The OFFICIAL Lemmings Forums Art Challenge

[Adam]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Lemmings Forums Art Challenge.
(Another game stolen from another forum I visit.. never mind.)

The rules are simple:
1. The competition must be able to be completed in Paint, or similar software
2. The winner of each challenge can either set a challenge or call open floor.
3. The person who sets the challenge judges their challenge and decides who wins.

If this takes off, I propose that every week (or so) we have a drawing competition, each with a theme. However, the challenges must have some ridiculous twist.
Okay, my challenge to you is quite simple:
Draw a cat in Paint with your eyes closed!

I've attached my example to show you just how amazing my drawing skills are with my eyes closed.

[Gronkling]

I love this sort of game!




Well you can sort of see it's eyes... 

[Adam]

That's brilliant!

I've just seen your ImageShack username.. I recognise it from Serebii, would I be right there?

[Gronkling]

Yes, I go on the serebii forums occasionally (but haven't posted much). Thats my old username that I used for everything in 2007-2008. 

[Adam]

I didn't even bother signing up, so you're one step ahead of me!

[Gronkling]

I've only posted 3 times so it's extremely suprising that you recognised my name. 

[Adam]

Splootle stuck in my mind for some reason.

[Simon]

You can select colors for both mouse buttons before drawing anything.

[Chrish]

My very poor attempt

Still looks cute if you ask me!

[Adam]

I like it.. I love the big round eyes!

[geoo]

You can select colors for both mouse buttons before drawing anything.

My Paint can't do that, you should be disqualified. (Especially as your cat looks too awesome.)

Below is my attempt. (It's from the backside, in case you don't recognize.)

[Matt]

Here be my attempt.  I used my Bamboo Pen tablet, so idk if that is cause for disqualification or not.  But it WAS done with my eyes closed.

[GigaLem]

Here's my best atempt

[Adam]

Okay, it's been about a week.. taking everything into account, I think I'm going to declare Simon the winner here - the use of two colours swayed it for me!

[Simon]

Hmmm, thanks. :-) There were a couple of great other ones as well.

New Challenge: Draw (with the restriction explained afterwards) the cute chameleon couple from DragonsLover's levelpack Mikepack 14, level 8:



You can do a variation on the theme if you like. Bonus points for heart-shaped tails and likewise gimmicks. The dubious twist to the challenge is the following time restriction:

• Set a timer. Stop painting 30 seconds after you start.
• You may set up the palette, hotkeys, canvas size, ... ahead of the 30 seconds countdown, if necessary.
• After the 30 seconds have run out, you may only crop/resize the image, save it, and upload it.

If you have Flash, you can use online-stopwatch.com, it will play a sound when the countdown has finished.

I am going to do this later today as well.
