Faction Creation Contest | Visual Design

Great submissions guys!

Love your concepts!

BEST OF LUCK TO URIAK, DIGITALHAWK96, and Koradji!

Three great submissions. Hard to choose. Best of luck to everyone!

There was 9 concepts, now there are 3 and now you, once again, are called into duty to act as Judge, Jury and Executioner. 

So amidst this bonfire of dreams, which one will shine the brightest?

For those who haven't cast their vote yet, or are in the turmoil of still deciding, check out the submissions on the now closed previous voting thread, I would recommend you go there to check us out; this is because there is additional pictures and a few pieces of writing in our own submissions.

May the best skub win.

That´s gonna be a hard choice. I really like all three entries....

Good luck to Uriak and DigitalHawk96!

And many thanks for pointing to the contest threads!

While I love all of the, I'm a huge fan of Koradji's design, mainly because I love the idea of a peaceful and diplomatic race looking utterly terrifying

Can you image that first interaction with another race?

"Good god! They're horrifying! Surely their aim is to completely exterminate or enslave the rest of the species in the galaxy!"

"Sir, we're receiving a transmission... translating now..."
"What does it say?!"

"Something about... "Free hugs" sir."

Big Up for Uriak ! He deserves it. 

Yes, many compliments to Uriak for its skill at drawing. But I like more the concept by DigitalHawk96, even if it's not drawn that good.

C'mon guys, it's easy to figure: Uriak's population looks less humanoid and his ships are more streamlined for 3D models.

Sorry, while I really like the ships they've made, their population just looks like a tree that's come to life. It's reminiscent of something out of a Disney movie...

No disrespect to Uriak, that's just how I feel about it...

Guess what, most of the time you'll gaze at their ships. That's what important to look good and not just a bunch of formless vegetation mess.

All 3 authors were my top-3 though.

Considering population plays a much larger role and theres the inclusion of ground warfare, guess what, you'll be looking at much more than just ships...

Noah I just came here after voting and now the first 3 numbers in digitalhawk's submission are 666 O_o

Now you know The Truth!

I'm really torn up about it, all of the designs looks so good. It will be so hard to make a choice!!!

May the best design win. I wish everyone good luck.

Good job and good luck! You guys earned it. I look forward to competing with you all again. I'll be practicing a lot so I hope you all do too.

Next time, I won't lose so easily (except for the narration portion of this contest, it's not an art design contest so I expect to lose very easy).

Personally I'm jealous of all your talent and it really is a tough, tough choice. Congratz to all three of you and good luck, may the most popular design win. Although no matter who wins, we all do.

That's a pretty harsh assessment. I'd say that all three options in this contest offer some super complicated and elaborate ship designs. Thankfully, streamlined shapes don't matter much in space. And they ought not to dictate our votes here! Especially since our finished faction will not resemble 1:1 the winning submission of each contest phase. I'd like to urge voters to prioritize design concepts which interest them first, and design diversity a close second! Oh and check out the original contest threads for each submission, too!

I've got my personal favorite... but congratulations artists for getting this far!

DigitalHawks Design is detailed and fits in well with the current design of Endless Space 2.

The ship designs are cohesive and their units have a great look to them. I do hope the team at Amplitude are able to translate it well into their game.

Great job to all three!

Hopefully DigitalHawk96 gets the majority of votes :D 

Went for the more Non Humanoid Look so Koradji it is!

Uriacs is less imposing in my humble opinion

Digital Hawk is the best as an art but there is no color and very humanoid. 

Best luck to all !
