A lot of things happened in the Sphinx community since our last announcement; the [url=https://discord.gg/sphinx]Sphinx Discord[/url] server got verified, meaning that it is now [i]officially[/i] the place to hang out to talk about the game, and is now jointly managed by THQ Nordic and the previous community staff. Also, the [url=https://sphinxandthecursedmummy.fandom.com]Sphinx wiki[/url] got a big overhaul, [url=https://www.moddb.com/mods/sphinx-and-the-shadow-of-set/]jmarti856's huge beta restoration mod[/url] is chugging along after we released even more beta content last summer and retrofitted more deleted gameplay mechanics into the engine... and, you guessed it, we had another nifty contest organized by our resident duck [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561193780976462]lordquacksmith[/url], of course helped by the rest of the moderation team. This is what they have to say. -- Calling all goblins and ghouls! Another contest is upon us, this time it's a... Design your own Monster contest! What better time to hold this event other than Spooktober? This contest required the participants to design a monster that would fit in the world of Sphinx, using any sort of visual medium to do this: drawing it, painting it, making a 3D model, using Photoshop, making a sculpture, making it out of cheddar. The lucky winner wins a currently released THQ Nordic game of their choice! -- We had some excellent entries this time around, very imaginative designs and styles and in a wide array of mediums, with the Hippo lady taking the crown. Take a look.

Sadly he cannot be salvaged as he's shattered into multiple pieces.[/quote] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31158491/bb36765f3e8260220a83f8b05653409bfbceb6e2.png[/img] [i]HeavensBullet[/i]: Krow (4 votes) [quote]Alright, here's my finished product straight from my mind, I'm pretty proud of it. So his name is Krow, and he's a woodland creature that protects the woods. He is known as nature knight, he used to be human but when he died he was mummified and reincarnated into a wood-like creature.[/quote] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31158491/86cdc9dbe5d8f8c52f89264197fb16417ec99017.jpg[/img] [i]Basket/braxwheeler[/i]: Ancient mummified goose (4 votes) [quote]Here's my submission. It's an ancient mummified Goose! It's used for annoying/ distracting your enemies. Very rare. Its honking was praised for its ability to wake even the deepest sleeping evils.[/quote] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31158491/ef137089c0c48f178afc0e894824d6c677e7a849.png[/img] [i]BQoverlord[/i]: Golden cobra (3 votes) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31158491/141cf2c0c0e542fa5ae86222e8bf71190db24376.jpg[/img] [i]Egyptian-Enthusiast[/i]: Full brute (3 votes) [quote]LuvDuv recommended I submit the joke I made in one of my more recent Sphinx Videos -- the full brute! As described by LuvDuv in the video, it's like a human centipede made of two brutes.[/quote] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31158491/4582ed8741e585504701f112dcf2de91ae8c5817.png[/img] If you want to stay up to date with the latest contests and community news, you can [url=https://discord.gg/sphinx]join our official Sphinx Discord[/url] server.
