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.

@Zega, not true, but if Estel didn't enter, you would have a chance to win, your pokemon is awesome.

I don't know if this is allowed, but it is technically sticks... It's just something I never really completed.

Z: So... *sticks finger in ASC* Judging.
C: Wow, long time, two judges...
Z: Been a while, yeah.
C: Better skip to it, then. Last week's winner waaass.....
Z: Uhm...
kingryan!

C: Oh, uhm, really? Good for hiiim! > >....
Anyway, off to first.
Zega!!

Z: A stickman of sticks~ Awesome~
Now if he'd been sticky too, that would just have been fun~
C: A sick stick sticking to a sick sitcking stickman?
Z: Why are there no sticker entries?
C: There was a sticking entry... Anyway: Zega, nice drawing, it was a creative solution.
Z: Yep~
C: So... Second is Crimson:

Z: Can't say it's not creative, can we? Multitasking stick, almost.
C: I'll just stare at it for a while. Nothing to add, really.
Z: Alright.
C: Now, for the third we have Estel.

Z: Mostly for the text, though text-supported entries are usually somewhat frowned upon.
C: Well, he did draw a stick...
Z: He did.
C: So, on with the list? Can we hurry it up a bit?
Z: We can try.
C: Fluffybunny

Well, it is.. a stickman with a stick... And a lot of text.
Z: Yeah.. It is.
C: Well, RPoAG

and the epic fight versus the... not so epic fight. It reminds me of DBz, because of the looooong fights looking like that (when it was actually fighting and not either charging or talking)
Z: Transparent heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaads.
C: ... You need sleep.
Pixie

Blurry stick is blurry.
Z: I really do...
And it is. Nice thorns, though.
C: Yup.
Goumas

Small stickguy, big not so stick man? It reminds me of "Animation vs Animator".
Z: Now that you mention it, that's true. Also, the guy looks rather displeased with the stick
C: It must be the chosen one...
ALT!

We are one? ... Nice, song now repeating in brain... CURSE YOU LION KING 2!!
Z: Lawlawlawl.
Nice colours~ Very simple entry. I think.
C: Indeed. It looks.. Nice. Like pretty, only less girly. ... *headdesk*
Z: You sound like you need sleep too.
C: Mom dragged me out of bed earlier than I am use to... Uhm.
Flippin

It... Sticks.
Z: I wonder what it is?
C: Peanut butter and jam?
Z: Purple jam?
C: Are you sure you want to know?
Z: Hmmmm... Maybe not.
C: Though so.
Tuna says hi.

He likes dark backgrounds?
Z: Seems like it~
C: Well, who doesn't.
Krizaz

Uhm, not so... Stick....
Z: There is a stick...
And a tree.
C: Reminds me of my own idea (I never draw these days, and it sucks): Picture of tree. Picture of tree with someone yelling fetch outside the frame. Picture of giant dog running in, graping the tree in its jaws, yanking it out of the dirt, and runs back. "Good boy"
Z: Aww, cute.
C: Should have been called "Everything is relative".
Z: Lulz.

Done now?
C: Yes, done now. Do you have a theme, or should I go with my "Poltergeist and bad weather from last time"?
Z: Sure, go with it~
C: Hmmkay.

Theme: Poltergeist and Bad Weather
Deadline: 3rd of August

Z: Arwarwarwarwarwarawrrrr... Sleep...
C: Sleep tight then.
Z: Can't, needa go do stuff.
C: I know, just being nice, I guess... Anyway, posting.
Z: Wee~

Remember what we said in the "rhinoes and penguins" round? And the &quotortals and spoons"?

You have to make an entry that follows the theme. If you can convey &quotoltergeist and bad weather" without actually drawing either, feel free to do so~

No *Points at joining date*
But thanks for clarifying.

Transparent heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaads

You do need sleep, why was that for? Did you noticed I used the airbrush tool or were you seeing ghosts?

Or you came up with the theme at that exact moment?
