The August 2010 Fan Art Battle

YES, BUT DO YOU HAVE IT IN FUSCHIA?

This month's theme is going to be rather tongue-in-cheek. Its August, college is starting back up in just a few weeks. Icon's had their fair share of interns. Lets just say... they REALLY need to get back in class!

For this month, I want you to picture the outcome of Icon's (and the Facemaker) getting interns that weren't quite up to snuff. Costumes fixed incorrectly, mixed up orders, those tricky decimal points getting put in the wrong place on those sizes... whatever your crazy brains can come up with.

You CAN use your own heroes/villains, but that might not be the best idea. The signature heroes/villains are much more recognizable, so mix-ups would be easier to read straight away.

As always, feel free to ask for any clarification.

THE RULES

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

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

3. Visual Fan Art Only- 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, SATURDAY AUGUST 28TH.

This sounds like it could be a really fun theme


"does my butt look big in this?"

"this barely covers me, how could it cost so much!"

Hmmmm ok I'm thinking Valkyrie goes to Icon and orders a brand new suit of custom battle armor
but instead winds up in a Micro-kini... or if your really unlucky Infernal does too.

*ahem* would be funny to show a recognizable COH or COV Sig character go in to update their look, and come out wearing WOW outfit.

I thought basically the same thing, though I thought "go in superhero, come out Tolkien Elf", so not exactly the same but in the same ballpark.

I have an interesting idea for this... if I get inspired enough you may just get to see something from me again this month. Purely for support/encouragement of course.

Any artz you do with *me* in them will qualify for the "hot chick" rule, Johnnykat!

Hey all. Just wanted to say thanks in regards to hosting this event every month Wassy, thanks to all the artist and to the players who followed and voted! It was fun to make it this far, but in light of recent RL events my available time to contribute to this just got whammied! So I unfortunately/fortunately (depends on the perspective lol) need to withdraw from this event and focus on some new exciting RL design/art opportunities that got "the go ahead" today!

Good luck on the following months guys - keep up the good work!

Ah, that's good to know. I was trying to think how I'd include that.

Thanks guys. I'll still be around to vote and probably comment even more here since comments only take a few minutes where my FArt submissions ended up taking me hours. Between wanting to shift that time to commission requests and my design company which is going through a growth phase at the moment, I just can't keep spending as much time as I have been to this in good conscience as well as fairness to my clients.

Oh fudge not another one.
Well sorry to see you go Jk, despite the occasional difference of opinion, you were clearly a worthy competitor.
I'm glad to see it is for a positive reason though. Good luck on your new endeavor.

Well this means we are down to 5 artists now and 5 more months left to duke it out.
Hey on a positive note... no more double elimination months.

Final 5 y'all wohoo!

P.S. If the FArt Mistress has no objections I'm going with my original post as my theme for the month.
Don't worry I'll make sure and cover the naughty bits... just barely.

Almost forgot to let you guys know... I'm taking a break from City (maybe permanently) and so I won't be around to update the FART thread in Player Events. Someone take up the banner! It's a good place to get more people in to vote.
