New thread is up! FAC 23!

FAC 23 Theme: Heroes as Villains Welcome to the April 2009 edition of OCR's "official" Fan Art Competition (FAC)! This month's theme is HEROES AS VILLAINS! "Hero = Villain This could be in many different ways...for example, Mario: the hero may be seen as a villain by other characters. I'm sure the families of all the goombas Mario's headstomped over the years think he's evil.... the hero dresses up like a villain or turns into them...Mario putting on a Bowser costume or transforming into him... the hero acts like a villain. Mario goes evil and starts beating old ladies to death with a plunger. Or, joins the villain's side and helps them fight the good guys." -Chiral, winner of FAC 22!

FAQ What is the Fan Art Competition? The Fan Art Competition is a monthly event where artists create some form of art based on a certain theme. What is the theme? The theme is decided by the winner of the previous months competition (most of the time) and must be video game related. Who can submit art? Anyone. What are my restrictions? You are allowed to submit one entry, but other than that there are no restrictions. There are no size, quality, image size restrictions. Who decides the winner? The OCR community. Anyone who wants to vote, can vote. How does voting work? You vote for your three favorite entries, from first to third. These entries are given points based on the order in which you voted for them in. For example, 1st. Rambo 2nd. bonzai 3rd. Nyuura In this case, Rambo would get 3 points, bonzai would get 2, and Nyuura would get 1 (although Nyuura gets three most of the time). When and how do we see the results? After the voting period is over, I'll announce the winner and show the tallied scores for all entries. If I enter the contest can I vote? Yes, and voting for yourself is allowed if you really want to. Rules and Regulations! 1) Any art submitted must be based off of the months theme. 2) No nudity. 3) Your entry must be created within the month. It cannot have been something you've created in the past or partially finished prior to the announcement of the theme. 4) All entries must be 100% your work. Simply altering something created by someone else may be cool, but is not allowed as an entry. DEADLINE! PM me all entries by SATURDAY APRIL 25TH. -------------------------- Support this competition by wearing one of these fancy sig things, or make one of your own -

Edited the first post, RESULTS ARE IN.

ohmygoodness you guys, LAST DAY TO VOTE!!!

HEY GUYS, IMPORTANT NOTICE I forgot to add Brushfire's entry when I updated the thread earlier today. If you've voted already, please take another look at all the entries including NUMBER 12. If you'd like to revote, just pm me your new votes. SORRY AGAIN BRUSHFIRE

Sorry about posting the entries late! You can all blame Rambo and spring break for that. Edited the first post, PM your votes to me by SUNDAY MARCH 29TH.

hahahaha, friendlyHunter I do not think the poses I've seen from you have been static lolcats! I have issues with making things dynamic too. I do the same thing as cobaltstarfire, lots of loose scribbling at first to get the right feel down, then just working up from there. And animation can give you AWESOME references/inspiration for movement and action. ONE MORE WEEK GUYS!

don't chastise me in front of the troops! it weakens my authority! and YOU better make an entry, you don't have an excuse. I do....I'm busy studying

you all are just the artistic equivalent of a sweat shop, making entries purely for my enjoyment AND WE HAVE 2 ENTRIES NOW, WOOOOOOOO

yessssss, we've got our first entry already MOAR PL0X

I do not think I will be able to submit an entry for this month (and if I do make one, I will most likely be borrowing Rambo's crayons). But, um, to make up for that I wanted to post a different version of my Pyro Femme Fatale entry that I had been working on! http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj69/bonzai_mofo/pyrofacver1.jpg?t=1236307288 I kinda went in a different direction with this one...

OF. COURSE. I'd loveeee to see an entry like that (even though I am currently slaving away in a sculpture class ohgod ohgod). Really, all media are fine with me :3 shuddup shuddup shuddup

I edited the first post with the results for the competition! I feel like a dick ...btw, I choose the photo of Rambo with his pants coming down as my prize.

SO MANY VOTES, BONZAI IS HAPPY. Thanks to everyone who's voted already! Just a reminder that the deadline to vote is TOMORROW, FRIDAY THE 27TH. I might be a little busy, but if I can, I'll try and get the results up as soon as voting ends.

yesssshhhh <3

Hey guys, I have character names and the games they're from for most of the entries (or so I believe). Would you like if I put them next to the entry number? Or are you guys alright as is. ALSO, HAVE I SAID HOW AWESOME THIS MONTH'S ENTRIES ARE YET?!? Thanks for making my first time running the competition so badass.

OKAY GUYS, ENTRIES ARE UP! EDITED FIRST POST. :nicework:

still a little under 3 HOURS until the deadline!

yup, I got it

Most people upload it somewhere and link it.

;__; YOU SLACKERS! Sorry, but I don't think I'll be giving an extension, wouldn't be fair for those who already submitted their entries. I BELIEVE IN YOU GUYS, YOU CAN DO IT.

hahahahaha, uncapitalization was NOT my fault, the first time I typed my own response, it was all caps and it came out all...not caps. ANYWAYS I DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN MYSELF TO YOU. fine. here. <3

I DO WHAT I WANT. Maybe you should go work on your entry, HUH? HUH? HUH? <3
