That's right! following on from the resounding success of the 'Hottest GUY/GIRL' competitions I am suggesting an Art Competition. To start with competitiors should post their entrees here, then there will be a seperate poll (or manual hand count if more than 10 entrees) to determine the winner.

Competitors are allowed to submit one art. An art will be a picture of something you have created: this could be an MS-paint drawing, a photo of a sculpture you've made, a scan of something you've drawn. So long as the art is submitted as a picture it doesn't matter how you made it. (I personally hope to see some lego sculptures, but that's just me).
The subject matter can be anything you want. So get going guys...

Rules:
*Nothing that would break the rules of this forum
*Nothing overly massive.

Oh yeah if can submit the picture as a PNG/JPEG/GIF as opposed to a BMP it would be helpfull.

If you need time to prepare your art then just post saying that you will enter to make sure the comp doesn't close without you.

--Hosts--
Note you do not have to use these, but if you don't have an image host then you could give em a try:

Your hottest guy/girld threads sure were a lot more popular.

That's certainly true, this has bombed faster than er...something bombing quickly

Can someone give me the URL of a good image hoster?

:D That is nicely put!

See my deviantART site:

I'll pick out something from those and post it. I have paintings and stuff like that but will you also accept photography?

Looking good so far everyone, however I can't see a couple of them:

Swimmingpool - there's nothing there.
Trilateral Commission - AngleFire doesn't allow remote linking of images, so although you can see it, others can't.
Soviet Haaregrad - get a 'page cannot be found error'.

Hot damn! "La La Le Love" is incredible!

can I submit collages of pictures taken from movies?

Hrm, I dunno if this counts. It was done with a broken camera and The Gimp.

Sure, anything that can be submitted as a picture (JPEG/GIF/PNG/BMP etc) counts.

I like this one better (http://img176.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img176&image=desktop8hp.gif)

but I think this one is done better (http://img177.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img177&image=nats24zp.gif)
so if I can't submit two, the second is my choice

Yeah, I think it's only fair if we keep it down to one entry per person, which reminds me; Schultaria Prime which one are you subbmitting? "Dehydration in the Valley" or "Red Rock"?

I suppose I could submit some of my photo-edity stuffs.
Here's two:

EDIT: Oh yeah, if anybody thinks it is unfair me entering (since I am running the comp) then say so and I will gracefully pull out of the running.

Huzzah for random cheese-weirdness!

...And this as a side thing, just 'cause it's cute.

Thanks v much! Yeah, I got that photo back from the developer and thought "wtf? I don't remember taking that!" but I was happy with it.

To my knowledge you are not judging, so I don't see anything wrong with you entering.

Anyone got an opinion on mine?

here mine

I'll put a better one up when my scanner feels like working

You really should try watercolours, ProMonkians. That looks like crayon to me, and I am just not a fan of those at all. But watercolours have fairly similar effects, but turn out oh so much better.

Yeaarg! I need to get a scanner. I'll try and find a way to get my stuff up.

I recently drew a rendition of what I though Five Civilized Nations looks like. Woo!

You've got a good eye, it is crayon. I tried watercolour before but I found the colours would bleed into each other, and it takes along time to get to grips with. Also watercolours are very expensive, where as crayons are very,very cheap. Plus I get to play with crayons! YAY! :D

Hmm, one of my comics....

http://rsh.dabu4u.com/comics/comics/episode4.gif I like this one although it mainly used the same images...and the 'spam' advert is not mine.
http://rsh.dabu4u.com/comics/comics/episode5.gif My longest and hardest. It took forever as each guild needs doing individually.

Done for my RuneScape Hall forum, so lots of inside jokes though :)

This contest is truly sad, sorry but I kinda had to say it. Oh well, hi all. :)

Could you guys tell me which one of your pics you are entering? If not I will assume it is the last one to be posted.

Can you actually be bothered to say why? I thought not.
