The Loading Screen Contest!

[UomoCapra]

Hi Kerbonauts!

It’s been a while, but we think it’s time for a new KSP challenge! Given how creative this community is, we’re confident the results will be amazing.

The KSP community has always played a crucial role in the development of the Kerbal Universe, and with the KSP franchise growing, there is an important mission you Kerbonauts can help us with. 

It’s about time to update the game’s loading screens and we came to the conclusion that we should let you, the community, submit your illustrations, screenshots, pictures and/or any form of fanart you’d like to see in KSP’s loading screens! A set of finalists will be included in Update 1.8. Cool right?

This is your chance to leave your mark on the original KSP and contribute with some amazing loading screen artwork to reflect what the game and our community has grown to! We are incredibly excited to see what you come up with!

Requirements:

• Needs to be KSP inspired.
• Submissions need to be self-made
• References to other games or IPs are not allowed
• All submissions must have a frame aspect ratio of 16:9
• Resolution:
• For screenshots - a minimum of 1920x1080, the higher the better. 
• Illustrations and pictures should be sized at a minimum of 1920x1080.

Rules (please see Official Rules below for further details):

• Create KSP fan art for the KSP loading screen. You are welcome to include mods in your artwork. We ask that you refrain from including text on the artwork being submitted, the exception being a discrete artist signature.
• Save that graphic as a .jpg or .png file with a minimum resolution of 1920x1080
• Upload that image as a reply in this forum post and specify if we are able to share your Forum name if your artwork is selected.

Submission Deadline: Oct 2nd by 11:59pm EST.

You have until October 2nd  to submit your loading screens to this thread. By October 7th, we will select and announce the winners!

[KerbalKore]

Are they allowed to have mods in them? I have several great screenshots, but they all have an unhealthy amount of mods in them.

[PulsarPixie]

@KerbalKore  Yes! Feel free to get creative and use mods. We want to capture the Kerbal experience and know you all will deliver!

[KerbalKore]

Are we allowed to submit more than one?

[PDCWolf]

Rules link doesn't work (yes, I know they are in the OP) and there's one missing detail (assuming positive since not mentioned): Are there limits to how many entries per participant?

[PulsarPixie]

@KerbalKore  Of course, as many as you like! Submit to your heart's content!

[Sebastiaz]

Question, it seems a lil' funny to ask this but could I do a screenshot of a fighter jet w/ touches on photoshop, etc? I don't really know if it would be indecent to do so or not, if not that's fine I understand. ^^

I'm all for this, there's some borderline art pieces that people are sharing here. My only issue is that if a loading screen pic showcases one or more mods, then those who are new to the game and loading in for the first time might get the wrong idea. They'll see all of these amazing parts and graphics and wonder where it all went once they create a new save.

[DjPreside]

Here it is a drawing I made a while ago and originally posted on Reddit, now resized to fit the rules. Inspired by astronaut Karen Nyberg.

[Whirligig Girl]

Given the excessive number of mods being used here, I might as well...

I'm not being serious, I'm trying to point out how silly it is to use severely non-stock images to represent the stock game. That said, the second post above this one with the broken rocket parts and the long exposure of Kerbin orbit looks AMAZING.

If the winning images contain mods we will reach out to the artists to label/reference the mods they used. We will be clear on the loading screen images which areas of the image include mods or not.
