World Name: Reboot (NA)
Hello everyone, my nickname is Zan. I am very happy to join this contest. Today I will bring to everyone a design called " The Winter Witch".
I really love winter, I love all things relate to winter like snow, white and blue color, snow white furs ... etc .. And my second favorite when I play any MMORPG games, it's Witch class. Because of that, I have put my dream into this design, I hope you will like it and help me make it come true. Thank you all!
Name of the design: ❄ THE WINTER WITCH ❄
I put all description in the image. Below is the name of items
Female Set:
- Hat: The Winter Witch Hat (F)
- Overall: The Winter Witch Robe (F)
- Cape: The Winter Witch Cape
- Gloves: Sound of Winter
- Shoes: Shoes of Winter
- Weapon: The Winter Branch
- Rings: Winter Witch Label and Chat Ring
Male Set:
- Hat: The Winter Witch Hat (M)
- Overall: The Winter Witch Robe (M)
- Cape: The Winter Witch Cape
- Gloves: Sound of Winter
- Shoes: Shoes of Winter

Set effect: After wear all items in this set except Rings, a winter effect will appear with snowflakes fly up
Last and indispensable, I would like to thank the Nexon team for creating this game, a game that has made a deep impression on my childhood.
I hope you enjoyed this design, thanks very much!

No stealing from other IPs but there's nothing in the rules about stealing from Nexon themselves :^)
The hat and gloves would be animated like fire but that kind of animation is far too complex for me.
If this does happen to be picked, I'm hoping the Mastema sprite would be re-used from the pet. Tiny Mastema is so adorable.
There's no cape because I don't want it to overwrite Demon's natural wings.

World - NA Reboot
Name of design - Wishcandy Tiger
Equipment Pieces -
Wishcandy Tiger Hair (unisex item, the stars and dots on it sparkle from pink to white)
Wishcandy Tiger Outfit (unisex item, the stars and dots on it sparkle from pink to white, the tail, and scarf are all a part of the overall)
Wishcandy Tiger Wishing Rod (the top is a star with wishcandy dangling off of it, the sparkles alternate pink and blue, and the little tiger hunts for candy when you attack, and jumps when you jump, and nibbles candy when you're prone)
Wishcandy Tiger Socks (unisex item, there are star and dot sparkles on them)
Note - I did not want to make any of the outfit a cape because I like the idea of adding wings separate from the outfit set, and the socks are separate because of the same reason.

The Corgi Outfit! (unisex)
Hat: The Corgi Hat
Overall: The Chubby Corgi Zip-up
Cape: The Fluffy Tail
Shoes: The Corgi Anklet
Weapon: The Floating Corgi Companion
I love corgis and Maplestory—why not combine the two? This contest has given me to chance to do just that and I am in LOVE. I wanted to design something causal, but also recognizable to corgi features/characteristics. Rather than a full-on dog costume, I wanted to transform the shape and colors of a corgi into an everyday-wearable outfit. Everyone who adores corgis KNOWS that their fluffy behind is what makes them so cute. I wanted to incorporate that into the hat and make that the front of the hat rather than the back. The grey choker that comes with the zip-up is a play on an actual collar that a corgi would wear. Corgis are usually shoe-less, so I decided on an anklet in place of shoes for this outfit. The weapon is a cute little floating corgi; the companion you’ve been looking for!
Side note: For the jump/ weapon effect, I do not intend for the black color to be there. It is just there to visually help you see the effect more clearly (:
I had so much fun designing this, and I hope this gives you a little bit of corgi happiness as well! Thank you Maplestory for hosting this amazing contest!!

An homage to this strange time we're all living in where our worlds of work and at-home comfort collide.
This set is dedicated to everyone who drags themselves out of bed and puts on their comfiest clothes that can double down as a semi-work appropriate outfit. Fitted with a loose overall flannel, loose socks, trusty maple buds and of course a morning cup of joe, this outfit is sure to get you through the day. (Want to take a closer look? Click Here)

Item Details
Lazy Oversized Flannel (Overall) - A unisex overall with a plain white shirt underneath. The flannel is slightly off-the-shoulder because, well, we're lazy.
Lazy Loose sock (Shoes) - A pair of socks that you definitely woke up in. Loose, lazy, and extremely comfy.
Misplaced Glasses (Hat) - At-home glasses that never leave the house. We've all had those moments where we forgot them on our heads, thus making this item a hat and not an eye accessory.
Morning Joe (Weapon) - Our favourite cup of coffee to get us through the first few minutes of the days. Weapon animation not shown but can be added (example animation: coffee spilling out)
Maple Buds (Earrings) - Meetings, meetings, meetings. Stay in touch with your virtual colleagues (and Maple friends) with these ear buds.
Online Status (Cape) - A floating avatar of your character with a status dot that changes colours depending on what your character is doing. Standing still = green (Available), moving around = orange (BRB), sitting = red (Busy).
I've never drawn in a pixelated/digital style before but I LOVED creating this. Hope you all enjoy it as well~

hat: baby fox bucket hat
weapon: baby fox plush - please let the doll plop on the floor when sitting LOL and the effects paw prints grow/shrink in sizes as the character breathes, a flurry of snow/sparkles when swinging but not too overdone to obscure what you're attacking
shoe: baby fox bell - the henesys #teamnoshoes vibe, almost goes unnoticeable, and leaves a trail of floating snow, sparkle, or soft white music notes, evaporating through time
overall: fox love overall
face: fox love mask
eye accessory: exclusive spectacles (touched up politician glasses... iconic since time but I feel has been abandoned nowadays, would love to see these come back as Round Glasses' sibling)
ear accessory: exclusive helix cuff threader
gloves: exclusive engraved tag
cape: exclusive crossbody bag
ring: exclusive engraved chat ring
ring: exclusive engraved label ring
every single pixel was scrutinized and carefully placed... crazy but at the same time, I had a lot of fun! Always wanted an adorable full white set with many flexible value pieces for countless outfits, I hope you guys like it too! I hope the image isn't too small... good luck to all fellow contestants!

Outfit name: Horizon Chaser
Gender: Unisex
Additional info:
Hat: Has emotes for several actions such as attacking, sitting, etc... similar to some other head covers.
Top: The fishnet part on the arm is part of the top and not the glove.
Bottom: The fishnet part on the leg is part of the bottom and not the shoes.
Shoes: They leave a trail of small 80's inspired shapes.
Effect: I was either thinking of having it hover slightly behind the player or have it as a big background effect. I intended to have the edges of the effect fade (like a cloud kinda) but it was hard to see on the picture below, therefore the hard edges.

Hello everyone!
This is my very first design contest and I am unfamiliar with drawing sprites so it may not look right, but I'm still super excited to share what I came up with!
The Goldfish Outfit! Below are further details pertaining to each part of the outfit. I hope my illustration and descriptions will work together to get my idea across.
Goldfish Outfit Set:
Goldfish Overall (Male/Female):
The overalls are the only piece in this outfit that is gender specific. The female overall has a skirt that resembles a goldfish tail, while the male overall has shorts that flare out meant to look like fins.
Goldfish Gloves (Unisex):
The gloves of the outfit are actually just the sleeves, but when worn together with the overalls it will look like one entire piece.
Goldfish Shoes (Unisex):
As for the shoes, they are actually a blue glowy aura under the character's feet meant to look like water. When the player walks, they will leave small golden glows in the water, kind of like footprints being left behind. When the shoes are equipped they also make the character float slightly up and down, to help illustrate the effect of standing on water.
Goldfish Cape (Unisex):
The cape for this outfit is meant to almost look like wings, but also the tail of a goldfish. And although I wasn't able to draw it, the idea was to have them constantly flow and flutter behind the character whether they are moving or not to give it a more ethereal and elegant look.
Goldfish Hat (Unisex):
The hat is actually three golden glows positioned like a headband on the character's head; with the middle one being the biggest, the right one being medium sized, and the left one being the smallest. As the character walks it will also leave a tiny trail of glows behind.
Goldfish Weapon:
The weapon is a small goldfish that will be floating next to the player at all times. What I imagined was for it to have small glows and bodies of water circulating around it naturally when the player is not in combat. When the player attacks, more water will splash out along with bigger golden glows. I've also thought about the jump animation for this weapon and the idea is to have the character enveloped in a large splash of water, while the goldfish will appear to look like it is making a curved jump out of water.
Thank you for taking the time to look through my design, I hope you liked it! I definitely enjoyed seeing what everyone came up with! Good luck!
