BTW I love the idea of an art contest each month.

just to be clear, mine ,mindchambers, and stampers dont really count. you still have a fighting chance.

How long does it take you?

Its really nice and clean, but it looks so fucking long to make. I wonder how long it would take to ink an entire comicbook page like that.

i did everything in about a day, if you got a tablet and pressure sensitivity turned on, you can crank this shit out. you can go back later and smooth stuff out

But whatever, I'm not the one paying for the prizes, I should shut up.
Speaking of prizes, can mods win?

Or are we part of the staff?

Mods are eligible to win. Speaking of mods, myself, stamper and the rest of the staff will moderate this thread. If something gets deleted, we'll take the heat for it.

Oh shit, is this what you think it is? It sure as hell is.

For this round of the monthly Newgrounds "OFFICIAL" Art Contest, we're going a bit broader with the idea to entice those that aren't really into dicks...wait what.

The Rules: We're going all halloween on your ass this month, and its really simple - draw your favorite video game character as a zombie. Now, you're welcome to draw anybody you want, but if you're going the super obvious route with somebody like Mario or Master Chief it better be pretty fucking creative or you have no chance of winning. If you're 13 and don't know what an original "nintendo" is, I suggest you look up those 8-bit games for some character ideas. I'd hate to see 20 pages of shit xbox characters. Characters featured in games on newgrounds are also welcome.

What Not To Do: DO NOT post some 5 second drawing and some little comment about how it took you 5 seconds to draw it - it WILL be deleted. Most importantly, NO BLATANT TRACING. What does this mean? It means you are permitted to use any reference you want, even drawing the character roughly in the same pose. The part that will get you BANNED is tracing a drawing line for line and calling it your own. Yes, if we catch you, you will be banned and ridiculed. The art forum and these contests are meant for fun and to better your drawing skills. Tracing is for douchebags.

You are also welcome to submit as many entries as you want - but you can only win one prize per contest.

The prizes will be the same as last time:

1st: $100 + t-shirt
2nd: $75 + t-shirt
3rd: $50 + t-shirt
4th & 5th: $25 + t-shirt

5 more entries we like will also get shirts.

You have until the last day of october to post your entry.
November 1st, the winners will be announced and a new contest will begin.

That is all. GO GO GO.

Dude, no.

Don't go drawing manga/anime,

i agree. leave the anime to the japs that can actually draw it. it's the closest thing to cancer the art world has to deal with.

if i see one more anime guy with his head tilted down looking into the camera all badass (with spikey hair), I'm gonna sacrifice one of you to satan.

I could ALMOST SWEAR you posted that twice for no reason whatsoever.

I went a little more cerebral I guess and forgot about probably the biggest thing... the bursting quality.

for the record, I really liked yours

Congratulations guys.

dude, you've got some seriously impressive work..we've seen it in the forums. the only reason it wasnt higher was your concept, which was about the most obvious idea possible, it had nothing to do with the realism. we even thought you were drawing on top of a giger painting for a time, until we looked at your past work and saw you're actually THAT good.

ummm no i drew this picture , just for this contest, i drew two actually , one with the dick and one without. My alias is darkmanacloud on deviantart. And yes the coloring took 8 hours not lying.

the dick looks SO added on after the fact... I call shenanigans.

abcdefg

ive taken screenshots of all the notable submissions, and having reviewed em.. I think I know my personal 1st and 2nd place submissions so far. I need to consult with stamper and the others later today.

oh and I think alot of people blew mine away. there's some really great ones in there.

At 9/25/06 04:04 AM, HappilyNeverAfter wrote: Yeah, I saw some people's that were pretty good eg. Stamper, you.

Yeah too bad you guys can't enter >:U

it will be tough judging..I think instead of a first place, we may have a first, second and third.
stamper and I are sadly not allowed to win our own prize money.

if you girls still want to enter the chest bursters art contest, head over to the art forum and get posting. we're going to be judging in mere HOURS. you still have a chance to win some sweet, sweet cash.

yes, buying a tablet with pressure sensitivity is the way to go. id suggest one of the wacom models with a size of 6x8..or 6x11 if you have a widescreen monitor.

and optimizing lines in flash also cleans them up alot.

That is not true. Some believe becaue they actually CHOOSE. And some say they do because they are following a tradition. Don't generalize on an entire group of peoples beliefs because you don't believe in something.

and WHY do they choose? you need a reason. and "tradition" is the stupidest reason EVER to believe in or do something. GO PRAY TO YOUR GOD. NOBODY IS LISTENING.

I made a promise to myself a few months ago, if Sony do one more thing like this then i would convert back to Nintendo after all the years being a Sony man. So i guess if this rumour is true then i think i will buy a Wii, oh and by the way i love the Gran Turismo series so it was one of the games i was going to buy on the PS3, dosent seem that way anymore though.

i love how every miserable dick on the internet must spell doom and gloom for every god damn thing ever. all based on rumors a guy heard from another guy.

I don't know if you people have as hard a time understading the presence of God as I do. The concept that all human life is born from a parent is implanted in out brains from a young age. The fact that God was always just there is totaly beyond what I can understand.

Anyways, have any of you ever taken the time to think about this?

Probably not, but whatever.

"The concept that all human life is born from a parent is implanted in out brains from a young age. "
what?

One of the reasons is because Ipods are lame; you have to have a special Ipod battery, you need to actually pull appart the device in order to change it, it's packed with bugs (like the one that stops it from turning off), you can't simply unplug it from your system; you have to right-click and select that "safely remove hardware" thingy.

let me guess, you think they're lame because they're popular. secondly, you CAN turn it off by just fucking holding the play button down. THIRD, if you have auto-update on you DONT have to manually eject it.

The main reason for this dislike, however, is the fact that all these Apple fanatics go around all over the internet and boast about how good Mac-OSX are and worst of all how crap Windows is.

I think Windows pwns Apple in many ways. Firstly, the window's GUI is easier to use. While Apple Operating systems look generally better than Windows, I prefer practicality over looks in this case. Apple OSs are too fanastical to me, I prefer simple designs.

the main reason you hate osx is because apple fans say they hate windows? YOU ARE THE GOD DAMN STUPIDEST KID IVE EVER SEEN. and for the record, windows GUI is total garbage, sure osx isnt perfect..but jesus fucking christ do you have this argument backwards.

nigga, stop being so fucking ignorant.

secondly, are you REALLY from estonia? I swear to god, half that country must be animators...all 300 of em. Every animation festival I go to, half the selected submissions are from there.
