If there aren't enough, it won't go to print. Simple as that.
Probably end up picking the top 5 and do shirts + stickers like every other contest.

...thanks to everyone that's submitted so far :D

I'll be doing something once I get a solid sketch done and time to paint it.

thanks to Turkey for helping me figure out what i'm doing :D

You're welcome. :3

I thought I'd try this year, seeing as how last year I was too big of a pansy. xD

I think there's quite a few left that are just waiting till the last second to just blow us outta the water, imo...

Here's my piece so far. But I still feel there needs to be more or something to be corrected.
Any suggestions?

Mmm... the background and sun would be what I'd change if I were you. The dad/blockhead/foamy are pretty good.

The bg just seems a little lackluster... And the sun kind of makes me sad.

Thanks Rhunyc. I was thinking along the same lines. I'm definitely changing the background and sun's expression.

Probably make the arm effect a little transparent because it looks like an arabian sword to me.
You know, now I'm confused on whether it's a sword or an arm effect. Gosh.

It's a scimitar-like sword. It's not an arm effect. At least, I don't think Sakupen's Dad character can change his arm into sword .

FFUUUU I'M SO LATE!
I need to do this bad!
I doubt I'll win with all the high caliber flash artists on here, but I really want to draw something anyways!
Oh, I hope I'll get a good idea and win!

That's been severely effect raped. Try manual shading / lighting. It should look better than bevels and such.

I didn't use bevels at all on this piece. And I didn't use Photoshop bundle effects. If anything, I use multiple layers (there is a lot of them) and use blending effects that come with the layers.

SEE HQ FOR TIME CONSUMING DETAILS

And can I PLEASE get some feedback on my progress?

For some reason, the guy with the blue bear head... his skin looks like it needs better shading.

ugh, i dont know why, but newgrounds loves to prevent me from posting images, to art portal, to journals, to forum posts. it just freezes despite that the filesize is fine. grr.

is this too hard to read? can you tell what's goin' on.

hominid is in his ship, one of those suits is wiping dust of the window?

looks amazing... Love what you did to alien hominid. Adding details is generally the hardest part of drawing such simple things in your own style. At least, adding details isnt that hard, but doing it in such a way that they actually improve the drawing, and still keep the character easily recognizable.

Even if a person doesn't get it immediately, they've got a whole month to figure it out.

Huh, and hear I thought I was original putting Dad and Blockhead together.

Coloring in the background later today, should be done today or tomorrow.

Ah no, I'm changing it for the real thing as well as moving a few of the characters.

Wow Jonas, you need to lay off the bottle and start learning proper English.
Secondly, too everyone I am super impressed with each peice I have seen so far. I take into consideration that you all have different art styles and it's nice too see a mix of all of them together. This is a great idea. Great work everyone, and I can't wait too see more!

(No, not a judge or any affiliation with the judging. I just like to come by, and look at the work being done from time to time, so don't mind me.)

Hmm wonder if I'll do this one... After realizing the prize isn't that great, there's other things I need to be putting my time towards.... sooooo I dunno

I'll definitely be buying one though, there's some good things showing up.

So I finished coloring and shading all the characters, and now I'm gonna start working on the background...

Any thoughts?

If you manage to pull out the other 2 characters in the next five days or so, you are my hero.

I'm kinda in the same situation, and your efforts gave strenght to continue. Good luck in finishing that!

As I said before, I plan to do the pink knight as well. Just a little challenge to brighten the day (of course if I won't make it in time, then the pink knight idea is ditched)

Might as well post it here as well. Spent around 2 days doing this one :P hope you guys like.

perfect nursery wall mural.

why does the deadline have to be september 15????? i only get a computer the forteenth so that leaves me one day to make it.

can we please post it off for maybe one more week???

PLEASE!?!

I changed the background to a cheerier scene. I also added the Starguyz and the sun from It's a Nice Day, Today. Kudos to scottmale24 and AgentSneak for their characters. If you're wondering why the clouds have a moustache and a gun, it's from a Starguyz episode.

I think the only thing in that picture that doesn't have muscles is the trees. FIX IT.

<3<3<3 ;3

i just wanna say i really enjoy vylents' piece

not sure why but overall i love looking at it, it's relaxing, but it does need something which i can't think of right now but good work

I started working on something today. It's a flash/photoshop crossover. Line-art and coloring happens in flash, textures and other environmental details happen in photoshop.
