Bad Illustrating Contest

[Lefdmae Deemalr Effaeldm]

Some pole dancing



And Frosty allowed me to announce the end of this round, the winner is supposed to be chosen in a fittingly weird and evil way, so it is by voting democratically.

[shadowbinding shoe]

I like this dancing Lord. Is it Elena at the Colossus?

[Lefdmae Deemalr Effaeldm]

Are you asking seriously?

Lord Foul wielding the Staff of Law.
Go and make SRD scream. Now.

I think I'll try... particularly if I manage to form a remotely child-friendly version of the picture that came to my mind after seeing the new task. I'm afraid I might need to think out something else though... and perhaps finally replace the "Charles Atlas Song/ I Can Make You A Man" that I have as my ringtone

[deer of the dawn]

So are you posting a poll, or do we just state our preference?

Sorry It's been so long I didn't make the connection.

I consider it better to state the preference, so that those chosen feel loved And that's also not cluttering the Mallory's with poll threads. Adding saying why that particular image is that bad is even better

I haven't even dicided myself yet who I'm going to vote for, all are so good, I mean so bad

Sorry It's been so long I didn't make the connection.

No need to be sorry And it was quite amusing to hear

[Shuram Gudatetris]

Well, this one is easy.

Staff of LOVE?!

shoe's is so bad, I can't even wrap my head around it. It's freaking awesome(-ly bad). You got the source (FBH), for starters, which is arguably the magnum opus of "bad" representation of TCTC, dancing bunnies which put the monkey to shame, raining love baptising the Despiser in a flood of hearts , and did I mention he is freaking wielding the Staff of LOVE, for crying out loud?

I didn't say so back then when it was first posted, but really did laugh out loud, which I only do every so often. And then when I revisited this thread recently, I EOL'd a curse.

His is the kind of poetic artistry that inspires me to sink to new lows.

[deer of the dawn]

Shuram, I have to second what you said so very well.

Badness has been brought to a new nadir with Shoe's sparkly LF.

[Lefdmae Deemalr Effaeldm]

Are there any more votes?

[Savor Dam]

Sure. For scoops of sheer badness, it's snow contest: WF's Home Alone In Gravin Threndor!

[Lefdmae Deemalr Effaeldm]

Frosty asked me to give her vote for Shoe's atrocty

And I guess I had to decide myself who to vote for anyway... I vote for Shuram Gudatetris. The practically nonexistent edit on the image is worth a lot (I have to admit I like to see both lots of effort and practically none on this contest), and the image itself... Reminds me of how I imagined Lord Foul looking much like Yngwie Malmsteen... oh wait, I still do www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIN1BHbkpXA

*edited because I had a blonde moment.... too many of those lately*

[Lefdmae Deemalr Effaeldm]

Will it be fine to count the votes sometime at the beginning of the next week? Should be enough for most of the interested people to vote. Got to start a new and freshly horrible round

[Lefdmae Deemalr Effaeldm]

I think we can safely announce a winner now

shadowbinding shoe, congratulations!

Thanks to everyone for the awesomely bad entries wayfriend's barely tied together collage, deer's messed up Vader quote, shoe's winning FBH Foul with sweet candy and minimalistic TLD cover, Shuram's toy-like Power Rangers Foul - all are more than worthy additions to the collection of Bad art

[shadowbinding shoe]

Thank you everyone I enjoyed this contest. There were some great entries.

All right. I've come up with the next contest:

As we all know, in the Land different sides of Thomas Covenant manifest themselves as autonomous characters. When Covenant meets his attractive daughter Elena, Covenant is smitten. He also feels moral recriminations about that feeling and maybe a few other things. Lets see these sides as full blown characters and let them have their say. They can all be (mini?) Covenants or they can be your choice of Land characters.

I'm going minimalist this time.

Argggh! What an awesome/awful contest statement!!! Wow, that's kinda irresistible... *sigh*

Cracked me up. I like how you stuck "crepuscular" and a few others in there.

(and then "giggly" at the end! (?!?!))

[Lefdmae Deemalr Effaeldm]

Well done, deer! Reminds me I wanted to make some like these with Dr. Frank-N-Furter, but without text

shadowbinding, thanks for an interesting contest topic. Not completely sure yet, but I think I have half an idea

(and then "giggly" at the end! (?!?!))

No worries, this "giggly" is hardly nicer than "rapey"

Seeing as they would all be "h*rny"...

Yes, and looks much better, too.
