the other three were done at an embroiding chain named Embroid Me. these were a new computerised form of screenprinting, that could have been done on t-shirts or mugs. dunno about the price difference, but just a thought.

From everything I've seen, looks like the 2-month overlapping challenges format is working pretty good. With #9 down, #10 about 2 weeks remaining, and #11 2 weeks in, what does everyone think so far?

Its very odd to me that I've been so pro-active in the recent months, what with the format changes, the patches, and starting the last 3 contests. I really hope everyone knows I'm just another member on the boards, and not the controll-freak type. I'm just trying to contribute as much as I can in the off-time I have. These series of contests have helped me grow artistically, and I'd love to contribute some of that momentum to others.

There are several art challenges that we haven't set start dates to (and some of these are new) :

Muscle: Zombies!
LRG Vs. Capcom
Oddball (madball, wierdball, boglins)
LRG Vs. MotU
Gormiti & Fistfull of Power
Apologies to...
Ultimate Muscle
Halloween Spooktackular!
Beastformer Vs beastwars: Blood & Oil!
Artist Choice
Battlebeast M.I.A
Artist tag-team-up!
Monster in my Pocket
LRG Tattoo Art

Did I miss anyone's topic request? I know Kevin said something about the mash-up topic we did awhile back (challenge #2, I think?) but excluding BB and Muscle this time. How did you want to title and define that?

After Whiteleo's Mythology logo, was there anyone else designing? If not, I'm gonna get started soon on hand-painting the Muscle: zombies! and Oddball patches with the screenprinting paints.

Thanks all for putting up with my bantering.

i just wanted to thank you for going to all this effort reccoom kaboom. hell, i should be thanking everybody. anyone who's an organizer, volunteer, contributor or voter, you have my thanks. this has been a really good stress reliever for me. i'm still not up to snuff where i feel i should be drawing. but with each thumbnail, sketch, prelim, rendering and final inking i'm getting back to where i once was. i'm going to try and get entered into the #11 contest. hopefully i can neglect enough responsibilities to finish an entry. just think, two and a half more years and i'll be done with school. by then i'll prolly stop sucking at drawing and maybe have a shot at winning one of these things. i'll just have to bribe scumdogg and ericnilla to take a dive is all. :D

i saw your SC... i think you can give us a run for our money. ;) the more entries the better...


we need to collect all the entries after 10 and put them together in a photobook... i think that would be cool to have... plus whatever other art we got for LRG's :)

just bought 25 3"x4" patches, and 25 4" round patches, so don't be expecting the patch prizes to go away anytime soon. I will probably start handpainting them soon. If anyone wants to do one, pm me, and I'll send you one. All 50 blank patches were considerably less than having 2 printed, and hand-painted is better anyway.

Here's the patch. The print-out looks great!

Our glorious Milky Way is a tiny, infinitesimal speck of sand in this vast, incomprehensible universe. And somewhere in that Milky Way is our own solar system, less than one billionth of that speck of sand that is the Milky Way. And then there is our planet Earth, one hundred trillionth of that one billionth of that one speck of sand. And on this planet Earth there is DEV-0, an insignificant blemish with a lifespan too short to measure when placed in infinite time.

And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

the lrg vs capcom bagde will be hand- painted by yours truly with permo t-shirt paints. sorry its taken so long: the Oddball challenge got me really sidetracked this month, and I hope to have the patch and extra credit ready by the end of the week. the mock-zepplin album was the second extra credit I've sent out: how's your marvel/muscle mashup coming, scumdogg?

I can't help but be proud of the way this one turned out.

We're closing in on the end of the 2008 art challenges, and its been a great year for fan art at the L.R.G. forums.

How does everyone feel on the 2-month layered challenges?

Any challenge requests?

If I can get caught up on all the patches, projects, and finish my current entries, I'm hoping to debut three non-fanart challenges (one in sandbox, one in customes, and one in fan fiction). The art challenges here have competitive improvement in us artists from month to month, and I'm interested in seeing if that could be the case elsewhere on these creative boards.

i think expanding the fan challenges to other formats is a great idea.

as for requests, how about an lrg in the office kind of thing? put one of your favorite lrgs in an office setting that would be out of the ordinary. i can just see akuma shogun doing telemarketing from a cubicle jungle. or gheos doing a presentation at dunder miflin.

Yeah, this one. That's pretty cool. My office experience is pretty limited, but i've heard of them, and i think it'd be entertaining.

Yeah, all of my office experience comes from watching The Office.

Well, except that time i worked in an office, but that hardly counted. It was more of a file vault, with incidental cubicles.

no other ideas from anyone? i'd like to see a "calendar" of things to come. i think lrg vs motu and lrg zombies are the only two left from the old schedule. i could be wrong.

what if we did like a lrg masterpieces. where we put lrgs in fine art. like the mona lisa could be a gpk or cutie or something like that.

transformers vs gormiti.

i'd like to do another battle beasts mythologies. that one was fun.

sd battle beasts vs sd gundam.

something with mini-boglins.

hellboy vs mimp.

i don't know. just some suggestions.

'smore ideas

LRG vs LRG collectors - now doesn't that create some interesting images?

LRG brawl - 2 or more LRG lines, the more characters involved in the fight the better.

LRG style wheres Wally

LRG cosplay as other LRG - actually, now I'm thinking about it, that's a lot like that halloween entry I think scumdogg did - with the battle beast costume.

LRG museum - make characters into exhibits, like fossils or skeletons, or mummies, or fancy pottery shaped like people's heads. Or those wax dioramas they make of dinosaurs and cave men and all that.

LRG news - either as news reporters, or being reported on. Or both. Both is probably better.

LRG lunch - remember those crazy lunchboxs I posted in the monkey bars a while ago? Well, what about LRG looking lunches? Huh? Huh? That would encourage everyone to use a different than normal media. Creativity!

This is a cool idea in theory, but i'm not sure i can see anyone actually finishing one. :thumbsup:

I like a lot of ideas from both Dankingery and Airot, specifically the "LRG Masterpieces" and "LRG News" ones. Also i want to see the LRG vs. MotU idea happen.
