Arts and CraftsThe place to talk about stick figure avatars, graphic design, fan art, or any application of the visual arts and creative writing--or just to show off your latest masterwork!
Our judges will be Sneak, Roland St. Jude, Tin Soldier, The Vorpal Tribble, and Hawkeye
(The final lineup subject to change.)
This week's theme is...
Halloween
That means you will be "dressing up" yourself, another board member, or an OotS character for Halloween. And if there's any other miscellaneous Halloween themed drawings you want to do, there's a category for that, too. Of course, all entries should be entirely your own work - altering images created by others is still against both contest and forum rules!
And of course, there is going to be a First through Third place of the following:
Best Halloween Costume Best Group in Costume (1 Person = Group) Best OotS Character in Costume Best OotS Group in Costume Best Miscellaneous Halloween Theme Drawing
There can be only one…Best Overall award.
And, of course, the Roland’s Choice Award will go to the avatarist's creation that most appeals to my, admittedly whimsical, 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 Halloween Costume Roland as The Headless Horseman
(Image by Chris the Pontifex, who may enter this if he wants to.)
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 Tuesday November 14, at 12 midnight EST. *That is Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning at midnight U.S. Eastern Standard Time.

Before you insult someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, you'll be a mile away, and have their shoes!
- Feud, the: The 'secret' plot to do something to BlackFox for some reason no one seems to really recall. Accusations of a government cover-up concerning the Feud remain unsubstantiated.

As the President of the ElfLad fan club I'd like to say: That. Is. Awesome! ;D

Best OOTS Group in Costume
Roy, Celia, Belkar, and Possibly Xykon as Ash, Sheila, a Mini-Evil-Ash, and some random skeleton's head from Army of Darkness
Also, not an entry but for general use, a proper avatar-size version of Roy and Celia.
Elan dressed up (or undressed up, rather) as an Invisible Stalker
(edit: new version)
Until I post something of my own, probably in the next few days, this one has my vote for sheer comedic value!
