Oddly enough, I vote for alex3 for digital. (I'm not going to vote in the other cat.s)
Gnarly Charlie's is very technically proficient, but there's something charming about alex3's.

My suggestion was to post the pictures themselves, not the links.
That would probably take up much too much space - especially since some of the photos are pretty huge. It's more economic to just add links.

I compare them by having each picture in a separate tab and flipping between them all. :bee:

I'm not sure it's possible with the system smashboards uses, but I know that with html, you can force pictures to a certain width in the coding, rather than having to alter the picture itself.
Alternatively, you could ask that pictures remain under _ x _ proportions so that they're easier posted. (Maybe not every submitter knows how to do that though.)

Right. That's what I did as well... after you told me that they were posted. Links just don't attract as much attention and with so much going on. . . you know.

It's whatever. I'd resize the pictures manually if I ran the thread, but then I tend to only participate in one thread at a time and it ends up sucking up too much time at that. (Stupid perfectionism.) Do what you want though. Now that I realize they're there, I'm fine.

You pretty much echo the ideas I had for the thread, should I had run it, as well. If it wasn't possible through coding on Smashboards I was just gonna host everyone's entries on imageshack or somewhere and use the thumbnails from that. I'd stick them up top on the first post as well, just so it's the first thing everyone sees (people are lazy sometimes, don't want to scroll down to the second post :p )


EDIT: Let's play around with it:

<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/download/138151113/SQUIRTLE_SQUAD_by_Mit_Man.jpg"><img src="http://www.deviantart.com/download/138151113/SQUIRTLE_SQUAD_by_Mit_Man.jpg" width="200"></a>

<b>aww no HTML?</b>

Looks like we'd either need a bbcode mod or the thumbnails would have to be created manually or through a service like imageshack. Ah well.

Good job everyone!

Edit again: Lol Meno I just had an idea. Active artists on this thread should go into that chat thing like we did with all of the peaches and use the sketchpad :p It would be fun to see what people who are actually good at art would create lol.

So

Think we're gonna start a new week up? :)
Seriously. I thought when Meno said it was coming back, that meant people'd be drawing stuff. I've come to Smashboards every day for a week waiting for the new character. I'm not even that good... I just thought it'd be fun.

People have had months to vote. Most of the categories only have one or two submissions. I'm not sure why we're still waiting.

I'll visit the thread once more- tomorrow, and if we're still waiting for people to start coming to this zombie thread for no apparent reason other than to convince the OP that it's time to update it, I won't be bothering to return.

Seeing as how there's probably a lot lower turnout than Meno desired, it might make voting seem more worth it to just abandon the categories altogether and do first, second, third.
I think that'd make it more fun for everyone.

Alright. I'm out. I hate being the critic, but jeez... all he had to post was "okay, draw Ganondorf" or something. Three words would have made me content. . .
Right now, despite being obvious hyperbole, the title of the thread screams desperation. I'm sure that's attracting all the new attention the thread 'need's (read: sarcasm).

In the interest of not being a complete pr**k, I'll refrain from starting a new thread. But someday I just may be back (Mwahahahaha. . .?). But, hopefully someone else will have taken initiative before then.

Rest in peace, zombies.

Also, are we still gonna do weeks?

Seems like we should switch them to "rounds" or something :p Who knows if we'll be able to keep these contained within a week's time.

I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get something done for Snake. I don't really have any ideas, and I don't have much time either :\ I don't have too much motivation for him anyways, though.

Apparently, printer/scanners work much better when the usb plug isn't put in upside down -.-

Anywho, i managed to draw a little something. I lacked pencils so it's hand-drawn in pen.



If you couldn't tell it's supposed to be indiana jones on the left. =P I screwed up his eyes and body but i couldn't really edit it much. If I manage to get pencils before the deadline i'll redraw this and make it look a little better.

hey.

heres my unfinished drawing



heres it "finished



After the world was split into two, East and West, Snake unleashes the spirit of snakes to combat a cave demon and it's massive claws.

References: Crab Battle. Lupe Fiasco - Failure.
*I was happy with the way black and white snake/snakes turned out. Hate the rest :/
*Yes, that is a red arbok and a sort of Mr. Crabs

This is digital (obviously) :laugh:. And apologies for the tiny size- Photobucket doesn't like resizing my image larger.

I used Old Snake to be different. I was actually considering of just drawing a building and saying Snake's hiding inside of it, but decided to actually draw Snake. This was more of a test of using the Pen Tool, but I think it turned out decent for a first try using it for an actual picture.

I may also colour it in, but I may not. It'd look nicer coloured, but it would take time, and I'd probably screw it up.

That is an epic 5 color drawing!

That Mr. Krabs Reference seems to me looks like a Hybrid MOAR KRABS!

Nyeah, shee... Heer's tha plan, shee...
Oh, man! I left right when we got to the one I was REALLY waiting for! Maybe what I'm doing is thread necromancy-- it has been a month-- but I wanna at least TRY to get this back up-- The pictures so far are awesome, so I think this round should at least be finished... I'll try to get a Snake picture in, too.

So, um, if anyone's still out there... Let's atleast finish this up, right!?

EDIT: Okay, here's a little Snake picture I drew a long time ago, but I still really like how it turned out. I might not be elligible for the contest, but... No harm in trying!


Of course... this is MGS1 Snake, but hey, whatevs...

Loool I just remembered this thread as well. If I survive finals I think I'm gonna whip something up for Snake. I'll finally have time to do so.
