Max What would you like for the poll.
We have the following that have made it on time for the challenge:
Dark Knight / B
MatrixBlur / kev_incal
Bill T / Mystic Morgan
Brick / dperceful
Winterhawk / JuvenileMike
Troublebot / Poison Ivy

Android has put forward a very nice entry but it is missing his partners half. Should he be included in the poll to win? (I think he should, but it is up to you and Mike)

Also it looks like the Furious Max / MilleniumBum and the Aharmona / Shaylinn combo's are going to be late. Did you want me to add you guys to the poll; in hopes the pictures are up soon.

And what about the Flux / AnonmissX and the Jedi Master Khalel / StatXero pictures has anyone heard from any of these guys.

(I have also posted a slightly edited version of this message at c2f)

Also, I would like to thank every one involved; this was a great idea and a very fun project. A big Thank you to Max and Mike, who did a dam good job organizing this event.

So far it looks like we have
Kallisti's picture
Rocinate's Picture(maybe, not sure if it is an entry)
Billy's Picture


Please put a response to this thread when you have added your picture to the gallery, so it does not get lost at the end of the month when I put up the poll. You can have Multiple entries If you want.Bluebeetlesuperhero's

Hey???????I am good with that??????? just needed to check??????? Let the covers come. I like it!!!

Rockets in pockets and locking down threads??????? I am confused??????? but hey, what can you expect???????I still don????????t know how to join in on the ???????shout out???????. Not to mention??????? I don????????t like thinking about WH and BB standing next to each other naked talking about images??????? YUK. LOL???????no??????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH???????. Cough???????cough??????? ouch, laughing that hard hurts.

Quote:Corel photo/paint isn????????t that bad of a program??????? especially if you can make sweet beautiful art with it. Not to mention that I like the idea of having a little help with coming up with ideas for new images. So, this is going to be a ???????homework??????? assignment that targets a member????????s weak spot. Do you think that people want to work on an image that is based on their weak spots. Also, I have been asked to do a tutorial on a few things??????? do we need members to post tutorials that will help in this ???????quest???????? Tutorials are great??????? but??????? it takes time out of our images. I tried and tried to make a tutorial on metal/chrome but couldn????????t come up with the words to explain how I did it. It is tough work. BUT??????? on top of that, I am game for this little endeavor! It sounds like a lot of fun???????

What, you mean the one's of your wife? I know it's hard to tell the difference, what with the dress and all...

No no, you misunderstood. I meant "next to you" as in "next to you on the evolutionary scale", when I said I'd be willing to take two steps down the Evolutionary ladder so as to be "next to" your simian mentality.
Didn't I make that clear?

You know, this obsession with me and my pants is beginning to become a little scary, if yaknowaddImean...




BB

I'm in. I've been looking for a new project all week and finding nothing that inspires me. Gimme something to do! However, please bear in mind that I'm only using Corel photo/paint 7, nothing near as fancy as photoshop.

Actually, I think the biggest area you need improvement in is wrinkles. Really, you hardly ever add them in your stuff.

BB

Brick and I came up with this Idea a Long, Long time ago in the shout box.

Here is the basic Idea: After you sign up, another member of this group having seen your entire body of work, suggests a manip or part of the manip that would challenge an area they might need to work on.

For example: Some one might challenge me to work on a metallic character, Since my metal skills are a little weak.

Well some of the team ups are up and they look great.
I was just over at C2F and read that the Taz and Android picture is not going to make the deadline. Too Bad, I was really looking forward to seeing the finished product of that one.


Quote:Trouble, trouble, trouble. We all know that you have been taking the pictures and sending them to me over the e-mail. I know you _want_ me to be next to you, but I have told you before, I am Married. and the mouse in the house was in reference of you putting your pants back on, my friend.

Quote:
Okay, ha ha, but this was _your_ show, mate, I would have imagined it would be a little more important to you.


I did everything except sing the coconut song before I posted, because I don't know it, but I did it all with my pants down, while Wrinklehawk stood next to me and took pictures. (After he put his mouse back in it's house... Hey, don't blame me, he wrote it!)

Quote:

Good plan, but you really can't harrass the C2F'ers here, can you?
And leave Android alone. (Cause I said so, that's why!))

????????BB

Asking questions since 1979.

If I get to spinning and singing about coconuts, I may never stop.

New rule: Rules only apply to Troublebots.

I suggest locking this thread tomorrow and starting a post - posting thread where we can both...

A) provide links to the pics. in case of flood.
and
B) Harrass everybody whos late.

Quote:
ya, but he does it with out his pants on.
I've got the pictures to prove it

Winterhawk - putting the mouse back in the house.

What - the instructions weren't simple enough?

Okay, put on a pair of rubber gloves, shave your head, spin around three times, sing the coconut song <I>then</I> post.

Max - funny thing is Bikerbot probably does that <I>every</I> time he posts. ;)

Okay, it's 12:44 on the 8th. I am ready to post. What happens know?

BB

New responsibilties at work have made manipping almost impossible. I hope to catch a break this week if at all possible. I have a wedding to attend that will take up Thurs evening and on.

Well... following logic instructions, I repost here what I said in C2F.

Tazman? If you are reading this is because my chips are trembling. Where are you, man?

My part is done.

Howdy folks, I'm Kevin (kev_incal) from C2F and Matrixblur's partner. I thought it was about time I joined up here too and say hi. Matrixblur and I are close to finishing and I can't want for the big reveal. Anyways, see you around the boards...

I hope so!
Millenium Bum has been promising to show me something 'tomorrow' for 2 weeks now but I still haven't seen anything.

He is someone who is supposedly a 'fast' worker so I find it deliciously ironic that some of the people who claimed to be 'slow' or wanted more time have been chomping at the bit for days to show us their finished work. I hear there are going to be some outstanding results.

Max - waiting in hope and fear.
