[talk] Madness Day 2010 Art Contest

MADNESS DAY 2010 ART CONTEST Discussion Thread

In this thread, feel free to

- Discuss ideas.
- Post works in progress,
- Critique, praise or crap all over WIPs and submissions,
- General banter

I am going to experiment and not have an [art] thread. Instead, simply post your finished work to the Art Portal and tag it with "MadnessDay2010" and "Madness". If people really miss having an [art] thread, I can still add one... We can discuss that here in the discussion thread!

The theme is anything and everything Madness. You should post your art any time between now and Madness Day on September 22nd. Submissions have the potential to become site skins and maybe even loader skins if they are amazing enough and early enough.

To have the potential to become a poster, your original art should be in a 2:3 aspect ratio (poster is 12x18" or 24x36" in extreme scenarios) and 300dpi, although you should probably submit a smaller version to NG.

PRIZES

1st Place: $100
2nd Place: $40
3rd Place: $30

To see what's already been done in the past, have a look! This is your chance to push all that stuff to page 2.

[Havegum]

I'm soo in this one!

[Makeshift]

Maybe I'll try something...

It would be cool if when we post an art portal link it does the same as a movie or game. I think it'd be cool to see that thumbnail in the forums.

[ImpendingRiot]

I like you Tom, so I'll enter this.

It's on the list so that day shall one day come. :)

[Kinsei]

I might be able to muster another Madness piece :P
Sure I'm in.

[PopSecret]

id be a fool not to enter!

[Kashi]

i dont want to be a jerk and be lazy, but i think this question should be asked:
Can we post the madness pics that we entered into the collab?

i think this question should be answered so no one gets confused :/

[test-object]

If you are starting a new topic you MUST start with a piece of your own original art. If you are looking for advice, please share your work as an example of what you are trying to accomplish.

I might make something, if I get a decent idea.

Yes, your Madness Art can be used in Flash submissions as well.

[redadder515]

I'll definitely make one or two.

[Ryajin-Geki]

Can we mix Madness with anything as well? Like Jurassic Park+Madness= Madness Park? Or is it strictly Madness only?

I think as long as it has something to do with Madness, anything goes.

[Clatform]

I'm Definetly in this one, Tom !

[Kamikaye]

Cool :)

I have to force myself to participate, I always miss these NG event days :(

[VidGameDude]

doesn't it seem kinda unfair that these madness pics have been there for at least a year now?
i mean those were for last year, why should they count for art submissions this year?

[VidGameDude]

^---nevermind that post, i didn't read clearly enough...

[BurntFoxProductions]

I'm not not scouted yet... but I did make something.

[Boss]

whoops... i didn't mean to put 2 "not"s in there.

[Rhunyc]

w0rd. Sorry Scelectic, but my attention has now shifted completely.

[M-Vero]

Oh god, my old work is on the first page of that.
My god I must make amends for that terribleness.

[Fifty-50]

I'm not sure if I should enter. Considering I have a lot in my hands.

[Ashman]

so the art collab and this, im gunna be sick of madness by the time madness day rolls around, oh well

[Wivernryder]

I'm gonna come out of my peevish shell and actually submit something for this. I know I'm going to be blown out of the water by everyone else, but I've got a few sketches that I think are pretty solid.

lol @ vero's old stuff. You've improved so much since then, man.

[Lintire]

And right in time for my miraculous re-motivation in drawing, as well. Shit yeah I'm in this one, I'd be some sort of McDonald's loving, Runescape-playing fool not to.

The policy is there is no policy.

[ErnestoGod]

Would a clay sculpture work for this?

[homojesus]

count me in!

[J-qb]

You see, for all the guns and swords and explosions and blood, there is still one fundamental thing missing in madness: Everyone say it together now: BOOBS
