    But how?

     

    The best way to do it is to create an account on a image hosting website like photobucket/flickr/imgur etc for example and then when you're posting it, get the direct link to the image and then click the insert other media button when replying to this thread and choose insert image from URL and paste the direct image link in there and your image should show in the post.

    I have a doubt : Can I use Photoshop on a printscreen to do the title of the movie or with a print i can use only the tools in the game ?

    My understanding is that a screenshot submission is using in-game elements, whether it's just a screenshot or elements cut out and used in a composition using photoshop, creating something new.  An "art" poster is something that is all drawn/painted/created from scratch, think of a digital painting (or a real life painting).  The three examples they gave are all "screenshot" examples.

    At least that's what it was like with the last comp.

    Where are you supposed to get the material to perticipate? Like what program are you supposed to use and so on 😄

    You can use anything.  You can use Captura only and just export the screenshot or you can use programs like photoshop or gimp (free) to create a composition of your screenshots or digital paint whatever you like.  You can even paint/make a poster in real life.  I personally took screenshots in Captura and then brought them into photoshop and added/adjusted everything from there.

    My entry, "Epitaph".

    Have you ever wondered what happens to the Warframes that fail missions? (I'm hoping there isn't any official lore that conflicts with this)  The idea of the poster is that they're just left on the battlefield and some insidious figure has recovered them, reanimated them, deformed them, and given them a mind of their own. Now Barry and the gang want vengeance and all that fun stuff.

    You can see a super-hi-res version here (A4 300Dpi) where you can see all the gloriously horrible imperfections even better because I probably should have spent a lot more time on it refining these imperfections but didn't because of various reasons.   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯   Main assets taken in Captura.

    *EDIT*  I've fixed and updated a few things and reuploaded both the lo-res and hi-res versions. (CTRL F5!)

    Unveil My Heart - Album Cover Contest!

    in Livestreams

    Posted

    Had a pretty clear idea for this one, the Ember flames being a fiery nebula with ember silhouetted etc.  Though I haven't done spacescape stuff in a years so I had to try and remember a lot of things.

    Anyways, I used my Ember and Operator, but my Ember's colour scheme obviously didn't come through and I cut/cropped out my attachments to minimise distraction.  I'd have liked to have made it higher res but my Xbox only captures in 1080p. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Fun facts, Earth, Lua and Jupiter make an appearance and "Recklessly Abandoned" is in reference to the best line from all the Warframe Profile videos (Ember's obviously, go watch it).

    Album: Burned and Recklessly Abandoned
    Artist: Worlds on Fire

    I had to add it to an off-white background so that the white didn't blend with the page but you can see the cover only version without the grey surroundings/shadows here.

    --- Heart of the Primed Tenno ---

    Lemon Cheesecake with a Raspberry Coulis center, decorated with Gold Leaf, Gold Leaf White Chocolate Shards, Lime Slices and Spun Sugar Cone Fragments

    Finally all these years of watching Master Chef has finally paid off! And you can't go wrong with having dessert for dinner (especially on Valentines Day). You can see all the images in hi-res here: http://s32.photobucket.com/user/xDAKx/library/Public%20Album (Thankfully my partner is a photographer so the images are pretty decent)

    What you'll need:

    [size=4]

    1 still beating Tenno heart[/size][size=4]

    1 Nyx Prime helmet[/size][size=4]

    1 Loki Prime chassis[/size][size=4]

    50 New Loka seeds[/size][size=4]

    1 Phorid eye[/size][size=4]

    1 Gallium, ground[/size][size=4]

    1 War[/size][size=4]

    1 Orokin Cell[/size]

    [size=4]

    What you'll need to do:[/size]

    [size=4]

    [/size]

    • [size=4]Acquire a tenno heart by equipping unranked gear to level and heading into a spy.[/size]
    • [size=4]After seeing that you have no way of harming him, the stalker will show in mission.[/size]
    • [size=4]Lulling him into a false sense of security, summon your fellow Tenno and defeat the stalker and steal his stash of tenno hearts on ice. Also grab his war.[/size]
    • [size=4]Place the hearts in cold storage for later[/size]
    • [size=4]From there head to the void and compete Tower 2 Mobile Defence or Tower 2 Sabotage missions to acquire the Nxy Prime helmet[/size]
    • [size=4]After that remain in the void and head to a Tower 4 Sabotage or Tower 4 Survival and grab yourself a Loki Prime chassis[/size]
    • [size=4]From there, get the inside scoop from the Lotus and find where a Phorid manifestation is [/size][size=4]occurring[/size]
    • [size=4]Take that bad boy down and do scooping of a different kind, the kind where spoon meets eyeball[/size]
    • [size=4]Place in cold storage for later[/size]
    • [size=4]Finally, head to Venus and farm some Gallium and, with luck, some New Loka seeds in a New Loka syndicate operation.[/size]
    • [size=4]Grind both up separately (gallium to dust and seeds to a crumb)[/size]
    • [size=4]Insert all items except for the war into the foundry with an Orokin Cell and build. This will take 8 hours to complete.[/size]
    • [size=4]Once done, take the war and "cut out its beating heart" to compete the quest.[/size]

    [size=4]What you actually need and have to do:[/size]

    Raspberry Coulis

    [size=4]

    2 cups raspberries[/size][size=4]

    Quarter cup castor sugar[/size][size=4]

    Juice of half a lemon[/size]

    • [size=4]Place ingredients in a pan and simmer for 10-20 minutes, stirring constantly[/size]
    • [size=4]I accidentally reduced it too much but it worked out perfectly, just don't make it too runny or too thick[/size]
    • [size=4]Once done, add to a small freeze proof jar or bowl and put in freezer to freeze.[/size]

    Lemon Cheesecake

    [size=4]

    1 pack Biscuits[/size][size=4]

    100g unsalted butter[/size][size=4]

    3 lemons juiced[/size][size=4]

    Grated rind of 1 lemon[/size][size=4]

    2 x 250g packs of cream cheese[/size][size=4]

    1 tin of condensed milk[/size]

    • [size=4]Take out cream cheese and allow to sit and become room temperature.[/size]
    • [size=4]Place 3/4 of biscuits into a food processor and blend until crumbs[/size]
    • [size=4]Place aside and blend the rest to a fine dust[/size]
    • [size=4]Place butter in a bowl and put in microwave in 20 second increments until melted[/size]
    • [size=4]In a bowl, add crumbs and melted butter and mix til combined[/size]
    • [size=4]In a cake tin, place biscuit and butter mixture and compact down into a nice thick base[/size]
    • [size=4]Put in fridge to chill[/size]
    • [size=4]In a large mixing bowl add cream cheese and beat until fluffy[/size]
    • [size=4]Add condensed milk a quarter tin at a time and beat in between until all added and well combined.[/size]
    • [size=4]Add lemon juice and rind and beat until well combined[/size]
    • [size=4]Add about 1 -2 cm of batter to the tin and smooth out to become a flat surface. [/size]
    • [size=4]Take frozen raspberry coulis out of freezer and let sit for a few minutes to melt a little so you can take it out without issue (I ended up scooping it out with a rubber spatula)[/size]
    • [size=4]Quickly place frozen coulis into center of cake tin on top of foundation and cover with the remaining batter[/size]
    • [size=4]Place in fridge to set for at least 8 hrs[/size]

    White Chocolate Shards

    [size=4]

    1/2 block chocolate[/size]

    • [size=4]On a flat movable surface, like a cutting board, place aluminium foil or baking paper[/size]
    • [size=4]Place half a block of chocolate in a bowl and microwave in 20 second increments until melted.[/size]
    • [size=4]Pour onto surface and use a spatula to spread into a thin film[/size]
    • [size=4]Place in fridge[/size]

    Spun Sugar Code Fragments

    This was my biggest issue since I had never done this before

    [size=4]

    1/2 cup castor sugar[/size]

    • [size=4]Lay a sheet of baking paper. [/size]
    • [size=4]Here you want to figure out what Warframe is your favourite and start planning the shape you want your sugar nests to be. I chose nyx prime because she has an incredible helmet.[/size]
    • [size=4]To make a nyx shaped structure, I grabbed a piece of paper and made a cone and then put a sheet of baking paper around it. [/size]
    • [size=4]Lay it down and sticky tape it to the baking paper layer so it doesn't move[/size]
    • [size=4]In a pan on medium heat, add sugar and watch.[/size]
    • [size=4]When it begins to melt, swirl the pan for a little and when it melts more, stir with a spatula or spoon until all melted. Reduce to a low heat[/size]
    • [size=4]Take off heat and wait for it to begin to thicken and when it thickens, scoop some with a fork or spoon and drizzle over your structure both north to south and east to west, so there is a cross pattern. Truth be told you can just go nuts and make it whatever you want. [/size]
    • [size=4]Allow to harden and then peel off and put aside.[/size]
    • [size=4]If you are having trouble with your structure, just drizzle it on a flat surface [/size]

    Decoration

    This can be done however you like. Here is what I did:

    • [size=4]Take cake out and put on plate[/size]
    • [size=4]take fine cookie dust and compact into the sides of cake[/size]
    • [size=4]remove excess and keep for whatever you want (ice cream etc) since you no longer need this.[/size]
    • [size=4]Take white chocolate out and break into shards[/size]
    • [size=4]decorate shards with gold leaf[/size]
    • [size=4]place back in fridge so they don't melt[/size]
    • [size=4]decorate cake with gold leaf and lime slices[/size]
    • [size=4]take chocolate shards out and place in cake standing up[/size]
    • [size=4]put sugar cone fragments around the shards[/size]

    That's it, enjoy that bad boy.

    Sorry if the instructions are a tad fuzzy, I'd be making this over the last few days and it's midnight now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I took heaps of progress shots throughout the process so if they are needed to understand how things should look etc let me know and I'll upload them.

    Edit: I've added the progress shots below
