Contest [Issue 57] The Master Craftsman

[Flexoo 6,980]

 

Tankers, you steadily prove how broad-talented you are in whole lot of different spheres. Since we try to relate and give you a growing space to develop all sorts of talents even further, we decided to hold a contest suited for those who transcend in handiworks.

 

 

If you feel competent enough, get your carving instruments ready as there are loads of crystals to win. But, let's get to the assignment, shall we? The job is to make an outstanding hand-made creation. The choice of material is up to you. You can use literally anything - paper, modeling clay, wood, noodles.

 

What you decide to illustrate with your handcrafted creation is of your choice as well, however give it a thought first and try to make something original and of course Tanki-related. Entries will be judged mainly on quality, originality and complexity.

 

Rules

 

- Plagiarism is, as always, prohibited and results to disqualification.

- Multiple entries are allowed, however only your best entry will be judged.

- Post the photos of your creations in this topic only. If you are submitting more than one entry, please put them all in 

  one post, preferably in spoiler.

 

Rewards 

 

It wouldn't be a contest without prodigious prizes to win and we surely do not plan to let you down when it comes to awarding the best.

 

The master craftsman will be enriched with main prize of 40 000 crystals.

Second placed tanker will be given 30 000 crystals.

Third placed tanker will obtain 20 000 crystals.

 

Other entries worthy of recognition will be awarded with 5 000 crystals.

 

Deadline: 28th October 2016, 23:59 UTC+0.

I wish all you craftsmen the best of luck!

im goign to give it a try

[Bugs.meeny 1,013]

Nice, I will surely enter!

[Ninja 10,468]

What if two people make matchstick tanks, will it be plagiarism?

[Flexoo 6,980]

As long as the entries are not identical, it's not plagiarism.

[Tap_Dancer 1,360]

Can I use my Craft-a-tank entry for this or does it have to be made specially for the contest?

[Flexoo 6,980]

It should be completely new.

[BlueDragon_tamki 3,204]

Damn this is impossible

[Maloo 48]

Say I made a tank for another contest that was held, would that one be accepted? It doesn't say in the rules, but I'll check.

 

It's pretty schmick. :P

Sorry, didn't see that. :P

[Flexoo 6,980]

No problem :).

[Rico_Viking_9000 942]

I'm in it to win it

[DragonOfStorms 2,706]

Handmade. Does that imply a 3D model? Or would an illustration be acceptable?

[Flexoo 6,980]

If you mean computer 3D model - no, those will not be accepted.

[DragonOfStorms 2,706]

If you mean computer 3D model - no, those will not be accepted.

No, when I say 3D model, I'm referring to a wood carving, Lego model, etc.

 

What I'm asking is this: Are hand drawn illustrations acceptable?

[Flexoo 6,980]

No, hand drawing won't be considered.

[M-axis 589]

I think I'll go in for this....do we need multiple photos of our entry from different angles?

[Flexoo 6,980]

^ It's not necessity, but you can include photos from different angles.

Kinda wish I had done craft-a-tank, this was pretty fun to make!

Made with: white modeling clay, a match for the flame, and part of a matchstick as a rotation axis between the hornet and firebird

 

 

 

 

The colors were not as similar to the game as I was hoping, because I did not have a gray or silver sharpie. However, the black sharpie and a pencil worked decently well.

Lux's Factory Battle!

 

Welcome tankers, to an incredibly exclusive set of images providing insight as to how your very own tank was built. These images were obtained by Lux after a fierce fire fight with guards and workers who had been instructed not to let a single human soul in. Unless said human; was dead. 

 

We witness a Wasp'nTwins tank in its latter stages of production, where a turret is being lowered onto its hull. To the side we can see a complex control unit which includes two radars to monitor the factory's security. Above and around them we see various controls to manage the entire tank's production, from a wheel to calibrate its turret turning speed to joy sticks used for controlling lifting gear. A sinister looking submachine gun is all that remains of Lux's heroic battle...

 

This lego creation was inspired by the TX cinematic trailer and Lego creator Tclaar

Please keep multiple pictures in a spoiler

Ok, I'm confused about the rules. Are we allowed to use blocks/Legos...? Or does it have to be seamless?u

[Ninja 10,468]

No, when I say 3D model, I'm referring to a wood carving, Lego model, etc.

No, hand drawing won't be considered.

^ Flex didn't mention that Lego won't be accepted, so I assume it it.

[Flexoo 6,980]

Yes, you can use lego as well.

[M-axis 589]

whoa, um...that lego piece was cool but unexpected.

 

@Flexoo, how are you judging? But similarity to ingame, quality of work or what?
