Look, let's be honest, Gryphline announced on October 13 that the publisher is teaming up with Naver Webtoon to host a secondary creation contest for Arknights: Endfield titled "Draw Right Now!". In what the publisher calls an effort to support diverse creative activities among players, this competition centers entirely around Arknights: Endfield. Submissions will remain open until 11:59 PM on November 8.

If you fancy joining in, simply head over to the event page within Naver Webtoon, select the participation option, and submit your work via the provided Google Form. The competition is split into three distinct categories: illustration, webtoon, and emoticon. Prizes will be awarded across all categories, with one gold prize winner taking home 2 million KRW, two silver prize winners receiving 1 million KRW each, and three bronze prize winners pocketing 300,000 KRW each. On top of that, ten encouraging prize recipients will get 30,000 KRW in Naver Pay points. Every single winner will also score an "Atelier Theme" merchandise set packed with an acrylic stand, an acrylic key ring, and a laser ticket.

An internal panel of judges will evaluate entries based on lore and character interpretation at 40%, overall polish at 30%, and sheer originality at 30%. For the webtoon category, the polish score factors in direction and composition skills, while the emoticon category weights originality based on usability and expressive variety. The results will drop sometime in November via the official Arknights: Endfield Lounge.

Meanwhile, to tie in with the contest, product placements are rolling out across three ongoing Naver Webtoon series: Surviving the Academy, Hero Killer, and Hiding My House in the Apocalypse. Promotional content drawn directly by the webtoon authors will appear at the bottom of these series until October 20. Plus, a social media sharing event is running throughout the contest period.
