The January 2010 FArt Battle

That is...terrifying. And also hilarious.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!

Shia, you terrify me. And I love you for it.

I deem all entries thus far as qualifying =)

EDIT: FYI, Shia, I submitted your piece into the January FArt Competition gallery folder for the City of Heroes group. I believe you just need to approve this (should be in your messages on dA) before it will show up.

Shia ... all I can say is ...

/bow

That is just precious!

The "packages" make me think of the East German womens teams from some 30 years ago....I'm still not convinced some of those weren't "modified" guys.


Anyhoo, nice "tweak", Shia!



P.S. Told you all Mako was a chick!

1) Shia <3 your awesome

2) Shias happy so im happy and can care less about the contest again (I still think the rule is inane but have no reason to contest it anymore)

3)As for you Christopher Robin i'll post where I want when I want and If I have further complaints i'll indeed continue to post them here , im not sure where you got the idea that if you say something i'll be obliged to go along with it .

Errm, Deebs, I can tell this really stresses you out, maybe you should take a breather from the thread for a while? You're my bestest friend ever and I love ya lots (and I adore forum drama), but I think you may need a break for a bit.

bleh ...

maybe ...

fine ...

I'll take a breather for a few days and go play some Torchlight

<3 Shia

Good luck bro

**tries to catch breath**

**Gasps some more for air**

Excellent Work Shia!

**regaining composure**

I should not have checked this thread at work.

Holy ****, Shia knows where DB's off switch is!

Done and over. I don't think much good can come from keeping this up. We need to keep our well-earned rep as the best part of the forums!


I, for one, am looking forward to the art contest. Good luck to all the participants!

Foo spelled backwards is ooF.

To get this thread back on track here's my entry.

::EDIT::
Wow there's only 6 entries so far, come on people pick up the passe.

Good gosh...

Lucky panda.


come on people times a wasting.

Please, there is 23 hours left... Almost. I haven't even started my entry yet!

(actually I started 3 different times but they all ended up crumpled up and in the waste basket...)

I have been through atleast 3 wips. 1 of them was too complex to complete in the time allowed. the 2nd I liked too much to force it into the olympic catagory, the 3rd I dont like and now I am trying to get it together for a 4th crack at it.

Hmmm, just how much forcing would the one you like take? Considering that you don't have to show a specific event (or any event) I would think almost any pic could be adapted to the Olympic theme with just some background changes...

To people fighting? Show a building with the rings logo behind them and you have a qualifying pic of a hero preventing a villianous attack on the games...

Posed shot? Again, Olympic logo somewhere and they're doing guard duty...

Two hot chicks making out in the dark? A simple thought bubble from one ranking the other in terms of gold, silver or bronze and you probably qualify...

Ugly male hero sitting in a dirty stall of public toilet? Throw a sports illustrated at his feet with a hot chick on the cover doing an Olympic pose...

A woodchuck eating the entrails of a dead deer? Shame someone littered the forest with an olympic flier...

Seriously, it shouldn't be too hard to adapt anything to the theme since it's actually pretty wide open how you include the theme... If you still can't think of anyway to adapt it give me a sneak peek and I'll come up with something for ya


Then again, if it's a question of not wanting to disrupt the purity of an art to adapt it to fit... Well then, I got nuttin.

I can think of something easily that would fit the image in question, I just dont want to subtract from the image to force it into the olympics theme. I have another purpose for it.

but I think I have come up with idea 4...

heh, its none of the idea's you mentioned

this is going to be an all nighter...

Midnight Friday January 22... The thing I hate about using midnight as a deadline is that technically it is vague... Are we reffering to the midnight that ends the day of Thursday the 21st and begins the day of Friday the 22nd? Or are we meaning the midnight that signals the end of Friday the 22nd and the beginning of Saturday the 23rd??

Common usage would generally dictate that we are talking about the very ladt instant of Friday and not it's very first... But since the date (and thus the day) changes "at midnight" wouldn't friday's midnight really be the one that signals the end of Thursday?

As you can probably tell, I am very bored at work right now...

Anyway, artists have 18 hours and 35 minutes... Ok, ok 42 hours and 35 minutes left.... (I presume)

Midnight stopped meaning the middle of the night somewhere around the time people got watches and learned to tell time

Back when it did mean the middle of the night it was a variable time anyway since it meant midway between dusk and dawn... and that occured at different times depending on the season... So unless we're pulling out almanacs to check sunrise and sunset... Pfffffffffft!

The deadline in question is the midnight where in the Eastern time zone in the US, Friday becomes Saturday.

And my entry is coming along quite nicely. Should be able to meet the deadline no problem
