Today we have a bit of a treat for ye 'tempers!

En Masse Entertainment has very generously sent over 5 codes to use with their latest MMO: Closers

​

In Closers, players become an elite agent of UNION, an organization dedicated to dealing with the threat of interdimensional aliens spilling through a series of mysterious portals that have appeared throughout New Seoul. At launch, players can choose one of five playable members of the Black Lambs team: Seha, a reluctant combat genius; Sylvi, the dedicated leader; Yuri, the skilled martial artist who only recently discovered her powers; Misteltein, a prodigious young boy with amazing support skills; or J, the grizzled veteran with a troubled past. Each character’s unique personality and combat style allows players to chart their own path through a complex, branching narrative, upgrading their skills and weapons along the way, and unlocking amazing new powers in a quest to vanquish a gargantuan interdimensional threat.

These codes will redeem the Ace Closer Bundle Founder’s Pack that has a full value of $570 and is currently on sale for $149.99. It will grant players the pack exclusive Dark Command costume as well as three other costumes, six full months of Elite Status, premium currency, instant closed beta access, and much more.

Closers: Ace Closer Bundle includes:

Dark Command Costume
Ivory Icon Costume
Tan & Ash; Sweater Club Costume
Phase Wings
Founder's Title
10x Mystery Boxes
10,000 En Masse Points
Elite Status for 180 days

So what do you have to do to be in with a chance of winning one of these packs? Simple, draw us an original anime-inspired character, digitally or photographed/scanned - with a description of their name, backstory and unique abilities or powers. Our staff will choose their top 5 and each one will win a code.

MMO game, never played a mmo before (Not unless you count xenoblade chronicles X) I wonder. Not really a artist but this video piqued my interest.

 

[WhiteMaze]

I have to say, this years competition is definitely original and actually very fun!

The deadline also seems very reasonable, so we will have time to prepare a character's story as well as drawing and coloring it properly.

I've entered the comic competition. Am I allowed to enter this one as well?

Thanks

Of course!

 

[WhiteMaze]

Of course!

Great, thanks for the answer!

Good luck tempers, I look forward to seeing your entries. Merry Christmas!

I dunno if I am so confident in this, so do I just create a anime character? This is the time I wish I had drawing lessons.

Essentially, yeah. Just create a character, give it a story and a power that makes it unique.

Even if you're not that good at drawing, if you start now, you can take your time perfecting your design.

EDIT: One question however, is this supposed to be an original character competition, or an anime fanart competition (drawing characters from anime)? @T-hug

 

[VinsCool]

Can't help but think about those cheesy Sonic OC I saw all over internet.

Good luck to everyone! I'm not interested to participate in this one.

Be that as it may, someone as unskilled wouldn't even call one week's work perfect.

I can only try my best to be honest. Not like I ever used a PC to draw before, I would have better chance using art program like Art academy for WII U or anime workshop for 3DS. I wouldn't even know what kind of PC software to use, i only have basic paint.

PaintTool SAI is a simple program that can make wonders.

If you don't have a tablet PC or a drawing board, feel free to do it traditionally on paper with some old fashioned pencils and colors.

Doing it on the Wii U might work too, although I can't recommend using the 3DS. In all honesty.

Very interesting contest! Was considering starting this game already, so winning a DLC like that would be more than enough reason, but I SUCK at drawing stuff...

Does it have to be a good drawing or any will do? Do bad drawings have same chance of winning?

Her name is Sadim. She's the daughter of a wealthy magnate. Her power is to charm things to have much greater value than their innate worth but only so long as people have confidence in the value of items she has previously charmed. She often sells items well below their charmed value to cover her lavish living expenses.

Is it free?

I just remember that miiverse is gone, without any way to obtain screenshot of wii u titles is not possible to use such a thing. Once again i'm reminded why the wii u is fundamentally flawed

You can always just take a pic with a camera you know... Also, I think there are ways to screenshot if you have a hacked WiiU, but not sure about that

Nope, my tablet can't be used at the moment. The battery inflated like a bag of microwave popcorn.

I need to take it to a technician to have them find a replacement battery and solder it. Otherwise I would consider using it since it does have a stylus and art software that was included with the system.

I believe it is paid, however it should have a free trial period. Easily enough to make your character.

 

[HaloEliteLegend]

Never expected an OC competition! Also, never heard of that game before, but alright En Masse, you have me somewhat interested.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

So does this ANIME character have to look "ANIME" as in a artistic style common for Japanese shows, or something? Or does it just have to be someone who fits the troupe of a anime character, just wanna make sure the scope of the picture that qualifies specially since not everyone has anime art styles.

 

[MiiJack]

Wished I could draw, but I never heard of this game before.

New rules, withdrawing :>
