Turkey Lurkey

You could try Turkey Lurkey...all the cool kids are drawing him nowadays.

He's a MA/Regen Scrapper who's parents were tragically gunned down during a mugging after attending the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade when he was a child. He swore vengence on crime from that day forward. By wearing the Mantle of the Turkey, he strikes terror in the hearts of criminals everywhere, because they are a superstious, cowardly...yada yada yada...

He is the night.

He is the Dark Fowl.

He is Earth's Bestest Detective.

He is Turkey Lurkey!

Yes. Really.

Thanks for the Paragon Wonder info, should have something for you by next weekend. I'm glad you went with him, as I was thinking about how to draw Speedster, but I couldn't come up with a pose I liked. PW might open some creative doors for me. =)

Now, on to the nitty gritty.

I want to thank everyone who entered...all one of you.

That's right, we had a whopping one whole entry. So, those of you that thought you knew some of these should have entered, even if the answers were all wrong, I still would have taken two more of the entries.

But all that's beside the point.

STRIKING_SPEEDY with 25 points, is the winner! Everyone, bow down to him....NOW!

Speedy, you can collect your prize by either posting here with the info I ask for in the first post of this thread (except for the whole questions 3 thing), or you can send it to me via PM. Should have your piece done within the week.


Thanks,
TL

The contest is now closed.




Results to come.

My husband made me watch that one. It's really really really bad movie, but funny, and egads...

I'm scarred for life!

You don't want to know the next one he wants me to watch by the same people. I shudder when I hear the name.

[/ QUOTE ]

I know exactly the one you're talking about. It's not nearly as bad as you might think, but then again, it's certainly far from, say, a Disney classic.

Well, I was hoping this would be more of a movie trivia challenge rather than a test of everyone's search-fu, but what can you do? *sigh*

TURKEY LURKEY MOVIE QUOTE CONTEST FOR FREE ART EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

Okay, here's the deal. Below you'll find 25 movie quotes. Your job is to guess what movie they're from and who said it. Some are easy, some are hard. You get 1 point for guessing the correct movie and one point for guessing the character who said it (I will also accept the actor's name in lieu of the character's name. There's a possible 50 points total. The 3 people with the top scores will get free drawings from your's truly! In case of a tie, winners will be drawn out of a hat by an unbiased third party (my wife).

Send your answers to me via a PM (wouldn't want people to cheat off you, would you?).

DEADLINE IS FRIDAY THE 27th AT MIDNIGHT (central time)!

Winners will be announced on Saturday in this thread. You can hold off sending screenshots until then.



1. Life is pain, anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

2. We've got armadillos in our trousers, it's really quite frightening.

3. What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me.

4. I'm thirty-seven! I'm not old!

5. I do believe in spooks! I do believe in spooks! I do, I do, I do, I do believe in spooks!

6. Fools aren't born...pretty girls make them in their spare time.

7. Well, believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.

8. Would Monsiuer like to sniff the bottlecap?

9. Ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.

10. Ten thousand terrorists in the world and I've gotta kill the one with feet smaller than my sisters!

11. The sky is blue and all the leaves are green...the sun's as hot as a baked potato.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!

We also have one bonus quote. You guess the movie it's from, that's an extra 10 points. If you guess the actor/character, that's another 10! With the bonus, you could possiblely get 70 points! But I warn you, this one is a toughie!

BONUS: My cousin died in a snowstorm!



THE FINE PRINT: I know this is unfair to those who don't watch movies as much as others. Such is the nature of contests. I will have more contests at a future date they may be more favorable to your expertise. You don't necessarily need to get the movie title right to score points for character/actor. For those I've done art for already, you're welcome to play, but I'd prefer giving others a chance. You're always welcome to assist another or give your entry to someone else. Some of these quotes may be in multiple movies, however, I'm looking for particular movies, which may not be the movie you're thinking of. In such cases, my answer is the right one. Like I've said before, I'm a jerk like that.

SunGryphon (aka Phoenix_Serenity here on the boards) was the other winner in the screengrab contest.

Her prize is here.

I know this isn't Co* related, but it IS comic book related, and I love it so much I had to share:


So, brave forumers, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.


Enjoy!

TL

1) Turkey Lurkey, Natural MA/Regen Scrapper

2) Used to be Crane Kick, but I recently picked up Eagles Claw, and I been digging that.

3) CK - My foot + their face = short flight to K.O.'sville. EC - My foot + their face = I'm so fancy I make you dizzy.

4) Favorite - Arachnos and Skulls, Least Fave - CoT, Sky Raider Porters, and anybody on cave maps.


I don't expect to get in on this, I just wanted to get to my post count to 1300. However, TL would make and awesome Woodstock-esque character....just saying.



TL

I had one of those kiri-whatsits on my Dediant page, person who got a screen grab of my 1138th pageview got a colored drawing by your's truly. Our very own Sartori was one of the winners.

Here's his prize.


Enjoy!

I need some help from you wonderful, talented, handsome/beautiful people. Wow, have you lost weight? You really look nice in those jean/slacks/dress. That top really flatters you. Has anyone told you that you should audition for Idol with a voice like that? You're way better looking and smarter than (insert rival's name here).

Anyway, to the matter at hand. I have two questions that need answers, one of a technical nature, one of an (I guess) artistic/aesthetic nature....

Question the First: I want to get a decent screenshot now that I've slightly changed TL's costume, turned off the toggles, I've got no aura going, but still I'm left with sparklies and light spikes. I can only guess they're from new powers I've picked up recently (ie Safeguard Mish End & Health temp powers and the Atlas Medallion). Is there a way to turn of the visual effects for those inherent powers or am I stuck using the costume creator screen for decent screenies? I want to be rid of the sparklies darnitall!


Question the Second: You know how some heroes can be identified by a specific object or symbol? You see that object or something like it and immediately think of that particular character(Ie - Capt. America's shield, Wonder Woman's Lasso, etc) Well, for the heroes in Paragon, what would be their "symbols" be? I'm thinking along the lines of Dragonberry's scarf, TA's Nemesis Staff, Statesman's Mask.... Gimme some ideas. I have no particular reason for asking this.


Thanks in advance all of you super, wonderful, awesome people.
