So ok here goes:

Anyone interested - send me Halloween picture in a PM by...er...31 October 2008....

I promise to do a better job than the Eater Comp now that I know what Im sorta doing.

Rules:

Theme = Halloween
Pic can be in any format the forum supports

Competition closes: 31 October - your time. Then I will put any entries up in a poll to be voted on.

So get sketchin! :razz:

Woop, looking forward to this one. :biggrin:

Thread Stickied :razz: Get sketching, Sketchers!

Urgh.. Morning sickness. The last thing I needed to see was a pumpkin vomit.. :cry:

Alright, I know I was supposed to do the "Eater" comp but didn't, I will do this one even though I'm not a Halloween fan... hand drawings accepted once scanned? I think it defeats the purpose of being an iSketcher but I don't care :razz:

Loved the puking pumpkin btw :razz:

Heh that pumpkin made me chuckle too.

I'm guessing we just post the pictures on this thread.

Tssk, learn to read :P Saffy said to PM them to her. She'll then create a poll showing the images and hopefully with no names showing this time so we vote for our favourite. It has to be anony a mouse, that's why we can't post it here ourselves :)

Tssk, learn to read :P

Oops, sorry completely missed that.

Ahhh, good idea Saff. I shall try.

:( i got insulted last time i joined a competition like this.... dunno if i wanna again...

:( i got insulted last time i joined a competition like this.... .
Whoa really? :cry:

the "Eater" comp eep, failed already :cry:

... hand drawings accepted once scanned? This is fine - Ive never scanned an image but I assume it converts to a standard image file type? - so long as it's supported on the forum, its good :biggrin:

She'll then create a poll showing the images and hopefully with no names showing this time so we vote for our favourite. Yes. This is how it is intended to work :embarrassed:

:( i got insulted last time i joined a competition like this.... dunno if i wanna again...

Perhaps they were jealous you could draw so well. If it's the Easter one, I thought yours was pretty good.

/hug

awww, i loved yours stormy :D and you won too :) tsk, they should've given you a prize.

/me hugs stormy back :) <3

and nahh, they thought i would never be able to draw like that so they accused me of getting the pic off the internet instead of drawing it :( phooey. i can so draw. and i'll join in this competition XD if i can finish the pic on time...

It has to be anony a mouse, that's why we can't post it here ourselves :)

Unless the photobucket image has been named with a username again like in the Easter comp - "jenn.jpg" xD

At least we don't have to draw animals. I can't draw animals to save my life. I can't draw very well at all actually :sad:

* db1986 draws stick people...

yeah, that was unfair. but i bet that people would be able to recognize my pic XD and nh isnt allowed to tell, cause he knows what mine'll look like. -_-

Not unless you have the same drawing style as me Jen. Actually, yours will be much better than mine.

Also, hopefully the same thing won't happen as in the Easter one where lot's of people say they'll enter but then only 2 people do...

lol hopefully XD im just annoyed at the fact that nh is entering. :P

At least we don't have to draw animals. I can't draw animals to save my life. I can't draw very well at all actually :sad:

* db1986 draws stick people...


Awwwww:(
/me hugs db and his stick people

Unless the photobucket image has been named with a username again like in the Easter comp - "jenn.jpg" xD
Yeah but I guess Saff can just save the images herself and perhaps load them onto her own photobucket with appropriate names or numbers. I'm sure she loves us too much to just refer to us as numbers though.. right?

At least we don't have to draw animals. I can't draw animals to save my life. I can't draw very well at all actually :sad:

* db1986 draws stick people...
Be proud of those stick people! I am, even if they really are crap lol :embarrassed:

Also, hopefully the same thing won't happen as in the Easter one where lot's of people say they'll enter but then only 2 people do...
/me whistles innocently
I've already started thinking about ideas :o

i'd rather be referred to as a number instead of having my name be in it :P XD besides, i have a nunber. course dont choose my numbers -_- plz. thats way too obv.

Awww, poor Saffy. I'm sure she won't make the same mistake twice!

Random numbers are a good idea. Just in case some clever people try to do some deducing from when people say they've submitted something...

Or if everyone has to name their creation something (without their name obv, and not as plain as "Halloween contest"), that might work too.

Awww, poor Saffy. I'm sure she won't make the same mistake twice!
TY. I did say that right at the start.:embarrassed:

<3 awww saff, i didnt care really :P XD :) didnt bother me when you did :)

Hm, sure i'll try this.....not that I think I will get anywhere near winning but just for the fun of it! =D

I can't draw either Nyna so maybe our drawings might be indistinguishable.

saff, if we do participate, can we vote for our own art? ;p
or do we hv to vote for others? or not vote at all?

I can't draw either Nyna so maybe our drawings might be indistinguishable.

Yay we can stink together! Maybe we can get a prize for most amusing?....=P

saff, if we do participate, can we vote for our own art? ;p


Yes. Voting for your own is fine. Unless you feel someone else's is more deserving - like MINE! :smile:

tsk, if saff is participating, wont she know whos pic is whose? :P

And your point is? http://209.85.48.8/10136/22/emo/Tongue-ani.gif http://209.85.48.8/10136/22/emo/WinkGrin-ani.gif


Saffy, just to clarify: I'm assuming that, as it is a drawing competition, the entries need to be drawn by the entrant and not be a picture from the net nor a copy of someone else's drawing, etc? What about photoshopped-type pix, are they allowed?

Sorry, I'll get me coat ... http://209.85.48.8/10136/22/emo/Oer.gifhttp://209.85.48.8/10136/22/emo/Bolt2-ani.gif

tsk, if saff is participating, wont she know whos pic is whose? :P

I will know that whether I enter a picture or not....which is why I will refrain from voting.
So it actually puts me at a disadvantage, as I could have at least got one vote...... :rolleyes:

I'm assuming that, as it is a drawing competition, the entries need to be drawn by the entrant and not be a picture from the net nor a copy of someone else's drawing, etc? What about photoshopped-type pix, are they allowed? Yes, drawn by the entrant. No way to tell really if it is their original work or copied, or even if someone drew it for them....but tis all for a bit of fun, so I would hope that people draw in the right spirit. No photo-shopped stuff for this one please.

hmmmmmmm. i meant that she knows who drew whattttt even if shes participating..while the rest of us have no idea :P

@jen, would you rather we all knew who drew what? I don't mind Saff knowing -- someone has to know in order to organize the comp.

hmmmmmmm. i meant that she knows who drew whattttt even if shes participating..while the rest of us have no idea :P

yeah, its ok. My first thought when I saw your post was - "Oh yeah, I should not enter!". But after thinking about it a bit more, I realised that I don't get any advantage from knowing who drew what, but I *could* be seen to advantage someone with my vote. So I won't vote.

But yeh, what storm says is true, someone's gotta know who did what. :rolleyes:

If people prefer, I can sit this out - I haven't actually thought of a pic yet, still waiting for inspiration to strike...:biggrin: (All I can think of is puking pumpkins :embarrassed:)

Awwwww:(
* ms_sarcastic hugs db and his stick people

Awww thanks elfy :)

Be proud of those stick people! I am, even if they really are crap lol :embarrassed:

* db1986 contemplates the idea of stick pumpkins... :razz:

I don't actually mind Saff knowing my picture. Edit: I think she and everyone else know which is mine anyway :embarrassed:

* db1986 contemplates the idea of stick pumpkins... :razz:
Oi! Shush! I'm not ashamed of stick people pumpkin thingies. I might have to think of a new idea though :p

Edit: I think she and everyone else know which is mine anyway :embarrassed:
Same here. I have no problem with saff voting of course. It would only be a problem is Saff had an "issue" with anyone on the forum and if for example their picture was by far the best then she might purposely not vote for their's out of spite. We know saff's not like that though so its all good.

Whether Saff votes or not is fine by me. Everyone is entitled to 1 vote and I doubt 1 vote is going to swing anything. In any case, as Saff said, it's all just a bit of fun...

I'd like her to vote though. Because she puts so much effort into these things and she never gets to have the fun of giving her opinion too, due to having to be neutral or whatever.

lol, oki then :)

but now im wondering how do you draw stick pumpkins....

Did you ever watch 'Return to Oz', Jen?

/me snickers

uh. no?
/me is confuzzled.

hehe. Watch the first 8 seconds of this video (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=B5HLqagK4iI) :P

I always loved him <3 lol.

But after thinking about it a bit more, I realised that I don't get any advantage from knowing who drew what, but I *could* be seen to advantage someone with my vote. So I won't vote.

And after thinking about it a bit more....(cos I'm actually procrastinating studying for my exam :P) I realised that I *am* able to see what people are submitting, so that *does* give me an advantage as I may inadvertantly use their ideas :rolleyes:

So, I won't enter.

Yay, I can vote :razz:

/me goes off to study
.....wait....was that someone calling out for me? No? I'm sure I heard something.....better just go check.....

Sounds fun Saffy!
* Honey-Baby debates rather she wants to do it:eek:
You can draw it on any media right? =p

Yes, ma'am - so long as it is supported by this forum - as the pics will be displayed in an anonymous poll for forumites to vote on.

And, yes, of course you want to do it.
You know you do.:biggrin:

Yay we can stink together! Maybe we can get a prize for most amusing?....=P

Haha, that would be a great idea.

* db1986 attracts Saff's attention to this...

I can't wait to see the pics!!!
