Help Advertise Tierkreis!
Suikosource is pleased to announce a Tierkreis advertisement contest. Contestants are to create any kind of advertisement for the upcoming Nintendo DS title, Suikoden Tierkreis. The series is still a niche, and we want to change that.
The format? Anything. I got this idea from a popular thread at the boards at NeoGAF.com, which had forum members creating one-page magazine ads for games. If you have brilliant Photoshop skills, great. Make a magazine ad. What if you don't? Maybe you're a good writer. Write a short essay convincing someone to take a dip into the Suikoden series. Always wanted to create a Suikoden box art and think you can do better than the current Tierkreis box art? Make one. You can pick anything that you think is going to sell Suikoden to someone who's never heard of it before. I think there's a large amount of creativity in the Suikoden community, and we can use it to increase Suikoden's visibility on the internet.
There will be Suikoden prizes. I'm not exactly sure what yet, but it will be something.
Deadline? I think two weeks will work out well. March 27 it is.
Where to post it? Post it on whatever forum you read this post on. Just as a reply to this topic. We'll check each topic we make for submissions. If its in a format that is hard to just post on a forum (audio / video), email me at thcsquad@gmail.com and we will work something out.
Good luck!

Re: Help Advertise Tierkreis!
Can you ask Konami to provide you with a FanKit that can be used in creating some advertising material? I cannot imaging creating ads without character artworks, backgrounds, logos, etc..

Not to throw in a shameless plug, but:
(WARNING: SPOILERS)
http://spriters-resource.com/ds/suikoden/index.html
You can get some mugshots from the game there, or even some of the artwork used in the game.
That should help a few people.

Re: Help Advertise Tierkreis!
I've ripped (screenshotted) some Tierkreis character art from the main site here:
http://www.suikosource.com/kornholio/tierkreis
I will ask and see if I can get any more varied / higher resolution art as well.

Re: Help Advertise Tierkreis!
Here's a simple concept I drew up for an ad. Its not polished, because I don't have image editing skillz. But if someone wants to fix it up, by all means, do so.
By the way, here is the collection of images created by NeoGAF:

And the actual thread:

Re: Help Advertise Tierkreis!
Ah, I made a separate thread for these, but I think to enter the contest, I have to post in this topic?
Didn't do too much to the images...just edited.
Took this image I found on google image search:
http://i511.photobucket.com/albums/s357 ... cover1.jpg
And made these variations:
http://i511.photobucket.com/albums/s357 ... mall01.jpg
http://i511.photobucket.com/albums/s357 ... 1small.jpg
Made another image from this one:
http://i511.photobucket.com/albums/s357 ... een026.jpg
Into this one:

Re: Help Advertise Tierkreis!
Sounds like fun.

(Alternately: http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/3835/t ... dpaper.png , for that "crummy photoshop simulated 2-page spread" kind of look.)
...somehow, that turned out nothing at all like what I imagined when I started. <_<

I think it's kind of naff.
I might make a new one later.

Re: Help Advertise Tierkreis!
Dang, this is addictive. I should be playing the game, not messing with photoshop.
First page: http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1441/footstepsad1.jpg
Then turn the page for: http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/6618 ... epsad2.jpg
(...on second thought, I should probably have hunted down a different font for "Destiny", but... meh, effort. )
[edit] Out of curiousity - where else has this been posted? I'd like to go check out other people's entries too.

Re: Help Advertise Tierkreis!
Keeping it simple meaning writing some words on an image that Konami already made?
