Capcom is Holding a Weapon Design Contest for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

I am so going to develop an insect rod also FIRST!

Oh my god I need to draw something! I mean, I know it's unlikely to get picked but... A monster hunter weapon! Seriously! Oh man, which weapon... Switch axe? Dual blades? Gunlance? So many choices and I gotta pick one!

I call dibs on a hunting horn!

Just had a thought: with 14 weapon types, they really should pick 14 winners, one for each type. I suppose it's more work but it'd be really cool to see the winner of each type...

I think I'll try designing a hammer.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm entering it!
time to put to use all those history classes I wasted drawing weapons due to the lack of a good teacher in high school!

love how they keep it clear that the monetary value of the price is ZERO! XD

I think I'll enter, it seems fun. Never designed a weapon though.. So I'm not expecting to win

The winners from the last contest didn't really impress me, so I'll give one of my designs some detail and try it!

This is a cool idea. I have some sick designs for some weapons but I probably won't enter seeing as how I don't play Monster Hunter. Can't wait to see what the winning designs look like though.

You can say it is a contest, but I won't do your job for you, Capcom.

They could perfectly throw a MH4 3DS XL with a copy of the game in addition to have the weapon in the game, but I guess they are too cheap for that.

Eh, I just want to jump around with the Glaive already, wanna ride a Brachy and rampage the area. (even though you can't really do that, lol)

@sinalefa I wouldn't say having two weapon designs drawn by fans is really is "doing their job". I mean, considering there's hundreds of weapons, making two more isn't that hard for them, coding them in and making the models is almost all of the real work, which they'll be doing anyways. It's more so a couple fans can proudly tell their friends, "I made that awesome sword you're using!" That can't simply be bought at stores like a 3DS or a game can. Of course, if that prize isn't appealing to you, no need to enter, plenty of people are ecstatic for this chance. though it's unlikely any one of us will be picked, but eh, I'll do a quick little doodle, chance to be creative!

Well. Looks like the competition isn't open to anyone under 18. That's a disappointment. Well, good luck to anyone else entering.

I sent mu design, but it seems all the elaborate description I wrote got lost thanks to the email app in my ipad :<

It says on the terms: "If a Canadian resident wins a prize, that person must also answer correctly within a 5 minute time period a mathematical skill-testing question without the benefit of any calculating devices before the prize will be awarded". Why Canadians have this additional rule from all the rest of the world?

I love drawing things, esecially weapons, but I think I'll opt out. I don't think my skills are up to par right now. I need some more practice.

@Cosats Canadian law does not allow contests to give out prizes in "games of chance". They do, however, allow prizes to be given out for skill-based contests, (or games of chance that include a skill testing question...) Usually the question is ridiculously easy and sometimes they will even tell you the answer beforehand. It's just a technicality to make it legal.

Edit: Though considering this is a skill-based contest, I have no idea XD

Anyways, I may enter this, (though my weapon-drawing skills aren't fabulous). I'm already entering a Monster Designing Contest for Earthlock and a Costume Contest for Twisted Fusion, (those Kickstarter games) so hopefully I'll have time for this one too!

Would love to enter this contest, designing either a Hunting Horn or a Lance, but probably wont get around to it.

I thought we all agreed to never be creative again?
