Contest UPDATE: Honorable Mentions. Winners of the Eliza Winpose Design Contest!

A lot of the runner ups are a lot better then second place, it's beyond me how it slipped by amidst this competition.

Why we gotta be so negative? All of the designs are great in their own way, so just take it as it is. There's nothing wrong with expressing your opinion, but it's also rather disrespectful to discredit someone's work simply because you prefer the work of another.

Anyways, it really shouldn't be that big of a surprise that it got second. It's a good design that's well executed. It's one of the only designs that really put a smile on my face the second I saw it and it will always be one of my personal favorites :)

Not really trying to be negative, I was just blown away by how nice the runner ups and 3rd place were. 2nd place is a cute and fun design, I was just caught off guard at how much I liked the runner ups a lot more.
 
My personal opinion is I god damn hate when people point out, "That's just your opinion", when they're talking about art and say X is better than Y.
Of course it's only their opinion! Is this something that really needs to be confirmed?

but uh, yeah, out of those costumes I'm pretty glad EricALischka's got a shout out. It's a really weird, impractical design, but it still looks neat.

It looks impractical because I had that Egyptian style in my head where the people are pointed left or right and all the detail only seen from the side. If that makes a lick of sense. :P
 
Sorry if that has already been addressed, but how many of these contest entries can we expect making it into the game? My guess is 3, including the two we've already seen. Not sure why that's my guess but it is.
So far one of the 'top 3' made it in and one 'honorable mention.' I'd like to say we can expect any others winposes to be from those two categories, but there were like over a hundred entries.
I think we can narrow it down based on the whole 'what suits Eliza thing.' I don't think we should expect too much cosplay (save for maybe MAYBE Faye Valentine) or period clothing or any of those really beautiful intricate 'high-fashion' looks.
Her original 6 outfits were all very simple (I mean compared to some contest entries) and were outfits you'd expect Eliza to wear at different times of the day, like a single day because rich people change clothes to do everything.

My god I have been on the Forums WAY too long... Is there anything I don't approach as a great unknown to speculate about? Voice actors, release dates, gameplay, lore, alternate winposes...

P.S Eliza with bed head is the hottest of all Elizas. This is not an opinion, this is a fact.

Because of your avatar, I read your post in Rich Brown's voice. And I agree, "I woke up like this" Eliza by emlan is one of my favorites too. All the entries had some strong ideas. It would be tough to pick only three to be "winners"

The only thing negative I can say is for Skullmageddon's and Word-Of-Law's excellent designs: I don't think Eliza is a smoker.

I know you're not looking for it, but big thanks again to @Cellsai for organizing the contest. Congratulations of course to the winners and the honorable mentions, but also a big hand to everyone who entered. It was pretty awesome getting to see all of these designs, and even neater to see the community come together to pull something like this off. I hope to see more things like this in the future, and can't wait to see Eliza in game. Too bad her KO'D pose doesn't show off her pretty outfits, haha.

Really liking the first place design it's simple (not too cluttered) yet creative enough to fit her character well.

Thankyou so much! I tried incorporating a particular theme that revolved around her as a character,but also with my own twist. To be honest,I actually really wanted to go more detailed,but you can't really bejewel a dress made of blood.:)

I fused a few dresses I had in mind all into one. Originally wanting to make a fabric type of silk gown which became the scarf draping from her arms.Then I wanted to make a short dress that revealed parts of her body that may be sexy and appealing which became the open spirals that reveal her legs and cleavage. Finally,I wanted to make a blood dress but without it looking like somebody dumped paint all over her and was dripping. So better yet? Fuse 'em all together and make the best of them work!:D
 
@Greyscale So you used her blood color from her default palette for the dress, right? Do you think that means it's color will depend on each palette's blood color? (The ingame image was with a mostly red palette so it's hard to tell if the dress color was affected by the color of her clothing or her blood.) That'd look so cool! I think you opened the door for something real awesome with this one!

Oh, and also: awesome alternate costume! It deserved to win.

Thankyou so much! I did what just came to me. I honestly loved all the designs and how creative and funny some got!:D
 
They liked one of my designs I never expected to make it that far. Thanks for the mention :)
 
Is this the place to discuss which designs made it into the game? I noticed one so far, don't know the button combinations to see them..

Only two made it in i think. hold HP for the design that won. if i remember correctly HK gets the suit.
 
I thought it was 2P and 2K or seen someone say they were.
 
HP and HK are the two added from the contest as far as i can tell, but someone in this thread said that 2 designs not in the top 3 were added to the game but i've only seen the suit, i don't know if i'm missing something.
 
3 designs were added, but one of the original 6 winposes were removed. I'll have an article up in a few hours about it properly. I've been mad busy!

Pretty sure we said that on Twitter at some point, and it's true.
 
why not add all the runner ups we got enough button combinations :PUN:
 
Oh nice, so she has 8 win poses, i was missing the 2P and the 2K ones. The 2P win pose is the other honorable mention and it's awesome, it was one of my favorites.

The criteria for winning the contest (or being an honorable mention) was different from the criteria we used to decide whether or not to add costumes in the game.

I figured as much. yall probably had to inform the creators yall were going to do it too. contracts and what not.
