I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Does it have to be a tank?

Friday, October 13, 2006 at 3:54:44 PM

It needs to be one of the 5 tanks. Light, Medium, Heavy, BabyBoss or Boss.

BTW, I've already received one submission! O_O

I will also be releasing a new version of my tank template, with even more little additions to make your skin look as nice and organized as possible.

BTW, my muse informs me that I am competing in this challenge, so I will not be checking the submissions until after I have finished mine. That way I'm not influenced at all by any of your submissions.

But that also means I'm not reading the emails either. So if you have any questions, either post them here or send them to my regular email in my profile.

BTW, does anybody know if Dr Saw is participating this time around? Perhaps she got tired of kicking our butts. %)

4. Must not have name on skin any where please

 


Do you meen your name or the skins?

Thursday, October 19, 2006 at 10:39:54 AM

Agaboogah. Computer lab was closed all this week, which meant I couldn't work on it at all. May have to withdraw... Nah. Won't be as good as I wanted it to be.

Pardon my rudeness, I cannot abide useless people.

Thursday, October 19, 2006 at 2:12:08 PM

@Tally - I be okay. Not great, not bad, but okay. You?

@ChoroinicIce - Your name cannot be on the tank anywhere. You can put the skin name on it all you like, as that does not give away any information (and no, you canNOT name the skin ChoroinicIce XD )

@PGG - well, get busy! ;)

Thursday, October 19, 2006 at 8:39:38 PM

^ What if he names it "Ice"? What about "Choroinic" or some variation of that? :P

Ah, where's the doc at? She should be here to show us another woop-arse skin... :(

Friday, October 20, 2006 at 6:52:02 PM

Well maybe she thought that she would win everytime so she dieced to give us a chance?
Or
Maybe she is so loaded down with other work, that she can't. Oh well...it should be interesting on whom wins hehe

Saturday, October 21, 2006 at 5:38:55 AM

Submitted!

Funny, the one I meant to put together quickly ended up taking most of my time. Hopefully I'll still be able to get a second one done in time.

Oct 26: Looks like just one entry after all. Gotta head out of town.

Do I win? Scariest tank ever. Doesn't it give you the chills? :S

Saturday, October 28, 2006 at 9:54:42 AM

No the scariest would be a pic of Hilary Clinton.

EDIT: Entered :).

Whoops. Almost posted all the skins a day early... :S

I will post them all tomorrow night for voting, so be ready!

One last day to get those submissions in! Since I'm going to post them tomorrow night, please try to have them in before then if at all possible.

Thanks!

Dang! Can't wait to see them!

Monday, October 30, 2006 at 1:01:56 AM

All I have so far are loaded. Since the deadline for entries is actually midnight tonight, it is possible I will get more skins. If you submit a skin after this post, do not post in this thread, merely make sure it's emailed to me and I'll get it in in the morning.

 

Monday, October 30, 2006 at 5:59:25 PM

Hehe....
Happy Halloween all!

Correction to the Pumpkin skin previews - I goofed up a bit. Correct Previews are now loaded. My apologies.

Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 6:26:12 AM

BTW, the voting may now begin. You have until Nov 4th to vote for the skin of your choice.

Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 6:28:48 AM

I don't like any of them, but #2, Pumpkin gets my vote by a long shot.

Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 7:50:22 AM

Mine..... Might have a chance.... A very, very tiny one..... I didn't have any good ideas... That's.... The best I got for the halloween theme :P.

EDIT: I used a lot of pauses huh...

My vote goes to pumpkin, same reason as CB. I wouldn't ever want to use any of those skins, but #2 looks like a bit of work went into it.

Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 4:49:13 PM

It's funny how it is actually pretty easy to tell who's skin is made by who because of their styles... ;)

I vote for Pumpkin for great symmetry and style.

That's another whippersnapper belted by the feared AncientOne!

Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 6:23:40 PM


Pumpkin That Exploded!

</</div>

Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 6:55:58 PM

Hmm... For some reason, I thought the due date was the 31st. Oh well. TMO, I sent the skin to you anyway seeing as I could not get TST to work corectly. Wow, after looking at the skins, mine would have been whooped anyways.

Pardon my rudeness, I cannot abide useless people.

Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 7:41:51 PM

Lol am I the only one who likes them all?

I vote for pumpkin, with exploded and mummy coming in close behind.

Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 8:15:14 PM

Oooo... And a late entry by an artist whose name shall NOT be mentioned slides into slot #7!!!

Those of you who have already voted may change your vote if you so desire. If you say nothing, your votes shall remain unchanged.

Let the voting continue!!!

Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 8:41:12 PM

Wow..just realised how bad mine looks.. %)

Wednesday, November 01, 2006 at 1:10:49 AM

Gotta hook up with Racer for #2.
If the skinner could send me the skin including all parts, thanks!

EDIT: email is in profile

All artists have the option of publishing their skins after the contest is over. I believe most if not all of us do that.

Wednesday, November 01, 2006 at 6:42:50 AM

Please make all future votes in this thread .

Wednesday, November 01, 2006 at 6:16:49 PM

Just to make sure folks go to the correct location, I'll lock this one down.
