Welcome to...
Iron Avatarist

Undead Contest

This Iron Avatarist contest will be judged by

(Sneak/Tin Soldier/Vorpal Tribble/Hawkeye/Roland)

This week's theme is...
Undead

That's right! You will be drawing avatars (in the OotS style) of the creatures from beyond the grave. If it's undead, it's fair game. And don't forget to dress up the OotS characters!

And, of course, there is going to be a First through Third place of the following:

Best Undead Avatar
Best Group (>1 Being = Group)
Best OotS Character as Undead
Best OotS Group as Undead
Best Erfworld Avatar (Either Undead in Erfworld style or Erfworld Character as Undead)

There can be only one…Best Overall award.

And, of course, the Roland’s Choice Award will go to the avatarist's creation that most appeals to my, admittedly ridiculous, 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:
Best Undead
Elan as Animated Sheet/Ghost

(Image by DarkCorax nicked from the Adoption Center Thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26936))

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 completed by Saturday, January 14th at Noon Eastern Standard Time. (A month long contest! Woot!)

'Cause I'm warped! Warped, I tells ya!

(Really for three reasons. First, because the last contest was all typical frozen, wintery goodness (as much as possible without invoking actual holidays.) Second, it was chosen for much the same reason the current Design Contest (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29213) is the way it is - to create a wide open field that could generate lots of entries. Third, I like the cognative dissonance of such things!)

Now less question-y and more draw-y! :smallwink:

Just a reminder since this may have some overlap with our recent Halloween Contest...


...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.

Remember, if you've submitted it before to an Iron Avatar contest, you can't re-submit it now! Thanks!


((Not sure if this counts, because it's a remake of an avatar already entered in an IA competition))

Dispozition: Your entry is fine. That D:Half-Vampire is very different from your Halloween entry (the pose, the hair, the fact that there is a horse now!). It's fine.

Bill: I don-
Frank: Well its not! You see Bill, Santa Clause is a wizard!
Bill: A wha-
Frank: Thats right! A wizard! But not just any wizard, but a lich! Yes, thats how hes lives so long! He made a phylactery, put his very soul in it, and lived on!!
Bill: Frank, wiz-
Frank: And being a wizard, that explains why hes so fat! Always sitting on his butt, reading his books!
Bill: Fran-
Frank: That also explains how he is able to travel around the world, delivering presents to every house on the planet! He uses magic!!

@ Tomb Raven:

I believe you submitted the first two avatars in the Halloween Contest as well, so I'm afraid you'll have to take these out.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i119/Dispozition/UndeadPriest.gif


Actually this has lots of signifigance. I was running a campaign where a priest of Pelor, was converted by means of a magical object into a lich. He then proceeded to trick to PCs into bringing Vecna (the owner of the magical item) to the Material realm. It was all crazy stuff about how Nerull was going to destroy Vecna and have total control over evil, and wipe out everone else. And we somehow needed Vecna to travel to different resricted planes so he could attack Nerull and force him to recall his legions. But none of that was true, and the campaign ended before I could make things interesting, cause I decided to move everything online. Ok enough of me bantering.

Anyway, Thanks everyone who loves War. (oh that's funny if taken out of context) I love positive feedback and those who bear it. :smallbiggrin:

There are good quotes if taken out of context. But thanks and stuff!

If anyone want to try, i suggest this one, i won't made it because i think i can't draw it as well as it deserve it.

The Last Christmas #5 (Image; by Caleb) In which Santa Claus and his elves use machine guns and tree ornament-shaped bulbs to finish off the marauders and zombies in what is unarguably the very best ultra-violent Christmas story of the week. Writers Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn have made Santa into one hell of a bad-ass action hero. As long as one child believes in him, he can’t die, making him a nigh unstoppable killing machine! The art by Rick Remender and Hilary Barta is perfectly suited to the subject matter, which is no small feat considering the Jekyll-and-Hyde nature of said subject matter.

I was looking at my CDs trying to find some good music to listen too, and all of a sudden I saw Motorhead and said to myself that's a Wow. I think I'll transform that into Fangor, The god of Death. I'm fairly pleased with the result.

Otherwise you miss some details, like the nose ring. I think I might post the full sized version of War too, although he didn't loose to much in the transition to Avvie size

Psst. Death. That looks like a really good Erfworld Avatar. Prehaps you meant to put that instead. :smallwink: (even if you didn't intend to, I think it might be a good move)

Edit: I'd like to suggest that you change it from best avatar to best Oots style avatar.(if that's the case) It seems everyone does that anyway, but it might make everything a bit clearer.

Slightly more on-topic, nice of you to say so about my smelly horrible nasty Appleworks Paint. I think. Don't know how good it is for a computer program to look like pencils... BUT ANYWAYS, thankee. Alas, 'twill be my last submission in this one no doubt, as I lose access to the internet on a computer of my own. I'll still be able come and admire though. Who's next? I'd quite like to see a shadow, or maybe the epitome of awesome-cool vampiriness. Anybody?

Aww, look what you people have done. He already had some emotional problems and now you're laughing at him and his hat, and calling him a buckethead. All he wanted to is to entertain you.

I hope you're happy now. :smallfrown:

Not "a buckethead", but Buckethead the guitarist.

And by the way, sorry for being so off-topic. Just though it needed stating.

Select layer you want to be made transparent. Right click. Add new layer mask. Initialize with white (full opacity). Right click on layer again. Make sure 'edit layer mask' is checked. Select 'show layer mask.' Select paint bucket tool. Move transparency to whatever level you want. Fill on screen. Uncheck 'show layer mask' and 'edit layer mask'.

EDIT: Also, the color you use with the fill tool should be black.

They are posted here on or before the day the next contest closes. (We're currently running month-long IA contests, so it could be a month - or less.) :smallcool:

Well...There goes another contest in which I win nothing...I think I'm beginining to see why I don't bother with them much anymore...

Good work everyone who won, and all those who didn't as well.

@Roland: Is there any chance I might be able to judge in the next contest...The one after the animated inanimate object one?
