Mystic Masterpieces Art Contest

MYSTIC MASTERPIECES

VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY

Calling all practitioners of the arcane arts! Mystic Masterpieces is here, and we want you to show off your skills and create a masterpiece that captures the essence of golems or all things sorcery.

The prize? Your artwork will be featured in-game within decorative placeables for all to see. So, get ready to let your creativity soar and conjure up something truly magical. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to showcase your talent and become a part of Hyboria’s beauty!

Submissions will be judged by a team at Funcom based on creativity and presentation. 10 winners will receive a Premium Battle Pass for the next chapter of the next Age, and of those 10, three (3) submissions will be chosen as grand prize winners to additionally be converted into in-game decorative placeables.

These placeables will be picture frames containing the winning submissions with credit to you, and as such, only 2D images of artwork will be eligible. Now, you could build a physical object for this, but only images of the object will be accepted, and should that submission win, the image will be used as the placeable. The same goes for 3D art; you will need to submit an image of your rendered model(s) or scene.

Winners’ submissions will be implemented in-game as part of a future update.

:star: RULES:

Submissions must…

  • Be original, human-created art; AI-generated images will not be eligible.

  • Include some aspect of sorcery within Conan Exiles (spells, golems, etc.)

  • Be “safe for work”, e.g. nothing lewd or inappropriate.

  • Be in a common, easily-readable format such as .png or .jpg. Please, no .webp or other weird formats.

  • have common aspect ratios such as 16:9 (Landscape), 9:16 (Portrait), or 1:1 (Square).

  • Be able to be displayed on a flat 2D surface.

My daughter loves to draw. If i’ll ask her to draw for me she will.
So, if she draws, will it count ?
Then, do you need the original or just a photo of it?

Excellent.

I think a cropped picture of the art will suffice. Just make sure the picture only includes the art itself (no table or brushes, etc)

One of the biggest reasons why I don’t submit even to my local shows is lack of time.

I might be an artist but I don’t do art for a living… nevermind passion projects such as this.

I actually have something for this. It’s the first time I’ve actually drawn something and digitally colored it in years. So I’m impressed with myself! Lol… :sunglasses:unfortunately, I noticed some minor errors so I’ll have to go back into my office and tweak it tomorrow before I submit. :expressionless:

Hey folks, thanks for your patience - to answer a couple questions:

Yeah, this is fine.

I think it’s fine to have that submitted. We’d prefer the most clear image possible so a scanned image would be ideal, but most phones and cameras are high-res enough to get a good picture.

I submitted yesterday. Wasn’t sure what res you needed, so I sent a hi and lo res to be sure. Lo res was still 12”x12” at 72ppi though.

How about a Loot Goblin?

What kind of decorative placeables can be?
Like a banner or painting?

Paintings, most likely.

They did it for the first building contest, they’re the ones we currently have available.

can I get hired through this?

Unlikely. Competition states what the prize is. I’d be more enthusiastic and put more hours into mine if the prize was ‘get a job with the art department’, however it’s just a battlepass and exposure (ie Funcom wants free art), coupled with surrender all copyright claim to the submitted artwork
