I'm still debating whether there will be a 2010 one. This is/was a great project when there was no art portal. Now that there is one, it almost feels redundant to go through the amount of expense and effort to do what essentially is already built and more flexible. We'll see...

this years will definatley be out this year. i know thats not sayin much but yea.

While I appreciate your concern, let's put it bluntly.
We better do 2010, or I'm going to go medieval on your asses ;)

But ok, seriously, if you feel like it's not worth it, then... I guess you know what's the best.

In the meantime, I'll be waiting for the '09 to pop up.

I wasn't late... and I had to submit it from the other side of the globe...
And how I would still want to redraw my piece!

Oh well... sketchbook 2010...

Seven days.

Hmmm... In consideration, it's all about how my next week's schedule will be...

Surreal level
Aaaand...
Steampunk level

Why? Because I blody felt like voting for these ;)

Also, have something smart to say before you post, and stop spamming up the art forum.

Since we are going for a scrolling shooter, then we need epic boss battles at least. So I suggest we start looking for epic MUSIC for boss battles, because with years of experience, I can tell that bossbattles with awesome music & style, even if they are not that hard / challenging are the ones you will be playing over & over & over again.

Because of that, we need some epic bosses as well ;)

October is half gone and I haven't heard anything about it.

Also, if you were to buy a dslr camera, would you be more interested in its megapixel count or the fps count?

Its comin along ;)

there, update.

Awesomesauce.
*sigh* Kinda wish for sketchbook 2010 already, since I want to do better than I did for this sketchbook ^^;

My parents got me a Wacom Bamboo Fun for my birthday (check it out on my userpage), so I'll be sure to get it set up and get to using it when I clear through my exams.

Though I'm more or less a stranger to you, still, happy birthday, big guy ^^

And wow, that effectively made my cheap AipTek 10000u tablet look, well... cheap? XD

I think we have enough shooting & fighting games already, so...

Platformer.

Also, I think it has the best opportunity for different kinds of surreal & wild art, and even platformers can have epic boss battles if we include a little "combat" factor in it.

It consisted of some leaflets, pens, a condom case, a keyring, wristband and button badge, much of it with this logo on.

Disappointingly we did not obtain any condoms. But we were told we could get some free at this clinic, as well as lube. That part made me laff.

Sexual education isn't what it used to be anymore... XD
We were pretty much just told to use a condom or suffer the damn consequences (with some crappy educational video)... and we didn't even get no blody condom!

... Or lube.

Oh, silence, you.

None of my A rated stuff were awarded, mind you.

Also, looks like we are back to good 'ol hostilities, woo!

I actually have awards?
What is this blasphemy?!

Now aiming for the FP one!

That is, once I get scouted again, lol.

But overall, I think this new system is better than the last one, and the award thing is a good idea. 4 scouts per day really has no impact to me personally, since I didn't really do any scouting rampage anyway ^^;

So, instead, just plain old classic:

HAPPY 'FRIGIN BIRTDAY!

Baaah! You are just lazy :P

Shush, you. Besides, art forums is pretty fed up with my style anyway. And I don't feel like drawing right now, and if I couldn't go all out with the drawing, then I feel I shouldn't even try... Thus, I'm tired!

Pride, a sense of accomplishment?
a chance to better your art and work with newgrounds artists?

All that, and even if you do not win (I am sad now XD), you still get a chance to perfect your style, get to work on different subjects ect ect... Aaaaaand learn how to work with people you don't really like... (points violently at idiot-monarch).

However, as for me, I'mma need to skip this Showdown, my spare time is already being non-existent, so I couldn't go at this with full capacity, and if I cannot do that, then it's better to leave it. But, perhaps when SS 9 hits us? Who knows ^^

Not to mention the obvious - I'm excited for my art and stuff to be in this!

I'm excited about the fact I could have done so much better than I did (too bad I can't redraw it...). Well... I'm sure to buckle up better for the next year, and maybe even choose a subject that doesn't completely creep people out.

Still, I'm happy to be a part in this, and I'm really looking forward to see this thing hit the portal (at last).

On a side note, I always thought Fatchaos -idiot-monarch team would go like this-
Fatchaos: "Hey idiotmonarch, I'm done! I drew Spyro!" *holds up image of naked Spyro*
idiot-monarch: "FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

You do realize that I only draw dragons because I want to, not because I have to?
Besides... we are all mature people here, so setting aside our differences wasn't even that hard.
Oh yeah, and I have never even played Spyro XD

Ok... votes are cast!

1. TurkeyOnAStick and AwesomeSaurus - V for Vendetta
- Seriously now, this is pretty awesome in nearly every way. Deserves the 1st place.
2. LegolaSS and Little-Eise (Little-laSS) - Scrubs
- Because I like Scrubs, and when JD is daydreaming, it never ceases to amuse me ^^
Thus it's well done as well!
3. J-qb and kernalphage - James Bond, 007
- While I fail to see any familiar looking Bond there, the overall concept is nice and humorous.

Final thoughts:
Damn us for choosing Inglorious Basterds, I should have known that (most of) you lazy bastards haven't seen it yet XD (But seriously, do, it's an awesome movie ^^)
Still, I'm happy I could be a part of this!

I don't think I've ever seen you draw a female human yet. Would you be willing to draw one of my female characters? I'll let you decide which one, just to be fair.

Sure, sounds reasonable. And I have, in fact (like you said), but it was more or less a wild try.
Well, you truly are fair ^^
I'll pick one later, it's not like I'm in a rush or anything right now...

There sure is a lot of not-art in here for an art thred. Let's see something new.

Oh, you shush, it's art to me (we already discussed this on my thread VERY, VERY thoroughly). But I already promised to do something else, and it looks a lot like it will be what AlexanderTheInsane suggested. For starters at least ^^

*sigh*

Artblock, oh yeah ^^;

Well, luckily I might know the means to counter that. So yeah, I'll be doing 1 request. ONE (for now.). Oh, and it cannot be anthro (yes, you heard right. I just told you NOT to tell me to do anthro!), because I did promise to do something new.

First come, first served. Unless I really dislike the idea >;)
Oh, and it might take awesomely lot of time for me to actually do it, I'm kinda short on time right now in general.

HI-RES version or something...

Oh yes, team one, status: Ready (I think, I didn't really show this to idiot-monarch yet XD).

We chose... Inglorious Basterds by Quenting Tarantino.
So blood was mandatory!

here is my team (little-eise and me) so team Little-laSS *based on the order of which we did it*

basicly from what i was told... JD from scrubs is having one of his moments when he thinks about a fantastic idea which isnt possible in the real world... but that doesnt stop him dreaming about it...

Dr.Cox's: well there noobie... why dont you just fly over the rainbow and make everything alright...
JD: hmmmmm *dreambubble*

YAY i make a cockjoke... :P

That's pretty awesome right there, I love JD's little imagination trips XD They are so hilarious!

As for me and idiot-monarch, I might be able to get this done today... it's mostly done, just some bg stuff left & a few honing touches.

This might have come as a lifesaver for me... Because fate desided that out of ALL the weekends, I should get sick NOW. I'm more or less having hard time focusing on anything, but I'll try to get it done till Monday nevertheless.
