Hello and welcome!

2. Submissions must follow the current theme that has been chosen by a moderator for that week. If you submit more than one piece, please clarify which one you would like to be judged.
3. If your image is larger than 600 pixels wide, please provide a link to the image instead of posting it in the forum. Otherwise, the image will be cut off.
4. Artists cannot win in subsequent weeks. You can still submit, but if you won the week before, you cannot get first place again the next week.
5. After the deadline, a moderator will pick the winner, and they will be awarded a 25 AP award.

Hi, sorry to be a butt again, but, uhm, this morning there was an announcement in the radio about at dinosaur running around in town, so... Judging probably delayed... Dure to... Dino hunting. Yeah.

Z: *in the middle of drinking second half-litre-mug of water* Waaaaaaaaaaaaaateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerr^w^
C: *patpat*
Z: Judging?
C: Just give me the time to write it down, huh? There.
Z: D: Nevah!
Just kidding, of course. *passes Cen note with theme suggestion for this week*
C: *looks at note* Did we ever find out what Howlett had in mind?
Z: *water flavored burp* Don't think so? *noms more water*
C: > >... Very... Elegant...
Z: Water? *slurp* But! We has a Champion's Exhibition thingy. Let's present it before I spill on it~
C: Hmm, yes, better do that. Now, it was... Gantic.

Z: With the rooster~The hidden rooster~
C: Yes...
Z: Nothing to say?
C: Well, nope, not really. It looks... okay, I guess?
Z: It does. But very angry. Stay awaaaaaaaay from teh angry roosters! D:
C: Hmm, I just ate, but I am still hu... What? Oh, yeah, roosters... Should we take the disqualified pictures as well, for the fun of it?
Z: Yours first. It's not disqualified, it just can't be entered.
Pokemods!
C: *stare* Oh, yeah... That....
Z: C'mon, nice play of words. Self disser.
C: I know, I know. But really...
Z: But as said. Nice. Humorous. Moving on now because you hate positive attention~
C: Nah, I just... Nevermind... And I do not have the link, so if you wanted it to be shown, well...
Z: Here we go. :P
Browser history is a sweet thing^^
C: Yeah, sure, what ever... So, now what? Mentioning or showing or something?
Z: First place?
C: We could do that, I guess.
Congrats, Ubertuna.

Z: Weeeeee~
You link it?
C: Uhm... He linked it... But fine.... *changes code*
Z: You don't have to. >_>
C: ... And what a lovely picture out of... What a lovely picture.
Z: Nice tombstone. Armatar symbols. Stuff.
Is it apparent that I've been awake for a good 24 hours again?
C: *facepalm* Aaand, break. *walks off*
Z: *blinks repeatedly*
*dozes off*
C: *gets back* Anyway, Ubertuna's picture. Nice idea, I am sure you miss them, and I have heard good about them. Probably the most creative of the entries.
Z: *yawns* I agree.
Or something less Lige-y.
C: Probably. For the second place we got... Uhm, KingRyan.

Mod on a can, it seems.
Z: With the mangled-testicle-brain leaking out~
C: And Yazzelh-tail. Hmm, very... Interesting. And... *moves hand a little* Funny.... Annnd... Can.
Z: Can can can?
C: *deletes text* Yes, draw that.
Z: Can.
C: *sigh* As you readers probably have found out, Zophia is rather tired and without any concentration, while I am slightly unimpressed by the entries this week. Anyway, third place goes to Luffistudios.

Z: Moderator statue of honour thingy?
C: Most likely. Luffi, you have a nice handwriting. Looks rather well, the statue.
Z: I actually just fell asleep on my laptop. We better hurry with this...
C: *facepalm* Probably.
Crimson

With all the dangerous weapons there is in the moderator team, I find it rather interesting that none has been killed. And that I was not allowed to dream of a sniper rifle.
Z: I like that entry. Though Sasquatch clearly needs to be more careful...
And lol.
C: Yeah. Still interesting with the axes and deadly magic and all...
Cholo

The most feared moderator. Didn't he loose in a fight with someone?
Z: *attemps t owrite a joke, yttuely fails*
C: I think he did. Bruce Lee or someone...
Thoad

Yes... Hoped for something with your nice expressions. But the ... uhm, seal of the moderators.
Z: Cen, I'm really really sorry about this, but I jeep dozing of...
C: Fine, closing up...
Z: Sorry... Know what, be right back. *walks off*
There we go, so much more awake now.
Where were we?
C: Was just in the middle of the next thing, but fine... The next.
Apocalypse

There. Now, comment again.
Z: "Strop on a foggy day, yay~"
C: Yes.
Z: Weeeee~
C: > >... And NOW... The disqualified. Show or mention?
Z: Hmm, mention.
First, the actual disqualification, for lack of - "artistic input". Also known as a completely text based (non-ASCII) entry.
C: Zega's... Yes, it is hard to mention it as an image, when it was... Text.
Z: Text, on an image file, though.
C: Yes. And then there was the "Convenient, but not really following the rule of drawn by round".
Z: It's an epic-win drawing, but doesn't follow that rule, no. Very nice drawing though.
C: Yes... Now, that was the end of a... disappointing round. And before Strop begin making posts about how I am rude saying it, well... It was. People are usually rather creative, and it is nice to judge and laugh and make up good comments. This time... It was harder. Zophia was tired, I, well, I missed the usual creativity. It came to the point where I was actually hoping for mine to win (fluff it), because the rest was a little... Uninteresting.
Most likely going to get bashed for this, huh...
Z: *picks Cen up and tugs him in a pocket*
There there. New theme, new chance for entries?
C: But I was hoping... I apologize for the rude comments, sorry people...
Anyway, yes. Theme, entries. Zophia puppyeyed me, so this week's theme is going to be

Shiny Things/Shinies
Deadline: 27th of April, Monday

Z: *nuzzles the Cenling in the pocket*
Shinies^^
C: If I act nicely, can I then haz a cookie?
Z: Yes, I'll even make it a shiny one. With shiny chocolate chips in.
C: That sound a little scary, but okay. Hopefully the judging will be better next week... Sowwy peoplez...
Z: /judging~
C: *feels extremely bad for rudeness anyway* Cwookie? Gimme?
Z: *gives cwookie-cookie*
