Wow, I finally made the EGA-egads connection. Took me almost a week to notice that (actually, even longer as I could see this challenge in the moderators' challenge queue before it started)

Dammit again! A great challenge. I've got a decent concept and I've begun to like the EGA palette, but I fear I won't be sober enough this week to participate. Again...

My bad stick, I now know it was surt that came up with this. Clerical error

Websters says Egads is similar to saying "Oh God". Just make a scene where the caption "OH MY GOD" would be appropriate.

As Ails says in the forums...

"Just pixel a scene where the character is like "oh my god!", or just a scene that the title could be "oh my god!", but replaced with "Egads!"; but the word itself may or may not be on the final art"

Stickman (Level 5 Detective) at 6/15/2009 10:09:55 AM

Not one of my creations I'm afraid:)

I have a strong feeling that it's definitely what Larwick says though....


Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 6/15/2009 9:41:53 AM

Just think of 'holy shit!' while making it.


jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 6/15/2009 9:27:12 AM

Sorry about that double canvas size.

ps: This challenge is a bit old and we've lost track of its creator. If you were the creator please PM me, thx.

Stickman, any canvas with max. restriction.


surt (Level 10 Maniac) at 6/15/2009 3:28:27 AM

Yes, where's a fist shaking emoticon when you need one?


Stickman (Level 5 Detective) at 6/15/2009 3:16:32 AM

It says "Canvas Size - Max 320 (width) x 200 (height)."

and then it says "Canvas Size - Any"

...which one is it?
