Design a Horse for Turbine


Ever dreamt of being a horse-designer for MMORPGs? Well now you can be, courtesy of Turbine and Lord of the Rings Online!

Turbine are looking for creative people to design a horse for Lord of the Rings Online, with the winning entry actually appearing in the game and a Turbine goody bag for the artist. Best of all, not only do you get to design the horse's markings, but you can create a saddle and blanket too!

Fake enthusiasm aside, this is a pretty strange competition. Asking fans to design a suit of armor, or a tabard or something I can understand, but a horse? Seems like the competition version of a non-sequitur.

Still, if your artistic talents lie in an equestrian direction and you like the sound of people riding your creation around Middle Earth, then all the competition details are here [http://www.lotro.com/news/441-lotro-design-a-horse-contest]. Perhaps you can use Sprinkles (pictured) as an inspiration.

Do you have to design the model for the horse and animations? Or do they give you a template and you just have to 'paint' it?

But I like your use of an Oblivion pic in an article about LotR:O. :D

Also, I don't recall Sprinkles ever appearing in MY Oblivion. Shadowmere was all I needed.

It looks like you're supposed to design a new texture for the horse model already in the game.
Rather paint your design on a few different views of the horse, not paint the actual texture.
Still a strange contest though, I agree.
