[09/15/15] Community Crunch Contests - ARKitect, ARKArt, War Paint, Mobile Bases!

Hey everyone!

We're still collecting entries for both #ARKitect and #ARKArt contests this week! If you'd like to enter, be sure to share your screenshots here!

For those who aren't aware what these contests are all about, here's a snippet from one of our previous crunches:

Community Contests!

Every week for the foreseeable future we’ll be hosting two contests for our Community Crunch.

ARKitect

The first contest is for the #ARKitect award. This is a title given to the Survivor who has created, in our eyes, the best base for the week. Survivors will need to upload their screenshots to the Community Hub, both the Artwork or Screenshot section will suffice and then post them in the designated thread, it’s also possible that we’ll see the screenshots in the hub but posting them in the thread will ensure that they’ll be spotted!

We’ll be judging the bases not on the quality of the screenshot, but on the unique designs, functionality, and the use of in-game tools available to you! At the end of each week, the screenshot for the best base will be featured in our #ARKitect section of the Community Crunch and will be awarded a cash prize of 200$!

If you’re unable to take a high quality screenshot, do not fret! Just upload the screenshots you can take and your world savefile to google drive or an alternative site, post it on the thread, alongside the coordinates for the base and we’ll have a look ourselves :)! If you’ve made the base on an Official Server, just let me know the location and whichever server it is and I’ll go grab the shots for you.

You can find the world savefile in the following folder:

or below if it’s a local game

We don’t care where you build the base, whether it’s Official, Unofficial, or Local Play! We just want to see what our budding arkitects can come up with and for those wondering, the same survivor can be an arkitect more than once however we will slightly weigh our decision against repeat winners just to spread the fun around, though if it's overwhelmingly awesome for a repeat winner, we'll bow to it!

#ARKArt

The second contest which will take place is for the #ARKArt award! This is a title given to the Survivor who has created, in our eyes, the best piece of art for that week using our new Per-Pixel painting system! Similarly to #ARKitect, Survivors will need to upload their masterpiece to the Community Hub, both the Artwork or Screenshot section will suffice and then also post them in the designated thread, it’s also possible that we’ll see the screenshots in the hub but posting them in the thread will ensure that they’ll be spotted!

As always, the artwork is not being judged on the quality of the screenshot or the graphical settings used, but instead what you have managed to draw and produce using the new painting system. For this contest we will have to disqualify any work that uses another company’s IP and or those pieces which are generally considered to be offensive or obscene!

At the end of each week (This will run from Thursday to Thursday), a winner will be selected and featured in our Community Crunch and will be awarded a cash prize of 50$! If you’re unable to take a high quality screenshot for the feature, do not fret! Just upload the screenshots you can take and your world savefile to google drive or an alternative site, post it on the thread, alongside the coordinates for the artwork and we’ll have a look ourselves :)! If you’ve made the base on an Official Server, just let me know the location and whichever server it is and I’ll go grab the shots for you.

You can find the world savefile in the following folder:

or below if it’s a local game

Once again, we don’t mind where you create the artwork, just want to ensure that if you’re unable to showcase it, we can for you!

Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see what you've got to share :)

--

This week we'll also be accepting entries for the newly introduced: Warpaint images, human and dino tattoos/bodyart for the #ARKArt award as well as bases both on your Brontos and Rafts for #ARKitect! Can’t wait to see the platform bases, the ships and tattoos/bodyart!

Hi ppl,

Me and a friend built this castle inspired by the XBOX one ARK Trailer.

Its located at the Volcano around 48/38 But You will definitely see it if you fly around the Volcano (Its about half of the size of the Mountain :D)

On the Server : [GER]LoewenherZ[PVPvE|NightBaseProtection|Root] - (v210.0)
Ip: 144.76.91.147:7777

Its an unofficial Server so its NOT Spawned in. Every single wall/ceiling/pillar or even torch was farmed. It took us about 2 weeks more than 50000 stones and a lot of deaths due to falling down :D.

At night with torches on:

an upwards shot from the lower main Gate:

Birdsview:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=516368521

A view from the upper part:

Some of the inner architecture:

A spiral staircase in one of the towers:

Connection between lower and upper Part:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=516367733

And one last View of the front:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=516367578

Everything you see on those pictures is accesible (once you fly up). Every room can be visited by feet and is connected mostly with ramps because we dont like ladders that much. As the castle is huge you can really get lost inside and take quite some time to get from the lowest to the highest point.

@Jat as its an unofficial Server if you want to visit it you will probably need to write to an admin once you re on the server. Otherwise you could just add me as a friend and I could fly you up there with my eagle or unclaim an eagle so you can take a look around for yourself.
Just write me a message and Ill be glad to show you around :)

My mate who built this with me is "Badsys" He built that great upper part with the huge tower and all above the connection part with the middle Gate.

Our castle, built on Unofficial PvP. Took us quite a while, and I don't think I'll ever be finished adding things to it.

These first three were taken before we completed the other two towers, I just loved the lighting in them and wanted to share.

From the other side with the last two towers completed.

Aerial view. I took these before finishing the second row of crenelations along the roof.

No inside pictures, sorry. We're on pvp and I'd rather not give away our secrets :)

Also wanted to share our Giga, French Babe. She has a new look.

What castle is complete without a maid to clean it up? Someone has to sweep all the poops into the bin!
