You might've heard by now that Dead Estate is releasing on Steam on October 19th. Dead Estate is a project that my buddies and I have been working on since around August or September last year. We originally made it as a submission for [url=https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1459814]Newgrounds's annual Halloween contest[/url] and we ended up getting first place! Since then, we partnered up with 2 Left Thumbs to [olist] [*] [i]SIGNIFICANTLY [/i]expand the game, and [*] Publish it on Steam along with a few other platforms! (maybe Nintendo Switch eventually) [/olist] The game is releasing in just a few short weeks, so to celebrate we're gonna be [url=https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1483739]hosting an art contest with prizes[/url]! You can draw [u]WHATEVER YOU WANT[/u] as long as it fits into the rules below! Additionally, we're gonna split this thing into two categories: [b]SFW [/b]and [b]NSFW[/b]. Both categories will have pretty much the same prizes, although there are a couple of additional rules for the NSFW category. [u][b]RULES & GUIDELINES[/b][/u] [olist] [*] Submit your piece to the [url=https://www.newgrounds.com/art]Newgrounds Art Portal[/url] with the tag "[i]dead-estate-art-contest[/i]" if it's an SFW submission or "[i]dead-estate-nsfw-contest[/i]" if it's NSFW [b]by October 15th[/b]. [*] Your submission has to depict something or someone from Dead Estate. (big surprise, I know) [*] Anything 18+ [b]must[/b] be submitted to the NSFW category, not the SFW category. [*] You can't make an edit of an SFW piece and submit it to the NSFW category or vice versa. One or the other! [*] Keep NSFW submissions tasteful. Basically don't depict anything illegal or revolting. [/olist] It's probably worth clarifying that .GIF animations [u]are allowed[/u]! Now here's the good stuff: [u][b]PRIZES[/b][/u] [b]SFW prizes:[/b] [b]1st[/b] place - $100 + Steam key for Dead Estate + Your submission will be included as a trading card on Steam! [b]2nd [/b]place - $50 + Steam key [b]3rd [/b]place - $25 + Steam key [b]4th [/b]place - Steam key [b]5th [/b]place - Steam key [b]NSFW prizes: [/b]([i]these are basically the same as the SFW prizes minus the "your work as a trading card" reward[/i]) [b]1st[/b] place - $100 + Steam key [b]2nd [/b]place - $50 + Steam key [b]3rd [/b]place - $25 + Steam key [b]4th [/b]place - Steam key [b]5th [/b]place - Steam key [u]REFERENCES[/u] Here are some references for a handful of the characters in the game.
