Iron Avatarist - OotS on Broadway!

[Roland St. Jude]

Welcome to...
Iron Avatarist

This Iron Avatarist contest will be judged by

(Ego Slayer/Vorpal Tribble/Hawkeye/Dark Corax/and maybe me)
(Final lineup subject to change - If any of you want to draw instead just let me know!)

Our theme this month is...
OotS On Broadway!

Showtunes anyone? Serious drama? In what may be the oddest IA theme yet, the theme of this contest is to draw the OOTS characters in theater related guises! Haley in Cats? Roy as Nathan Detroit? And don't forget those backstage crew (goblin teen gaffers? Thog work trapdoor?) Who knows what's going to happen, but the show must go on! (And any theatre production is fair game, but save film for another day.)

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 OotS Character in Character
Best OotS Character Off-Stage
Best Erf Character
Best Group (>1 Character = Group)

And, as always, the Best Overall award.

As usual, I'll be giving the jazz-handed Roland’s Choice Award to the avatarist's creation that most appeals to my, admittedly Fantasticks, 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.

(Nicked from the first conforming entry by Lyinginbedmon. Thanks!)

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 January 6, 2008 at Noon Eastern Standard Time.

If you don't mind my asking, what's with all the oots-specific IAs lately? I would've thought this could just as easily be Broadway/theatre in general...
(I mostly ask cuz I'm not so good at getting the oots characters just right, so these ones tend to put me at a bit of a disadvantage :smallredface:)

Whimsy, I guess. I hadn't really thought about it. Perhaps I'll use more open topics after this one.

[Trazoi]

I've never entered in one of these before, but I've been wanting to play around with stick figure art for a while so I'm eager to give it a go. Pity I'm not too knowledgeable about Boradway though; I may have to stick to the classics!

Since I'm new to this I'm a bit unfamiliar with the rules: are full comic strips acceptable, or just character concepts?

Yay for my first Iron Avatarist submission!

Edit:
And next up, Elan fighting Xykon with Roy dead off to the side, saying something along the lines of "Either you or I or both must "fall"-ow him!" A la Romeo and Juliet.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Well, there was a "Group Shot" of goblins working backstage... I'm certanly not going to go around changing the rules, but I'd like to say I always enjoy your work...

Try drawing whatever you want (you seem to have something in mind), then add or change a few details after the fact... Draw a Catgirl from "Cats," then change her hair to red-orange for Haley, or purple for V.

I can't even draw stick-figures. But I CAN admire other people's skills!

What I had in mind was actually all the classic musicals. So if you're familiar with any of those, you're in business. I'd think most people are more familiar with those than with what's currently on broadway.

As the name of the contest suggests, what we're really looking for is avatars. Avatar-sized pics play best. Or, if you think it needs to be slightly larger, okay. After that, the next most common (appropriate) are single scenes (especially useful when doing groups). Actual comics aren't really appropriate, though we see some from time to time. (I don't recall one ever winning anything, though.)

Sweet. Are we aiming for just musicals, or would classic stage based theatre okay (i.e. Shakespeare and so on)? Is opera okay?

I'm mainly interested in a full comic strip as I'm aiming to start a webcomic of my own sometime early next year and I need the practice; using characters I'm already familiar with seems like a good exercise :smallsmile:.

Anyway, I'd better get brainstorming. I'm eager to see what people come up with!

Any live theatre production is fair game.

One (hopefully) final note on category and such, I don't disqualify things. My standard practice is to let folks submit whatever they like and let the judges decide what does or doesn't meet their expectations (and fancies).

[Tomb_Raven]

since when is roland a mod?... or is my memory just bad?

~TR~

[onasuma]

Your memory is bad

[Serpentine]

Um... since always?

By the way, just thought I'd mention what a wonderful job you're doing, Roland. Good work :smallbiggrin:

[Tomb_Raven]

hmmm i swear i remember a time in times of yore where he wasnt... i think he got "promoted" to his gunslinger hood... just a month or two before i went on extended forum break... but time perception and correlation of events as to when they happened was never my strong point.

Wish i could compete this month... sadly its exams now... and then christmas. And during christmas no access to my pc :(

maybe ill get time to make an entry... i hope so...

anyway back to literaly last minuit revision... exam starts in 2 hours... wish me luck ^^ gonna need it.

For the record, I'd totally go see Star Wars the Interpretive Dance.

[Lissou]

Just for the record... I'm not really sure what musicals you have over there. I might do some musicals that we have here in France (and in French).
I'll always specify the name, though, and most of them are adapted from classics (Shakespeare, Hugo, St-Exupéry...) so it should be okay.

Actually, I think I'm going to work on the Little Prince now. ^_^

I had to read that book a couple years ago. My teacher said it was a lot deeper than it looks, I never got what was so special about it though. *Shakes fist angrily*

[Lissou]

I had to read that book a couple years ago. My teacher said it was a lot deeper than it looks, I never got what was so special about it though. *Shakes fist angrily*

Well, it's an allegory about friendship, love, and how people should stay kids because adults are absurd.
You should also keep in mind that it was written during WWII and the author was in the US, far from home, and that he wrote that books for a friend of his who was still living in occupied France.
If you didn't like it, they're probably nothing more to it that you can "get". I mean, you either like the book or you don't, it can't really be forced.
I personnally loved it, and I get new things from it each time I read it, so I'd say that yes, it's deeper than it looks at first glance.

And it seemed fitting with the OotS character :) Elan is childish like the Little Prince, Vaarsuvius is wise like the Fox, Roy has that protective side, like th Pilot, Haley hides her love because she's afraid, like the Rose (although she's not hiding it under vanity), Durkon is lawful like the Lamp-Lighter and, well, the Snake, as the only killer in the story, seemed fitting for Belkar :p

Nale would also be good for the self-absorbed adult, but I don't think I'd be able to fit the whole linear guild, be it only because there is only one female character in that story (if you excluide all the other roses, that are only there to show the Little Prince that although there are thousands of roses that look just like his, his is still unique)

Anyway, it seemed fitting. Sorry it reminded you of bad memories :p

[Surfing HalfOrc]

[Khosan]

Idea: The Shadow Waltz from 42nd Street, if that's not its real name, I'm not sure what is, but that's what we called it. Using either the Shadowdancer Assassin or the MitD. Or both.

I'll work on it.

[Serpentine]

I'm considering doing Brad and Janet from Rocky Horror Picture Show to go with Thog-N-Furter (no loves for :smallfrown:). I'm thinking Elan and Haley, or perhaps Roy and Celia, or maybe even Nale and Sabine. Thoughts?

[Keris]

I'd go with Roy and Celia for Brad and Janet, because that leaves Haley for Columbia, Nale and Sabine for Riff-Raff and Magenta, and you can still fit Durkon in as Doctor (Von) Scott... I wish I'd thought of that Rocky Horror Picture Show first...

[Serpentine]

Urm... Assuming for the moment I'm too lazy to do any others? After all, Thog isn't exactly the obvious choice for Frank-N-Furter... I just liked the idea :smallbiggrin:
Tell you what, I'll take Brad and Janet, and you can have the rest :smallwink:

That is the best work I´ve ever seen...You are a avatarist god.

[Trazoi]

Thanks - I sometimes get into a strange mood when working on cartoons and tend to throw my all into it.

Incidentally, I'm working completely in the open source vector art Inkscape which works a treat for avatars, and I'm happy to give any tips for other avatarists who want to learn Inkscape. I also see on this forum there's an avatar adoption thread; since everything is vector based it's a cinch to extract out any one character and repose them if anyone's interested. I've got plans to adopt Major General Thog as my avatar after this theme is over.

Edit: Just was thinking: Would anyone here like a beginner's tutorial on making OotS avatars with Inkscape? It's almost the weekend and I've been meaning to write another Inkscape tutorial for ages. If there's interest, I could base it on - say, Miko as a character in the Mikado (I'm open to other ideas) - and stick it up on the Internet in a few days. Anyone keen?

[Serpentine]

I believe there is one already, somewhere, but I'm sure it could handle having your eye run over it.

[Megalomaniac2]

Best fanart ever. But for the mercy of the Elder Gods, someone do OOTS Spamalot!

[Trazoi]

I believe there is one already, somewhere, but I'm sure it could handle having your eye run over it.
I've seen a few small adhoc tutorials as part of the Inkscape threads here but nothing too involved. I wrote a tutorial for making game sprites last year for another site called Inkscape Advetures (http://members.gamedev.net/trapperzoid/ia/index.html), but I never got further than making the first "create a green slime" exercise. It struck me while making that last cartoon that making an Order of the Stick avatar is the perfect fun way to learn how to use Inkscape, so I think I'll rejig the thing on the weekend and post a link here and in my signature.

How's the Rocky Horror Show going? :smallbiggrin:

[Serpentine]

Uh... good. Yeah, good.

I'm thinking I might do two versions, one with Haley and Elan and one with Roy and Celia, cuz I like the former but everyone else seems to like the latter... Also, I'm weak. No fist!

I agree Javert fits Miko very well, although I like Javert a lot more than I like Miko.

And the criminal he's chasing is an actual criminal, not an imaginary one.

No, thats the joke.

I think that's the joke.

((For those unfamiliar with the musical, Avenue Q is definitely adult-oriented, despite the use of puppets.))

I know it's a movie now, but my daughter saw Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street as a play in the eighth grade...

We've had a bit of a slowdown, probably due to the Christmas holidays.

[greecetrap]

I can just picture Belkar as Sweeney, obsessed with revenge and slitting people's throats. :D

Actually, I might just have to do that for myself.

Err, wait, is this still open?

[Crimmy]

It's still open

[Lyinginbedmon]

It's still open

Yup, right up until January 6, 2008 12 PM EST.

Yay! Thanks so much with the formatting help!

[Crimmy]

put the image first in a image host, and then put it in a spoiler box
to make a spoiler box, you must put this
insert neat image here

[Ego Slayer]

You're not really supposed to submit things in spoilers, y'know... so, best make the image a little smaller to avoid screen stretchage.

There. An actual musical one!

Edit: Just was thinking: Would anyone here like a beginner's tutorial on making OotS avatars with Inkscape? It's almost the weekend and I've been meaning to write another Inkscape tutorial for ages. If there's interest, I could base it on - say, Miko as a character in the Mikado (I'm open to other ideas) - and stick it up on the Internet in a few days. Anyone keen?

I would be.
Sounds like fun.


If for no other reason than I could get the MiTD doing Singing in the Rain.

Here's hoping no-one makes a competing entry within the next 3 hours!

[Roland St. Jude]

Contest Closed!

The next contest'll start soon and results of this one will be posted before the next contest closes. :smallsmile:

[Keris]

Should I pick up my "Best Erf" trophy now, or wait until the actual judging?:smalltongue:

[Crimmy]

I think you should wait just to avoid inconformity with the others.

[kpenguin]

So, how soon is soon?

[Keris]

Hopefully not too long... I want to make another last minute entry.:smalltongue:

[Dr. Bath]

:smalltongue: You stole my tactic!

I was just too lazy to do it for this contest.

[Dallas-Dakota]

New contest ´Villains´ is up, just thought to let ya know if ya didnt see it. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69021)

What do you mean character off stage?

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Is a winner ever going to be declared? Just asking, since I know I don't have a snowball's chance. Unless there is a category for the lamest...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the way it works is that the deadline for a final decision is the date the next contest closes.

If only someone had explained when to expect the results earlier in the thread! :smallsigh:

Also, what ^ said.

Yes, stole an idea for a contest that had closed before you even thought about competing.:smalltongue:

And I has a trophy!:smalltongue:

[Crimmy]

Well, i wanted to win, but you can't win 'em all, right?

Congrats to you all, and I still think trazoi should have won at least three trophies for the "Cats" group

Yes... For some reason I thought that this was the new Iron Avatar...
but then I looked at the dates and stuff.
And I had this all planned for when I got home: :smallfrown:

[Trazoi]

Wow, those trophies look pretty darn swish. Thanks for running the contest and those who put their time in to decide the winner, and to everyone who posted their art. Congrats to all the other winners too; there was some great stuff posted, and it's very inspiring to try and improve yourself.

It's a pity I didn't get to enter this month's contest, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next one.
