August Challenge: 'Fanatic'

OK we are down to the top 5 artists for the year in this FArt challenge. A bit of controversy throughout the year and i apologize if i havn't really ran the contest to everyones satisfaction. Truth is that i have a lot going on in my personal life and i have to make a concerted effort to get back here each month and do this. But it is fun for me so it's not really like work....most of the time

Anyways, from here on out i am going to open the game up to any and all characters within the City of Verse. Anything goes from forum characters to signature characters, from NPC's to contacts ingame, from heroes to villains and everything in between. That way we have a broader pallette for the imaginations of the remaining artists.


Overview: - This month i thought it would be fun to look into the lives of the fans. To see how fanatical they can get about their favorite hero or villain. To see how many posters, magazines, bumper stickers, signatures et cetera they would have in their living, working or playing environment. So thats the challenge. Try and show a fan being as fanatical as possible over a particular hero or villain. Could be a teenage kid with posters of Ms Liberty on his wall, watching her on TV while talking on a cell phone that has her picture on it and so on and so on.

Example - War Patriots biggest fan

Can be anything from a portrait to a scene, a comic strip to a bust but it has to be in color. Also remember that the other 6 artists have the same freedom you have!


Rules: What will get you disqualified this month?

NOTHING! THATS WHAT!!!!!!

Once again, this month and every month afterwards, you are available to use characters from the forum regulars and/or the multiple characters in the playerbase out there. Any character within the City of Verse is accepted from now on!



There will be no elimination's for this month. You are playing for immunity for the following month. So draw for fun!

There will be only one entry allowed per person, and it is due no later than August 26th at midnight PST.That gives you 22 days for the creative process. Voting will be held the following week. If there is no entry submitted or it is late, you automatically forfeit and lose your spot on the rankings board.

Some notes:

  • The winner(s) of August's challenge will carry immunity for next month provided they submit a piece for August.
  • Lousy_Day carries immunity this month provided he submits a piece for August



Please keep all your discussion and posting of pieces to this thread. The voting WILL BE ON ANOTHER THREAD.

Good luck guys,

-FArt Admin

I think this has to be my favorite idea yet.

Hm. Okay, I think I've got my concept in mind already.

'course, I got another piece to get done, first.

Goodness, LJ. Your signature banner's undergone more transformations/reinventions than Madonna and David Bowie combined.

Well at first I just wanted to have one, then it was "suggested" that the siggs be made smaller out of consideration. Then I saw your buttons, and tried variations on that, but I really liked Vivace's blended background. So I combined that with my City of Nuts character, and found a happy final... oh and then I had to center it. I only wish now I could make a 4 balloon linked one, but to do that would require some splicing and it would become too wide. I'd animate it, but then that would only annoy more people...

Yes I am a Gemini.

Very cool I like the end result
and it has 3 separate links in it (though they point to a similar place atm) and a clear background. Nice.
