The Great Forge Contest

[intemptesta]

In our homebrew D&D5e game, we are 5 players, 5 DMs.
We take turns to run the game and contribute to it in many different ways, I’m proud of them.

We just started to migrate to Foundry just a month ago, not so much game screenshot to show, but here’s some we got.

This is our world map, Jarrihelmr Continent. The map started almost blank, but now it’s populated with locations and stories.

My friends in this game are mostly artists, they love to do custom tokens for NPCs/Monsters whenever they run as DM. It blew my mind so much time over how much work they put into it.

Woah, looks like this contest is going to be great. A lot of awsome entries.
I’ll share one last artwork, this one is supposed to be a social media banner (twitter and reddit).
I used some screenshots from my foundry games as a transparent/watermark background pattern but they can be exchanged to any other image. Hope you enjoy this art.

For the Screenshots contest. This is the opening view to my game, “Beneath the Living Stars.” It’s D&D with Numenera, Cthulhu, and Spelljammer mashed in.

Here is my banner for Twitter. The size is 1500 x 500, which is the dimensions for a header banner. There is a spot in the lower left where the Forge logo will go over the image once it is uploaded to Twitter.

So it would look like this on Twitter.

Hi everyone, I may be a bit late (or just in time?), but here are my entries.
I am a Motion Designer from Germany who does Pixel art and other regular art in my spare time.
Hope you like them
My entry for the Forge Background, with overlay and without:

My Entries for the Twitter Header/Banner:

Aaand my entries for the Game Banner:

The Artworks are:
A pixel Art Vault. Only a Creature the power of a Game Master can put 2 Aboleths in Vats to guard their Vault.

A cursed Mire. Just like twitter sometimes.

A golden Wyrm. Yup.

A powerful Necromancer-King. Powerful enough to pull off that weird beard.

Hope I got everything right with the submission…

Hey, hello! I was asked a while ago on reddit to try participating in the contest. I finally got around (the day before the deadline) and got a few things together!

I drew this battlemap a while ago, and figured out I could try how it looks. Being rather dark, I think it fits the webpage properly! It could be further darkened if needed. The first picture is full resolution, the second one is a screenshot.

I had this other battlemap, which is a Gear-shaped elevator. I figured out it could work for the Default Game Banner, as it gives that sort of set-up vibe. The map itself could be changed colors to better fit the logo, if needed. Here’s a link to the .png version: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/637461054712053772/783004958131617822/unknown.png

• Screenshots

My first screenshot is the introduction to a boss battle using Theatre Inserts, one of my favourite Foundry mods. It allows for that visual novel style, which is a fun way to show the artwork for bosses.

Finally, I saw animated screenshots were also allowed, so I bring a couple. First one is a transition from Daylight to Dusk on the landing page, with lights that activate automatically. This is a low resolution one, but I have the high resolution mp4 file on Youtube, at better quality: https://youtu.be/zg0h-lcL4aU

And the second animated screenshot, this time it’s a dungeon from yesterday’s game with some lights. Again, the higher quality version over at YT: https://youtu.be/-_u4N9Keru0

All the art in these (including tokens and battlemaps, which were drawn from scratch in Photoshop) are made by me! The only exception is the Mammoth in the first screenshot, which is official art.

Here’s my contest entry — a red dragon lair complete with gold, fire, and only one way out!

Me and a couple of my players, namely Fonkin the Bardic Clerk (chief designer) and Melodal the halfling urchin (da Boss) have put together this green die design on a fiery map surface. This one is suitable for the game banner. More to follow…
