Hate to admit but @hypnotoad has a very good point. Enough good that you @SD should stick it behind your ear as a reminder for next cup whenever such is.

As for the contest hope ya’ll entrees have as much fun creating as we peasants have watching the stuff :wink:

My humble contribution. Feels like I failed with the shadows, but I’m not that advanced Paint.NET user. Also Phantom is kinda hard to spot from the picture. Either way, I tried and Hi to all forum users.


(dazzlingGlen) #16

Is it fine if it’s handmade?


(BlackboltLW) #17

Oh yeah, does animated entry allowed?

not actually creating it tho, I’m just wondering

“Entrant forever waives any rights of copyrights, trademark rights, privacy rights, and any other legal or moral rights that may preclude the Sponsor’s use of the artwork, or require any entrant’s permission for the Sponsor to use the artwork.” ~on the full list of rules

can someone explain to me what this means? it sounds like to me if we submit anything we wave all rights of the artwork. like we would not get any credit if it was used or shown? i’m assuming this would also mean we couldn’t sign the artwork either? i would love to enter i just want to make sure i have all the facts before i jump into something :slight_smile:


(The_N00Ba) #19

It looks like you are giving them just about full permission to use the piece of artwork you summit.

It’s there so that if you submit a picture, and they really like it and put it on facebook or use it in a trailer or something, you can’t sue them.
