Path of Exile Talent Competition

I took some of the absolutely fantastic artwork that was submitted for the contest and made Magic: The Gathering cards out of it. I only selected 10 here for this purpose.

I'm unsure if this should technically qualify - I did not ask for permission to use this artwork and I would feel terrible if a transformation of a submission to the contest won the contest it was submitted to. I am more than happy to remove any of the cards if one of the authors would like me to. Just PM me.

All artwork is credited. Artists are:
Quentin Gautier — xKzo
Akira159
SMOKOwita
Fhasen
jpsc2000
DimitriGR
Anrea
Catake
FudgeCakeDevil
Grimair

Enjoy!

Time to post my minecraft video :) Give me a sec :D

My piano cover of Orion from Conquerors of the Atlas: https://youtu.be/S9f7dNhqrzc

Full playlist of the 4 piano covers I submitted for the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9f7dNhqrzc&list=PLvAbY_a6G48CrzgD9pcwODB6RKRFQsblP

If it's preferable I'd like for all 4 to be considered together, but know there's a soft 3-minute limit so not sure if that's possible. All in all these took about 20 hrs to record alone (there were lots and lots of retakes), on top of another 30 hrs of practice in the past month or so. All covers are done by ear with no sheet music.

Thanks for hosting the competition! I had a lot of fun making these - and got a lot of motivation to better my piano skills :)

Absence of Value and Meaning

Original Song "The Exile"

Lyrics:
I am a hunter of men
but the fog closing in to the beachhead
has me trembling
To get to my feet
The sand underneath
makes a blanket
for the undead

And I begin again

I am a hunter of men
I have lost all my friends
To the clutches of delirium
The mapmaker cries
The portal breaks wide
Something sleeping
Opens its eyes

And I charge in again


1. I'll go out there alone and break my bones
I'll go at them alone and risk my soul

2. Poisoned corrupted wretched bleeding hindered silenced withered paralyzed blinded frozen

3. My hollow palm up to the sky
The burning ground cooks me alive
A voice from somewhere deep inside
Now beckons "closer"; I abide

Another entry to the competition in the last minutes! Why am i doing this to myself? :)



Here is my submission:

I created my own expansion and league
The Echoes of the Enderdragon and...
The Nether League!

I don't know if there is still time, here is my second contribution, a different concept for Maven, very happy to have participated! I love this game.

Talk about cutting it close...

For the Talent Competition, I created a short and jarring, jagged, jumpy... and sweet cinematic featuring the late and great Kitava. Please check out the link. Thank you!

Unfortunately, I had to sacrifice a ton of visual quality to meet the deadline today. I vastly underestimated the rendering time and had to cut most of the volumetrics, particles, and a few other things. once the competition is over, I'll have to update it.

Tried to make a diorama of the "Slums". First time doing something like that haha
