A contest?! Gasp!

But seriously, the purpose of this contest is twofold. Firstly is to get people drawing! Secondly, is to provide content for the Hamsterspeak Magazine, run by Surlaw. Go read some of it if you haven't yet! The rules of this contest are VERY simple:

(1) Choose a scene from ANY OHRRPGCE game, then illustrate it using whatever medium you choose. It doesn't matter whether you use traditional art tools such as paper and pen, or go digital with your work, so long as you follow this rule.

(2) Post your image to this thread! It's that simple!

(3) Your artwork must conform to the already extremely lenient art forum rules, posted here: http://www.castleparadox.com/ohr/viewtopic.php?p=43900#43900 If you're not sure whether what you have is okay to post, go ahead and contact me through a PM, or through AIM.

At the end of each month (as this contest will be ongoing like the avatar contest), voting will be open to the community to decide which three entries are THE BEST of the lot. Then, those three will be submitted to Surlaw for the magazine! So begin creating art from your favorite scenes in OHRRPGCE games, and earn the respect and admiration of your peers!

To get things rolling, here's a scene from Vikings of Midgard, showing the Ranger about to face down the Black Cloud of the forest, Shub-Niggurath. It was done on 8.5 x 5.5 inch cardstock paper with .7 mm pen.

This is Wolf going up against three UniBlocks without buying any equipment(in Wolf's Quest). In other words, he's doomed.

I'm losing this hands down, especially since I think everyone elses' pictures are better than mine.

I'll just put in my top four, and if my #1 is ineligible then the rest go up one rank.

1. Frumpy McFrump - Kenecchi
2. Knight vs the Slime King - Fortis
3. Crucial Destiny Scene - AdrianX
4. Styrge vs Niggurath - Fenrir-Lunaris
