ART CONTEST 3.5 AND ANNOUNCEMENT

Well, here it is! This is the post we've all been waiting for all week. Well, maybe you haven't, but I certainly have! I've put so much work into this sucker that I oughta be given a medal! And more importantly, I've beaten my record for the amount of work I've ever put into a cartoon. This is the biggest cartoon yet, with over 25 panels and more than three in colour. Not to mention that some of these panels required Photoshop, and some of the more...err....contest related panels had over 100 layers. Let me tell you, that was confusing. I don't know how people use photoshop on a regular basis. I can honestly say that I've spent at least 24 hours of time preparing for this contest. So you'd better like it.

Secondly, I will now post the rules for this contest, and I will make a separate post for the cartoon, so that the spacing doesn't go haywire on my post, thanks to Blogger's instability issues.


Contest Rules and Requirements

Main Challenge: Name the game that I attempted to draw in a few scenes in the cartoon posted below. Hint is in the name of my 'character' in the cartoon, and what are they doing? Should be easy. If you're around my age, you should totally know what this is. My Dad should definitely know what this is, we spent a lot of memories and lunch times playing this. Well, I did, but he was there for me. =)

I will begin accepting enteries on Saturday, November 29, 9:00 a.m. Toronto time. If you don't know what time that is, look it up on the internet. It's easy. The last time I will accept enteries will be 9:00 p.m. Sunday, November 30, 2008 Toronto time. Late entries will not be accepted, but early enteries might be if you try and bribe me. =)

-If I get a lot of draws around the same time, I will draw the winner from a hat. Trust me. You WANT to win this contest. Prize is a SURprise. I may hand out mini-prizes besides the grand prize.

-For bonus points to entice me to cheat and pick your name out of a hat and/or just give you many prizes, give me two things:

i) Name the game that I ripped the fire from. (You'll know it when you see it.)
ii) I intentionally left in a mistake in my cartoon. Tell me what it was so I can be impressed.


END CONTEST RULES


Begin Announcement.

Ahem.

I have officially booked my trip to Europe, and I will be spending Christmas there. I will be in Europe until the 27th, and I will fly back into Toronto on the 27th. After that, I will probably fly directly to Saskatoon as long as time allows. I might come back for five minutes to meet with a friend and change my clothes, but that's it. Which means I will be in town in S'toon for a couple days after Christmas, most likely. But the majority of time I will be overseas, so please send happy little don't-die-in-a-foreign-land prayers for me. Or foreign airway, etc. I have two little details left for trip planning, and then that's it, I've practically maxed my credit card. LOL. Not really, but it will still be an expensive trip, but I think I made really good use of my resources that I had. Well, Graham will decide that. Oh, Graham is coming with, didn't I say? We'll be touring Europe for two weeks. I can't wait for Italy!

Happy Contesting!
