[CONTEST] Dark Talisman

Post by WildX »

Various devs were challenged to make their version of this item; others (including myself) decided to also make our own edits just for fun and now we have a large variety of dark talismans. I thought it might be fun to open this challenge up to everyone.

Post your own version of the Dark Talisman, a powerful trinket in a cage-like box that keeps it contained. The trinket itself can be any semi-spherical form you like and the box can be made of anything you choose. Similarily, colours are up to you. You can edit existing submissions or make your own from scratch, just make sure you give credit if you do use anyone's work. Anyone can participate and submissions will be voted on next week. The winner will have their item published* and receive a Dark Petal (not quite a Dark Talisman, but close enough!)

And yes, we're intentionally overthinking this. One version of this item would probably have been good enough, but it's easy enough to edit and nitpick that we're just doing it for fun.

Submissions are open until 03/12 when this topic will become a poll.
*Final say on what is published is with the authors of the quest. Winner may be used in a different item as well. All item icons must be 32×32 transparent PNG. Prize is being decided on.

I'd say Reids 2nd one would be the best.

Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music. Has anybody seen this princess I'm looking for?

As potential user of the thing I think I like 2nd version by WildX (download/file.php?id=14285). Its dark, it got nice aura fitting its nature and looks good. Though does it needs to be cubic? Maybe would look even better in other shapes?
