Our theme this month is...
Order of Cthulhu

My name is Roy Greenhilt. I was born in the Northern Lands, eldest of two children in our family manor. I felt, in my youth, an urge to adventure, and fulfill a legacy left to me by my departed father, a scholar of great depth of thought. I brought together a group of like minds. Had I known the horrors that awaited I'd have never included them in this venture. My nerve has left me until I cannot at times even grasp my quill, let alone my ancestral weapon. I must rid myself of these dread memories that plague my sleep with unconscious madness. Perhaps, once transferred to paper, these images will leave my mind. They will then be burned. If that is insufficient to bring me peace, perhaps I will cast myself into the flames next...


Note: If you are not familiar with the Cthulhu Mythos, aberrations, elder evils, the unnatural, and figures and scenes of madness and insanity are perfectly acceptable.

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

Categories
There will be a First through Third place award for each of the following:

Best Eldritch Avatar (anything roughly avatar size)
Best OoC Avatar (as above, but OotS based)
Best Aberration (any unnatural creature)
Best Cyclopean Scene (anything larger than above)
Best Rookie Entry (only applicable to those who have never entered these competitions before)
And, as always, the Best Overall award.

I'll also voice my opinion on which entry is the most kick-awesome in the form of a VT's Choice Award, which may be anything that tickles my fancy or was shamelessly tailored to my tastes (I approve of shamelessessness).

Rules

1. All entries must be posted by the stroke of Midnight on Halloween night, Eastern Standard Time.

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

3. Every entry must include an itallic introduction as to what your entry is.

For example:
Best Cyclopean Scene
The Opening of the Necronimicon

4. Do not use spoilers. It makes the judge's job that much harder, and they may do you harm.

5. Only the avatarist who created the avatar may submit it.

6. Please do not quote images. The entry/name will suffice.

Good luck!

[Lord Raziere]

Fools, I already have a picture worthy for this one.

Best Aberration
The Empty One
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk25/Trizap/TheEmptyOne.png

For context: Remember the Mayhem Mind in the previous Iron Avatarist? THIS is the antithesis of that: It believes in absolutely no idea, feels no emotion, only works towards nihilism because it is its nature to do so and emits an miasma that is basically anti-magic and a universal sterilizer of all life energy, belief, meaning and idea. It is nothing but an omnipotent shell, that is nothing but an endless void inside. It is The Empty One.

[Szilard]

Why are so many Iron Avatarists fit for mindflayers? Too bad I've already used all of mine. :smallannoyed::smalltongue:

[Domochevsky]

Cthulhu... i never really got into that stuff, (It's fish, people!) but i think i can work with this. :smallamused:

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Dude, Domo's going to walk away with this. His style is pretty much scientifically designed for it. Do you know how much I have to go through to make one tentacle?

......

Maybe I can do Piranhacon. He's got a man-squid for an arm.

Oooh, Quintessons!

[Serpentine]

I'll judge in this one.

[Zexion]

I can judge! :smallsmile:

[Mr_Saturn]

Is judging on a first come first served basis? Can I judge? :smallredface::smallconfused:

[The Vorpal Tribble]

*pulls Serp, Zexion and Saturn on up to the Judge's Couch*


Cthulhu... i never really got into that stuff, (It's fish, people!) but i think i can work with this. :smallamused:
Title is more to get folks in the mindset. Just insanity and the unnatural in any form, mental to physical, is good to go.


Is judging on a first come first served basis? Can I judge?
Sure thing. Serpentine and Oblivion always get first picks, but other than that, usually first five to volunteer.

[Szilard]

Can I judge too?

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Can I judge too?
Sure thing. Which avatar you want to use?

And that's the last judge.

[Serpentine]

Sure thing. Serpentine and Oblivion always get first picks, but other than that, usually first five to volunteer.Swoot. I are thpeshul :smallbiggrin:

[Lord_Gareth]

I look forward to seeing this contest take place.

[Quincunx]

Cthulhu... i never really got into that stuff, (It's fish, people!). . .

"Don't you know what tuna is?!?! . . .

It's fish!:sigh:
I couldn't feed Pudge a tuna sandwich--
it'd be an abomination!"

. . .or, given the context of the contest, was it "I'd be an abomination!"?

[Ranger Mattos]

I have no idea what to do for this one. I'll figure something out, though.

[Ignition]

I've got ideas for this one! Sweet, two competitions in a row I've got ideas for :smallbiggrin:

I'll work on this over the weekend, most likely.

[Oblivion]

Swoot. I are thpeshul :smallbiggrin:

Me too! :smallredface: :smallbiggrin:

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Swoot. I are thpeshul

Me too!
Y'all are m'girls, like Charlie's Angels, except there's just two of you, and you wear lampshades and scales instead of tight pants.


I have no idea what to do for this one. I'll figure something out, though.
There's a hundred aberrations in the various Monster Manuals :smallwink:

I might do that bird morph screw up Marco and David both did. You know the one :smallamused:

[licoot]

is it to late for me to be a judge, i was away last week so I couldn't ask

[Mina Kobold]

Once I get a picture done I'll have submitted for two Iron Avatarist contests.

Time flies, doesn't it?

Which incidentaly makes it very difficult to catch :p

[The Vorpal Tribble]

is it to late for me to be a judge, i was away last week so I couldn't ask
If one of the other judges aren't really set on the position and would give it up to you that'd be fine.

Have a month to see if any will drop out or abdicate.

[licoot]

also, seeing as neither me nor kpenguin are judges this month whose gonna make the trophies, as we were going to alternate who did them

[Zexion]

also, seeing as neither me nor kpenguin are judges this month whose gonna make the trophies, as we were going to alternate who did them
I'll make some. :smallsmile:

[licoot]

I'll make some. :smallsmile:

:smallfrown: i was really looking forward to making some

[The Vorpal Tribble]

You're right, you did. Hmm.

I tried to locate the post but lost it. Which of you decided to do which month?



I'll make some :smallsmile:
If the offer will still be there next month will definitely take you up on that, Zexion, but this month's artist has already been determined.

Would you mind waiting until next month to judge (and make trophies if willing) while Licoot judges this month's?

[Zexion]

:smallfrown: i was really looking forward to making some
Well, you can make some too. :smallconfused:

[licoot]

I tried to locate the post but lost it. Which of you decided to do which month?


He was last month, I was this month

Well... I really wanted to judge this competition... :smallfrown:

[licoot]

Well... I really wanted to judge this competition... :smallfrown:

If it helps I could stand down as a judge for this month and just make trophies, I'm sure that would work

[Zexion]

If it helps I could stand down as a judge for this month and just make trophies, I'm sure that would work
That sounds good to me.

[licoot]

That sounds good to me.

to be honest its VT's decision though, after all he puts the whole thing together

[Derjuin]

This will be fun - I'm sure some of the ones entered in the previous contest could technically count for this one, but making more is the fun part... :smallbiggrin:

[Maximum Zersk]

Haha! Yes, I'm going to do something for this contest!

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Well... I really wanted to judge this competition... :smallfrown:
I apologize, Zexion, but IA trophy makers get first pick (which Serpentine and Oblivion have been for many years).

If you and Licoot wish to switch out, you judge, he draws this month, and next you draw and he judges, that would be acceptable to me.

I'll let you two discuss it, though please not over the IA thread.

The Vok
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b381/AlmightyStriker/OotSAvatars/OtherVisitors.png

Back in the early days of the Cybertronian race, Primus allowed his children to reproduce via 'budding'. When this process was re-adopted by the armies of the Liege Maximo, it had an unintended, secondary effect--the Swarm, which swarmed about and consumed all life in a desperate bid to 'complete itself.' The Swarm, finally defeated by the Matrix, may or may not have depending on who you ask become the Vok, set up prehistoric Earth as an energon-rich experiment, made stone henge and a bunch of references to the Illuminati, and declared war on a bunch of filthy cybertronians who had the gall to show up and start killing each other in the Vok's petri dish.

*cough* Yeah I only got the first half of that from TFWiki. I never read early 90's comics! I was a toddler! But the Vok made their impression during Beast Wars, yep yep!

.....

I had an idea (several), and it'd be real cool, but I don't think I can pull off my "Project Glub". I may have to settle with "Project Ogle"

No worries, Licoot, if you feel you need to lie down we can always bring back Zexion for this month.

Both judging and trophy making is pretty strenuous afterall, dunno how Oblivion did it for so long. Then again, she is always wearing a lampshade and attacking windmills, so there are obviously side-affects to the position...

How long did it take you to make that awesomeness?!?!

Well, it took an hour or two to make the first version. Then I heard VT whispering in the back of my mind, urging me to make one horrific alteration to my art. So I spent ~30 minutes polishing it, adding the frame, the doll, his tail, adjusting the letters, and about 1 minute making that change.
I still keep thinking of new ways to improve it, so it might get a bit more work done on it.

[Mr_Saturn]

Idea! Someone draw chimera mash-ups! Take it beyond the Owl-bear and the duck-snake, and depict the makings of a serpentine tribble, or a szilard saturn!

Hahahaha. Doesn't mean I'll necessarily vote for it. But it would be funny. If it's high quality work, then I'll be a lot more inclined to vote for it though.

Although I think multi-headed monstrosities with the claws of a tiger and a body of a leprechaun(totally random) seems like cool fodder to work with.


p.s. Hahaha, I don't actually have to draw these, all the work is on the avatarists. =O

The reason they fused the owl with the bear is because the bear is almost entirely blind whereas the owl can see stuff.

Also you can expect the trophies in the next few days i've just got to dig up the files and make sure everything's done

I don't want to annoy anyone I just ask cause we are all human(as far as I know) and humans tend to forget sometimes.

It's really my fault for driving licoot mad. Sorry guys. :smallwink:

Alright, winners have been added on post 2 here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9459042#post9459042).

My sincerest thanks to the judges, and to Licoot who volunteered his time as trophy maker during the busiest season. The trophies will be added as he is able.

Oh, and btw, Licoot, we totally planned your whole psychotic episode together via messages. Hope that helps with your mental recovery :smallwink:

Thanks for being such a good sport. We'll send flowers.

Aww, I didn't win anything. Maybe on this current one.

But perhaps I should start entering more than one entry per IA.

[Domochevsky]

VT, you forgot to put numbers on the entries. I presume they're in order though.

(Whazzat... second place for Cyclopean Scene and first place Overall? I dig it. :smallsmile: )

Wow, didn't expect to win in this one, competition too tough. Not that I am going to give back my cool Trophy :smallwink:

Thanks Judges! (and VT)
