ITS KRUNKY TIME! (NEW ART CONTEST)

THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR FINISHED ART CONTEST SUBMISSIONS.
Keep all comments, suggestions, critiques, sketches, detail shots, and/or anything else in THIS THREAD RIGHT HERE. NOT IN THIS ONE. LMAO.

ANYWAY...none of you can even imagine the sleep we lose over deciding what the next art contest will be. However, we recently gave in to being the indecisive failures we are and decided on DESIGN A KIDS CEREAL BOX!

Whoa there cowboy, here are the rules/guidelines:

1. Design the front of a kid's cereal box. The maximum image dimensions for art contest submissions are 595x700 pixels - just about the shape of the front of a box of cereal. Use these dimensions, fill it up, and your end result should be a cereal box. Don't draw a character holding a cereal box, or a cereal box with legs eating his own cereal brains, or anything similar. My submission below paints a pretty clear idea of what you should be doing and the concept is VERY SIMPLE, AND YOU REALLY HAVE TO GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO SCREW SOMETHING UP. Follow the guideline, or else you'll FAIL and look like a asshole, plus everyone will lose respect for you, and your only way to overcome the crippling shame of your actions will be to hadoken yourself in the face and hope your family doesn't recognize your pitiful remains at the morgue. Plus you won't win.

2. Create a mascot for your cereal to go on your box. If you're not feeling particularly creative, you can use an existing character like GOD FORBID Mario or Master Chief. Anna Nicole Smith Cereal with the marshmallows shaped like dead fetuses is also a swell example. Peppy the Penicorn Flakes? Also...try to avoid cereal parodies, and make up something original. For example, don't parody 'TRIX' cereal with 'DIX' cereal and change everything about Trix to involve dicks somehow. Think a step further and make like...Fruity Dick Splash with your own original mascot and some other stuff. GET IT?

3. Besides the art aspect you should also be aware this is a graphic design contest too. After all, surrounding your mascot you need stuff like: your fake cereal company name, nutritional values, taglines (Kid tested, mother approved!), or little graphics of the free toy inside - whatever. Your box should have kids salivating at the prospect of eating those sugary, processed bran flakes inside.

4. NO PHOTOSHOPS. I hate spelling things out but don't go slapping a picture of Tom on the front of a Wheaties box (even if he totally deserves to be on one) because that isn't DRAWING and this is an art contest and only artists/artist wannabes can participate. I mean, you can USE Photoshop, but photo-manipulations are out. I'll sic Mindchamber on you if you dare step out of line. :3

Oh and unless you want me to mock you like THIS GUY, please DON'T TRACE. DON'T TRACE ANYTHING AT ALL. IT'S FUNNY HOW WE STRESS THAT CONSTANTLY, YET EACH CONTEST BRINGS FORTH 3 OR 4 OBVIOUSLY TRACED SUBMISSIONS AND "NO I DIDN'T TRACE THIS! FOR REAL!" ONLY INCRIMINATES YOU FURTHER.

Prizes are as follows:


1st | 150 + Shirt
2nd | 100 + Shirt
3rd | 75+ Shirt
4th | 50 + Shirt
5th | 25 + Shirt

And as always, shirts and stickers to a bunch of other people.

The deadline for this contest is APRIL 16th, 2007 at 9:14:57 AM. THAT IS NOT A JOKE.

I'm going out on a limb starting this by myself as my co-workers are failures who haven't finished theirs yet...so hopefully I've made it clear. Also, don't rush through something just to be on page 1. That's a threat not a promise lmao. If this thread doesn't get submissions for a few days, so be it...just take some TIME for Christ's sake because I'M WALKING THE RAZOR SHARP EDGE OF SANITY AND YOU CRETINS ARE CLOSE TO PUSHING ME INTO THE DEPTHS OF OBLIVION FOR WHICH THERE IS NO RETURN.

That is all. Now GET DRAWING.

HERE'S MINE LOLOL :3

First off, I'd like to say that I am so very, very sorry for this...

... but damnit, when an idea like this comes around you just can't let it go.

Can't stop chuckling. I'm going to hell.

Lol Im possibly the worst artist in the history of the world. Please dont be too harsh with my first ever Art Contest entry.. I spent about an hour and a half trying to draw the main thing alone.

Also, I have to lower the quality a bunch so dont get mad..
