Halloween Designer Challenge 2015

[ChrisArmoun]

I had started a few designs, but between finals, work, and a few other things coming up I was only able to submit 2. Neither was completely finished but they were the most complete of all. I really wanted to finish my Lisa but I'll have to hold on to it for now.

Love these designs.

Bassquatch is just too... damn... hairy.

+1500 ?

That's just crazy. How many costumes were submitted in the previous contests ?
It's gonna be a nightmare to select the winners..

At least, now, TN got inspiration for the next 15 years.

Around 300 in the first one and around 400 in the second one according to Tyaren (honestly I don't remember the amount).

Yes, but all this inspiration come from peculiar outfits, that it's great anyway, but fans would like even casual designs contests. I hope that they will hold one of them next time =)

With 1500 costumes, they also have the opportunity to rank the character by popularity.

I wonder how many costumes Helena has.
I wonder who has the more costumes. Probably Honoka ?

 

[Tyaren]

Around 300 in the first one and around 400 in the second one according to Tyaren (honestly I don't remember the amount).

The other way around, I said 400 in the first and 300 in the second.

So did anyone see a costume that caused them to go "I'll play that character of they get this" ?

 

[Kronin]

Today I discovered that there are not 1 but rather 2 challengers for my Alpha siren outfit (actually they are harpies but again...):

Like I said I really didn't know the existence of these (the latter found just now) before to start my design, I really didn't try to steal anything. By the way they seem to me really nice.

Also the author of the latter, Sandika Rakhim on twitter, make so much funny outfits in my opinion, maybe not all of them are Halloweenish but they seem so pretty xD

Not really. There were some good concepts, but I don't see any "fan favourite".

Honestly I think that the most famous Pirate Honoka, a design for Ayane and the one of @Shiranui (great work Shiranui, I absolute love it!) could be considered under this category or almost. The last two got around the double of usual number of likes from the reposting of designs from the profile of Team NINJA.

I don't think any costume could make me want to learn a whole new character

That white armored P4 I was posted recently was amazing though, probably my fav. Oh also zombie Honoka. There's a ton of other great ones. Tecmo doesn't have to pay their artists for another year or two

I agree, these costumes are amazing.

By "fan favourite", I meant like Virak's Kasumi or Axouel's Marie-Rose. We knew for sure they would win.

This Ouroboros Queen Rachel is probably the best design from that contest. The colors, the accessories, the concept, the drawing skills. Wow.
Is it someone from FSD ?

PS : Don't mean to create false hype or anything, but that Bat Luchadora Lisa of Kodachi's has real chances to win in my opinion.

 

[rapgeekman]

ChrisArmoun you are very good at coloring! help me please

Ok, now I understand what you meant.

Like I said (and tagged in my previous post) is from the FSD memeber Shiranui =) Don't you remember such great entries from the previous contests?

@TOBMAST3R good job like always, I really like Rachel's and Gen Fu's one! They seem to me really nice and original (such tongues xD) and overall very detailed! About Lisa sadly I think that the outfit could appear not very zombified without the particular funny pose and look that you gave her in the design, but it's nice to see that finally after so much zombie hunters we get even a zombie to hunt! xD By the way this is again full of details very original, I like all the signals of infected and danger that you attached, surely a way out from the usual standard for giving the appearence of a zombie.

Like always you demonstrate a great imagination, thing that sadly I completely miss (and mess xD).

 

[TOBMAST3R]

@Kronin Thanks a lot for the feedback. =) I have to agree with Shiranus submissions - they all do look very impressive.

 

[Brute]

I scrolled through Facebook looking at entries and I have to give a shout out to @Brute. I love the Hayabusa and Lisa you posted. They both look amazing.
That Hayabusa reminds me of his DOA2 Arabian(esque) outfits, which I loved. Great stuff.

Thanks, man. I'm glad they struck your fancy.

 

[Argentus]

As usual I'm only really interested in my mains. Not feeling any of the Mila designs except for the Frankenstein costume. I saw a few stereotypical "Spanish" costumes, and token stripper bee costumes. As for Leon I've only seen like three. Two jokes but I like the Juggernaut costume.


What are the odds well get Princess Eliot lol?




Well. Now we just wait till October I suppose.

Watch em keep releasing copy paste packs despite having all these designs lol.


Actually what I'm curious about is which contest costumes will be returning for future DOA games.

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

I wish all the drawings (from the three contests) were gathered on the DOA wiki. If I had time to do so I would try to start something. But that's too ambitious for one man.

Very few, if any at all.
