Z: So we has a judging... And the toadly Thoad is guest starring as judge while Cenny is away on "holiday" (aka exam stress).
T: *is throwing pins at Cen's picture*
What was that?
Z: Silly thing. You're guest judging, capisce?
T: Oh, that again. Well I have been really excited for it! What with taking care of Cen- I mean... sending him on vacation?
Uh, anyways I've been pretty excited for it and I'll be regular thoad sooner or later on.
Z: Indeed.
Champion's exhibition thingy:
LufffiStudios
T: Yep. It's a champions exhibit alright... I have nothing to say for I am a vegetable. *srs face*
Z: While you vegetate on his entry, I can just say that I am a bit 'whut' on the expression of the faces (they're a bit - scary), but it's true that celebs can be ridiculously trend setting.
T: Yeah, it's true that. I've seen a girl shave her head because she was an hXc Britney fan. It was fun seeing her run out of the school crying that day her friends made fun of her~
Z: Sillies...
Okay, moving on.
First place:
crimsonblade55
T: Yes, this shows how the writers of the world are greatly unappreciated and all you need is a suave haircut and decent acting skills to make it big in hollywood *slicks hair back* you also need to know how to kill a zombie, in 43 different ways.
Z: ... Yeah righhht. Poor writers, though. Can't blame their occasional strikes.
Also interesting way to use the same good ol' characters in a different context.
T: Yep. Shiny bell pepper is shiny, tooo~ *sniffs pepper*
Z: Lulzicals.
Second place:
Cenere
T: Ah yes, the half a**edness is amusing to me, plus it's always nice to see yourself in a piece of ... paint (just kidding, it's art. Don't kill me XD). Even though I can NORMALLY figure out who it is (tennisman, skaterkid, Thoad, Estel (?), moegreche, strop, etc. etc.), it's still a bit of a pain to figure it out, so it got 2nd.
Z: Yeah, despite much amusement from it, its, well, Paintness, drags down... But awesomely amusing to guess people, and a good stick figure representation of most of the well known AGers.
T: Quite~
Z:
Third place:
Cholokid
T: oh yes I loved this one, as it showed the celebrites eyes pretty well. Makes me sad when I said that I wanted to be just like that cody martin person from the suite life of zack and cody.
Z: Is it okay that the reference you just made went completely over my head?
T: Yeah, it's an american show hosted on disney show...long gone that phase thank sweet merciful god.
Z: Lol, fair.
Good entry, yes indeed, and Cholo's getting a good hang of his tablet~
T: Did I mention that I might be getting a tablet this christmas?
Z: I'm not sure whether or not you've mentioned it in this thread, but you told me before, yes~
T: Mmk, next pic now?
Z: Yes~
The rest of the entries, in more or less random order:
xtiamotx
T: ah yes, a rather flashy, glittery, and yet somehow... uneyecandy-ish pic to me. It's not that it isn't DA** IMPRESSIVE, it's just that it's not exactly my kinda thing I guess. Still, good pic overall. I especially like the coloring on the dress~
Z: I still stick with my original "sexeh~" comment.
That, and I envy tiamot's skill of drawing human faces.
T: PFFTHAHAHAHA.
Don't *grunt* all over the screen now zophy.
Z: . . .
Gantic
T: Ah yes, I only got this about... an hour ago where I had to think what it would have anything to celebrities when I linked stars to Celeb's. I have always loved your way of making the theme roundabout yet direct at the same time. It's like the feeling of bittersweet, I get off from it.
yes, I was just kidding.
M: Hopefully.
One of my faves of the entires, but as usual I don't really know what to say about Gantic's stuff.
Also wondering about the 'shining between' thing.
T: Shining between?
Brb, I got the late night snackies~
Z *nod*
Interfulgent. The file name.
T: Back with a snack after I killed shaq!
Z: Ogt2
T: Yes! I loved this one very much and I would have put it in my top 3 if zophia hadn't said she removed it from the list *eyetwitch*. Maybe it's just the style of it, which is normally one that is used for inspirational posters at local schools, but for some reason it makes me feel comfy inside~ The one thing I gotta nitpick aobut is...what's that huge lump on his shoulder?
Z: That wasn't what I said, you confused it with the squiggly one he also posted...
And that would most likely be a shoulder pad.
I don't really have much to say about this one, except that it is well made indeed. Nice illustrational style.
T:....oh f**k. Oh well.
I didn't know shoulder pads went up that far... anyways, next pic.
Z: I would think that had something to do with the style... But yes, next pic.
fst6
T: Ah yes, how nicely....painted. Yes.
Honestly, the britney references are great except for the first one, when did she have orange hair?
Snake n' bacon.
Hamsterjelly. yes.
Z: I'm my usual 'whut' face here.
But yay, sticklebrities.
T: indeed, haha.
Z: Zega
T: ....Neh. I wasn't really all that fond of this entry. Nothing personal, but it just wasn't very interesting to me. It's a decent enough pic, though.
Z: I think it's what would have happened to Peter Parker if the spider that bit him had been a ten foot tall mutant.
Not just a few spidery skills, but that.
T: That reminded me of teenage mutant ninja turtle. Oh well, next pic?
Z: Apocalypse
T: Ah, for some reason, I actually liked this one very very much. It's just really odd how it's a paint job yet I still liked it.
Z: It's kinda cute, though quite silly.
T: indeed
Z: DDX
T: Ah yes, not to sound paranoid but this was a bit riskay on how good it was...like a sudden jump. Not to mention that I thought I saw this as a reference poster on a viral advertising site. But you're getting benefit of the doubt and it's a decent pic, but I never really liked that sort of style.
Z: It's a good pic. Interesting style. And I want whatever kind of scanner was used to scan this...
T: ...I thought this would be digital art...? oh well. lol :P
Z: He said it was "chalk pastel on construction paper". Which is also why I asked for a photograph as evidence for it being his pic. Sucks that we have to be so suspicious, but we've had people fake art skills before...
T: Oooh, I see. Yes the whole dealio's before was a serious drag as there were great arts and now I'm paranoid of newcomers since then. :P Pain in ze buttocks. And strop is vulgar.
Hamsterjelly, yes.
*psychotic smile*
Z: thisisnotanalt
T: Ah yess, this one. It expresses the celebrity road quite well, hard directions, somewhere in the middle before it all smoothens out there's a big hole, and then eventually it's a straight shot to a small hole. If you managed to put a matrix reference of "Take the blue pill and everything shall return to normal, and take the red pill and I'll show you just how far the rabbit hole goes" from the matrix, I'd have dubbed this #1 and have given you 1 interwebz.
Z: ...whut.
T: Matrix reference.
Z: Yeah, got that much.
T: it's a famous line when neo meets the black dude.
Z: I know.
T: Then why did you go "whut."?
Z: Because I could. :P
Sssssnnaakke
And the thing I hope was his official entry because otherwise we messed that bit up:
T: Yes, I just plain didn't get this. It was flashy, colorful, and neony enough to catch my attention but the lack of a joke left me going "whut" and just lookign away. Meaning it's an attention grabber but it can't hold my attention for more than 10 seconds...
No offense it's a decent enough pic but I don't get it whatsoever.
1h:30m of judging in the counting~
Z: Hey, we're fast.
T: ...oh, was that the last of the entries? o.o
Z: It was.
T: OH mai! I hadn't even known.
Well, so what's the new theme?
Z: Lulzicals.
And I dunno, we discuss this now?
T: ah, sure. How about "Modspam"?
Z: Think that can really work as a theme? 'Moderators didn't get a particularly good amount of entries...
T: ...good point.
Z: Why thank you. *bow*
T: Hmm, how about...games?
Z: I think that one has already been made. You stopped pursuing a 'war' theme?
T: ...Good point! War tiem anyone? :3
Do I get to see people having their brains splattered all over a wall from a AA12 now?!
MEWANT, MEWANT!!!!
Z: ... Lol.
Theme: War
Deadline: Monday, March 18th
T: HELL YEAH! BRING YOUR GUNS, BRING YOUR G.I. SHOVELS, FOR THE THOAD HAS PREVAILED! ALL MODS SHALL KNEEL BEFORE MY AWESOME MIGHT!!!!
and I was only half serious that time, new record!
Z: ... *forces Thoad down on his knees, tying the leash in his newfound collar to a ring in the ground* Now if I leave you there for a week, you'll be duly excited for next week's judging.
T: ...Oh you know just the way to turn me on don't you ms. BDSM?
*bursts out laughing*
Z: And with that highly inappropriate note, we're off for this time~
T: G'night everybody! *animaniacs pose*
When War Ain't Enough!
War is brutal, but so too can be what comes after!
So here's my submission.
