Iron Avatarist: OotS on Film

[Roland St. Jude]

Welcome to the latest edition of...
Iron Avatarist

This Iron Avatarist contest will be judged by

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c273/AwakenedDreamer/Tribbles/OriginalStickTribble.gifhttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b259/RolandStJ/Oblivion.gifhttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b259/RolandStJ/bookman1el.gif
(Vorpal Tribble/Oblivion/Bookman/Possibly Pirate Roland)
(Final lineup subject to change - If any of you want to draw instead just let me know!)

Our theme this month is...
Film

What if your favorite films had been made in the OotS style? Or what if your favorite OotS characters starred in them? Any film, any era, what would it look like OotS style? What I'd love to see, are some of those iconic movie poster rendered in the OotS style. And finally, could we see an appearance by the animated concessions?

Remember: All artwork must be your own. Do not take, alter, or use any of the The Giant's art. Thanks. :smallsmile:

As usual there will be a First through Third place award for each of the following, with trophies by Oblivion:

Best Movie Avatar (anything roughly avatar size)
Best Movie Scene (anything bigger than ^)
Best Movie Poster
Best Movies Erf-style
Best Rookie Entry

And, as always, the Best Overall award.

As usual, I'll be giving the Academy-approved Roland’s Choice Award to the avatarist's creation that most appeals to my, admittedly cinematic, sensibilities.

Every entry must include a bolded introduction as to what category you are trying to enter in.

Every entry must include a bolded introduction as to what your entry is.

For example:

Life Moves Pretty Fast
[IMAGE]

Only the avatarist who created the avatar may submit it.
However, you may submit old creations as long as they have never been entered into an Iron Avatar Thread before. It does not have to be something made specifically for this thread.

All entries must be posted by March 7 at Noon Eastern Standard Time.

Good luck!

[Serpentine]

Oooo! If you can find another judge, I think I'd like to enter this one, if that's okay. I would be pretty happy to judge, too, though :smallcool:

[Oregano]

I haven't looked in on an IA in a while but this one caught my attention. What constitutes a Rookie Entry?:smallconfused:

[Fostire]

I haven't looked in on an IA in a while but this one caught my attention. What constitutes a Rookie Entry?:smallconfused:

Any entry done by someone who has never participated in an IA before

[Serpentine]

All entries submitted by anyone for whom this is their first contest.
Sorry, just worried there might be some confusion with that...

And what's the difference between someone like Alarra or Baron, versus you, the Super Moderator?

This is not an Iron Avatarist issue. PM me if you want to discuss board issues, or check the relevant thread in Board Issues, if there is one.

[Shadic]

What's the limit on foul language in these entries? Say, is the word "Hell" accepted? It's in the comic, so I don't THINK it'd be an issue, but it can't hurt to check.

I don't think it's a problem.

[Shadic]

Awesome. I don't think it's going to be an issue anymore, as my idea has slightly changed, but it's good to know for the future.

[Rutskarn]

As for mine, well...let's just say it's a good thing I didn't have to include any quotes from the film in particular, or the forum censors would dogpile it and taser it into a heap of smoldering pixels.

Still...

"Stupid meals! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast."

"What's in this? Do you mind if I have a sip of your Mountain Dew: Code Red to wash this down?"

[Serpentine]

Pfft. Hell's a place, not a swearword.

And now, onto film sweetness...

Two questions: 1. If you've submitted an avatar as part of a scene before, but not on its own, does that count as "already submitted"? For example, I made a black Spaceball long ago. It was part of a "Spaceballs Villains" scene, and I don't think I submitted it on its own, but I do have it separate. Could I submit just the black Spaceball, and not the scene?
2. Is Kurama from a movie, or a TV show?

[Phase]

My entry(ires) will be... longer than most...

1. Yes. Though I thought you submitted it separately at some point.
2. I have no idea. :smallamused:

[Shades of Gray]

Kurama is from Yuyu Hakusho, a tv show, Serp.

I call dibs on Indiana Elan.

[Shadic]

Pfft. Hell's a place, not a swearword.
I find a lot of the rules in this place awkward and backwards, so I'm not going to make any assumptions here. :smallamused:

And as for the actual topic, I need to learn to do some special effects in Illustrator..

[Trizap]

and I call dibs on Iron Man.

I'm pretty sure you submitted Inigo Montoya as an entry in the Villians contest.

[Serpentine]

I'm pretty sure you submitted Inigo Montoya as an entry in the Villians contest.You're right. I even won an award for it, and everything. Thanks for pointing it out.

Shaddles of Griddle: Thanks. Drag, I'm proud of those avis... Ah well.

Also, no dibs allowed. Or at least, none listened to. If you want to submit something, you can, no matter whether someone else has already.

Roland: I just went through the Sci-fi contest, and it seems I intended to submit them all separately, but I ran out of time. So, I'll submit 'em here instead, but most of them aren't that great and I may redo them anyway.

[Person1123]

Are rookie entries just rookie entries, or do you say like "Best Avatar/Rookie Entry?"

[Dr. Bath]

Are rookie entries just rookie entries, or do you say like "Best Avatar/Rookie Entry?"

You enter a normal category, but you also add Rookie entry to it. You can still win if you're new! I won a bronze in my first IA.

Also: I've got a scene in mind, and if anybody steals it... *shakes fist*

Instead, I stuck to Erfworld, where all I have to complete with is some inconsequential guy named Dr. Bath, who is in no way an avatar-ing legend. Smart move, m'right?

Awe.
Some.

[Lemming]

I like the fact that she's out of focus in frame 7. Very realistic.

[Woodsman]

I am loving this!

Epic Inigo Montoya and Jurassic Park scenes in OotS style art?

My head may explode from the sheer awesomeness of this topic.

[Qwernt]

Mondo terrific there Phase. That had better not be what you were talking about: "Anyway, my entry will be terrible compared to this masterpiece. "

If so, I may never be able to trust a word you type again.

[Uncle Festy]

If so, I may never be able to trust a word you type again.

Eh, I never do anyways. :smalltongue:

[Serpentine]

Ha! Frig. As a favour for The Boy, I've started a Clockwork Orange theme, intending to enter it. But I completely forgot that it ended a day ago XDX Drag. Ah well.

Isn't there still time left as its closing-date is march 7?

Great things here now, nice to see some more fabulous movie-scenes (although I only know Serpentine's from the reference in Oots :smallredface:).

And at personal risking of being sued :smallwink:

[Roland St. Jude]

This contest is CLOSED! Thanks for the entries everyone and good luck!

[Elder Tsofu]

Phew, that was a close run. :smalleek:

[CrimsonAngel]

Ah crap, I was gonna submit another to make up the the crappy one I submited in page one. :smallfrown:

[Serpentine]

Isn't there still time left as its closing-date is march 7?Well, here at least, it's just gone 9th of March :smalltongue: Also: Go see The Princess Bride! I'm not gonna rave on and on about how it's the most awesome thing ever made, because 1. I don't believe it that much and 2. it'll just put you off, but until you do you'll be missing out on a lot of references, and one of the best sword fights in movie history.
Humm... Oh well. No Clockwork Orange :smallfrown:

[Elder Tsofu]

Gah, my clock is one day behind - lucky you pointed out my error before I missed something! :smalleek:

[Qwernt]

I am sorry Elder Tsofu, but anything that good late can not be accepted :smallwink:

[Rutskarn]

It's locked in, Bathster. How you feeling? Feeling scared? Feeling ashamed? Feeling unnecessarily hubristic?

Yeah, I thought so.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Y'know, I'm frankly amazed there is no V for Vendetta spoof, especially with the recent comics.

[Qwernt]

Well, gee. Where were you with that good idea a week ago? :smallwink:

[Rutskarn]

His hair's even the same. Yeah. Yeah, I could see that.

Boy, it's a good thing I didn't do any OOTS themed entries. Otherwise, I'd be kicking myself.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Well, gee. Where were you with that good idea a week ago? :smallwink:
Without internet :smallfrown:

[CrimsonAngel]

No results for the Rawhide contest OR this?

[Assassin89]

No results for the Rawhide contest OR this?

I guess it takes a few months for the results to be submitted. I'm betting that the judging for erfworld will take the least amount of time.

[Elder Tsofu]

It takes a while, but it is announced before the next contest.
Patience.

[Roland St. Jude]

No results for the Rawhide contest OR this?

:smallannoyed: I'm going to start disqualifying or otherwise penalizing people who ask about results before they're due. :smallannoyed:

With one exception ever, results have always been posted according to this self-imposed schedule: before the next contest closes. (Typically, this is about one month to six weeks after the contest itself closes.) I'd appreciate the courtesy of no one stating or implying that I'm late until I'm actually late.

As for the Rawhide contest, that's his baby, not a regular IA contest.

[Rutskarn]

Exactly.

Judging is a complicated process, involving several people--tense as it may be for the contestants, its not gonna happen overnight.

I actually find the best solution is to pretty much stay away from this thread for the next few weeks, then start checking in infrequently.

Also to join another contest. That way, you can obsessively worry over THAT one instead.

Well-said. And on that last point, we'll have a new contest up for you soon! It will surprise you.

[Rutskarn]

I love surprises.

They give me the chance to try out my various firearms.

Which gives me another great contest idea! :smallsmile:

[CrimsonAngel]

Which gives me another great contest idea! :smallsmile:

So many different contests come to mind when I think about firearms.

[Rutskarn]

Question is: does this new firearms-related contest have anything to do with the penalization of the aforementioned naggers?

That would be awesome.

Pull!

Ten points!

This was a tough decision to make, but I'll have to go with Rutskarn's Army of Erfness.

Thanks to our judges and good work everyone!

[Elder Tsofu]

Oh, I got Bronze! :smallbiggrin:

Thanks to the judges, you did a great work - I seem to share your decisions on most points. :smallsmile:

[Rutskarn]

Hells yeah, mother-caresser!

Kudos to the Bathster--that was some pretty damn stiff competition.

[CrimsonAngel]

Shoot. *filler text*

[Rutskarn]

While I liked your entry just fine, Crimsa, there was some stiff competition in that category.

No shame, is what I'm saying.

[Szilard]

I forgot what I entered in anyway.:smallsigh:
Well, there was a lot of good art here.:smallsmile: Maybe I should enter something in the new one...:smalltongue:

[Dr. Bath]

Whaaaat? How did Elder Tsofu not win? The Gone with the Wind and Ghostbusters ones were stunning. You get the unsanctioned Dr-Bath-thought-it-was-the-best prize. Woo! Yeah! I'll shut up.

Next Time, Rutskarn! Next tiiime! (I'll be makin' that avotar at some point soon. ish)

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Good stuff, y'all!


Maybe I should enter something in the new one...:smalltongue:
Yes. Yes you should.

[Phase]

Good job, guys. I think Ghostbusters should have won...

[Rutskarn]

Imma be honest, Ghostbusters was probably my favorite poster as well.

Still, the judges have spoken, and honor goes to all contestants anyway.

[Serpentine]

Well, they're all enshrined in the Hall of Fame now, anyway. And that makes it official donchano! :smalltongue:

[Elder Tsofu]

Hehe, even through my usual mist of art-narcissism I saw that I couldn't be certain to even hit top 3 with either of my submissions (the goal I set out with, other than improve my general standard of submissions).
And as it is popular to speak your own view: my two favourites in the category was Kaytara and Desouulm (a great first submission from him).
As for my own submissions, now when the aforementioned mists have disappeared I see at-least a dozen parts which I should have done better to be satisfied with them.
Tough competition, and I wouldn't have wanted to be in the judges uhm, sunglasses, shoes or baggy pants this round. :smallbiggrin:

Although it's always nice when people feeds ones ego. :smallcool:
And Ghostbusters was my favourite of my own too. :smallwink:

Oh, and Kaytara, I'll beat you next time. :smallamused:

[Qwernt]

Given that I had myself in 4th or 5th place, I am not going to complain about a silver :smallwink:.
I think everything submitted was excellent, and pity the judges for the choice they had to make - felt a lot like the art IA in that way.

Thanks Judges - and don't let us armchair judges get on your nerves too much.

[Person1123]

Yes! Silver!

(where do i get the sig trophy thing?)

[Serpentine]

...get it? :smallconfused: Just right-click on your trophy to get Properties and copy-paste the URL wherever you like. Speaking of which, I should update my prize shelf...

[Kaytara]

Huh. O.O I definitely didn't expect that. I'm going to have to second everyone else here and say that Elder Tsofu definitely should have won. I mean, the details on those entries.

Not that I'm really complaining, mind you. :smalltongue: Winning is nice, after all. Just think it's rather surreal. O_o

Elder Tsofu: I'm looking forward to the next showdown. :smallamused:

[Fay Graydon]

Nothing this time?
:smallfrown:
ah well, easy come easy go...

EDIT:
*Snaps fingers*
I know where I'm going wrong! :smallannoyed:
I'm in the stage of not being good enough to compete against the likes of the Bathmaster9000 ¬.¬ and others, but I'm not allowed to partake of a rookie one >.<
