Discussion: City of Heroes Declare Your Loyalty 6 Year Anniversary Contest!

I'll see which way works best, I dont know about others, but I will definitely post mine after the deadline so others can see it, I doubt I'll be a winner but i'd like others to see the work.

In other news, darn, so many people also seem to be doing the propaganda loyalist posters.

I for one am quite a fan of our benevolent overlord who rules with a satin glove covered iron fist.

Here's another question.

Let's say I have an idea where there's a loyalist poster that can be trivially defaced by the resistance. Is it permissible to include both versions (in layers via .psd) and if so, should I enter it as a Loyalist or Resistance? My inclination is Resistance, with the understanding that if used it should probably show up in undefaced form.

Entry Sent! And a new avatar image to boot!

tres strange, as it doesnt appear at work as a valid link at all. I'll check on my home computer as well tonight

checked on my home machine, still can't see your avatar here either, it might be displaying from your internet cache?

as for ideas, I hope this sparks some imagination for the resistance!

Sent my entry in this morning and was wondering if I was supposed to get some kind of confirmation e-mail to know that it was received?

alas no conformation email that I know of. Guess we'll find out when the competition is announced.

I'll be posting mine late tonight/ early tommorrow morning. AKA once the entry date is passed.

Well here was my entry.

Mother was the biggest issue, her costume was simply too simple and in the long run I think it hurt the design, but she fit the concept the best.

This was the final version I submitted.



This was the alternate idea, that I wasn't able to submit due to the entry limit.





Well good luck to all those who entered, and I'm sorry for those who couldn't enter due to where they reside. May the best man, woman or androgynous robot win!

having gone vertical as forementioned, I went with a subtle reminder of the past that Praetorian Earth had experienced, and then reminded the citizens who got them to where they were.

***Updated***
I went with the style of the Vanguard "they are still among us" style of posters, a bit dramatic but effective nontheless. My image was a heavily appliqued screenshot of boomtown with the obvious nuclear blast added (refer to Going Rogue backstory for relevence)

not sure its a winner though...

Here was my original idea which I abandoned for several reason (one being it was vertical and another because I figured that citizens might not know him as Tyrant and just Cole).



And here was my final submission. I wanted to do more, but ran out of time. Click either for larger versions.

Well this is my feeble attempt:

The idea is that the praetorian star acts as a 'halo', making Cole (the outline) seem almost angelic. The crowd cheering in the background is reminiscent of when the citizens of earth almost forced him to become the emperor. Cole is standing there triumphant and the simple 'perfection' slogan reminds those looking at the billboard of how he has transformed the barren nuclear wasteland into his gold-lined utopia. The golden-hue again suggests that utopian feel.

The 'Tyrants Tower' within Cole could be seen both as a promotion and reminder of the above, but also as a subtle warning: 'I am watching you'.

Minimalist but hopefully effective enough.

*goes thru thread* Where's all the resistance artz?

Viva la Résistance!

Mine is very low-quality indeed, it is basically a 10 minute thing.

I really wanted to spend more time on it, however family thing's came up.


Means I also entered late.. but oh well. Atleast i've done something.

Well I see I shouldn't have bothered entering after seeing the stuff so far :[.
All I had for the graffiti contest with using windows paintshop was [ with my childishish cut and paste ] a brick wall with that pic of Marauder on it and spray paint saying "Michael don't forget your roots. Join Us ! " after reading his story about saving all the survivors and defeating the bad guys along the way etc... Ah well, maybe next Anniv.

This was what I went for...
First thought was more of just the banner on the right....
Saw some banners in the movie clip from the website, but still wanted/needed a more graphical approach. Thought the text would help to stir the loyalty side of the people, while still making sense to us.

Remaking the helmet wasnt so bad. Kept the gold and silver combo from his look. And I went with the laurel around the star, as its whats also on Cole's chest/armour. Thought that was a nice bold touch on the darker red and blue.

Anyway, there she be.
Enjoy!
