Iron Avatarist: Toon Oldies

[Haruki-kun]

Note: After talking it over, I've been given the green light to take over the Iron Avatarist competitions. From here on I'll be running these.

Welcome to...

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Our theme this month is...
Toon Oldies!
Let's remember the good old days (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation)! What if the Order of the Stick had been created in the 1920's-1960's as cartoon characters? Would they be the crew on a steamboat? Cat and Mouse? Anvils everywhere?

Remember: All artwork must be your own. Do not take, alter, or use any of the The Giant's art. Thanks.

Categories
There will be a First through Third place award for each of the following:

Best Toon Avatar (any creation of 120x120 or smaller)
Best Toon OotSatar (as above, but OotS based)
Best Classic (any character larger than the above)
Best Classic Scene (anything/scene larger than above)
Best Rookie Entry (only applicable to those who have never entered these competitions before)
And, of course, the Best Overall award.

And as is tradition, I'll be giving out the Ruki's Choice Award for whatever entry I personally like the most from any category.

Rules

1. All entries must be posted by April 1st at Noon, EST.

2. Every entry must include a bolded introduction as to what category you are trying to enter in. Additionally, if it's your first time entering the contest, remember to add "Best Rookie Entry"

3. Every entry must include an itallic introduction as to what your entry is.

For example:
Best Toon Avatar
SteamBoat Ruki


4. You cannot re-submit an entry previously submitted to an IA competition.

5. Do not use spoilers. It makes the judge's job that much harder, and they may do you harm.

6. Only the avatarist who created the avatar may submit it.

7. Please do not quote images. The entry/name will suffice.

8. Keep entries within PG-13 or better. Adhere to forum rules.

Good luck!

[super dark33]

I wanna be judge! *ROCK!!*

[Haruki-kun]

Done. Still two spots open. The reserved spots are for Oblivion and Serpentine, but I'd like them to confirm if they'll want to judge, first.

Also, if any artist wants to make the trophies now would be a good time to volunteer, please!

[Fin]

I'll do it again if that is ok?

[Zefir]

I would like to judge as well.
http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Goldmann-andreas/Taric1.png , use this if I'm in.

[Serpentine]

Hmm... Count me as judge for now.

[Teutonic Knight]

Completely honest question: what happened to VT? Nothing against you Haruki. :smallcool:

[Serpentine]

Have a look at his profile, and everything we should know will be revealed :smallcool:

[Zefir]

That only throws another question: Why?:smalleek:

[Serpentine]

Annnnnnd for the answer to that question, I direct you to the rules section on discussing banned members...

Entries! Make them. I require: old-school Loony Tunes, Betty Boop, Woody Woodpecker, and that Daffy Duck where he makes himself a "hand sandwich". Might be a bit after the desired timeframe, but pffft :smalltongue:

[Zefir]

Thanks that clears all I need to know.

[Teutonic Knight]

To quote MitD: "Well, shoot!"

In any case, I am calling the thing that both haunted and drew me in to Disney cartoons as a kid: Pink Elephants on Parade (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=944cPciN-kw). Even to this day I still get chills. :smalleek:

[Serpentine]

Oh, by the way: I don't really like Snow White. Especially Snow White's voice. Feel free to show me mauling her as she starts to warble the first few notes of "I'm Wishing".
I am a fan of Ichabod Crane and Felix the Cat. Gumby is nice and weird...

[Oblivion]

Hmm... Count me as judge for now.

Same here.

[Trixie]

Can I take over the next IA? :smallbiggrin:

[Szilard]

You can probably go slightly outside the timeframe...
If the judges like the piece that is. :smalltongue:

[Ranger Mattos]

Ok, I think I'll be able to make entries for this IA, unlike the last one. Just too busy in February.

[Serpentine]

Says someone being exception himself? :smallamused:No exception. Only one person ever runs the Iron Avatarists at a time. It used to be Wukei, but then... she disappeared, I'm not sure what happened to her. Then Roland St. Jude took over for a long time, but he's a very busy guy so he approached several people about taking it. Vorpal Tribble accepted, and he was running it until he, shall we say, became unable to do so. Now it's been arranged that Haruki will be in charge of them until such a time as he chooses (or is forced) to hand over the reins to someone else.
There is no switching commanders from contest to contest, and never has been (in my time - dunno what happened pre-Wukei, but as far as I'm aware she started it).

[Raging Gene Ray]

Popey

You mean that zany, catchphrase-spewing head of an international religious organization who got super-strength from eating crackers?

[Zefir]

Ehh WHAT?? I mean the sail mean eating spinach to get strong

[billtodamax]

He's popeye the sailor-man!

[Trixie]

Now it's been arranged that Haruki will be in charge of them until such a time as he chooses (or is forced) to hand over the reins to someone else.

No exception? But, what you said points to one, just one case of rein transition (and two disappearances) - so it's not a tradition exactly, is it? :smallamused:

You know, my point here is, that this change could have used a lot less behind the scenes and more openness. But, if you're ok with this it's okay, I guess.

[Zefir]

You know, my point here is, that this change could have used a lot less behind the scenes and more openness. But, if you're ok with this it's okay, I guess.No, because it's not a matter of the running being switched around just for the Hell of it, it's a matter of long-term responsibility being handed over to someone new :smallannoyed: It's not "two disappearances", and I'm not at all sure what you're implying by it :smallconfused: The original person who ran it moved on from the forum and it was taken up by a moderator. Then another person who ran it left the forum unvoluntarily, and someone else had to be found to run it. In the long term. This is not an exception :smallannoyed:
This change happened exactly the same as it ever has. A moderator assessed the people involved for their reliability and interest, and offered it to a suitable candidate who accepted. Simple as that. There is no need for "openness", only moderator judgement.

Well, you both might have wished to mention that from the start, to avoid confusion. I'm not a telepathic, you know.

In fact, 'talking it over' suggested more covert takeover, not the task being handed by others, at least I read that this way. I'm sorry if I missed something making this wrong conclusion :P

[super dark33]

Well, I did point out in the first post that it was talked over. I didn't just swoop in and start a thread.

Now, moving on.

You can probably go slightly outside the timeframe...
If the judges like the piece that is. :smalltongue:

The linked article is mostly a guideline, if something doesn't appear thereit's not necessarily out of bounds. It's just important to focus on "oldies" and "classics".

Making a Pokemon entry, that would be out of bounds. :smalltongue:

:smallredface::smallbiggrin: *stands heroically*

I don't get it what des he quote?

It's a scene from a 1957 american animated short, What's Opera, Doc? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQlmXU1zqfc). The short is a parody of various operas by Richard Wagner, including Der Ring des Nibelungen.

At least, I'm assuming you're referring to mine...

[happyturtle]

And not in a "omg this is teh bestest u gotta watch this wow!" way, but in a "this is a classic in animation history and one of the best things Loony Tunes ever did, even if you don't like it it will be part of your lifetime education" way. Looks like the link Derjuin posted has all of it.

[Ninjaman]

that is epic. I bet you win lots of throphies, again.

Please Bribe Me!

[Serpentine]

Personally, I prefer no more than the occasional "bribe" entry, and only if it's particularly apt and/or amusing*. Cleverness and quality is much more important to me than making it about me.


*Yes, that one qualifies :smallwink:

[Mauve Shirt]

I agree with you about Snow White's voice, so I wanted to draw it. :smallbiggrin: I've always thought that she should be stabbed through the voicebox.

Derjuin, that Maleficent is magnificent.

[Ninjaman]

Please Bribe Me!

Are you desperate?

I'm getting a similar impression, admitedly. Being a judge for this isn't about people handing out worshipperies to you. It's for you to ...well, judge the entries. >_>

Some classics I'd like to see:


Coyote and Roadrunner, especially based on this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AR7BxX2Tnw&feature=related).
Tom and Jerry
Tex Avery's Little Hot Riding Hood
Daffy as Robin Hood
Pepe Le Pew being sued by the cat for sexual harrassment. Of course Celia represents the cat, and Phil in the boot is defending Pepe
Mighty Mouse

[Serpentine]

Awww... I like Pepe le Pew :smallfrown: Him, Tazzy Devil and Speedy Gonzales might be my favourites... Actually, on that last note, there have been some rather... shall we say, outdated and/or controvercial cartoons :smallamused: The Superman cartoons from the '30s-50s were pretty great, too.

[Haruki-kun]

Please drop the bribe requests, superdark, they're quite uncalled for. Stick to judging.

Seconding the Speedy Gonzales suggestion and would also like to suggest Rupert The Bear and Super Ted!

[Dvandemon]

Ideas: Gremlins, Felix The Cat, Chipmunks, Looney Tunes, Mickey, Oswald; I should get started. Since Derjuin already did Maleficent, someone should do Chernabog.

@V:Durkon would be pissed. Especially since the Disney ones resemble gnomes (at least to me)

I always rooted for the "bad" guy in those. Tom, Sylvester, Daffy, Donald Duck... I mean, Jerry, Tweety, Bugs and whoever Donald was up against were always such jerks to them! :smallmad:

[Dvandemon]

If anything, it taught that conflicts aren't always black and white, and that both sides have problems. The "heroes" were jerks, but sometimes it takes a jerk to start a jerk, and then an enemy. Both sides were kind of petty

[Mordokai]

That depends on who's doing the story. In Rosa's comics, Donald is pretty much as heroic as they comes and it's often him that saves the day. And The Three Caballeros is pretty much a peak of showing him as being as nice as they come. That's why I like Rosa's comic so much, they paint Donald in all another light, not just the cliche one. Well, that and art is supreme :smallsmile:

Also, maybe we could see something like this (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=207)? With two judges in the last panel and :smalleek: epression on their faces? :smallbiggrin:

Golden Age of Animation that ended in the fifties but arguably the sixties is just a guideline. You can skip a bit later if you want. It's just much newer ones that I want to avoid. Anything pre-70's is fine, maybe some early 80's, tops. 90's and 21st century stuff is off-limits.

WHY? IM A JUDGE AND I DESERVE BRIBEING!

[Mordokai]

Seriously dude... give it a break already :smallsigh:

[Haruki-kun]

WHY? IM A JUDGE AND I DESERVE BRIBEING!

Superdark, that's enough. Keep it up and you won't be a judge ever again.

[Raging Gene Ray]

WHY? IM A JUDGE AND I DESERVE BRIBEING!

The reason judges get bribed is mostly because they have built up reputations outside of this one thread. Vorpal has threads upon threads of great homebrew that is deliciously fluffy and nutritiously crunchy. Serpentine has created great avatars herself and has developed her own very...serpentine style with the curves and the swirls and the arabesques and the nice LAAA-DYYY!!!

In short...you're not getting bribed because nobody really knows you that well. Build up a reputation through either art, role-play, or discussing other interests.

At the very least, give a suggestion...like Sylvester hacking up granny (a 1 level commoner) up, gaining a level in Wizard, and using some overpowered level 1 necromancy spell to raise her as a zombie to kill Tweety/Speedy.

Let's see, what are some other cartoon cats that can get on the First-Level Commoner Memetrain?

[Serpentine]

Serpentine has created great avatars herself and has developed her own very...serpentine style with the curves and the swirls and the arabesques and the nice LAAA-DYYY!!!HEEEEEEE :biggrin:
In short...you're not getting bribed because nobody really knows you that well. Build up a reputation through either art, role-play, or discussing other interests.Also, the incessant nagging. At best, you might get something just to shut you up. At worst - and more likely - people will just get annoyed and refuse to even consider doing anything as a consequence.

As a judge, you do not deserve "bribeing". It's "encouraged" tongue-in-cheekly. It's amusing to throw it out there. Constantly insisting that contestants pander to your ego is just aggravating, not amusing, especially when it definitely appears that you don't get it. Please stop it. If you have a particularly good idea that you think would be fun to have your character in, feel free to suggest it - e.g. me shutting up Snow White, because I have a long-running and specific aversion to her singing. Just belabouring the point that you want attention isn't fun, isn't interesting, and isn't inspirational.


...That should do it. Any Felix the Cat entries, yet? He's amazingly weird. I envision him in an Escher drawing...
Hrm... And anyone remember Dot? She's probably too late, though...

[Zefir]

WHY? IM A JUDGE AND I DESERVE BRIBEING!

What the hell is wrong with you? This is a contest about a theme and Vopal only deserved the bribeing, because he managed this wohl IA things over years I think. And well If you just cry for it I say every bribing of you won't come to the top three cause you forced people to much.
The honour of beeing a judge should be enougth.
Oh and Haruki-kun could you poke me on the week end with some PM I tend to forget things. *smiles innocent*

*Pokes back just cause he can*

I throw in HE-Man, Shera, Batman (Hes from 1939). Just some thoughts.

[C-Lam]

I have absolutely no idea what to draw. I watched very little cartoon when I was younger and hardly remember anything.

Plus it was in Norwegian when I watched it, so I don't quite know what you guys are talking about.

[Ninjaman]

Yeah me too:smallsmile:

[Domochevsky]

Yeah me too:smallsmile:

Same here, just further east. I got absolutely nuthin'. :smallsigh:

[Irbis]

Yeah, this theme is just extremely American-centric. In half of Europe, 90% of US cartoons were banned, and even when in 1991 the ban was lifted, we saw the newest, most flashy ones. I was actually lucky to recognize that Bugs Bunny cartoon, 95% or my generation wouldn't know that.

Now, if you want me to draw cartoons from that period, I could draw Krecik, Reksio, Bolek & Lolek or Wilk & Zajec, but I guess you haven't heard of them either.

Which is a shame, really.

Even that half of Europe that had free access to US culture probably had a lot of cartoons of their own (I saw a lot of Swedish, French and Yugoslavian as a kid, these were sort-of allowed western production subtitutes) so they won't be that familiar either.

[Haruki-kun]

Well, I'm sorry. I guess I had a research fail.

Having had access to them in Mexico, I assumed people in Europe did, too. And you don't have to look for very obscure ones, either: Disney Movies, Looney Tunes, Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry, these all count and they're fairly well known.

PS: Anime oldies count too. And by Oldies I mean "Astro Boy" (1963) not "Cowboy Bebop" (1998).

PPS: Actually, anything non-American probably counts too.

[Domochevsky]

I got into tv series in '92 or somesuch... meaning Mila Superstar, Kickers, Samurai Pizza Cats, Sabre Riders and the first Pokemon season soon afterwards.

And i can barely remember any of that. (Don't have much of a attachment to old series.) >_>

Edit: Oh and there's also the Heidi anime series and Alfred J Kwak. :O

PPS: Actually, anything non-American probably counts too.

Well, 50% of Europe was behind Iron Curtain, you know. Further 25% was neutral for any sorts of reasons, and tended to produce their own shows, and only 25% had an access to US cartoons.

Now, US films were different matter, these were often pirated and shown in cinemas, some famous ones (like Star Wars) were shown officially, but that was cinema-only, cartoons landed in TV and had very little priority, one 20-30 minutes half action/half cartoon (if lucky) block per day.

As for PPS, good to know :smallwink:

[C-Lam]

Now that I think about it, I did watch a lot of Tom and Jerry when I was younger.
Maybe I can make something about that:smallconfused:

[Keveak]

Yeah me too:smallsmile:

Odd, I watched a few cartoons as a kid and of those all were made in America.

Tom and Jerry, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Wile E. Coyote (Hjulben og Prærieulven in Danish), Scooby Doo and Bugs Bunny (Snurre Snup) was shown almost every night some years.

Bugs and the other Looney Toons even had a Danish-made show that I watched.

I've just been too busy to draw anything lately. :smallfrown:

But next month! >:3

Here's (http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j341/GFawkes1605/FanArt/GetOnWithIt.png) my submission. It's my first attempt at OOTS Art, so I appologize for the quality. I used MS Paint :smallfrown:.

You should refer to the OP for how to submit your entry properly.

Here's my (properly formatted) entry. I used MS Paint, so sorry about the quality (or lack thereof)

Note: For some reason, photobucket adds a TON of blank space on the right side. If anyone knows how to fix this, please tell me.

[memnarch]

It would not appear to have a bunch of blank space on the right, but the word bubble is hanging over the edge. In order not to cut it off, you need some extra blank space on that side.

[GFawkes]

Thanks. I think I got it now.

[Dvandemon]

I'm once again full of ideas, but unable to draw them :smalltongue:*snip* She-ra, *snip*

fixed it :smalltongue:Yeah, this theme is just extremely American-centric. In half of Europe, 90% of US cartoons were banned, and even when in 1991 the ban was lifted, we saw the newest, most flashy ones. I was actually lucky to recognize that Bugs Bunny cartoon, 95% or my generation wouldn't know that.

Now, if you want me to draw cartoons from that period, I could draw Krecik, Reksio, Bolek & Lolek or Wilk & Zajec, but I guess you haven't heard of them either.

Which is a shame, really.*snip*

Maybe hugging Donald?

I see what you did there. :smallwink:

For those who don't know: Osamu Tezuka, creator of Astro Boy and the Father of Manga, was a known fan of Donald Duck and admitted that his work was inspired on Scrooge McDuck.

[Raging Gene Ray]

Some suggestions to help proliferate the arts:

Haley dressed as Wimpy, stealing everyone's hamburgers.
Hell, Thog as Wimpy would make sense, too.

[Zefir]

Or Elan as Popeye Trog as the main enmy I can't remember and Harley as Olivia maybe an idea.

Hero of the '50s comic/cartoon Franch racing series, Michel Vaillant. Ok, the helmet design draws a lot from the '80s reboot, but I think Haruki okayed it in the PM, and besides, they used a lot of futuristic equipment in the '50s series, too.

[Haruki-kun]

@^:It's fine.

So it's 3 hours past the limit, so....

NO MORE ENTRIES, PLEASE! Contest is now closed.

Thread for the new IA will be up tonight.

[Haruki-kun]

And the results are in! Let's give prizes our before this thread becomes necromanceable! :smalltongue:
