Metroid Database Contest
Omg, it’s me again, back from the dead! Sorry about not having an update all this time, guess I was too busy sucking at playing the piano. =P
Well, do I have a treat for you! The Metroid Database, the biggest Metroid fansite on the Web, is having its second contest in the 14 years since its founding. The first contest was the Make-A-Metroid contest, where site users competed to build the best fan-made model of a Metroid. Kevin Rayner won this contest in a unanimous decision, with an ultra-realistic metroid figure.
This time, it’s the Design-An-Enemy contest! The goal of this contest is to design a fan-made enemy that could fit into the Metroid series. This time around, though, the enemy can be designed using any 2D medium such as drawing, pixelart, sprites, you name it. Fans can also use 3D models for this. This time, it’s all digital; no real-life models allowed.
You also can’t modify existing enemies, such as the million varieties of Metroids already in existence. It has to be 100% original. You also need to describe the enemy in your own words. For example, its habitat, planet, attack patterns, etc. Prime-style logbook entries are preferred, but a full-blown fanfic isn’t needed. =P
Entries are accepted until 12:00 midnight PST on Friday, December 3rd, 2010. Only US citizens are allowed to enter because apparently, international shipping costs too much. =)
