The contest is now over. Thank you all for participating and sharing your cool ideas! :D |
Whether you like to think out-of-the-delivery-box like Mailman Tassadar or want to get down to business with Illidan the Employer, we want to see your most innovative skin ideas! In celebration of launching the new landing page at teamliquid.net/heroes and beginning our fortnightly podcast, Nexus Nights, we're going to be giving away five different Heroes skins. All you have to do is submit your best, most creative skin idea! The skins (and heroes) up for grabs are: Kaijo Diablo Succubus Kerrigan Storm Mantle Malfurion Magni Muradin Commander Raynor You don't have to be a master artist or Photoshop guru, an MS Paint or crayon drawing will do. Share your vision of the skin you want to see in game the most. Mailman Tassadar was designed with great care using Paint by our very own writer EsportsJohn, while Illidan the Employer was lovingly crafted by Team Liquid's graphics queen, Shiroiusagi. (Sorry, those skin ideas are taken!) Please submit original work, and only one entry per person. No matter how great the skin, if we find it has been plagiarized you will be disqualified. Submit your skin's design and name via Twitter by following @LiquidHeroes and using the hashtag #nnskins OR post it in the comments of this very thread. Winners will be picked based on originality, creativity, ingenuity and whether it can make us laugh. Winners will be featured on future Nexus Nights episodes. We will message each winner and you will get a choice of one of the available skins on a first-come-first-serve basis, so keep your eyes peeled! Need some inspiration? Try designing Kale'Thas or Elite Tauren Cheerleader! Disclaimer: Winning this contest does not mean your skin will be featured in-game or in-client.Good luck!

I would like to see a Navy SEALs lost vikings skin, with high tech naval assault gear. The long boat should be a RIB flat boat or the like equipped with a mortar.
Sounds complicated for me to draw though, I hope I can do something!

It doesn't have to be good- it just has to get your concept across! You've got this!

The Mario Bros idea is great.

Grand Slam Leoric will win you the game with a homerun!

March of the black king alternate vocals can be something like: strike 1, strike 2, strike 3, you're out!
I'd love the Kerrigan or Diablo skin! :D

I don`t know if i qualify, since I`m in EU, but worth a shot.
Riot Police Johanna (alt: Crowd Control Johanna):
+ Show Spoiler [pics] +
Themed ablilities:
(E)Pepper Spray instead of Shield Glare
(R)Taser Shot instead of Blessed Shield (shots taser round at target, paralyzing them)
(R)Helicopter Drop instead of Falling Sword (drop area reskinned as heli landing zone mark)

I hate to be the hangry bear of bad news, Eclipt, but we're going to need a little bit more than that in order to win a skin :p. Understandably, not everyone is great at drawing or has Photoshop skills (I mean...look at my hideous MS Paint Tassadar in the OP), but at least do some copy/paste stuff so we can see what it is that you're trying to get across. I like the idea, it just needs a tiny bit of work to bring it to life  .

Meurte Murky
Instead of fish, murky throws burritos and they explode con frejoles.
Murky slime is also guacamole.
For murky ultimate he lassos the enemies like a true vaquero.
Kaijo diablo!
(I already have succubus, any of the others if diablo kaijo isnt available is ok)

I love it, nice job! Quick question: instead of an egg, what do you think he respawns out of?
ANNOUNCEMENT: THE FIRST SKINS ARE GOING OUT LATER THIS WEEK!! If you want a particular skin out of the ones we listed on the first page, let us know and we'll get it to you before the week is out.

In order of preference:
Commander Raynor (will look nice on his vulture ^^)
Magni Muradin
Kaijo Diablo
Succubus Kerrigan
Storm Mantle Malfurion

The Lost Socks (with ultimate form in the back)
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/r6NlZ7t.jpg)
Note the lack of button eyes or 'sock-mouth' because the TLS are not puppets an certainly are not under the control of anyone(much like the vikings in most HL-games).
|
I'll recuse myself from winning, but I do want to post my best idea--- 2D vikings:
![[image loading]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/Funteru/Art/Lost-Vikings-3Fix.png)
I'm thinking Mr. Game-and-Watch style from super smash bros melee.
|
I suck at paint/photoshop, so forgive me for the very rude concepts presented here.
First up Gladiator-inspired Zeratul - ideal for when you are making people cry in QM:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/kkhxYj7.jpg)
Second we are no longer searching for a way home, but instead for the pesky Pac-Man:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/4Ih4DkV.jpg)
Third we look to Sonya who is ready to enter The Justice League! Ancient spear would obviously be Lasso of Truth,
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/IL9qduR.jpg)
EDIT: I'm only on EU, so not sure if I even qualify for the contest, but at least one could always hope a Blizz dev gets inspired :p
EDIT2: The Lost Vikings as ghosts would be my entry for the contest and I would prio:
1. Magni Muradin
2. Storm Mantle Malf
3. Diablo
4. Raynor

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now I get it. My washing machine has never tried to eat me, so I didn't immediately catch the resemblance.

You've never heard of washing machines//dryers eating socks?

You are probably a large dude then.
Small socks can get sucked in between rubber seal(?) and drum(?) and will flush in the drain

Forgive my ignorance of laundry, but I thought all socks were more or less the same size? I think it's just that I've had the good fortune to use quality dryers. I've heard of people losing socks and stuff while doing laundry, but I've just personally never had that problem for some reason.

Your ignorance of laundry be forgiven. Nevertheless, socks can vary a lot: Knee high or just ankle high? Size 5 (S) or size 12 (XL)
I guess the quality of the machine is as important

It also depends largely on the sort of machine (top load vs front load) and stuff like that.

Half of my socks miss their twin, so yea, this problem is real.

Forgot about that part. I guess he could spawn from a little shed/barn.

I think that SC2John forgot about this thread just as your forgot your egg :-)

Crazy Cat Lady Jaina:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/e9rwcOs.jpg)
Her auto-attack throws a cat playball at the target.
Frostbolt is replaced by throwing a cat, which then hangs around the target, representing the slow.
Blizzard is replaced by a shower of cat hair, causing heroes to sneeze out of allergy, representing the slow.
Cone of Cold is replaced by throwing a wide hairball, sticking to heroes, representing the slow.
Water Elemental is replaced by a giant Maine Coon cat, attacking and slowing the target.
Ring of Frost is replaced by a ring of catnip, forcing trapped heroes to eat/sniff it, representing the root.
Certain 'nature' heroes such as Malfurion or Lunara will go crazy due to catnip!
Her mount is a giant scratching post on its side, complete with cats.
Darth Gazlowe
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3NlPaT1.jpg)
Melee attack replaced with a lightsaber strike (with the hum!).
Rock-it Turrets replaced by static droids (maybe Destroyer Droids).
Xplodium Charge replaced by a Force themed explosion.
Deth Lazor replaced by Force Lightning.
Gravobomb replaced by a shot from the Death Star.
Robo Goblin replaced by a large B2 Battle Droid.
His mount is a flying pod/saucer, like those in the Republic Council Chamber.
EDIT: Derp, didn't read only one entry per person!
In that case, Crazy Cat Lady Jaina is the submission, with Darth Gazlowe for the lulz.

I did NOT forget, thank you very much.
I'm not in charge of the skins, so I apologize if we're getting them out late. Staff is busy with holiday things and issues with skin codes, but I can assure you we will be getting them to you ASAP. If you think of it in a positive light, at least we're doing better than the last contest TL gave stuff away stuff (MSI MGA bracket contest).

Ah damn I wanted to draw a crazy catlady rexxar or nazeebo but I had no time.
|
oh that feel when it's entry per person and now I can't submit the actor/rapper Murky Murks :[

Wow that darth gazlowe is dope
er, excuse me--- "spacelord gazlowe"

holy moly, ppl talking about my art! I feel like a celebrity allready! Dat e-Fame!
Some clarifications:
SAD Illidan:
- Can't call him SSJ as he isn't a saiyajin but a almost-demon-nightelf'ish-thingy
- And playing with an Illidan in my team often makes me pretty sad
ArtaNixToDo:
- You kinda need to speak somewhat good German to get that ^^
- "Nix" is some sort of abbreviation of "Nichts" which translates to "Nothing", so ArtaNothingToDo as if in unemployed as if in "his life for Hire" :D
- ArtaNixToDo sounds better though and i like puns!
