<font color="00CC99">Hi all! This is Deathbringer's Local Ironwork's Art competition open to all IronWorkers! Post your artwork here, and every week, your pictures will be judged. The best one will be named <font color="#00CC00">‘Pic o’ the Week’</font> and the artist will receive a fantastic award.
http://members.lycos.co.uk/deatbringer/artcomp.jpg

Simply post your picture and feel free to vote. <font color="#00CC00">(You cannot vote for your own picture)</font>

<font color="#00CC00">Rules and how the system works:</font>
1. The pictures must be no larger than 300*300pixels.
2. The pictures may NOT be offensive in any way. All IW rules apply.
3. You may only post 1 picture every week, or until the current competition is over.

Your pictures can either be hand drawn/painted, computer rendered, and/or both.
To Vote, PM me this completed form: <font color="#00CC00">(you don't have to enter a pic to vote).</font>
1st choice (5 points)
2nd choice (3points)
3rd choice (1 point)
If you don’t have a second or third choice, leave them blank. Do not vote for the same picture for more than one choice (if you do so, your vote will be ignored).
Multiple votes will be ignored.

To save room, every TWO weeks this thread will be deleated. The winner will be added to a hall of fame on my website. This means people will be able to view the winner in IW for 1 week after that competition.</font>

<font color="#00CC00">The first competition starts now! Thursday 7/25/02
You must enter your picture on or before Monday 7/29/02</font><font color="00CC99"> - this gives people time to view all the entries and time to vote.</font>

Not only could this be really cool, but it could go on for a while!

You might want the pic specs to remain within sig limits though, we have to remember where our bandwidth comes from! :D

Good Luck with all the entries everyone!

<font color="#00CC99">Thanks Moni, but I think I posted this at the wrong time. Maybe I should have waited until IW was a little more busy [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

Nah! IW has had some slow days recently...I am sure this will stay out front here for all to see as the day goes on.
This is a cool idea! I hope it pans out!

I'll be the first to post my artwork
this is done at the expert oekaki board

I cut out my sig to cut down the bandwidth

edit: fixed

Cool, I'll have to pick up Photoshop again, havn't used it seriously for about 3 months now...

Will have something ready tomorrow [img]smile.gif[/img]

great idea i will be looking forward to everyones work. A suggestion though you could make the size unlimited but have a link instead of the pic. in the thread so people could work without any restrictions besides what a hosting service would have. Just a suggestion though your idead is great too.

I guess I'll knock somthing up now and post it tomorrow

Cool thread Death...I'll go whip up somthing with Bryce ;)

<font color="snow">Make sure you get Rikard to enter! He is an absolute legend with those cows and chickens. </font>

By the way, what is the deadline for the submissions ?

<font color="#00CC99">its there, under when it started</font>

Sorry didn't see it the first time... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm a common person and I would post my stuff but I can't draw for anything, even Rikard is a better drawer than me [img]tongue.gif[/img]

This is just something I did ages ago with Bryce. I'll enter a better pic next comp. ;)

<font color="lawngreen" face="trebuchet MS"> Ok well heres a little thing I just tested with for this comp.. it doesnt look as good as Id like it to... but it does mean that when I figure out how to get rid of the white circles when making an animated gif with imageready I will be able to make moving Sigs with NwN characters and creatures in it... Yay.

Anyway back to the pic... I just grabbed critters from the toolset and shoved em all on a page then took the NwN logo from the top of the NwN forum to put at the top.... it only took a little while... but anyway...

If anything it ought to at least win an honorable mention for "artistic effects in a photo" :D
