No need to worry about that. I once made the mistake of nomming scented markers, thinking that they were *flavored* ones.|

(*rolls eyes*) Dear boy, you *cook* the macaroni first ... *then* put it on the scanner so it doesn't scratch the glass. |

Send it to me and I'll have Mr. Muttinz sit on it for you. It should be flat enough for you to scan then. |

(insert some very clever joke about only using edible paste here - and not that nasty brown fluid in the bottle with the slanted-top applicator!)
"NO DIGITAL ART IS ALLOWED" - this is going to be the most challenging month, ever. 
The smell of crayola wax and paste rises up from the deep, dark recesses of my memory. But I *think* I've got an idea.
What about chalk and charcoal? And since paint can be used with finger paints, for clarification, what about brushes?

I wonder if there's some current, very modern Kindergarten school that's got the kiddles using computers?
I happen to know A kindergarten teacher...
this is cool... and the future Mrs. Scooter is a 5th-6th grade teacher I can get the material free!!!!
Although I think CR is going to have a leg up on us...What?
I mean he's not made the digital transition yet and is better working on paper.

No brushes or charcoal, for the same reasons I'm not allowing marker (too easy to circumvent the point of the challenge). I DON'T want to see conte or artist grade pastels. Childrens' chalk is fine.. and I think it would be really cool if someone did a sidewalk chalk creation and submitted a photo of that!

(not complaining - I think we'll all manage quite fine. But it'll be a challenge!)
Ya, I don't know if anyone has a clear advantage for the month, which should be fun.
Someone color up a sidewalk.
I'd love to see someone try to run a sidewalk through a scanner....
Global is @Mellissandria
I don't have that much art, but I do write stories and I do collect art on
my DA account
I also would like to see that!
Okay, went out and bought my Crayons and Construction Paper!

I know, Viv (as I said take a photo of a chalk drawing), but scanning a sidewalk WOULD be pretty interesting! Way more than a photo ^.^
EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW, I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN
I'm very excited that April is here, because I've had this one up my sleeve for quite a while! This is our very first media-specific battle. For this month, your pieces all must hearken back to those innocent days of yore when we all could whole-heartedly pretend to be superheroes. ALL PIECES MUST BE DONE USING KINDERGARTEN-APPROPRIATE ART MATERIALS!
What I want to see this month are materials like crayon, finger-paints, glitter and glue, macaroni and glue, construction paper, etc. NO DIGITAL ART IS ALLOWED. I'm also not allowing marker because even though marker is used, it would be too easy to circumvent the point of the theme with them. Colored pencil is also off-limits, as is pencil and pen and ink. Please run your choices by me if you're at all unsure, and shout out some materials that might be fun that I've over-looked.
The actual subject is up to you, and you can go really dark and gory to make an interesting contrast between the subject and the material.
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 Only Approved Materials- If what you want to use isn't mentioned above, check to make sure its OK first!
5. Visual Fan Art Only- I think with the theme requirement this isn't a problem... but just in case, we're not taking writing, music, or interpretive dance submissions
DEADLINES
All entries must be posted to this thread or the dA group by MIDNIGHT US EASTERN TIME, FRIDAY APRIL 23RD. 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.
Get dirty!
