There's obviously a lot of artistic talent among the COH fanbase, and we had a lot of fun running this contest, so I think it's safe to say that we'll be doing more of this in the future. |

Will this be a more regular thing, being able to contribute artwork that might possibly be able to be added to the game in this fashion? Perhaps as a way for SGs to personalize their bases more, for example? Maybe we could come up with more fake billboards that can be displayed around Paragon City/Rogue Isles, like a competitor to Up and Away Burger, or something. |
In fact, the Community and Art teams are looking into the next fan-driven contest right now, so stay tuned for details. As for more fake billboards around Paragon and the Rogue Isles--I love it! We'll see about making that happen. Thanks for the idea.

So far, we're only committing to putting the adaptations shown into the actual game (we would certainly change Tyrant to Cole in any final version). If time allows, I'd LOVE to create adaptations of our runners-up as well, but we'll see how it goes.

Congrats to the winners! My hat is off to you. Look forward to seeing these in game!
Excellent, EXCELLENT artwork.
Congratulations to the winners!

I hate to say it, but this is my thought as well. I have as much artistic talent as the wood from which my house was built. Maybe even less, since sometimes I see the face of the Virgin Mary in its grain. It mocks me. |

Unfortunately, that means that just about any contest that requires some sort of artistic talent will be forever beyond my reach.Although, I'm not saying or implying they shouldn't have such contests, because I always love seeing the results that come out of them. It just goes to show what an amazingly talented player base we have!
Congratulations to the winners, and I am also looking forward to them being integrated into the game!
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
Can't wait to see these in game . Congratz infinity to the winners 
Congratulations to all the winners. Well done.

/em begin shameless plug
In the meantime, there's always the Rogues Radio Logo Competition still running, if anyone feels like entering?
/em end shamless plug
Sorry, couldn't resist! For what it's worth, there's some serious talent on these forums and I'd love to see more of it appearing in the game!

Sorry, I should of said I hope that future contests are more global, Forgot that this was open to residents of Europe and US which is an improvement, but had put it from my mind as little difference to me as I live in Australia and wasn't eligable.

There was no mention of US residency being a requirement for this particular contest either, so hopefully this is a step towards positive for those of us beyond the oceans for future events! Many congratulations to all the winners, them's some fine arts. Looking forward to seeing them in-game. (As an aside, what about the Sheep one as an unlockable chest icon for the mega-resistant?  ) |
Cole should kneel before Slax, before it's too late and he gets mercilessly farmed like the n00b he is.

I know, for contest purposes that's the same as the US; I'm just all proud and stuff.
(Don't forget your skill testing question!)Great entries! Congrats to all the winners!
Grats to the winners - great designs guys!
Meh I didn't care for the first place graffiti one. and I much prefer the original graffiti number 2 to the adaptation. The rest I loved.
Hey guys! I'm the one that's currently in Scotland (not born here though!). Thanks for all your kind words and I'm absolutely blown away that it won! Can't wait to see all the entries in game, especially the sheep one lol!
Great Job Soulstorm!
as per...
I *really* liked the winners and it made me wish I had the art skill to pull off my own idea a little better. Congrats to all! Enjoy the prizes and in game fame.
I can't wait to see these in the actual game.. and I also hope we get more contests like this, even without the hardware prizes.
