Since SorryGuy seems to have left us for the forseeable future, the faithful members of the monthly artwork contest are left without a moderator-type-individual. Until such time as someone better qualified is appointed, I've offered my services. That said, this month's theme is...
Vanguard
Pick your favorite avatar from the Vanguard set and draw a picture of him/her. For a complete list of Vanguard characters, head over to Cabal City's Vanguard Section. You have until May 28th at midnight, GMT, at which time voting will comence.
But wait! There's more!!!
In addition to your artwork submission for this month, please nominate someone to replace SorryGuy as the moderator of the monthly artwork contest. Or even better, volunteer! I'll post a poll at the end of the month (probably about the same time as I post the one for the artwork submissions) and we can vote for the new mod. NEVER MIND!
If you'll scroll down, you'll notice that Nex3 was contacted by SorryGuy earlier, but just didn't post a topic before the masses took up their pens and pencils. (He claims he forgot; I think he's just embarassed that a penguin can waddle to the "Create New Thread" button faster than he can. ;))
Yeah, I'm in agreeance that the 25th is a better date. Its not a problem for me, but a lot of contributers generally struggle to get their entries in by the 25th... let alone by the 18th.
Also, perhaps those interested in taking over the contest should make an expression of interest. I can imagine it's a fairly weighty, time consuming job at times, which is possibly why SorryGuy (and all the previous competition organisers) disappeared.

A list of duties would be good here. From what I can tell:
Give topic in thread. Sticky thread (somehow).
After all submissions are in, make a new thread incorporating all submissions. Put up a poll. Sticky thread (somehow).
I'm sure there's the "Help the people out" part where you answer questions and give the A.O.K. on certain subjects/ect, but what else is there?
EDIT: I'm assuming MTGO Vangaurd's are available for choosing as well?
Ah! Sorry, that's my bad. I meant 28th. Yeah, 18th is way too little time. Sorry!
And yes, any Vanguard character will be just fine. It was my understanding that Cabal City had proxies of the MTGO characters, but if there are characters that CC is missing, if someone could provide links to a page that lists the ones not on CC, that would be fan-frakkin-tastic.
Good luck to everyone. Unfortunately, recieving zero votes doesn't really get me enthused to do another piece, so I doubt I will. Oh well, hope everyone else's is good.
Noose, you should participate if you feel inspired! It's not about the voting, it's about the fun we have as a comunity doing magic art and sharing it with others! I mean how many people actually vote each month, like 50 tops? And there is no prize or anything, so the votes don't really matter you know? So enter if you like the topic and have fun with it!!
I've never recieved a vote, but that never stops me.
I had a hard time with last months topic, given I had so many choices that I could just riffle through and choose a new topic if I couldn't make a go of one idea. Now I'm being punished with all the vangaurd cards *
*I usually do better if only one "subject" is given.
Very cool. I checked the link. I never knew there were so many Vangaurd charachters. I read up on the story line a little and think I have my choice. Since I flaked out last month I'm due for a project

Hrm... I'll go along with it this time, but next time you should contact your friendly moderator.
Thread Stickied.
A thouseand appologies, o benevolent mod-man! I may have done so if I thought there were time (one member of the contest whose name escapes me wanted it up before the weekend, and last time I tried to contact the mods it tooke a while before I got a response; which will not always be the case, I know, but I wanted to be sure to get it up in time for said member's free weekend) and reason to do so (I was unaware contests such as this required mod approval since they are largely projects of the members). Next time (if such a time ever presents itself; God forbid) I'll know better.
Thank you for being so understanding.
Umm... question. You say vanguard but is this original 4 series vanguard or does it include the MTGO vanguard? i.e. 2 for most sets...
just wondering...
cheers,
Rayne
As I suspected. However, MTG (in the traditional sense) never had online Vangaurd. Assuming FPM wanted to do this from a classical stand point (As I suspected, seeing that he does seem like a classical stand point guy), I wasn't sure, as it really gives people alot more options to choose from.
Also:

Strongly favoring Etched Oracle, Sliver Queen, Greven Il-Vec, or Selenia.
The thing about doing the named characters is that they're highly stylized. I'm tempted to do Gerrard just because he has always sucked so hard in my opinion. Greven is a great character though.. I dunno.
I'll vote for who ever does Squee.

Do you need a holder for this? Anyway, since this may be my first submission ever, is it ok if someone else does the coloring? I dont have photoshop. I actually drew the piccy on lined paper, with pencils...... is that too Noob?
Personally, it's my feeling that it would be fine for two people to team up on a submission, and very cool to have a hand-drawn submission. As long as it fits within the dimensions.

When I posted this, I thought it was on the Weekly Avatar/Sig contest, where I don't have authority and something hand-drawn would be cool. That's what comes from having lots of tabs open, I suppose. Anyway, the point still stands; yes, it's fine if you draw it and someone else colors it.

SorryGuy asked me to be his replacement, and I agreed. I hadn't realized that I still needed to do one this month, though :-/.

It appears I'd be not the only one confused.
In either case, I still don't know which to do

heheh... done and done.
Scan it in, I'll see if I can remove the lines and tighten it up a bit, but no promises on the coloring! (haven't even started my own yet)
