Epic Battle Fantasy 4 - Foe Competition

Posted by matt-likes-swords - January 2nd, 2011


Epic Battle Fantasy 4 is still ages away, but I thought that I'd announce this now to give everyone plenty of time.

When developing Epic Battle Fantasy 3, I asked fans to send in drawings of foes which they wanted to see in the game. Quite a few eventually made it in, here's some of the winners:

Gunslinger
Clays
Fire Elemental

So basically I'm going to do the same thing again.
The franchise seems to have gotten a lot more attention since the last competition, so this should be even more interesting.

Requirements:

Drawings must be your own work.

Drawings must be original, for example, not recolored Sonic or Pokemon.

I don't mind if it's drawn traditionally or digitally.
I'll need at least one colored picture though.

It's gotta be RPG-ish. Whatever that means.

They must be work-safe. It can't be a giant penis. Uh..

It must not be human.
Preferably not very human-like at all.
Mainly because of....

They must be easy to motion tween.
This means they will be animated by just moving parts around and not redrawing anything.
So they shouldn't have too many movable parts. (Humans and spiders etc would require lots of parts).
Hell if it only has one moving part (for example, it's a rock), I won't complain.
Of course, if your foe is good enough to become a boss, I'll put in more effort.

Think of some attacks and properties for them.
Not really essential because I'll probably change a lot of them to fit the game.

Possibly think of several varieties so I can recycle the animations for several foes. For example an ice version and a fire version.

They should be different from existing foe types.
For example: No more turtles, or slimes etc.
Unless you want it to be a re-skin of an older foe, which is okay, but it'll have to be pretty much exactly the same shape.
In fact doing a re-skin of an existing foe would probably increase your chances of winning since it's less effort for me to implement.

Submission:

Please post your drawing on DeviantArt or on the game's FaceBook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Epic-Ba ttle-Fantasy-3/121491377896263), otherwise it will be hard for me to keep track of them.

Submissions from the previous competition will also be considered again.

You can send in as many foes as you want.

Prizes:

Millions of people will see your foe.
You'll get a brief mention in the game's art gallery, and probably have your original drawing included as well, if there's enough space.

Deadline:

Competition will end after at least 4 months. Probably much longer.
Winners probably won't start being picked any earlier than that.

Picture unrelated.

Just make it a rock. Would be awesome.

I WOULD contribute to the demon/hellspawn category... sadly my drawing is not up to par.

I would draw a monster but my drawings are too embarassing for anyone to see TT_TT but i do have ideas

<a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/randomplayingnoob/ghost-swordsman">http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/ra ndomplayingnoob/ghost-swordsman</a>

I think it should be Guarding entrances ETC.

Not that I want to have anything spoiled, but do you have any particular plot/area/element/species/whatever in mind for the enemies for us to draw?

It's just that "draw bad guys" isn't very specific. I'm afraid to get rejected because my monster design wasn't relevant to any plot/area/element/species you had in mind.

Unless the entire plot/etc... will be dictated by what we draw? ;)

HEY! y not make rival characters for the heros to fight with! only there rivals is 2 girls and 1 boy team and ether of the girls uses guns and swords and the boy uses dark magic instead!, hehe, i wonder if u can make a good story out of that! :D

I so have to enter this time around. Good luck planning this one :P. I find tennants helps the imagination a bit. though you should already know that :p.

ugg , i have an idea for a boss buck i suck at drawing and no drawing program for my computer, any other ways i colud get you my idea

how do i send it to u? I don't know ur email, and i've never used dA before. If u could give me some directions on how to use it.

DA is pretty easy to use, just make an ccount and submit it.

It should live in a very dark scary enviroment.

Cool! I'm totally gonna work on some doodles during school! xD That seems to be when my drawings are best...

i always liked to draw bosses from games and rpg's shame i couldnt draw that good back then ^^

can i beta test, i have 0 drawing skills unless im tracing.
OMG PUT A STICK FIGURE AS A BOSS LIKE FROM ANIMATOR VS ANIMATION

I would love to try my hand at making an enemy for your game but i cant draw...at all. I wonder though since i can't draw if i could get a friend of mine to draw it for me would it still count as my work?

not really

Can i just describe mine? I'm a terrible artist. It's a big floating eyeball, with wings on it, made of flame. The pupil shoots lasers, and the iris changes color, depending on the element.

that kind of defeats the point of the whole competition

so you think the robot angel and beelzebot would fit into your universe?

I might actually give this a try. I once drew my own Pokemanz collection, maybe I can find some interesting stuff in there....

Might I suggest you also post this on Kongregate? It's pretty obvious EBF3 was loved there, still on the front page. Just to get a larger sample size of enemies.

er, where would be the place to post it? I can't do news posts there D:

Funny how you say it must be SFW when there's already tentacles in the series :o

Are you going to need any sort of music, or such? I could also help out with testing if necessary.

probably not D:
