Semi-finalists are posted, and it's an absolute disaster. We have near-unanimous agreement (both in the deviantart comments and on the EVE forums) that the judges are utterly incompetent, the vast majority of the semi-finalists are either terrible and/or have nothing to do with EVE, and many excellent (and community-favored) submissions were ignored.
Unfortunately, there is one simple cause for this: deviantart sucks.
So, CCP should do three things:
1) Re-judge the entire contest. Throw out the opinions of the deviantart judges, and have judges from CCP select a new set of 15 semi-finalists as well as the three winners (out of the CCP-chosen 15).
2) Never have anything to do with deviantart again, preferably with a public statement of this fact. The community is not amused, take the hint.
3) Run the contest again, on a more respectable CG art site (and allow re-entry of ships from the current contest). This is win/win, people who got screwed by deviantart get a second chance, and we all get to see a much higher level of quality.

Cross-posting from Eve general:
CCP: I beg of you, take a look at the most popular entries: Ask yourself how they could choose this over this????? This one was extremely popular, and it didn't even get mentioned.... Minnie pilots were going nuts over this.
Or this (a flying frisbee????) over this? (Also extremely popular wth Gallente fans)
Or this (a Jovian ship, that we can't even use, made the semi-finals????) over this??? This one was almost as popular as the Tornado above by Caldari pilots.
Or this (honestly, WTF?) over this??? (Amarr Pilots were going nuts over this)
What the hell happened there? Of those finalists, maybe one (barely) or two (the only decent eve-like semi-finalist) fit into the eve universe, but only barely.
I mean, what the hell is this or this?????
This crap is an insult to eve.

i'm quite disappointed. there were some seriously awesome designs, and, i thought, even if i don't win, we'll get quality visuals. it just didn't happen. i understand that not everyone can be pleased, but deviantart judges just scored so low.

Agreed. We need to draw CCP's attention to this, as there's still time to re-judge all the entries. Come on CCP, show us that you care! Screw any contract you have with dA and judge the entries yourselves. We won't mind if it takes a year or more to finally see a "Good" ship in game.

The only thing I could see remotely winning is that little minmatar ship because CCP wouldn't even have to do anything to it. It's like the contest was rigged not to pick the best looking, but the easiest for CCP to manage.

Naru-Kami, Cyruk Velam, The Gatekeeper deserve to be semi-finalists.
A few others were good, but not solid shoe-ins considering other designs that were overlooked.
And what ****ing ****es me off...
Half are borderline copyright infringement (of pre-existing eve ships) and one is digital spit in the face of everyone who worked hard to create a solid entry for this contest.

I don't see how CCP can suddenly just change the rules in the middle of the competition, so let them choose the winners from the finalists like the rules state. We also had loads of great contestants, so I see the rules being the bigger issue than letting DA host it. The process of deciding winners was poor, not the designs. So I'll not support points 1 or 2.
I'm in full agreement though, that CCP shouldn't let those good designs slip through their fingers. Either do another competition with different selection process or pick extra designs form the contestants that didn't make it to the finals. There were some true gems there and they actually looked like EVE ships.

I support a re judging by CCP themselves. Theirs is an opinion I atleast trust.
Most of the ships that were selected for semi-finalist do not even look like eve ships. I would atleast expect the judges to select something that would fit within the universe.
I worked hard to make my own submission follow the design specs that you often find in caldari ships for instance. I never expected to be selected as a semi-finalist. but atleast with CCP's own textures and modellers it would atleast look like it was designed by the caldari.
I truly hope CCP will do the right thing and judge the contest themselves.

Agree with everyone.
This contest went from promising to absolute mayhem. All because Deviantart chose the finalists.
CCP owns the game so they can very easily just ignore the choices Deviantart staff made and then create their own top 15.
And I agree with everyone else in saying that the Tornado (http://browse.deviantart.com/contests/2010/eveonline/#/d30g6np) absolutely needs to be in the top 15. That LA battlecruiser for example is complete WTF, I could have drawn that (and im not an artist) and it already has the same shape as a gallente ship in the game. Obviously the people who judged this contest at Deviantart had no idea what Eveonline was about and chose the top15 nearly at complete randomness. The only entry in the top 15 that I wasn't surprised by was the Narukami and one other but i forget. But anyways, 90% of the top 15 shouldn't be there, or simply all of it.
All in all this was a complete disaster. The LA Battlecruiser or w/e that thing is, it being in the top 15 instantly proves that the top 15 was a complete joke and Deviantart's top15 simply needs to be completely ignored and either CCP creates a new top15 or the fans do. God, a child could have chosen a better top 15.
I really really hope CCP doesnt let this top15 become official Offical. and they take it back and make a new one. The good ships from real eve players need a better chance than to be judged by a pack of ignorant morons over at deviantart.

True 3000 is a lot, but there was a week for judging, and it only takes a second to see if a ship is serious or not. I mean, when you end up with a finalist called the "Long Ass Battlecruiser", it shows they don't care that much and hardly put any effort into it...

First time ever posting in the assembly hall.
I followed the contest almost daily and was really excited to see so many teriffic designs being submitted for consideration.
Frankly I'm disgusted by the lack of professionalism demonstrated by the deviantart judges in picking such lackluster and unpopular entries for the finalists.
The popular submissions were popular for a reason, I like many others were genuinely excited over the possibility of playing them ingame.
I hope CCP will listen to the player base and remedy this situation ASAP.

If they are honest, even some of the ones who were selected must be amazed at the ones that have been left out.

i looked at lots of entries during the contest, and with all the nice things i saw, i was wondering how could make only 1 winner, as tons of the entries are wonderfull.
but these judges... these semi-finalists... no seriously, there's limit to ****ty tastes. there's 2-3 intersting, the rest is garbage.
at this point having took random entries as winner may have find better results, that's really ridiculous.

I am adding my voice to the mob, DA dropped the Ball on this, they might have found it cute or funny in their choices but in doing so they left out far better designs that not only fit Eve but look good while doing it.
I hope that CCP will step in and do the right thing and pick their own designs or heck better still give the players of Eve a chance to vote on a ship since they have a vested interest in game unlike the untrained monkeys at DA.

The basic estimation that the DA judges don't EVE's best interests at heart it probably resounding loudly here. Part of the contest rules said that "creative presentation of the task" was a criteria for judging the semi-finalists. Unfortunately this leads to DA choosing more "artistic" entries than worthwhile ones, things that look interesting, but hardly a single EVE player would give a damn about flying. Out of the 3000 some entries, the semi-finalists should be each and every a ship that hordes of players would be chomping on the bit to get their hands on, and further, ships that the majority of players could actually fly (this seemed obvious from the under-1000 meters requirement, so that no one would be making anything bigger than a battleship.) Sure the Jove ship looks fantastic, but a contest like this is a reason for the players to get excited about something new to play with, not something to sit in the corner and gather just as much dust as had it not been chosen to begin with. To say nothing of **** like this or this, which is designed around a concept that would be impossible to implement in the game. That's pretty basic logic, to not include winning designs that are not purpose designed for their media.
All-in-all a failure, I'm glad to see both the EVE community and DA artists are furious about this.

I usually stay away from the forums... But these results were a disaster. I mean, seriously? The LA-Battlecruiser? Most of the 15 ships that "made the cut" don't belong to the EVE universe.
The judging should be done by CCP stuff. DA failed very hard on this one. :/

Yeah, alot of those semi-finalists don't seem very EvEesque. And some obviously superior designs didn't make it in. Should be rejudged.

Again agree, i dont watch much the forum too.
I want to state how we(dont think it's just me), people of eve who made entry feel:
We spend our time making this ships instead of playing(well at least, not hardcore pvp action:P). While we where making our work we saw some wonderfull job and we keep doing ours, knowing we had to lose to those, well fitted for eve, ships.
Then we saw the finalist and we KNEW our ship where better than many of those and we fall from the sky, how that could happen with such other entry?!?!
I hope i'm not too much repetitive but damn i have a devil for every hair i have in my head(well figuratively speaking, i'm bold -.-).

There are 4 ships in the top 15 that are even close to looking like something that might make it into the game. The rest are crap. No offence to the artists, you did well (Except the LA Failcruiser).

**** DeviantArt, **** its judges, and **** the semifinalists - every single one is topped in style, creativity, and technical workmanship by stuff that got passed over. CCP should have asked anyone interested to submit designs, created a gallery website, and included feedback in the judging.
I agree with the OP entirely, though I would add that we should also orbitally ****ing bombard DeviantArt. It's the only way.

They need to take a good look at what actually exists in EVE, and make quite a paradigm shift.

This is one of main reasons i will support this:
lolwat ?
theres some decent choices, cause of innovative idea's but a few poor ones too. no disrespect to artists. also i really felt this one needed to be in the finals, it even offers other race counterpart idea's: Tornado
How they ignored the Tornado, which in just about everyone's estimation was a cut above the rest is beyond me.
The LA battlecruiser voted in and the Tornado not getting into finalist is my main reason voting , it shows something went wrong, BUT alot of the other entrys where pretty neat and nice concepts. Props to the artists.
I'd like to see Syndicate, SOE, Ammatar, Intaki, & Thukker tribe, The Society, Faction ships added in one day, few of these might make the cut. like the japanese styled gallente one as a Intaki ship. etc.

That there will be people upset with the semis was for sure. Be it cos their entry wasn't taken, be it cos a ship they fell in love with hasent ben taken, or be it that one or two semi-finalists aren't as good as cud have been.
But this is a quite a mess. The greatest proportion of those semi-finalists aren't insertable at all and don't match the rules in more then just tiny issues.
Ok, CCP can choose the top 3 out of them and the prize winners wouldn't win completely undeserved, but 15! semi-finalists and they managed to pick more undeserving entry's then if they had a rolled deice.

Here is what will happen: CCP will ignore the plea, they will pick the nr 1-2-3 from the reasonable to good entries out of the 15 (which will probo be the cyruk velam, nari-kamu, tsunami, gatekeeper or vision). Will make the ship, implement it, and all will be forgotten about in a few months.
There will be no re-judging. Not now not ever, because they would have to come back on their own rules, not to mention you have to tell some semi-finalists they are not in the 15 afterall. Not going to happen. As much as I'm disappointed with (most)of the last 15.
Just do like Bodycount does.

No, just pick 15 more, then select the winners from all 30. That is $750 more in prizes, but that is a damn cheap marketing campaign for that price.

I haven't posted in the Assembly Hall at all before; I haven't even posted much on the forums themselves... but the results of this contest are, as said before, underwhelming. A few of them fit, but the rest should not have won over most of the other submissions (yeah, I'm looking at YOU, LA battlecruiser!  ).

Tsunami and Tsunami certainly first one is more qualifying for semifinal then second one, aha. That's all set-up. Same case for LA-battlecruser, which is rebrended DA-mascot (only reason it's being fawed) and not that crap from semifinals.

I never ***** at things because I fell that there are good reason for things.
Even though I knew I was not going to win, I still submitted 3 entries.
But come on.....
This contest should be re-evaluated by either CCP or the EVE community.
There are no reasons as to why the LA should be there...
I personally do not think the judge looked at all the ships.
I would like to see the score of all ships.

They only addressed the one most obvious screwup (and only because it had the artist's signature in violation of the rules, not because it was a poor design), and completely ignored the fact that well over half of the 15 finalists are in no way related to EVE.

Dedicated players of EVE who have a deep, intimate relationship to the game will likely use a different lens in viewing what the artists have produced than would the skilled artists we used to judge the contest semi-finalists. When you blend two worlds, that of the arts and that of EVE, you cannot expect the result to look only as EVE would have it be.

No, I cannot support this. The Rules were posted, the submissions made, the Judging done. Just because you or your frineds ship didn't get chosen is no reason to throw a temper tantrum.
I like some of the designs chosen, I dislike others. I also like a few that were not chosen, and dislike some of the ones not chosen, including a fair few the "community" seems to have liked.
Either way, it is done. Time to move on.

Yeah the rules where posted.
To BAD the dA staff didnt follow them!
And the majority is mad not becaus the ship of a friend didnt get chosen, but that most of the semi finalist where sub-par to other designs and didnt even follow the rules and aims of the contest. And to make matters worse the dA staff defended the exluding of the better ships by refering to rules several of the semi ships also didnt follow.
There no logic to it, either the dA staff was baked of their ass, or we are talking rigging of the results.
The grose disrespect and neglect of their own rules, their insults, go take your troll and head to a pregnant teenager forum instead.

Yes, they are. Several of the most vocal posters here and on the DA board are entrants into the contest. Others are climbing on the Bandwagon because a design they personally liked didn't get chosen ahead of a design they personally didn't like.
That is the nature of a contest. A few Entrants will win, most Entrants will loose. Now CCP will have the final say.

You assume much.
To my knowledge, I'm not acquainted with any of the people who entered the contest.
It does not take personal ties to be enraged that this would make it to the top 15 in a contest brimming with talented entries.

Yes, it was.
It was in the initial top 15 until the community outrage blared out. In the end, it was swapped out for a community favorite, the Tornado, when it was pointed out that it had a water mark in the lower right - a blatant rules violation.

That is the nature of a contest. A few Entrants will win, most Entrants will loose. Now CCP will have the final say.
.
That is the nature of a fair and honest contest, and this one is nothing like that.
And of course the ones voicing their concern are entrants into the contest. Its major humiliation to see that subpar ships are choosen over superior designs. Most of the contestants are ok with being beaten by a superior oponent.
But to lose becaus someone is trowing a fit and doing what they like with the results, giving it away to designs that would have a rough time against some of the excluded ones, is humiliating and insulting.
These people voice their concern becaus its a direct attack against them, the players of eve and generaly becaus people do not like injustice.
Some of the designs are awsome, but then again some shouldnt be among the semi finalists.
And the people thats "jumping" on the bandwagon can be explained with this.
Too quote Edmond Burke "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
Im not saying dA is evil, but this also applies to injustice.

Somewhere on this forum (was posted earlier) is a quote by one of the dA judges stating the LA Battlecruiser was nr 15 and that the Tornado was nr 16. If you compare those designs its pretty hard to belive, becaus if the tornado was nr 16, it means it wasnt disqualified, and if it wasnt disqualified the dA team saw it as subpar to all the other semi-finalists. And thats even harder to belive.
Now what is easy to belive is that they freaked out due to the major collective outburst at the ridicule of the LA battlecruiser as a semifinalist, and swapped it with the Tornade, a favorit, to save face.
This is cause for great concern since they first let trough an entry that was obviusly breaking the rules, but that also wasnt as good as many other designs. It was unoriginal, it already recembles the Catalyst Destroyer, and no major artistic skills or effort looked to have gone into the creation of it.
To sum it up, theres is ground for concern at the judges skills and credebility.

Oh it certainly does matter because it means the DA judging process decided that this unimaginative, rules-breaking entrant was of such merit that it was to be in the top 15 of all the entries.
This calls into question the DA judging process.
Many members of both the DA and EVE communities have called for more transparency in the judge's selection and scoring. An explanation of how 'LA Battlecruiser' got into the top 15 is, at the very least, owed to the many artists who actually put research time, creativity, and effort into making an aesthetically pleasing ship that would mesh seamlessly into EVE's artistry.

My apologies. I read the rules and didn't notice that part.
My impression was that the contest was not that specific. I didn't realize that a seamless mesh and pleasing aesthetics was required.
I noticed some entries had a lot of detail, even extending to slots, PG, Bonuses, Etc. etc.
I didn't realize CCP was looking for complete, seamlessly artistic, ships to place in game. I thought they were looking for a design that they ( CCP ) could adapt and place into the game at some point, perhaps at a size, or in a role, or with some different details not envisaged by the original artist.

CCP should pick the top 3 from those semi-finalists and give them the material prizes, but since it's their game, they should choose the ship to be included in the game from all the entries submitted. At least then I wouldn't have to fly with some POS design that the DA judges picked.

That submission was removed because it broke the rules. Which is astounding that the judges didn't catch that before picked as a semi-finalist.

The finalists are mostly dumb.
People have linked awesome-looking ships that actually LOOKED LIKE a races style that didn't make it to the top 15, yet random crap that would be mistaken for existing ships DID make it?
Throw it out. Make a poll website where people can browse ships and vote (with their active eve online account, once per IP Address...) on which 15 THEY like the best.
Then boom, there you have it, ships that people will like more often than not.
But this DA contest is just junk.

Personally i have to agree. CCP should redo the judging themselves. just the inclusion of the LA Battlecrapper makes me think there has to be FAR better ones out there that have been looked over and would fit into our universe or even be seriously better in an artist/art critics point of view. Them putting the Tornado (even though i think its a sexy ship)in place of the La battlecruiser, while admirable.. just doesn't cut it.
Deviantart dropped the ball on this one and while their efforts were... admirable... its time to pass the judging back into the hands of CCP.

First time ever posting in the assembly hall.
I followed the contest almost daily and was really excited to see so many teriffic designs being submitted for consideration.
Frankly I'm disgusted by the lack of professionalism demonstrated by the deviantart judges in picking such lackluster and unpopular entries for the finalists.
The popular submissions were popular for a reason, I like many others were genuinely excited over the possibility of playing them ingame.
I hope CCP will listen to the player base and remedy this situation ASAP.

Well, the Stahlvogel (and a number of other great entries) got DQ'd because they had shading on the lineart. Apparently shading counts as "color" in the judges view.
The Tornado made it in, as we all know and are quite pleased about.
And the Aquilon... well no f#$&ing clue why that one didn't make it. It's lineart was all grey and black, it looked perfectly Gallente, and the art was great. No reason it shouldn't have been chosen. Same thing with the Horus.
Quite simply, dA screwed up badly. But in many art contests (and not just on dA) I've noticed that judges will often do pity nominations, where obviously bad art gets chosen to bolster the hopes and dreams of aspiring and/or crappy artists.

New addition from devaintart's "apology":
Quote:
Dedicated players of EVE who have a deep, intimate relationship to the game will likely use a different lens in viewing what the artists have produced than would the skilled artists we used to judge the contest semi-finalists. When you blend two worlds, that of the arts and that of EVE, you cannot expect the result to look only as EVE would have it be.
That is an ABSOLUTE INSULT TO THE EVE COMMUNITY! ! !
Deviantart obvious feels they are ELITE amazing artists with a BETTER OPINION on what LOOKS GOOD and are telling eve players to STFU. Well Deviantart can suck it, the Eve community isn't taking that crap. We have way more talented people than Deviantart will ever have. Deviantart people are basically telling us to take the crap art they feel is best and put it in our game forcibly, well screw them. And their taste in art sucks even if they know nothing about Eve. They are obviously giving a lame excuse for the horrible crap that unfolded with this contest. Somebody made a mistake, how else would a ship like LA Battlecruiser make the top 15? or the donut ship and many others? All chosen over much better entries made earlier in the contest? it's very obvious that whoever chose these simply skimmmed off the top of the newest entries and chose at almost random for a top15. A top 15 is NOT A RANDOM MOST RECENT 15!!!
I could easily write many walls of text giving the most profane and vulgar hateful words to Deviantart but I'm afraid if I do ill get banned from the forums, so im really holding myself back here, there's so much I want to say about Deviantart and how much they suck, you have no idea! ahhggg!!

Even if they can't force DeviantArt to rejudge (which they SHOULD), they should judge independently about what ship to add to the game, because of the current lineup, the Tornado will likely smoke the competition; a sad state for the entries that could have given it a run for its money.
Personally, I'd love to see CCP pick their own semifinalists and put a poll on the forum and ask the PLAYERS which ship they want the most.

Supported - some of the entries were craptastic, unoriginal, not useful (advertising ship, wtf?) and just plain stupid.
And the "apology" was purely telling us that we should shut up and accept they know better.
Tell DA where to shove their judges, if they allow some rulebreakers, but disqualify excellent artists on a whim - if they have no taste for what makes good EVE ships, and if they have no taste in general.

WOW!
I am in my final year of a games modelling degree at university, I really wanted to enter the competition but due to mainly a lack of spare time, but also the amount of awesome designs already submitted I decided I wouldn't be able to spare the time to create and enter something credible.
During the first stage there were heaps of designs that I immediately thought they would give anything I could produce a run for its money (and better). However after seeing the semi-finalist...boy was I shocked, I see 2 maybe 3 designs that I would say are realistic contenders in comparison to other entries.
I feel bad for some of the contenders that clearly spent more time, effort and skill on their entries than some of the semi-finalist.
poor form DA.

I am quite disappointed too. Some are the choices I expected to see selected, but a lot, not really. Not that I am mad or whatever not to have been selected, I was prepared to that and did it mostly for the experience (and it was a great one), especially as I think some designs deserved way better than mine, and were not selected either (except one or two I was watching carefully).
It is always difficult to criticize and speak about that when you actually are part of the contest and lost. But I have to support this petition though. As an artist myself, the semi finals choice makes little sense for me. |

Tornado makes me want to fly Minmatar, I fly everything but Minmatar thusfar.
By contrast LA battlecruiser and OKHOS Battleship make me glad that for the most part they'll be distance blips.
Deviant art was the right place to post the contest, the wrong place to decide what from the contest was good and fit into the EVE universe as it's abundantly clear that some of them don't know a thing about EVE and have no real care for the end product of this ( a ship roughly like the winners goes into EVE ) vs the prizes.

Spine-mounted railgun, in my EVE? IMHO the Stahlvogel looks like it belongs in Fusion 2097, not EVE Online.
The contest had rules, many of the good entries didn't follow them. For example take the Sandstorm Minmatar Battlecruiser - it has the required views, but they're all done with shaded models not line art as per the rules.
At the very least, the judging panel should have been joint between DA staff and EVE Online art department. And perhaps the EVE community should have been more involved at the beginning of the process by commenting on the ships they liked.
There is always the possibility of the EVE community viewing the entries and picking our own list of what is good, what is funny (as a minmatar pilot, I'm saddened that noone submitted an office chair with uzi machine guns), what is bad, and what is terrible.
The people that did comment on the contest have been extremely poorly behaved - there are rules on the DA site about being polite, even if you don't agree with someone. I suspect that the behaviour of the EVE community has left a very bad impression on all the DA folks who participated in the competition, regardless of the judging.
The final 15 do show that the DA community has a very different idea of what a spaceship looks like than the EVE community does. Some of them would be best described as rocket planes, not spaceships. I think the DA community needs to go pull out a few dozen issues of "Analog" to get some inspiration :)
Look at the BES for example - a very creative design, complies with the contest conditions, is very EVE-ish in its appearance, but relies on using line of sight to protect the ship inside it's dry dock. Everyone knows that weapons don't use line of sight! What was the guy thinking? At least the design showed some originality.
FWIW I can see the merits of the current pick of semifinalists - but the judging was about compliance with the rules, and artistic merit. I agree with the sentiment that the Precursor/Precursor Mk 2 should have made it into the finalists list. Perhaps CCP could approach that artist independently?

Simple solution: Redo the contest from the start with one more rule; you must be an EVE member to submit a ship.
Otherwise, fire deviantart and rejudge with CCP judges (or the community) from the beginning.

without consider eve integration or not, some of the entries who was selected are a epic joke to be in the top 15 , in regards of some awsome jobs posted in the contest !!!! ( no need to link some of them, i m sure everybody here could find better eligible submission ( 6views+1 another))
Some of Those top 15 pics looked to be choosen too quickly by judge, or if not those judge needs to change job quickly too...
it s just my "modeler 3d / graphic professional" impress on this.... DA Failling!!

I keep finding ship after ship that are better designed, more in-line with racial styles, yet not similar to current stuff.
So yes, the current 15 seem to have been picked totally at random. The point of this contest was to get GOOD ships, not to let DA "judges" pick random ships- they're obviously not qualified to judge if they've never played the game.

Yeah, several of the semi's are a bit missplaced. Also too me it looks like they didnt care much if the submission looked like a ship already existing in Eve either.

Hopefully you have the option to combine with a thorax to create BESAX which would then spew out drones until everything had died.

imo, the whole contest is a disaster. CCP should have given more information on what they were looking for, and less vague.
Here's a good example, telling people it should look like it'd fit into eve is pointless, because there's very little in terms of common ship design. An Amarrian ship looks vastly different than an minnie ship, for example. Rather than posing a chart, they should have made a list of things that should be included, like engines (rather than star trek style nacelles) and things not to do.
It probably didn't help that the chart they posted includes all the ships in the game including sleeper models, Talocan models, and Jovian ships, none of which are public and none of which are likely to become public.
The second problem is that they didn't make it clear what they starship will be used for; for example, if I posted an amarrian factory ship, would they discard it because they're not looking to make 3 other Empire ships of the same type? Are these ships going to be standard models or one of gifts?
All this information would have helped focus the design efforts of these artists towards producing better ships.

I didn't even bother to follow the main of the competition, and looking at it now I'm kind of glad.
It annoys the hell out of me that practically all of the semi-finalists seem completely ignorant of Eve's own art style or back history. I'm glad they put the Tornado up there after all, without it only the only ship I could even remotely imagine seeing in space would be the Tsunami. Too many flashy lights without a single familiar shape that I can relate to any of the factions. Aside from the 'advertising transport', which is pretty much the Iteron.
Lots of good art sure, but almost nothing I would want to run into in the game.

If their feelings are hurt or how they perceive the EVE community has no bearing on the argument that, in general, the semi-finalists are heartily agreed to be disagreeable. This was a test (whether intended or not) to see if the people of DeviantArt were compatible with that of EVE Online.

If this contest had been run on either of those two sites you would have had some fantastic, mind blowing entries produced by professionals in the field and Eve would have ended up with an incredible looking new ship.
On the downside though you would only have had about 50-100 entries as most people would have considered the competition out of their league. Since this was largely a marketing exercise the point was to garner publicity and enthusiasm from as many people as possible, the choice of deviantArt does make sense.
It was a good plan, there are many fantastic artists on dA and some excellent designs were produced. The plan went south because the dA judges failed to pick from the best entries, instead picking semi finalists seemingly at random.

Supported. There are way too many amazing entries that lost to completely un-EVE-related designs.
Basically, dA's judges don't know EVE. We know EVE. We should vote on them ourselves, or have someone else who knows EVE, (A dev/designer) do the selections, and then let the final 4 up to a vote.

So the whine is that entries were judged on aesthetics and the official posted rules rather than "OMG, I'd totally fly that!"?
I must say I rather like the semi-finalists, nice spread of various styles .. sure some wouldn't really fit into Eve without some PF shenanigans but considering the crap CCP came up with for the silly special shuttle and other 'gift' ships I doubt that is a hindrance.
Snippet from rules:
Originally by: Rules
Judging of the winners will be based on Originality, Creative Presentation of the Task, and Technical Artistic Skill ...
You would have to go way off the track to not meet those criteria (ie. adding legs and crap  ).
No support as its a pointless issue.

1) take a closer look to all the other entries(not only most popular), you will find far better ships, even more original, better fitted to eve standards, with better presentation ecc
2) If you read the rules you will find also in the beginning:
Quote:
Entrant must follow the instructions on Contest Site and submit a completed entry of a depiction of a "starship" suitable for inclusion in EVE Online ("The Work"), inspired by (but not incorporating any graphic elements of) the examples provided at the Contest Site ("SponsorÆs Marks").
How you missed that? But also in the contest article:
Quote:
Examples of how an entry should look are here (image of eve ships) and here (video of eve ships).

there are far more beautiful ships that actually fit into the eve universe, and for that part, creations that not only looked beautiful, but also had thought behind them.
giving us some lame excuse like "our views differ" makes me wonder why deviant art was chosen, and makes me wonder why the hell they didnt atleast study eve online in order to make more informed decisions.
in short, **** deviant art, and let CCP judge the best ship (they created all of the ones in game after all.. and those are pretty nice. if deviant art created the ships for eve, we would have flying roses and fedex boxes.)

1) Re-judge the entire contest. Throw out the opinions of the deviantart judges, and have judges from CCP select a new set of 15 semi-finalists as well as the three winners (out of the CCP-chosen 15).
not going to happen. Would cause too many legal issues from the 15 that made it to the semis. Never mind the PR ones.
Pick the best entry from the 15, incorporate that ship, award the other prizes.
Then go through the full list of entries and see which other ships should also be included. With any luck they can get a full racial set.
I would definately be interested in seeing a full list of the valid entries, with the DA scoring for each, though

summary of blog:
More fluff and bullcrap. Apparently a simple "logo" on your ship could "disqualify" you?!?! And this was just one of her many fail misinterpretations of the contest rules. So she gives a myriad of other reasons why all the cool ships were disqualified and the really crappy ones were chosen. However, after reviewing the crappy top 15 again, I have seen that some don't follow her own strict misinterpreted set of contest rules! fail! The bottom line is, they feel they know art better than us, they chose a bunch of crap ships and now are coming up with lame excuses as to why it's this way. I guarantee you if CCP artists had been judging they would have chosen a top15 of nothing but the best-- Best Eve-like ships, Best Drawn ships, Best Art, everything. DeviantArt sucks at judging plain and simple and I still feel that truly were extremely lazy in choosing the top15 and simply chosen out of the most recent submissions. This Danielle person writing these blogs is on such a high horse. She needs to just admit they are way too incompetent to truly pick a top15 for such a great game as Eve and that their sense of art for spaceships is WAYY OFF ...and she needs to admit that CCP needs to take the whole contest over and pick a new top15 cus deviantart sure as heck can't do it right.

1) Re-judge the entire contest. Throw out the opinions of the deviantart judges, and have judges from CCP select a new set of 15 semi-finalists as well as the three winners (out of the CCP-chosen 15).
not going to happen. Would cause too many legal issues from the 15 that made it to the semis. Never mind the PR ones.
Pick the best entry from the 15, incorporate that ship, award the other prizes.
Then go through the full list of entries and see which other ships should also be included. With any luck they can get a full racial set.
I would definately be interested in seeing a full list of the valid entries, with the DA scoring for each, though
It needs to happen. You want a PR disaster? Let any of the final fifteen make it into the game. I've already stated publicly that i'd hunt these ships. If CCP lets these 15 go through it flys in the face of EVERYTHING they've said concerning incarna over the past year and why they're doing what they're doing with Incursion to boot.
There are so many entries that should be there and aren't. Only 3 of the 15 are game worthy only 2 of them are able to be made. If we do what you suggest. You get two minmatar ships. Thats it. And they aren't a new type of ship either. I voice my overall support for something being done. It has to be drastic and it has to get DA's attention.
Quote:
'We can confirm that none of the deviantART staff judges were experts on EVE. They were not required to be - - just like an artist entering the contest was not required to be expert in EVE.'
This was in DA's latest 'statement' on the situation. And THAT tells me all i need to know. Experts? I'd be surprised to find if one judge even PLAYED. And even on artistic grounds. The 15 that were chosen were not even close to being the top 15 submitted.
Speaking as someone who's debated this on Gen Discussion i'm ****ed generally and i hope CCP takes real action here. There were several submissions (One of which DA has PULLED DOWN! because of its comparison to the others...) That have been fully ignored for whatever reason despite their quality.
Now i must take issue with one thing: The **** and vinegar being thrown at the artists in question. One of the artists in question left DA for good others are getting bombarded. Players who are doing this need to stop. They created what they would want in the game. There are technical and in some cases artistic reasons why they shouldn't be in the 15. But none of them show a lack of talent or some of the other things that have been thrown around. I personally didn't put an entry in because i would have ran into the same problem as the Peregrine (which has been pulled down by DA..) I'd have gone for more than 6 pictures and the time involved for me to make it was prohibitive. There does need to be a change and these 15 chosen should have at least some compensation for the ****storm that has erupted on them. It is a storm entirely of someone else's making. I do protest the obvious ripoffs and i do protest the non racial ships but i will not make a personal attack on these artists. And you shouldn't either.
As an artist everything we do is subjective. It is entirely up to the person looking at it to determine what they believe. We try our damnedest but in the end its the person who looks at it that makes the decision.
CCP Stop this before it jumps off the tracks. Please do not force players to take extreme measures in the existence of one of these semi-finalists in the game. Re-judge this contest yourselves and get a proper set of ships in game.

Supported.
To the Deviantart Artists
I have enjoyed perusing your art. There are many talented people, of varying levels of skill, displaying their art there.
I wish you all the best and hope you understand that most of the comments I and others have left are directed primarily at deviantart
mangers/ judges, and should not be taken as an attack on you the artists.
To DeviantArt management
I will shortly be cancelling my account, never to return. This is my (albeit small) protest at what I consider to be an utter mockery of a contest.
The judging of this contest was a joke, not to mention an open insult to the artists themselves.
Failure to accurately describe or clarify the rules was unprofessional, failure to apply those rules equally is unforgivable.
This entire competition has been a shining example of poor organisation, suspicious judging and truly offensive public relations.
To CCP
I sincerely hope this experience has not damaged the possibility of similar competitions in the future. There is a wealth of talented people who would love to see their
dream ship added to the game, and I feel Eve could benefit greatly from this.
Should you (CCP) decide to hold this type of competition again, please consider hosting/ judging it internally so as to insure that both the organisers and judges are competent to make the necessary decisions. As it appears that regardless of how "professional" the judges at DA may be, in this particular case I would in no way consider them "competent".
Peace.

Cross-posting from Eve general:
CCP: I beg of you, take a look at the most popular entries: Ask yourself how they could choose this over this????? This one was extremely popular, and it didn't even get mentioned.... Minnie pilots were going nuts over this.
Or this (a flying frisbee????) over this? (Also extremely popular wth Gallente fans)
Or this (a Jovian ship, that we can't even use, made the semi-finals????) over this??? This one was almost as popular as the Tornado above by Caldari pilots.
Or this (honestly, WTF?) over this??? (Amarr Pilots were going nuts over this)
What the hell happened there? Of those finalists, maybe one (barely) or two (the only decent eve-like semi-finalist) fit into the eve universe, but only barely.
I mean, what the hell is this or this?????
This crap is an insult to eve.

Devianart must pay for this atrocity!

I didn't participate at all in the contest, and I like the 15 semi-finalist selections. But of course, I remember seeing a few better ones that should be there. But my main concern is that DeviantArt (not CCP) is judging the art works. I feel that it's best for CCP's art department to judge the works rather than rely on an art site that has nothing to do with Eve.

I flipped through a lot of these entries for weeks during the contest, saw a lot of kewl ones, and kewl but no-chance-in-hell ones and I was utterly shocked when basically all of the ones I felt were really possible eve ships were in there.
I like deviantart as a platform for providing all kinds of artists room to show their stuff, but this is eve and this is serious business

Deviantart doesnt suck, barrack mate uses it, he was very very goo... aww what the ****, its a place for those of us who never think about moving forward. I've never heard about more than single good use for deviantart, and thats Humon (Google humon comics), but beside that...
Also when they say deviantART judges, do they mean people rejected by artworld? Im bit confused on the topic. On related note, what the f*** does it have to do with internet spaceships?
Im happy that what won, won. I also liked naru very much but DAMN I should have watched some of the non-semi artpieces. Especially that caldari mentioned up there, damn.

What can I even say alongside this picture? I can't be the only one who thought this.
Of course CCP liked it, it was a Myrmi with some bits pulled off, reversed, and a the paint stripped off.

Well, my first thought was wtf, only one or two of the semi finalists look like eve ships. But in the end. they don't have to.
If, say the Tornado wins all non minmatar pilots will be ****ed. So, it needs to be something unique, not belonging to one of the major races.
My votes goes therefore to the Jove BC. Looks good, fits into the eve universe und is probably totally OP.

Captured the feel of the Gallente, front heavy captured very well, elegant curves captured along with blocky shapes, slightly less industrialized as Gallente should be, good render in a dark cinematic style.

1st Place - Tornado
2nd Place - Naru-Kami
3rd Place - Tsunami
The two Minmatar ships do fit, imo. The Gallente one... meh, maybe there were better, maybe not, at least those crazy OP "defense" ships didn't make it to the final cut. I like the look of the Tornado (don't like the stats so much though). The only problem I have with it is some of the wording, like calling it a tier 3 battleship.
@ Smoogle - because no Minmatar ships look like that (Naglfar, Maelstrom, Tempest)? That would mean that it actually fits as being another Minmatar ship with top and bottom wings.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

I find myself also wondering WTF was CCP thinking... a ART contest , judged by non eve playing people.. I was looking in the rules and stuff they had, you didnt have to need any knowledge of the game at all.. just had to make a ship WTF!!!!!!!!!
so many good designs by dedicated members of this community got overlooked, because it wasnt edgy enough, didnt spark the Pro Art guys intrests.. what a bunch of bull
gets my vote
This contest should have been judged ONLY by ccp devs, and ONLY way to enter to be a paying eve costumer.
