There's tons of cool WIP's in the challenge thread.

Besides, maybe people are just taking their time so they get it just *perfect* for one of their favorite challenges.

I don't know if this is a big vacation week or it's just me, but I don't see many entries posted to the gallery or in the cue yet.  There's usually a few by now.  I know there's still a lot of time, but I was hoping for a lot since this is almost the coolest challenge ever.  Maybe I'm just a little concerned.  I want to see some of these things...lol

My flipping external hard drive has collapsed on me. I can no longer access the entry I was working on and have presumably lost it. :( Was looking pretty cool as well. Very very frustrating. Annoyed! That's one competition I couldn't enter because I didn't read the rules properly and another I lost the work for.

Bah.


Dr D (Level 2 Kukyu) at 5/19/2009 11:30:34 AM

Maybe. :O

And yes it is an awesome challenge. The first I might enter in which I don't care if I I'm a big fat loser. =[

(I don't like green ribbons.)

Glad someone found it worth a smile ;) I challenge someone to draw the creature I placed as non-humanoid!

No furries.

@jiipm: Read the definition of a humanoid from wikipedia (which IS btw linked in the challenge post).

Simply put, anything that reminds you of a human is banned.

If you still don't understand, I drew you a complex diagram [LINK TO IMG].


jiipm (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/19/2009 4:59:55 AM

This, sir, is AWESOME! As lollige implied, please give a definition of a non-humanoid?


sharprm (Level 4 Deputy) at 5/18/2009 4:35:18 PM

 The creatures Chuck Norris forgot to kill ...


TheInquisitor (Level 2 Kukyu) at 5/18/2009 11:18:11 AM

Nice idea, this one. No need to draw willies or anything. I'm without my precious graphics tablet this week and will be awfully busy, but I'm hoping that I can get something done in time. It's such a fun contest and gives so much freedom that's it's one I'd get a kick out of entering.


tripnfelt (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 5/18/2009 8:42:20 AM

I'm a lil' concerned about how people will depict the genders >__<,

I might try this one, unrestricted colors are kinda my thing.


Hegni (Level 1 Rookie) at 5/18/2009 6:54:10 AM

Cool challenge! 


Reo (Level 11 Sensei) at 5/18/2009 5:49:25 AM

I agree with the rest of the guys great challenge!


Kyata (Level 2 Quiet One) at 5/18/2009 4:14:34 AM

Great! I love creating my own creatures.

I remember I've hold a contest with almost the exact same rules, now I can join one. :D


hordus (Level 1 Depressed) at 5/18/2009 2:38:05 AM

I just like this one =D

the size of the window is just perfect =D


Elk (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 5/18/2009 1:27:53 AM

Neat challenge!


ThereIsNoCure (Level 11 Godfather) at 5/18/2009 1:12:12 AM

This is the coolest challenge ever.


Quake (Level 2 Hired Gun) at 5/18/2009 12:32:03 AM

so, no humans?

;p and i think this i the best challenge for around a month ;]


Lollige (Level 11 Psychopath) at 5/18/2009 12:29:55 AM

Heh, nice title!

I think I understand, but to prevent problems (like on the scene thing), how about writing a bit about what your definition of humanoid is?
