Hrm... I might be up for this, if I survive AP tests... eh, that'd give me 2 weeks to work on it, that should be enough.
EDIT: Oh, is there somewhere I can find screenies of previous Masquerade Balls so I can get an idea what it looks like/what people did?

Last year's thread: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?p=3895051
I already have a basic idea of what I'm gonna do. Got 2 weeks left of school so I won't have good time until that's all over though.

Sweet i'll enter this contest. It was fun making one last year.

I gave it a go -
Hopefully I've caught any typos - I'm still not used to my laptop and having to hit the keys a bit harder than my regular computer, heh.
Edit: I just looked at the wiki page and saw the invite from last year...my poster being very similar is incredibly unintentional >.<

I took some inspiration from the picture that Mr. G posted of his Texmod to Serenity Temple for the occasion (thank you once again!), hence all the purpliness.
Good luck to all who enter, I can wait for this years Ball.
Mr. G
ooooh, thats a good one
Konig Des Todes
Ok, I gotta know, how do you guys get the mesmer? (I'm not wanting to use the mesmer itself, but a different image, but it's just as hard to get that as the mesmer)...
xNomaDx
You just cut her out. That, or use somebodies render, in which case you should give credit to .

Image itself I found googling for GW images :P
As for cutting things out, I use the pen tool in Photoshop. This is a decent tutorial.

Magnetic Lasso tool is what I used. I only have PSElements, so I don't have that fancy-shamncy pen tool. :P
Konig Des Todes
@xNomaDx I was doing that, but god was it annoying.
@Mr. G Thanks forgot about that.
I feel outclassed as I don't have photoshop or any "special" picture program... >_>

I guess it just takes practice/the right technique. it's definitely possible though!

Wow! So much good stuff. But I have to ask...
Am I the only one drawing this? (or, rather, who will be drawing it - right now I'm procrastinating and admiring my ele's pretty new Vabbian armor)
One AP test closer to being able to work...

I would draw it, but I'm unsure of my artistic ability. :P So I'll stick with eye killing screen staring.
Verene
I'd draw something, but I'd be more likely to get halfway through it, put it aside to do something else, and then completely forget about it until it's too late. I've got no attention span whatsoever :P
Qing Guang
Lol. Well this is my first serious attempt at drawing two figures interacting, so if it looks awful, we'll know why.
Now to figure out what program... I guess do the piccy in Painter and then the text in Illustrator CS3... hrm.

a Requiem-styled poster? That'll win first place for sure.
Say, weren't you going to do a picture of all the contest winners and the staff from MantleCon? ;P

Are profession gags (or any gags) allowed in the poster?
Maybe bad.. I mean Jokes. Not stuff to choke people with D:
