FIRST EXPLOSM DRAW OFF

[Relaps]

Lemmeh break it down for you:

FIVE ARTISTS

Chosen by me and Urser, are the artists for this draw off.

√ - Confirmed

I_smell - √
Matterialize - √
Relaps - √
Urser - √
Tyler_Legrand - √


WEEK ONE IS GO


ONE WEEK
Each round lasts a week, and this all starts on Sunday, Feb. 10th. This is for two reasons:

1) Schedules. We can't see into the future, and shit might happen. This is to ensure that the dood has enough time to draw his drawing, and still allow for unexpected shit to pop up, like getting your girlfriend an abortion.

2) Quality. If they're not rushed, they can draw as nicely or as shitty as they want.


SINGLE PICTURE
No comics. Just one big picture. FRAMES ARE FOR FAGGOTS, FANCY FOPS AND FRODOS



WINNER'S CHOICE
At the end of each week, there'll be a poll for 24 hours, where you forum faggots will vote. The winner of that week gets two awesome things:

1) A break for that week. They just won! Holy shit! They get one week of freedom.

2) Next Topic choice. Because they've got the free week, they can't choose a topic that would ensure their victory, or at least give them an upper hand. They choose the topic for the next week, but if the topic sucks, and 3/4 of the other artists agree, the topic can be changed.



ARTISTS: if you were mentioned above, please post in this thread if you're able to go this week.

Also, if you have any other rules you'd like to add, please say so in this thread.


The topic for week 1: Dinosaurs with Boners


Thanks to GCBC for the idea and Urser for being sexy

[Tyler_Legrand]

Hello.

[GCBC]

Wow, who was awesome enough to come up with the basis for this totally awesome idea?

Edit: Urser smells like poop.

Edit^2: Urser you forgot "whore" in that.

EditEditEdit: K thanks for fixin' that man.

[Urser]

Wow, who was awesome enough to come up with the basis for this totally awesome idea?

None other than dumb drunk fat baby bitch *whore*.

Yeah I can do it.

[I_Smell]

LOL IM IN SOMETHIN AN I DIDNT KNOW TIL I FOUNDOUT

Tick me.

[Mr. Crow]

What about me? :mad:

[PyroOwned]

Surely other people that are known in this forum can sign up, say a max of 10 people. :mad: Way to show people an inside game and make them vote for you.

[abbey]

It's kind of stupid that the participants are already chosen. That leaves out any new artists on here. We all know that those 5 people are great at drawing, but what about someone new?

[Pyro]

Shh Owen, this is an Elite thing.

I mean that this competition is good as it is, there can always be other competitions/draw offs as long as there are people willing to participate.

[HappyPalooza]

Too many horrible/mediocre people would be joining. Why waste time when we know who the final people will be? It's a grand selection, I say. I'm mostly looking forward to all the different styles clashing.

[Relaps]

The reason we chose the five we chose, is because we know they're active, and can draw well. Those five are constant.

HOWEVER - if one artist cannot participate that week, we will ask for a replacement for that week only. That way, some new people can still participate, such as Mr. Crow, Azunder, and anyone else who we know has competent art skills.

[Matterialize]

LOL IM IN SOMETHIN AN I DIDNT KNOW TIL I FOUNDOUT

Tick me.

What he said.

[jewishjosh]

So do you five just have weekly drawing contests from now until Explosm goes tits up again, or what?

[Relaps]

It'll probably go till we forget about it, or get bored.

[Arielcz]

How do regular Joes like me get to join?

[Shadow Fyre]

So, will this be pencil drawing, photoshop work, flash, or what?

[Matterialize]

It's just for fun, though. The losers aren't kicked out or anything. We just start over again in the next week, and it keeps going and going and going.

For people who are disappointed at "not getting in":


Matt says:
what the hell am i doing in it?
Relaps says:
it originally was an idea that me and urser just draw shit out of our comfort zone
Relaps says:
but he was like "lets add more people"


Not a big deal. Relaps just made the thread so you guys can see how awesome we are in an organized fashion.

[Relaps]

So, will this be pencil drawing, photoshop work, flash, or what?

You can do any of those, but I assume everyone is capable of doing the drawings on the computer with what they're best at.

[HappyPalooza]

I understand now. At the time I thought it was just another contest. "DRAW OFF" was misleading me. Still will be great fun to watch.

[_Atheistic_]

How do regular Joes like me get to join?
You don't.

[Chriz]

Awesome.

[Godly]

This is interesting and all, but will you seriously only keep the same 5 artists for the whole time? Why not add/remove people as the "draw off" goes on, to allow more people to take part. Cause guess what, there's more then 5 good artists on this forum. And I'm not saying I don't think that some of the 5 artists aren't good, on the contrary, they are pretty amazing and have proven themselves to be constant and great. But I still think this should be only for a certain group of people chosen by you. Just cause you're a mod, shouldn't allow you to make your own little "private" contest.

Whatever, I guess it totally doesn't matter, I just fucking despise elitism.

[Chriz]

Elitism. Serving you since the war!

[Matterialize]

Whatever, I guess it totally doesn't matter, I just fucking despise elitism.

It's not elitism. Nobody is stopping any of the other artists from creating and updating their own art threads, like Azunder and Musical Idiot and Chrisso. This is exactly the same thing, except some of us are sharing the thread. The whole 'contest' idea is just so we can decide on what to draw every week.

Seriously, anyone who's complaining about not being in this should just make their own thread. :indiff: There is no prize for winning this, it's just for fun.

[I_Smell]

Yo calm down, we're just havin a bit of a laugh. Excuse the creators if they're not being politically correct enough to include all races, cultures and genders of every region and style, but it's a thread on a forum. If you want a good example of equality, there's a thread for that aswell. It's called Comics and Fan Art v.4.0.

[Derelict]

You guys are all wicked artists. I can't wait to see what's to come of this.

[Relaps]

This weeks topic as chosen by GCBC: Dinosaurs with boners.

[GCBC]

No Barney shit. Barney isn't a real dinosaur. :mad:

[Relaps]

He's clearly titled "the purple dinosaur."

[Benjaman]

I don't know about you guys, but around all those kids, how could Barney not have a boner, :heya:

But really, this is going to be amazing.

[Urser]

We may as well award Smelly first place right now.

[Matterialize]

O joyous day, glad I get to exercise my artistic talent in such a challenging manner. :indiff:

[GCBC]

Well, win this round and you can pick the next topic Matt.

[I_Smell]

Dinosaurs with boners, or just a scene involving dinosaurs and boners?

[Tyler_Legrand]

I knew it was eventually gonna involve boners somehow.

[Beatzebs]

Where's MusicialIdiot?

[Mr. Crow]

Cue drawings of T. Rex trying desperately to reach with its stubby arms to wank.

[Relaps]

Dinosaurs with boners, or just a scene involving dinosaurs and boners?

With.

[Matterialize]

Meaning, the dinosaur is poppin' a stiffy.



Also: I honestly hate GCBC for choosing this stupid theme, Explosm-friendly or not. My drawing looked so badass until I forced myself to start adding cock to it.

[azunder]

You just need to practice drawing knobs.

[GCBC]

You know Matt, the whole idea behind this draw off was to challenge you guys and to try and get you to draw outside your comfort zone... Sounds like it's working to me.

[Matterialize]

Although most of us probably don't spend our time drawing penises, I don't think doing so qualifies as "drawing outside your comfort zone". I think what you really had in mind was, "I'm going to be funny and make the theme about cocks."

Not that I can't do the theme, in fact, mine's coming along well - I just figured we'd be a bit more serious about it if we were actually interested in challenging our artistic talents. Suppose that was a bit too much to expect from Explosm?

[Relaps]

Nobody should be comfortable drawing a penis. Ever.

[jewishjosh]

Superbad proved that you can draw cock without compromising your artistic talent.

[GCBC]

Well I was joking when I told Relaps that it was dinos with boners. My original intent was just dinosaurs but he took the joke seriously. Oh well.

Just be glad that it wasn't Disney princesses with boners...

[Urser]

So do we post the pictures here once we're finished? Or do we PM them to Relaps?

[Relaps]

I say PM. I'll post them when everybody is finished, then whatever time is left till next sunday is voting time.

[JW]

Sounds fun.

Matt, I suppose it is a bit much to expect.

[Tyler_Legrand]

I draw penises all the time!

[MistyTehMoose]

I prefer real life pictures.

But no, not really.

[Dacada]

I draw penises all the time!
Sometimes I accidently draw a penis, does that count?

[Tyler_Legrand]

You never draw a penis "accidentally".

[Beatzebs]

You never draw a penis "accidentally".

Hmmm then your "Mr. Tentacles" isn't accidentally looking like a penis? :P

[Ox]

Hmmm then your "Mr. Tentacles" isn't accidentally looking like a penis? :P

Incidentally, "Mr. Tentacles" is Tyler's pet name for his penis.

[Beatzebs]

Incidentally, "Mr. Tentacles" is Tyler's pet name for his penis.

So as a conclusion we could say, Tyler has more than one schlong? o_O

[Tyler_Legrand]

Yes.

[Hats of!]

Beatzebs, you're like the only one who didn't know that.

And I can't see no art in this thread yet? Where is it?

[Matterialize]

So do we post the pictures here once we're finished? Or do we PM them to Relaps?

I say PM. I'll post them when everybody is finished, then whatever time is left till next sunday is voting time.

[Urser]

I hated drawing that.

It was so awkward. I never want to see it again.

[Relaps]

Urser, Smelly and I have finished, so Matt and Tyler are still working on theirs.

[Quadros]

I'm willing to bet serious coin that Matt's just been lazing around jacking off all week and hasn't actually started yet.

[Relaps]

I'm willing to bet serious coin that Matt's just been lazing around jacking off all week and hasn't actually started yet.

Actually, that was Tyler. He's starting now though.

[I_Smell]

I did mine in about half an hour.




I mean no I didn't.

[Rob]

This was a miserable failure. I hope everyone involved dies (and not one of those nice surrounded-by-family deaths either)

Relaps, feel free to give this another go but this time don't let GCBC ruin it with unfunny shit.

I think Explosm has good enough artists that we don't need to rely on penis jokes.

[Relaps]

Rob, you poo face.

Well, this is what we had for this.

I'll remake this in March. New month, new start.

[Rob]

More of Spame contest imo. I think Showcase is above that. I'm all for keeping the contests funny, but this is sorta childish and not in a funny way.
