Announcing The Boundless 1st Sculpting Festival! [Concept]

oops, could be. I just chose whatever color seemed to distinguish it most from the others.

Alright, the graph should be closer to accurate now.

In other News:

Day 2 Gathering post!

Filled quota for white refined metamorphic stone, and blue Ice.

Also, If you didnā€™t notice earlier, we have part of the gem tool set prize! I was able to come across enough diamonds to make the hammer and shovel! (Btw, shovel seems to sit low on shelves)

It may not seem like much but the Festival Bank is beginning to stock up! Had a fair contribution of refined stone blocks donated by @captnoswad! He is based just
top-side of @Jeffrotheswellā€™s Nasharil portal hub section. Please go say hi! We give a BIG thankyou for your contribution!

Lastly in todayā€™s Sculpture Festival News:

Weā€™ve had our first competition submission! @willcrutchley and his Levitating Crimson Core in Munteen Paradise! Go check it out; especially at night!

Just finished my Mountainā€™s Peak. This sculpture would be my submission ā€œif I wasnā€™t hosting the Festival myselfā€. Freezing Flame is on top of my mountain top workshop connected to @SWProzee1ā€™s Hub Market on Septerfon! Warning! Currently dangerous to reach without a grapple!
Enjoy!


Workshop from nearby peak. (Work in Progress)

Anything helps. Even if its tools to go mine more materials. :wink:

Are you online now? Hammers and shovels arenā€™t in the request baskets

Iā€™ll be on a bit later, gtg

Due to the unstable connection, itā€™s been taking me too long to take a full inventory tonight. Iā€™ve updated the List

As you shall see, if we currently are fully stocked the square will be black with the number inside.
If there are more blocks than required then the square will be red. Please note that although the Festival will graciously accept whatever materials provided it will ultimately be the community that dictates how much variety the competition will have available due to donations.

In Donations today!

The Bank received generous donations that totaled:

1758 blocks of White Refined Metamorphic
528 Dark Grey Refined Igneous
297 Glacier
891 Tan Refined Sedimentary
10 Copper Chisels

@willcrutchley also made a wonderfully generous donation as well!

(@willcrutchley, I donā€™t know if you have any shop, location, or announcement you would like made but let me know and ill throw you some free publicity throughout the festival!)

I have some logs, if you set up a basket I can donate them too at some point ( I go away tomorrow for a week, so not then but at some point)

Iā€™d just like to keep this post near the top of the forums. (Maybe it could be pinned @james) as I donā€™t think itā€™s getting much attention. Anyone can enter, all you need are some blocks and a copper chisel which you can acquire quite early on. I would love to see some more entries to this competition!! As @Nedaryn said, just use a chisel to make a sculpture in a 4x4 area around a major community (just so that people can come and see it easily) and then screenshot it. If you are a new player, you should stay on the starter planets, but it can be on any planet. The blocks donā€™t need to be special either, you can just used soil or rock or some other raw material. Anyways, just wanted this thread to get some more attention.

Thank you :grin: @james

Donations are currently stagnant, and I could still use some more sculpture submissions. (@willcrutchley is the only submission currently and we need 5 people or 2-man teams for the competition) This is an event for ALL players, from our brand new players to the ā€œold fogiesā€ who have been around since Oort Online. You can join the competition even if youā€™re a ā€œproā€ sculptor! Iā€™m looking at you @Pseudonym84 and anyone else on the Elop Portas Team. You are welcome to try and claim the community crown of Best Sculptor for real!

Please, I would truly appreciate community support for this event as I think this large-scale type of community interaction is a vastly untapped part of Boundless as well as a possible major boost to a cityā€™s economy and much more!

Iā€™m also asking all merchants to stock and create a Boundless wide sale on chisels!
All city planners and community plot managers: please try to allow public space for these public artworks if asked for it or heck even offering it could be great as well!

A Reminder to all. We still require more than just sculpting blocks! Any materials are welcomed!

Please, please, please, I would like to see more people become excited and involved in this event. ( I am hoping for more sculpting seen galaxy-wide).

Last, I will, unfortunately, have to suspend the festival until further notice if there isnā€™t enough support or interest in it as it is a large amount of time and resources for me to commit to a project if people arenā€™t interested in participating in it. I will be making this decision by the end of this weekend as the festival timeline of 1-2 weeks would already be more than half done.

P.S. Donā€™t worry, All donated materials can be given back to the community or donator if festival caves. I donā€™t plan to benefit from this mass resource gathering. It is all community items in my opinion.

Iā€™m not quite in the ā€˜old fogeyā€™ category - at least not in-game, but Iā€™ll be sure to make an appearance. I do love community projects after all. Iā€™m free tomorrow evening, so Iā€™ll come down and see what I can do.

Iā€™ll also pass your request onto the Cuttlepunks (Elop Portas Build Team) - @Spoygg loves his chisel, and @QUEENNUTS is also somewhat of an artist with her designs. @H3yjo is a dab hand at sculpting, and it goes without saying that @Dzchan94 and @Scratchnwiff can sculpt.

Most of the team are busy out of game, and whatever time they spend in-game is usually on either Portas or any other projects weā€™re working on, but weā€™re team players, so if you think we can help out by taking part, Iā€™m sure thereā€™s something one or two of us can do.

Aw, I hope it goes through! Been looking forward to seeing more people make stuff. For my part, alas, irl work for the next few weeks is shaping up to be busier than the summer has been. But I dropped off some red stone and Iā€™ll keep processing what iā€™ve got.

Another option could be to ask the builders to either provide some portion of their own materials, or submit a list beforehand of what theyā€™d like to use?

Eh? Somebody call for old fogies? Iā€™ll be coming back from my break from the game soon, so I may put in a submission my self, though I have a few projects I want to work on, so we will see.

Will show up but I canā€™t find the day or time? I know I seen it, just canā€™t find it now. Itā€™s been a busy week.
If someone can re-post it for me. Thank you so muchā€¦:crazy_face:
