The Iceye Hath Spoken

Okay, someone decided it's my turn with the drawing challenge, I don't know who, but fine. I find this decision-making difficult. Well. My challenge will be as follows: I want you to draw a BBEG in some sort of throne or podium or other position of power, that's open for interpretation. Don't know what a BBEG is? Shame on you. Big Bad Evil Guy, of course.

I dispute the Nightflyer's statement of keeping the blog simple. It would be fun to be responsible for its appearance every now and then, maybe while you decide the challenge? Don't have to change it if you don't want, pimp it if you do want to. No?

I guess there should be a time limit. Two weeks from now? So the tenth of february all pics should be posted. I hope everyone has a scanner. Eat me out if that came too soon. And alert all drawers that the bureau of art has initiated its sequence!

GL, HF!

Haha, I don't mind a little pimping once in a wile. That system should work. Just thought that, you know, people would puke on me if I did...

I vote yay. =P

We should also add that we can't critizise the look of the blog when it's someone else's pimping turn, unless the layout makes it impossible to post pics and stuff. Everyone should have their own artistic freedom ^^

can't... resist... brainwashing...

*morphs into giant Grammar Nazi Mode*

Having a creative and forceful vocabulary is good, but I think you should have written "eat me" instead of "eat me out". Shorter and less precise, but it's got more of an "explitive" quality when it's shorter. Cf. the traditional "blow me", which sounds better than "blow me off."

*morphs back, anime-like, collapses on the ground with a glowing rune reading 'dictionary' still pulsating on his forehead*

I hate when that happens.

Riklurt said...

It *was* creative use of vocabulary though. Also do we post all the pictures here directly on the site? I suppose so.

Nightflyer said...

Yeah dummie. ^^

Yeonni said...

The "eat me out" part was actually meant as a wordplay, just like the drawers and bureau. But in retrospect I might have watched too much of The L Word before writing this post =P

Yeonni said...

And wait, blow me off? What is that? Do people actually say that? o_O

Rik said...

Hm. I need to shake off my conservativism in language, I fear.

I've never heard anyone *say* "blow me off", but it is grammatically correct?

Yeonni said...

The term "blow me" is an expression, so its grammars become special, no? I don't know. But I don't really see where that "off" fits into it's meaning

My drawing is done! ^^ But I'm not posting it yet =P

Rik said...

Aww... You're a fast one, aren't you?

I'm done with *something*, but it's really boring. I hope I have time to make another one.

Yeonni said...

Mine is rather boring too, actually, quite the cliché, but I'm going to be boring this time, because it was my challenge =P

I guess I'm pretty much done too - he's like some freak lovechild between Orochimaru and Edward Scissorhands...

Anyway, my suggestion of "pimpin' up" the blog is that we simply make a montage of pictures we've done and put it as a header background. We could take the heads of our BBEG's for example.

Y'know, that's something we can do everytime we've finished a challege: Change the header background to fit the most recent one.

Nefandus said...

Got my own blog now, btw.

Yeonni said...

Yay!

And it's a good idea (about the pimpin')!

Yeonni said...

As answer to a question; we should all post on the 10th exactly, or as close as possible. My reason for this is childish and perfectionistic; we should not influence each other, so in case someone hasn't drawn until the day before deadline, we should try to let them do that in peace.
