Quick question!

What if you were drawing a boss that comes in segments, like De Rol Le or Barba Ray? Would you draw a bunch of circles? I can see how you would draw a stick dragon or something, but some of the bosses would be really difficult to put in generic stick form.

I seriously want to take a shot at this contest, so I don't want my entry rejected just because I wasn't clear on the rules. o_o;

[polishedweasel]

W00t!!

[Uncle_bob]

*cough* Care to elaborate on "Oh my head!"?

[Butoden]

I think this contest is going to rule. I like stickmens, I made some fun art with Stickmen before, but for another game. I'm sure I can make a FANTASTIC set of Stickmen-Art

[TheAlmightyNewbie]

so can we have stick weapons too? Or would that go under "characters cannot have anything else on them", thus leaving us with unarmed characters?

[navci]

w00t w00t! This seems fun.

Question tho. You can compaign yourself in your sig in Fresh Kill but nowhere else, meaning you will have to have a sig seperate for Fresh Kill? How do you do that??

[Gam]

Are weapons allowed? It's easy to get a saber out of a singel line and how about the detail I guess a little is O.K., right?

[Logical2u]

I'm in.
...
... Legits vs Hackzorz
...
And now, off to play Halo.

for that very simplified forms will work, but remember, keep it simplified! like very very!

it's not an all out fan art contest, it's a stickman fan art contest, and creativity and problem soliving is part of it!

as said above, categories are open to what you make of it.

weapons are allowed and the rendering of them are up to you, but characters themselves are stickmen. they don't need to be simplified.

Question tho. You can compaign yourself in your sig in Fresh Kill but nowhere else, meaning you will have to have a sig seperate for Fresh Kill? How do you do that??

your sig is fine for universal use, individual "promotion" threads and posts are only allowed in fresh kills.

hope you guys have fun with this one. we tried to make it as fun as possible and as fair as possible for the people who aren't art masters. good luck guys!
