[CONTEST] Turn in your copies!

Nidania Josne, an art professor well-versed in the art of finding hidden treasures, asked his students one day to reproduce some of the world's most coveted artifacts, including a precious relic whose whereabouts are currently unknown: the famous Bow-Meow-Popo-Yaya. This assignment thrilled his young followers (and probably provided the impetus for a number of counterfeiting operations), eager to become famed adventurers and archeologists like their professor was back in the day!

Today, we invite you to celebrate the year of hard work you've just completed with a contest inspired by that famous class assignment! Let your imagination soar and recreate one of the many rings available in the game with the real-life materials of your choice!
 

The time has finally come to haul out the countless little things you've held on to "just in case". If you dig around long enough, you're sure to find a few gems that were truly worth saving, and that you can now finally put to good use! Bits of string, branches, feathers, tufts of fur from your cat (with his or her permission), nails, and much more. There are no limits! (Well… almost none. Put down the dead mouse, please.)

There are just a few little rules you'll need to follow:

• Only one entry per person.
• Only entries from accounts in the English-speaking community will be accepted.
• Forum messages with entries can be edited/modified until the contest ends. If the message is edited after the deadline, the entry will be disqualified.
• All entries must comply with the DOFUS Terms of Use.
• Entries will be judged on a number of criteria, including originality, faithfulness to the original, and final appearance.
• Submit your entries to this thread.

Once your masterpiece is complete, you must post your entry in a single message in the forum, indicating:

• Your character's name
• The server you play on
• The name of the ring

Three photos must be submitted:

• Two in "WIP" (work in progress) format
• One photo of your masterpiece in all its glory, with the DOFUS game and a window showing the ring in question in the background

All three of these photos are essential for your entry to be valid. However, you can also post more if the spirit moves you!

Note that any use of AI is strictly prohibited!

Entries MUST be posted in a separate forum thread. Any entries posted as comments to this post announcing the contest will not be considered.
