Default Iron Avatarist Contest - OotS Through the Ages

Welcome to...
Iron Avatarist

This Iron Avatarist contest will be judged by

(Ego Slayer/Vorpal Tribble/Hawkeye/Dark Corax)
And probably also me, your dashing host
(Final lineup subject to change - If any of you want to draw instead just let me know!)

Our theme this month is...
OotS Through the Ages

No, not time-traveling OotS (Hmmm...), no, the theme of this contest is to draw the OOTS characters in different stages of their lives. We've seen Haley's teen years in the comics some, but there's no need to stick to canon. Have at it! Draw Roy as a boy or Belkar in his dotage! As always, we're looking for avatars in the OotS-style, with some tolerance for larger scenes and non-OotS-style stuff.

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

As usual there will be a First through Third place award for each of the following, with trophies by Oblivion:

Best Baby OotS Character
Best Child OotS Character
Best Teen OotS Character
Best Elderly OotS Character
Best OotS Group (Any age or ages) (>1 Character = Group)
Best Erfworld Character (at any age)

And, as always, the Best Overall award.

As usual, I'll be giving the timeless Roland’s Choice Award to the avatarist's creation that most appeals to my, admittedly developing, sensibilities.

Every entry must include a bolded introduction as to what category you are trying to enter in.

Every entry must include a bolded introduction as to what your entry is.

For example:
Best Baby OotS Character
Baby V saying something precocious
[IMAGE]

Only the avatarist who created the avatar may submit it.
However, you may submit old creations as long as they have never been entered into an Iron Avatar Thread before. It does not have to be something made specifically for this thread.

All entries must be completed by December 1 at Noon Eastern Standard Time.

Hmmm... looks like my Contest Idea got made into an IA thread. Hey Bath, go ahead and [s]use that Baby Wizard you drew for me[/b] nevermind. Forgot that IA contests were OotS restricted :P. I guess I'll draw my own then :).

In addition to Mr Saturn's retort, the teen goblins changed their alignment in their teen years then changed back. Miko could have done the same.

Imagine it, a whole new way for teens to rebel.

At the paladin house one dinnertime, mummy paladin sneezes and accidentally turns on her detect alignment and suddenly

"Daughter, you changed your alignment!?"
"Yeah, I was planning on telling you about it sometime..."

For an elf, that would be "in his/her teens", but I still said "baby" :p
