Zero Worm Drawing Contest 5

[Zero72]

Smoligans, 2007's already half over. I'll be old before I even know it. Guess I better fire up the 5th annual -- yeah, I've really been around for this long, and I can name several who've been around longer -- Zero Worm Drawing Contest. You know the drill: Draw Zero Worm. Draw him scaling a big ol' mountain in order to claim Excalibur, or skydiving and fighting against the Devil on the way down, or making pottery, or belching, or really whatever you want, so long as you think it's cool.

As always, here are the rules you'd better follow or else.

1. One entry per contestant. If you decide you don't like your entry, you can withdraw it and do a new one if you like.
2. Any medium is accepted, except for animations -- still images only, please. Allowing animations would unbalance the competition pretty dramatically.
3. You can make it whatever size you want, but make it quickly viewable in this thread -- attach it directly to your post if that works for you, use img tags if it's small enough, img in a smaller version if it's too big.
4. Be tasteful on whatever gore you decide to include. I think it was year 2 or 3 where half the entries had red spraypaint plastered all over the place. It gets tiresome.
5. You all know that I'm a lazy jerk who hates such things as commitment and organization, so as always, the competition will close for entries whenever they stop coming in. Let us know if you have something in the pipeline, and I'll probably wait up for you. Afterwards, I'll pick out 10 finalists, who will be added to a poll to decide the final winner, and runners-up if that's your sort of thing.
6. Golden Rule: Don't take this too seriously; It's meant to be fun!

The winner will reciiieeeve... know what? I keep offering prizes and not coming up with anything. Chances to be in the old Zero Comics, trophies, etc... I might as well not really offer a prize, because I hardly ever deliver. If you're a winner or a runner-up, you'll gain the IMMENSE prestiege at having won or almost won the 5th Zero Worm Drawing Contest, and I'll probably take any possible requests for/about the Forum Comic a bit more seriously. You get my drift.

Make it so!

[MtlAngelus]

Excellent. Now I can kill 2 birds in one shot. :P
Edit: Make that 3 perhaps.
Edit2: Or 4.

[yauhui]

just draw a trophy which is small enough to be set as an avatar.

make that a grand prize. maybe a gold, silver, bronze. and runner-ups get little tokens.

[McMaster]

OK, here's my entry, with the Excalibur, just you said, drawn in MS Paint. Sorry if I can't draw your hat well, but for me it's too difficult! If you don't know what are these green things in the backround, they are trees and grass. I linked it because my entry is big (800x600 pixels)!

Edit : Updated my entry.
Edit 2 : Added eyebrows.
Edit 3 : Made the hat better.

[Cisken1]

You win MCmaster

YAY here we go again!

I'll TRY to enter, can't promise, blahblah, gorilla, tree, banana, yeah...

[_Kilburn]

OK, here's my entry, with the Excalibur

You gave me a very stupid idea, thanks. :p

[McMaster]

You gave me a very stupid idea, thanks. :p

Stupid idea? I'm really looking forward to the entry you'll make! Mysterious entry... go _Kilburn! Show us your ideas!

Oh, I also added shading, shadows and more details to my entry, to have more detail. I don't add shading and shadows to my art, so this is my first entry with shading and shadows!

[philby4000]

There's pretty much no chance that I'm not entering this.

[wormthingy]

Ok I'm so bored I'm actually going to enter this.

*tries* darn. *trash-bin'd*
*tries again* what the.. *thrash-bin'd*
*tries again* GAH! dump the bloody helmet already.


Though theres a bigger chance this is the last time you'll ever hear from me in this thread.

Or the whole forum. (thank you gingerpeck :( )

[Pigbuster]

Dammit, now I have to draw something.

I hope you're happy. :mad:

[Cisken1]

Note that this is a WORK IN PROGRESS

*image removed due lack of SHADING and coolness, check below for newer version!*

[Zero72]

I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with that one so far. Imaginative.

[yauhui]

thats more like halo than zero.

[mikhail6g]

Yau Hui, you took the words right out of my mouth...

[Kelster23]

I actually have an idea for mine. Wether or not I get it up on here is a different story.

[Cisken1]

I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with that one so far. Imaginative.

YAY! I impressed Zero! *happy dance*

Hm, so my CyberZero makes you think of Halo... cewl.

Maybe I'll ajust the background I'm drawing him in then... :D

Updates: shadow added, uh and that's about it!

[yauhui]

So Cooooool

[Alien King]

Subscription!

Also, nice work Cisken, keep going.


I'll probably have a go at this myself... if I feel motivated that is.

[Cisken1]

Thanks AK!

It's been ages since I had time to enter, I'm really feeling like putting a LOT of effort in this.

Fixed some mistakes on his right hand now but I can't be bothered to upload again, besides, it's not see-worthy anyway...

[Zero72]

That's definitely starting to look really nice.

[SupSuper]

Oh you can bet your sweet baloney I'll be entering this, like every year.

[Paul.Power]

Oh you can bet your sweet baloney I'll be entering this, like every year.As will I, once I think up yet another joke based on the mirth-inducing principle of no action whatsoever.

[Cisken1]

[McMaster]

Oh, yes, now I've understood!

Worms number : zero!

[Cisken1]

STOP QUOTING IMAGES!!!! :mad:

Thank you very much!

*edit* Helooooo? So quiet in here!

[Gardy Looo]

AARGH. That is rather awesome, Cisken. I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO DRAW A BETTER BATTULSUIT THAN YOURS.

Don't expect a fast entry from me.

EDIT: Well looky here, I'm done.

Hmm, a new trend. :p

Pretty nice.

[Paul.Power]

I'll be sure to break the trend when I get the chance.

EDIT: Just because it's an old joke I've done to death twice, doesn't mean I can't do it to death a third time. Guest starring my dA entry for Skin a Scion, "Graffic Traffic"ed up:

[yauhui]

LOL thats a cute car. i'll like one.

[wormthingy]

Oh, yes, now I've understood!

Worms number : zero!

I am not gonna reply tot that. I am not gonna reply to that. I am not gonna reply tot hat. I am not gonna reply to that. I am not gonna reply tot hat. I am not gonna reply to that. Phew. ok :)

Looks like an Old Yamaha R1. Good job.

I didn't get it the first time, and I still don't get it now.

Edit: Phew! Liketysplitt just saved me from a double-post there.

[Paul.Power]

I didn't get it the first time, and I still don't get it now.

Rearrange the following letters:

Keep up the good work, Cisken.

[yauhui]

real nice work coming down through the sewage pipeline, eh?

[tal05]

how do u do it cisken? it being the bike

[wormthingy]

how do u do it cisken? it being the bike

Look at his dA page, ask him for some of his older work. You'll notice he is "teh man" when it comes to vehicles, cars mostly.

Cisken, is it me or is the right mirror a bit down today? :p

[Gardy Looo]

AARGH. I'll get you, Cisken.
*thinks of what to do to compete with Cisken's entry*

[Cisken1]

You, sir, are WRAUNG, it's based of multiple bike shots I just studied the lay out of fairly recent bikes. But thanks anyway!

how do u do it cisken? it being the bike

See above, and I use the line tool to get nice smooth curves.

Cisken, is it me or is the right mirror a bit down today? :p

Thanks, but I'm not "teh man" tough, there are way better artists than me!

And yes, that mirror does seem a bit off... I guess I used the wrong perspective...

[Alien King]

I've got a fairly basic idea... but it requires effort.

[Liketyspli]

I'm not WRAUNG, I said it LOOKS LIKE an old Yamaha R1.

Also, I feel you really coulda done more with the swords.

AWESOME!!!

You should. period.

[Zero72]

Ideally, you could have two different attack buttons corresponding to the two blades, and pressing them in different sequences would result in various different move combinations for ultimate Zero dual-bladed future-suity asskickery.

Or something.

[Cisken1]

AWESOME!!!111!!!!!!!1!!111!!!LOl!!!!!ELEVAN1111!!!

Thanks yo!

Yeah I kinda rushed the background because I wanted it done. And drawing Zero's sword proves to be VERY difficult, besides I like it better w/o the "fire effect" on the sword(s)

MAYBE, just maybe I'll update it some more. MAYBE!

You should. period.

Only if I can find some help form a kickass flash-designer (pigbuster? hm? hm?)

Did you hack into my mind? I was thinking just about the same thing! I also would include a level or levels where you ride your floatbikethingie.

Will you help me with the story and can I use your ground zero characters?

Time to add you to my msn methinks...

[tal05]

No.

Mabye, but you hadn't even put in a 'shine', light-blur sorta effect from them. Speaking of which, why is the ground the only thing that's showing the light from the swords anyway? It sorta looks like they have some sort of green shadow...

[Cisken1]

there are highlights on Zero's suit and helmet too, you just don't see them too clearly because it's a GLOW maybe?

[philby4000]

I'm not sure what the hell you're talking about, but you sure sound condesending.

What does "condesending" mean? Nevermind

I'm sorry if I do but Plasma hates me :(

[Pigbuster]

that isnt a sword but a light saber.

Light Saber.
Saber = Kind of sword.
Light Sword.
Light Saber = Sword.

SCIENCE.

Everything has a copyright the moment you make it. You don't have to get it.
Though you can get an official copyright that'll hold up well in court. That costs money, though.

Sword /sɔrd, soʊrd/ - Spelled Pronunciation --> [sawrd, sohrd]
–noun

A weapon having various forms but consisting typically of a long, straight or slightly curved blade, sharp-edged on one or both sides, with one end pointed and the other fixed in a hilt or handle.

Light Saber [encyclopedia]
-noun

The lightsaber is the name of a weapon that plays a key role in the movies, games and novels that constitute the Star Wars universe. Lightsabers are science fiction versions of their namesake, the saber, but with the metal blade replaced by something resembling a solid bar or cylindrical beam of light about one meter long. Lightsabers differ in color (red, blue, green and purple have appeared in the six films, and other colors appear in the Expanded Universe). Though they often behave like regular swords, they have been depicted as able to penetrate and cut through most matter with little or no resistance, and to deflect shots from blasters, the ranged weapons used in the Star Wars franchise. Obi-Wan Kenobi described them as "an elegant weapon for a more civilized age."

[Pigbuster]

Sword /sɔrd, soʊrd/ - Spelled Pronunciation --> [sawrd, sohrd]
–noun

A weapon having various forms

A light saber can be interpreted as one of these forms.

Lightsabers are science fiction versions of their namesake, the saber

Something that is a specific version of a sword is a sword.

It's generally better and more specific to say "light saber" instead of swords because light sabers are a type of sword (Like how a rapier should be called a rapier), but it's still a dumb thing to argue about.

And they aren't light sabers, anyway. They're Z-Sabers. :p

[yauhui]

thats a saber. more like a laser sword.

and i think various forms mean stone, metal.

[tal05]

.....
this is a very pointless arguement you know that?

[Liketyspli]

Saber = a light fencing sword with a tapering blade.Sooo, what does this mean?

[Zero72]

Nobody cares. Stop filling the contest thread with this bilge, please.

[philby4000]

I know I should just drop this, but
thats a saber. more like a laser sword.
and i think various forms mean stone, metal.
What mysterious stone swords are you talking about?

[Pigbuster]

Cavemen weapons, perhaps?

Now this conversation should probably end.

And by "probably end" I mean "stop talking about this or I'll report you". :p

[Alien King]

Cavemen weapons, perhaps?

Nah, they used Axes made of Flint and other hard stones.

Anyway... I might draw something for this contest... although I've lost whatever ideas I may have had.


And that's a nice entry, Cisken.

[Paul.Power]

Hang about, I thought Zeor called it a beam sword anyway.

[Alien King]

Hang about, I thought Zeor called it a beam sword anyway.

Well... we could talk about what it's a beam of...

[Pigbuster]

We could also talk about fine, crispy bacon.

But let's not.

[Cisken1]

Any more entries or what?

Also, yes, let's talk about crispy bacon!

[Pigbuster]

Any more entries or what?

Forsooth! I oft be planning a painting.

All I have to do is begin to paint it.

Which I am finding quite difficult right now, most unfortunately.

[Alien King]

Any more entries or what?

Also, yes, let's talk about crispy bacon!

I do intend on doing an entry, but I need to be in the right frame of mind... which I'm not at the moment.

Also, I do not like my bacon too crispy.

[yauhui]

i like bacons hot and fatty.

[Zero72]

Idea: Why don't we try to minimalize off-topic mind vomit in this thread entirely? Especially when it's not even held up by anything on-topic? Failing that, I could always start mashing Report buttons. I should probably be doing that instead of posting this, as a matter of fact, but...

[robowurmz]

"Various Forms" of swords means things like;
LongSword, BroadSword, Double-Edged Sword, ButterFly Sword, Scmitar, SABER and others.

Ah yes, and my entry will be... him scaling a big ol' mountain in order to claim Excalibur, skydiving and fighting against the Devil on the way down, making pottery, and belching all at the same time.

EDIT: YAY, MY 500th POST!

Er, are you aware that to make an entry, you have to sorta, y'know, make it; and not just list off what you'd like to draw if you were able to do so without effort.

@Plasma:
I was saying what I'm going to draw. And I will.

If you DO I lose...

It's the taking part that counts.

I might get a chance to do something for this... don't wait up on me though. :p

[Cisken1]

It's the taking part that counts.

Yeah but for ONCE in my life I can WIN something UTTERLY USELESS!!!

[Melon]

I guess I coud use this as an excuse to draw something. If I come up with an idea, I'll draw something. Don't wait up.

[shadowman]

I don't really care if I'm late or not.
I just wanted to draw Zero.

*vacant stare*

[Plasma]

Is there any reason you seem to like drawing your worms at an angle?

[Star Worms]

The shadows look a bit wrong on that - sometimes they're on top and sometimes on the bottom.

Also, it reminds me of what my hair looked like before I finally got it cut, earlier today (having left it since Easter).

[shadowman]

You're right. The shadows are off.
And for some reason, since I can't "Turn my paper" on the computer, I fund it easier to draw my characters at an angle on the GIMP.

Yes, with paper, I turn the sheet and draw crooked. It ends up straight when I put the paper upright.:p

Just making sure, because the entry was at the end of a page in a deep dark corner.
So far, Cisken gets my vote, unless PB can whip up something great.

Ahaha, not too shabby, although you've gotten the context of Slick's original drawing all wrong. :p The effects look fairly nice. Background is nice, too.

[Plasma]

OMIGOD AKUS BACKdrawing is fairly good, but the tail needs to be improved.

[Cisken1]

Indeedy, very nice work, I like the "glows".

Oh and nevermind Plasma, the tail is fine!

[shadowman]

I can tell alot of work was put into that pic, but the tail just seems a little too tall. The perspective rules. What program did you use, anyways?

[SupSuper]

and the program is FireWorks MX

However, I've decided that I'm not actually going to enter my entry into this competition. The main reason is because I realised that it actually has very little to do with Zero at all, so it'd be a bit stupid entering it into a Zero competition. (Yet, he's still a major part of it. Confused?)

So there. Just so you're not waiting on my entry.

[yauhui]

owghh.. i'm sure it looks good. upload it sumwhere and giv us the link! ;)

Show it anyway dude, I like your art!

[Melon]

Of course I'll show it, but in my art thread, when it's done.

[Cisken1]

soooo is this still running???

[Pigbuster]

Seeing as he hasn't said it has been closed yet, yes.

Damn, I'm going to college on Monday. Maybe I better finish this before I have to focus on actual art. :(

[Zero72]

Yyyep, entries have been coming in pretty slowly... :-/

[philby4000]

Sorry, lack of time.

I'll try to make my unreasonably ambitious entry a priority over all the other stuff I'm horribly behind on.

[Cisken1]

I can't wait! ^^

seems like the theme was set to "cybersuit'ed" :p

[yauhui]

I'll be making my entry once i get my PC repaired.

This will be a whole lot tougher than drawing shadowman.....

[Paul.Power]

I can't wait! ^^

seems like the theme was set to "cybersuit'ed" :pExcept when introducing Zeor to his new, Graffic Traffic'd car.

[Cisken1]

oh of course :p

[Paul.Power]

Really, Scion should be pleased with my generous bit of product placement.

I mean, think about the amounts of money companies spend to get product placement in Bond movies...

[Cisken1]

That's insane! Just look for the price Ford payed for their new car to appear in 'Casino Royale' !

[Zero72]

I'm already raking in massive buxx for the placement of AMP™ into TIZ72MSPFC*.

*not dead, by the way

[Xinos]

I did this for the emote thread, but I'll submit it too your little contest
http://www.planet-eggplant.com/xinos/worm_gifs/Zero.gif

[Plasma]

Is... is that supposed to be Zero's helmet?

[Zero72]

Nope, it's supposed to be a trout! :D

Seriously though, it's actually pretty neat. Details are off and shading is a little odd, but still pretty neat.

[Xinos]

Picky picky =P

Ok, i added the blue plate and the gray bolt, aswell as made the helmet more pointy at the front. Better now?

[Plasma]

That's a lot better than the last one!

But there's still one thing: why does the helmet have a green visor?

[Xinos]

Well, what color did you expect the visor to have? :p
No, it just looks cooler than the regular eyes. I have seen plenty of pics of Zero's sigworm where the green visor is on there. Fine, the critiques are alwase right as they say.

Here's a version without the visor for you BORING folk. http://www.planet-eggplant.com/xinos/worm_gifs/Zero.gif http://www.planet-eggplant.com/xinos/worm_gifs/Zero2.gif

No, it's still there. Keep it though, it looks good.

[Zero72]

Nicely improved. I like it/them.

The visor could just be a trendy pair of shades. :)

[Xinos]

No, it's still there. Keep it though, it looks good.

I think you need to clear out your cached images..

[Alien King]

I think you need to clear out your cached images..

Probably. Turned my computer on this morning and the image is correct.

[MtlAngelus]

Is this not over yet? Good. Here's my entry. :p
>CLICK< (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=612093&postcount=116)

[Zero72]

I was actually just about to bump this tonight myself.

I really like that a lot. Something about the overall style and colors is really appealing, and the sabers look excellent.

[Slick]

Oh what the hell.
*enters*

It's a bit of a quick-doodle really. But, I thought I'd give tribute to Ground Zero this time.

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7914/scan0006ne0.jpg

Meh, it's something.

[Alien King]

Dammit. Both those entries are made of Win.

[Star Worms]

Your "quick doodle" is better than something I could do in my entire life.

[Pigbuster]

AGaga SLICK GOOD lalaga.

I really wish I could finish my entry, but I feel like I just lake the innovation.
I ought to do SOMEthing...

[Alien King]

Damn I wish I had the motivation to overcome my immense laziness.

[Slick]

AGaga SLICK BAD lalaga.

Can I go swimming in your innovation, Pig Buster? :mad:

[Pigbuster]

Yes you can.

And I meant to say motivation, too. :p

[Paul.Power]

[Melon]

*Sees Slick's entry*

*Jaw hits floor*

Anyway Slick, how do you get your pencil drawings to scan in properly? I think my scanner's too bright, but no matter how I try to mess with the brightness and contrast, it never comes out right.

[_Kilburn]

I just lake the innovation.

Damn I wish I had the motivation to overcome my immense laziness.

It seems that I'm not the only one here. :(

[Paul.Power]

I just know for a fact that my style of drawing worms would be entirely inappropriate for drawing action, so I stick with what I know.

[farazparsa]

I sense a trap forum war coming up...

[Zero72]

ProtoWorm looks incredible. So does... well, everything. I'm loving it. Whether you want me to or not! :mad:I sense a trap forum war coming up......What?

[Akuryou13]

...What?honestly, do you REALLY want to know? :p

lol everything you draw is a "quick-doodle"/"Quicky doodlie doo" etc...etc

[Plasma]

...What?
Faraz has a newly-developed tendancy to make posts that have absolutely nothing got to do with any other posts in the thread.

[Slick]

lol everything you draw is a "quick-doodle"/"Quicky doodlie doo" etc...etc

This is because of everyone else really. I don't like drawing worms very much anymore, and if I spend more than say, an hour, on something for the forums... it will either be ignored by everyone with the exception of few (usually 2) people. And if I ever get comments on something I've spent time on, the comments get off-topic within 2-3 posts, and a stupid conversation/argument takes its place. (see any of my art threads)
So thats why mostly everything I do is a 'quickie'. It's because nobody ever really showed they gave a damn about my stuff. :p
So I ain't wasting my time on this place anymore. The only reason, in fact, that I did enter this... was to at least do something for Zero. Thats it. I couldn't give a rats ass if I win or not, and I didn't do it for praise.

End OF RAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNT

[farazparsa]

Faraz has a newly-developed tendancy to make posts that have absolutely nothing got to do with any other posts in the thread.
You'll see. You will ALL see!

Anyway, I would enter, but I'm more interested in where this thread will go at it's current state. It's a close competition, and I'll probably be just dead weight if I entered.

[yauhui]

when will this contest end?

[Akuryou13]

when will this contest end?when time itsself has died of old age and passed its duties onto its offspring. Chuck. and for the rest of Chuck the world shall know who was the greatest artist of all Chuck!

[Pigbuster]

when will this contest end?
When there are enough good entries made by good artists.

Seeing as every single "art god" has left the forum now, Aku's description is rather apt. :p

[Zero72]

when will this contest end?I think my mind keeps emitting, like, low-level telepathy waves that people occasionally pick up. I was pretty much gonna post the last call here tonight -- one last check to see who's still working on something, who was going to work on something but doesn't feel like bothering, etc. If you have a work in progress or would still like to enter, I can wait as long as you need, but if nobody else is gonna add anything, I'll wrap it up at like the end of the week or something.

[yauhui]

owh...............

Here's a try: The Hunchback of Zeortopia~!

[Zero72]

I notice that part of my helmet and my left eye are transparent! Clearly, I am truly a horrible mutant! :eek:

[Liketyspli]

And your head is sticking out of your helmet, is it supposed to do that?

[Zero72]

I think that would be the hunch of my back.

[Pigbuster]

I think that would be the hunch of my back.

That sounds like a kind of "Spring in my step" phrase.

"You put the hunch in my back".

[SupSuper]

I have a hunch that I'll be back.

[philby4000]

I'd still like to enter, but it's not at all likely that I'll find the inspiration or the time before the year is out.

[Melon]

It's probably not a valid entry, but I'd like to enter this (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=606335&postcount=183) if I'm allowed.

Bear in mind that it was originally drawn for this very competition, but I changed my mind because Zero wasn't really that big a part in it. Now I'm changing my mind again.

[WormsMatt]

Just Did this today, tell me what you think of it.
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff290/MattWorms/WormMinigunArt.jpg

Is the cigar too much?

[Paul.Power]

Melon: Can't see it being a problem, although I'm not Zeor so I couldn't say for certain.

WormsMatt: That's pretty good. Not brilliant, but a lot better than many new artists.

[Metal Alex]

Does this one I did count? :p

[Zero72]

I never thought about entries submitted as comics spanning multiple actual images. ...Heck, I don't see why not, I suppose. Consider yourself in, and that's a very good entry, to boot.Just Did this today, tell me what you think of it. Well! Custom-colored minigun, sandbags, cigar... Intentionally or otherwise, this just screams Soldat to me, which is pretty awesome. It's a bit rough around the edges, but it's pretty nice in principle.Does this one I did count? Hm, don't see why not. :p

[WormsMatt]

Yeah, the sandbags didn't come out as expected, I'm pretty lazy when it comes to the backround. :(

[farazparsa]

It has some wierd kind of appeal. Nice. ;)

[Metal Alex]

Hm, don't see why not. :p

I was actually thinking about "standing a chance"

[Zero72]

Oh yeah, this. Umm... Tell you what, I'll close it on my birthday, November 19th. Plenty of time.

[Melon]

The way this is going, next year's annual Zero Worm contest will begin once this one is finally over.

[Pigbuster]

Seeing as I missed the monthly entry, let's see if I can put Zero Worm in the same place. :p

[yauhui]

umm... is your zero the one in the Megaman Zero (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Zero_mmz.jpg) games or the one in Megaman X (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Zero_mmx.jpg) games?

i'm inspired by zero in slick's dA.

Think. Think. Think. Look at Zero72's avatar. Think. Think. Look at the pictures you linked. Think. Think. Think. Think. Look at Zero72's avatar again. Think.
Okay, time's up. Can you give us an answer yet.

[yauhui]

:( i drew the zero from megaman zero! :(:(:(

http://thefreaks.deviantart.com/art/Worm-Strango3k-vs-Zero-68904558

yes i know the worm ruins the pic.

[MtlAngelus]

That has to be the single most horrible thing I have ever seen. X_X

[yauhui]

fact. yes i am bad in shading. and the worm, oh..

[Melon]

The Zero guy isn't so bad.

The worm is horrific.

[HuntaKilla]

Aahhaha. Eye-stabbing time :(

[Plasma]

fact. yes i am bad in shading. and the worm, oh..
The shading isn't too bad. But everything in that picture is horribly out of proportion!

[MtlAngelus]

The Zero guy isn't so bad.

The worm is horrific.
The Zero guy looks like one of those handicaped people with muscular disorders...

The shading isn't too bad. But everything in that picture is horribly out of proportion!
Actually, the shading is horrible too.
The worm looks like it stayed way too long on the tanning machine or something...

[Akuryou13]

holy god that is the most horrible travesty against art since Chasethehedgehog! :eek:

[SupSuper]

holy god that is the most horrible travesty against art since Chasethehedgehog! :eek:Nonsense!

He didn't use Paint.

[Akuryou13]

Nonsense!

He didn't use Paint.which is why it's not worse than chase's junk :p

[yauhui]

i used Pilot super grip 0.5mm 2B mechanical pencil :p

[poninja]

well i just did this :-/ http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o228/zecasnor/zero3.png

[Akuryou13]

well i just did this :-/ http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o228/zecasnor/zero3.pngI would prefer it if you hadn't.

the hilt looks more like a head crab than a weapon. the helmet looks like someone planted an explosive in his head and it exploded while he was walking through a daffy duck cartoon. his expression looks constipated or painful, or both. and I think someone forgot to kneed the bread his tail is made out of, cause it's really lumpy for no reason.

[yauhui]

and i wonder why the overbite/upper lip on your worms are SHARP.

[MtlAngelus]

Whenever I see poninja's "art" I allways see the worms as making this expression.
Except in this case there's teeth, but if you ignore the teeth it does looks kindof like this.:p

[yauhui]

it certainly looks like, but only that your drawing really is marvellous!

[Zero72]

Since the forums were down all weekend, I'll wait until the end of today -- which, for most of you, means tomorrow -- to close this to new entries. You shouldn't actually need more time, of course. :p

[HuntaKilla]

My entry...nyeees. BAM!

[Zero72]

I don't think I really need to elaborate much on what I think of that, particularly to HK herself, who has already recieved a lot of my input via awe-inspired MSN ramblings.

[MtlAngelus]

My entry...nyeees. BAM!
Damn you for poping in the last minute and snatching the first prize away. :( :D :( :cool:

[Paul.Power]

See, this is why I do comedy entries that I know won't win unless everyone is suddenly overcome by what one might term "the L-Block Spirit".

... dammit, if HK had returned a month earlier I could have got a snazzy avatar from her :mad: ;)

[yauhui]

dream about it :D

[Melon]

So let me get this straight HK, not only are you good at making art with pencils, pens, photoshop and watercolours, you're also good at Paint too!

Are.... are you real? Or just a figment of my imagination? I find it hard to believe someone so multi-talented can exist.

Well, the way I see it, people with genuine artistic talent find it easier to master new media.

Splapp and Slick, for example, have both produced excellent stuff in Paint in the past.

Actually, that's probably it. Did you ever notice how you never heard of her until only you came to this forum?
:p

[Zero72]

As of now, the contest is closed to new entries.

I'll have the poll up some time or another. Not tonight. I'm really tired.
