I have a silly contest I would like to try.
An easy contest, draw me a picture =P
Put the picture online or in a way where anyone who looks at the post can see it. I'll pick my favorite and send the prize to them.
First place: A Katana [74x10] (+9) 118,121
Second place: 100K Cb2
Third place: 10 Explosive Shots [10x4] (+4)
Super cool awesome picture that I think rules beyond comprehendible imagination: A Morgul-Hammer [84x9] (+5) 75,153

Lol, you just can't mean this! This afternoon, I was drawing a flaming character with a cloak of the balrog flame on it, when I have passed my schooltests I will draw it in detail.

Yes, you may send multiple pictures but please be curtious about the size. I don't want to scroll for 1/2 an hour to see one picture!
here is the first one, still need to scan the other...
Nice drawing smallpaul although constructive criticism would be that the only problem is the FB wielding hand, I propose it should actually be up horizontol as while it is down that way it does look slightly on the amateur side, but the rest is top-notch :)

Who are you to critisize the PHYSICS OF MAGIC?
Ok, I have quite a few entries...hope that's ok. And, they obviously weren't drawn specifically for this contest (but for the most part, they are from this past year)...hope that's ok too. Anyways, they are at this site: taylorschall.com
Let me know what you think

Does the picture have to be hand drawn, or can it be done in a graphics program such as illustrator/photoshop?

annuminas, that's way too many pictures on a single page. I have a very high speed connection, and it still took a long time to load. It would probably be better to have thumbnails of your pics, or have them separated over several pages.
That said, they are very good pictures.

That is a ton of nice pictures, it'd be nice if you made a special "CB pic" for the contest ;)

I'm in too, you will get a nice CB2 pic this weekend.
Maybe someone can post how I can get a picture in a post (with HTML)
I'm in also, I can't wait to get my hands on those EXPLOSIVE SHOTS! Well to post a picture, first you need to upload it to a server, such as imageshack.us.
From there imageshack provides you will all the neccessary HTML code you need to post it. Or if you know the URL of the image, the HTML for it is.

I would greatly appreciate a drawing that was actually done for this contest. The current submissions are wonderful though. =D Keep it up!

on taylorschall.com at the bottom: Just a note: I don't claim any of these pictures to be mine other than by the fact that they were drawn by my hand. Most of them are simply copied from pictures I found on the internet.
Should the pictures be originals or can they be copies?
LumpBot

Copies are fine as long as no tracing was done.
I haveing a crack at doing one but its in pen, I might be a few days at it....
Well it took me a while but here it is! My idea of an AMF mage ;D

spaceman: please give it a couple more days, my stepbrother odyseus is working on a really nice drawing, but haven't had the time for it yet (he had a very busy schoolweek) I'm sure that if you give 2 more days, he'll be able to finish it
Odysseus

Finally finished it! This is my interpretation of a single ToE Fireball mage :) Thnx Aco for your cute response and your help with scanning the picture :P
This one has better size :P mspaint saves the day! [Admin: Previous HUGE picture deleted]
Didn't get a chance to whip up something new, but this is something I did a log while back that's remotely linked to CB. Enjoy.

I did this picture awhile back, it actually symbolized my fight to thwart my X-g/f with the help of my friends providing moral support.
But looking at it now, it could very well be a mage and 3 chanters.
The giant glass of orange juice in the backround was from the Denny's mat I drew it on. I don't draw, I didn't mean for this to end up a picture, I just started doodling what I was seeing while listening to the song, and I got this.
Thats an ace pic u got there Ody, a lot of effort went into it obviously ;)

And the winners!
First off, I enjoyed many of the drawings. I hope to do this again soon and hope to get more artists! I was very surprised I had no Microsoft Paint pictures =P
1st: Odysseus because he was the only one to actually draw a pic for the contest!
1st: SilientButDeadly also recieved first because his picture rocked and was done for this contest.
2nd: annuminas because there were a lot of pictures and many well done
3rd: undertow because the story behind the picture was well worth it =P
I want to thank all the effort. Sorry I don't have anymore rares for the other contestants. I think they deserve something so maybe I'll conjure up some extra K.
