MARCH MADNESS


Mad as a hatter, that is! Yes, with the new movie coming out (though I'm still undecided if it looks good or not.... Helena Bonham Carter with a gigantic head is very terrifying) I thought that Alice in Wonderland would also be a great source of inspiration for our artists.

So for March you get to play with the classic tale. I don't care if you use the original writings, the old Disney movie, some Miyuki-chan (my personal favorite, natch), the NEW movie.... whatever one of the many incarnations. You can either juxtapose CoH elements into Wonderland, or bring Wonderland elements into Paragon. All types of visual art are acceptable.

I'm leaving the requirements pretty open this month. Try running wild with your freedom. The more whimsical the solution, the better it relates to the theme!

THE RULES

1. The Hot Chicks Rule- All entries must somehow include a hot chick!

2. Keep It Clean- All entries must be direct-linkable on the boards. If its worse than PG-13, you will be disqualified.

3. Use City of Heroes/Villains Elements- Your entry must somehow relate to City of Heroes/Villains either through character, setting, or some other means

4. Use Alice in Wonderland Elements- Other side of the coin, there must be some Alice in Wonderland something in there too!

5. Visual Fan Art Only- We had a fan fic entry for February, which was fine. But from here on out, all entries have to fall under visual art type categories

DEADLINES
All entries must be posted to this thread or the dA group by MIDNIGHT US EASTERN TIME, FRIDAY MARCH 26TH. Voting/the new theme will follow during that weekend. Its in the artists' best interest to get their pieces in early for feedback or in case there is a disqualifying element. Feel free to PM me with any questions or if you're unsure if something is within the rules.

It's a loverly day for a tea party!

Wow, Wassy mentioned Miyuki-chan. I have that book.

*goes to get it*

Now that we have a "Caemgen Rule" I'm going to have to see how else I can skirt my lack of talent!!

(Assuming, of course, I have a reason to do a March entry...)

How about an AE arc?

Hey, it's visual!

And by the way, Love love LOVE this month's theme. Hopefully I'm not duking it out with Caemgen for last place this month. Though I think I will do something for this whether or not I get ousted.

I'm quite the CLAMP fan. Its also a Wonderland full of hot lesbians. How could I resist?!

I call doctor Aeon as the Mad hatter!

I ... believe I have ... an ... IDEA

ooooooooooh, boy. Yep. Its a doozy, too.

This might work.
(provided, I don't get eliminated this month, that is)

HEY! Wassy! Have you figured out the hinted-at "win our way back in" rules, yet?

Whoever bribes me the best gets back in! =D

Do stories count as entries or is this just for art as in the visual kind?

Just curious.

This just means you need to work on your Hot Chick Stick Figures.

yeah, for some reason last month's didn't really catch me. After i saw Clutch's, I basically thought that that was the best hat could be done... and everything else paled in comparison.

Now, my mind's a brewin'


 

Posted

Scrolling past VexXxa's post I thought one of you overachievin' bastiches had submitted a finished piece for March already lol. *shakes fist anyways... just because*

P.S. Hey Clutch I'm still waiting on the chairman's official announcing of our theme this month.



One --> Artz Giveaway <-- To Rule Them ALL!


I will settle this. ORANGE FTW! - Ex Libris

Naw, I'll just sneak your photo into my entry somehow... ,)


 

Posted

This one's going to be tricky for me...

I have a couple possible ideas though *finishes reading current book to start reading Alice*


 

Posted

I'm picturing Mel as a meat doctor, Flo as a member of the Carnival and Vera as one of those citizens who is always running around in a panic, even after you've cleared the room.


 

Posted

I've started on my first idea. I'm not sure how well it's going to turn out though. And I'm also not sure how many people are going to jump on the mad tea party. We'll just see how it goes...

shoot - just missed it.

did anyone get to see it?
