Iron Avatarist - MEN ARE HERE!

[Elemental]

Or you know... Manly anything.
As long as the levels of testosterone are enough to kill a small dog, then I think it counts.

However, please don't actually kill any small dogs.

[Serpentine]

MANLY small dogs!

Just dropped by to say that all I can think of is "Soccer Practice," a song by Jonny McGovern.

[Serpentine]

Come on, guys. It's Raining Men, YMCA, Dude Looks Like A Lady, Blue Collar Man, Iron Man, Nowhere Man, Starman... The world is full of manly manly men!

[Elemental]

Come on people!
At this rate the judges have almost no work. Do you really want that to happen?!?!
No! Make us suffer!
Make our lives difficult, make us work for our unending glory!

[Serpentine]

MAN ponies! Ken! Steve Irwin! The manliest of sports!

Y'know... i'm starting to think that due to the fact that there is always a IA going on (every month, all year) people (like me) have become tired of it.

There's only so often you can do ice cream week, as it were. Maybe do a pause after this one? You need fresh blood (with fresh interest) to keep this thing going, which isn't going to come out of nowhere. Having more judges than contestants isn't gonna play either. So take it easy and let people "recover"? :/

[Komodo]

Well, Domochevsky, I'm sorry to hear that. Not the best time for me to be hearing about this whole thing for the first time, I suppose. Ah well. It's still before the deadline, and I've been working on this for a few days, so I might as well post it. I pumped a pretty good dose of manliness into this, if I do say so myself!

My half-dragon appears to be unable to appear in any sort of avatar without hurting something. But that's only be cause he's the MANLIEST half-dragon!

Nice one, Komodo! XD

I'm OK with this idea. It would also give me time to catch up on the previous competitions. These are starting to become really stagnant. Anyone else have any input?

[Castaras]

Probably an idea. There's also the thing of running out of new ideas and if you wait a bit you could try repeating a theme.

[The Succubus]

The idea for this one is good but I'm unable to enter as a) I have a whole bunch of other things going on like NaNoDooDooDeDoo, a PbP game that needs to get off the ground and b) it's been months since I last did anything in Inkscape, so it'd probably come out looking like ass. >.>

[Serpentine]

MANLY ass?

[SKarious]

How can we have a MANLY contest without the paragon of Manliness, SAXTON HALE?

How about Roy-as-HALE, DRAMATIC PUNCHing Xykon's head off?
Will someone rise to the challenge?

[Penny_Dreadful]

I haven't been here in YEARS! I used to play games and make avatars. So much fun to rediscover this place! I also haven't tried my hand at avatars in a long time, but this thread looked fun.

*Sigh* I have a couple ideas for this Iron Avatarist, but there won't be time to finish them now. Unless the Good Angel has decided Iron Avatarist will go on hiatus after this competition for a few months, in which case it would be nice if the deadline was extended even more. *sheepish grin*

So many ideas... so much time spent ruminating on them... so little actually accomplished. :smallfrown:

[Haruki-kun]

@^: I honestly don't see the point. People have been telling me they have a lot of ideas for this contest but don't have time this month for several contests in a row. I even extended the contests from being a month long to six weeks long, people still don't have time.

No more entries please.

Iron Avatarist is now taking a Hiatus. I am going to work on the prizes for the previous IAs and on trying to figure out how to make this contest work. I'm planning on bringing it back in early January, which would be the equivalent of skipping one whole contest period.

See you then!

Oi, you were meant to give me warning

Oops. Sorry.
