October Challenge: 'Defeat'

Crunchtime is upon us FArt..sters?

After this month we will have our final 2 artists for the draw off in November. Congratulations are in order for the final 3 artists that have stuck with it and made it to this point. There will be no immunity awarded this month and one elimination. The only sure bet is that Toxic Shia will be one of the artists for next months finale. It's up to Foo and Apro to show us who battles him for the title. May the best FArtist win lol!


Overview: - The theme for the month is a hero or villain in defeat. I wanted to make this heroes only as it is so rare to see a signature hero in defeat. However i did say that from now on the field was open so i'll leave it to the artists. Take any hero or villain and show us the most imaginative way they could end up in defeat. Whether that has another character in it to show who defeated the fallen or clues left over the defeated, thats up to you. Be as creative as possible and make sure ya get on it early this month guys. Don't wanna run into an end of the month scenario this close to the finish line right?

Examples:
Wonder Woman defeated
Superman No More
Malibu Sally
Batman vs Bane Knightfall


Can be anything from a portrait to a scene, a comic strip to a bust and as always, remember the other artists have the same freedom and might go one step further. Give us your best and show us what ya got


Rules: What will get you disqualified this month?

NOTHING! THATS WHAT!!!!!!

Once again, 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.


There will be only one entry allowed per person, and it is due no later than October 26th at midnight PST. 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:

  • Toxic Shia carries immunity this month provided he submits a piece for October with his September win. This guarantees him a spot in the finale
  • There will be another elimination this month to get us down to 2 artists



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

Go get em guys and best of luck,

-FArt Admin

I was actually thinking that victory would be theme for the final too except it seems almost too obvious...

(If BOTH me and you could see it coming then it HAD to be obvious.)

Hm, this is an easy theme to slip in some kind of bondage...

Indeed, and if you pick the right characters you can kill two birds with one stone and do the "defeat" and "victory" in one picture. That's the smart way to do it people!

Another nice thing about bondage is that it signifies defeat without having somebody beat to a pulp, burned, cut, fried by laser blasts, etc.

I'm as big a fan of bondage as the next guy. Heck, bigger if the next guy is Father Mulcahy... But if I wanted to show defeat I'd be really tempted to just do a ruined landscape - Maybe a blasted Atlas Park - with someone like statesman standing off to the side with his head down. No need to have him beaten, bloody or even with torn clothes. I think just the fact that he failed to be there when he should have been... failed to prevent what he lived his life trying to prevent...

Anyway, it occurs to me that perhaps we should let the competitors come up with their own ideas

well to be fair.. if your gonna draw lots of naked women tied up.. then its only fair to have OTHER naked women standing over them, doing the tieing up...

equal rights and all that..

Another non violent option of showing utter defeat could be to have Statesman failing his GED test! Or backing into a fire extinguisher durring a driving test! When you can fly, I'd imagine a drivers license wouldnt be that important.

LOL like there's just one.

I think an epic defeat would be Thor's Assassin defeated by Carrot Top, but I don't want to go into more detail than that because it would obviously influence the remaining participants.

Fixed that for ya TA.



P.S. For those that don't know it was a show about a school teacher who saw an alien spaceship
in the desert and was given a red suit that gave him a ton of super powers but he promptly
lost the instruction manual and so he tries to figure it out through trial an error which
often backfires lol... If you liked the show check out the link.

Sidenote: The video has been pulled from youtube but I was able to track down another host that
has it... grab it while you can in case it gets pulled from there too.

For some reason that reminds me of the Burger King commercial with Tony Steward, Erica Estrada, and Carrot Top in it. It was the first time I saw Carrot Top since I heard he was on a body building kick.

Hulk Carrot Top!!!
