Our theme this month is...
Dragons!
This Month's Iron Avatarist is about Dragons, plain and simple. The Mythical creatures of Lore!

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 Dragon Avatar (any creation of 120x120 or smaller)
Best Dragon (Any depiction of a dragon or primarily of a Dragon.)
Best Draconic (Any dragon-related non-dragon creation, such as a half-dragon, dragon slayer, dragon researcher, etc.)
Best Dragon Scene (Any scene depicting dragon-related events OR remade dragon-related scenes from literature/movies/general media.)
Best Rookie Entry (only applicable to those who have never entered these competitions before)

And, of course, the Best Overall award.

And as an extra, 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 July 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 Draconic
Haruki slays a dragon
[img][/img]

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 Please do not quote images.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!

Now to go through my stuff and check what I've already entered before...

[Vrythas]

b-b-but we haven't heard back about La Mer

however, this should prove to be interesting... *begins summoning dragons*

[Derjuin]

Edit: This entry removed

Yay insomnia!

I don't know why but the clouds in my entry keep clipping themselves off. Taken down for technical errors.

Yay insomnia (again)!

Patience, the results are already in, I just need to finish the trophies.

Anyway: I still need volunteers to judge! Volunteers apply here, please!

[Zefir]

I would judge but the theme is good and I more want to draw for it.

[Trixie]

Judge?

Why not?

I'd been thinking that I'd actually get a good idea for this competition, but if you need a judge, I could fill in.

I would be able to switch to competitor if I do come up with an idea right?

[Haruki-kun]

Judge?

Why not?

Sure, you're in. One more spot left!

[Cizak]

Almost identical title and posted on the same day:

This can't be a coincidence, can it?

[CrimsonAngel]

Is there room for one more judge!?

Yup. I call it.

[Mindfreak]

I have the best Idea ever for this one. Hopefully, I can get my computer fully operation for it. Hint: Sangwaan.

[Draconi Redfir]

Dangit! figures this happens when my basement is flooded and my computer unacessable. And its near impossible to draw anything good in mspaint on a laptop >_>

[smuchmuch]

I don't know if can really apply seeing as I haven't taken part in iron avatarist before,but If there is need for a last juge for this one, I would be interested. (if you would have me , that is.)

edit: Ah, I just someoen already asked, my bad.

Just to clarify: Yes, you could judge, but as you said, Crimson Angel took it already. Sorry.

"There is no such thing as a coincidence in this world", says a character from one of my favorite shows... But it's a coincidence, yeah. And of course, I didn't invent the phrase.

[Domochevsky]

Mentlegen. Sleep related issues. =_=

Best Dragon Scene
Bring it on, you FISH


...man, that's pretty small, now that i look at it. >_>

[Ashen Lilies]

Boom!

Best Dragon Avatar
Jazirian, the Gold Dragon Rogue


Been waiting for this one, for this very reason.
Of course, art inflation means it isn't as good as it once was, relatively speaking.


And while I'm looking at that section of my album,

[Serpentine]

Note to self: already entered Smaug and the Okami one. Not sure about others...
Note to others: if you think I've already entered something, please let me know, and if possible tell me which one you think it was.

Anyways, here's a dump of the premade ones that fit and that I think I haven't entered before (although I just discovered a couple I have entered twice )

Best Dragonic
Mink, The Dragon Half


though so watch ...
I think this month may already be closed and all prices give Serpentine ...

[Serpentine]

Oh, you ain't seen nothin' yet

[Akrim.elf]

I've seen enough for me to know that is not worth doing anything further, as always, when logged in, you win ...
and all this time ... is no cost to try, when I know how it goes?

[Serpentine]

Not this again.

Someone track down my previous statements on this topic for me, I've gotta go to bed.
I'll point out, though, that in the last few contests I've entered I've won a maximum of 3 or maybe 4 trophies, and only half a handful of firsts - if that.

[Akrim.elf]

nice ... Only one technical .. is not maximum for a category 5 posts?

[Teddy]

nice ... Only one technical .. is not maximum for a category 5 posts?

Doesn't say so in the rules, so no.

[CrimsonAngel]

Jesus Serp, how long have you been doing this?

[Elder Tsofu]

Jesus Serp, how long have you been doing this?

Since before quite a lot of us even had joined the forums. Talk about an head-start. ^^

[Domochevsky]

But the good news is, that she now used them up. Quite a mistake.
