from PAX 2008 (courtesy of Louis Wu over at halo.bungie.org), a hooded Reclaimer sweatshirt signed by the author, 1600 Xbox Live points (contributed by Amer then00b), a signed print from the Reclaimer archives, and a feature spot on the Reclaimer site for your comic.
The contest will be open from today, Sept. 15 through midnight (EDT) Oct. 6. Entries can be submitted either through the contact form here on the site or can be sent directly to reclaimercomic@gmail.com (put “Reclaimer Comic Contest” in the subject line and include your gamertag and/or the name you use to comment in the body of the email).
Anything I missed? Send me a message – and have fun!
Update (16 Sept 2008 0800 EDT): All entries must be built from Halo 3 screenshots. You can submit your entry just as soon as you have it done, and for the purposes of the contest, I will only judge your first submission – so make it a good one. You’re more than welcome to submit more, though, if you’re feeling really creative and ambitious. They just won’t count toward the competition itself.
Update (18 Sept 2008 2111 EDT): Prizes added to the pool of 1600 Xbox Live points and one signed Reclaimer print.
