So, last month, Exalted Third Edition was finally released to Kickstarter backers. They're extremely solid PDFs, and the art in particular is pretty great.




Okay, most of the art. There's a smidgen of Poser art and derivative works in there.

If you're an Exalted fan, you might have heard that Onyx Path are going to replace the pieces that weren't well-received. Personally, I think this sounds like a job for goons.


So what is this?

This is an Exalted art contest inspired by the old WTF D&D art contests. The goal is to draw some sweet Exalted Third Edition art that could work as a replacement.

This can be either your own original Exalted art, or your take on an existing piece of Exalted art (such as lady eating all the cakes and man channeling visions of videogames).

Entries will be judged by me, a MYSTERY JUDGE, and thread reactions, based on how cool and funny they are.

Entries may be posted in this thread or emailed to me at ettin.sa@gmail (use the subject line ORIGINAL EXALTED ART DO NOT STEAL).


What are the prizes?

The three best entries will win amazing prizes:

Grand Prize: A $75 Amazon gift card and a MYSTERY PRIZE.

Second Place: A $50 card and a MYSTERY PRIZE.

Third Place: A $25 card and a MYSTERY PRIZE.

If you prefer, prizes can be in the form of DriveThruRPG credit.


Do I need to know or play Exalted to enter?

gently caress no. You're free to look it up or browse the Exalted thread if it sounds like something you'd be into, but you don't need to be a tabletop gamer to enter. At the least, you can always just draw your own version of some existing Exalted art. If you'd like to see more art, I'm sure someone in this or the Exalted thread could oblige.


When's the deadline?

No later than December 7, 2015.

You could always try DAZ Studio, which is like Poser, but offers the core program for free.

I can't draw for poo poo, but I do love commissioning art!

Here's a Tya manta ray lunar wearing a moonsilver skinsuit and hearthstone bracers, wielding a Chiaroscuro green-glass sword.



Here's an entire Circle of Exalts, including a Twilight, a Cathak Zenith, a Sidereal, a Fiend, and a Slayer.


I didn't specifically commission this for Exalted, but it totally works! A combat sorceress inspired by 14th century Ottoman mail, Islamic mosque geometry for the spells, and the Empire of Mali.


And here's an adorable manta ray steed mutated to walk on land!

srsly why do people like this kind of "style" its lazy and bad. one in the middle looks like a man and i dont think thats intentional. asian lady suffering from barnacle jim syndrome. also terrible hands. tho i dont see red noses on everyone like normal with this style so thats a plus

Well this thread's about as dead as Ferrinus' BP vs EXP horse. Which is kind of sad since there's a really decent prize pool up for grabs.

I am not AN AMAZING ARTIST but I drew some OOTS-style pictures of the Abyssal Pirate Crew we've been playing on SA for the last few years. So yep, here they are!
I'm actually short two new additions to the thread, so I might add to this or try to come up with something more cool if there's any actual competition posted.

So post some competition, you scrubs.

I wasn't expecting a lot of posts, it's kind of a niche contest and it takes time to art anyway. I just felt like doing something and the Exalted launch was right there. :toot:

(Next contest will be about :words:, unless someone else wants to take it.)

Ettin, I'll take this medium serious, here:

The deathlord that was our adversary two big campaigns ago:


A badass Earth Caste Lost Egg that helped us out for a while:


The party's gunslinging Righteous Devil Dawn Caste:


The whole gang, taking a clandestine meeting with a Sidereal contact:

Third Place

You might not be AN AMAZING ARTIST but I still like that you took the time to make something cool for your group, so you get third prize! Let me know where to send that $25 gift card to (or if you'd prefer DTRPG credit or something instead).


Second Place

theironjef posted:

The deathlord that was our adversary two big campaigns ago:

I like that you make cool stuff for your group and this is pretty cool as well, so second place is yours! Again, tell me how to send you a gift card or let me know if you'd like a non-Amazon prize.


GRAND PRIZE


I wasn't expecting anyone to actually go for the Savant and Sorcerer knockoff, so, uh, well done I guess! The actual entry is pretty good too, so it looks like grassy gnoll is our winner! Give me your prize deets, etc.


MYSTERY PRIZE

Speaking of, any contest winner who would like a copy of Savant & Sorcerer, let me know. :getin:

Aw yeah. Now I have Christmas money, it's a true Exalted miracle. My email is theironjef at gmail, and Amazon is preferred.

Also Holden if you're giving out mystery prizes, we'd love to interview you on our podcast System Mastery. We're normally dicks on there but we've been nice to designers in the past. Friendly questions about design and then a round of answering the internet's Dumbest Fan Mail (tm).
