Dragon Warrior

Great responses. Here's a new one. Feel free to still post about the first one. [center][size=3][b]Who?[/b][/size] [img]http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/2568/who2ws.jpg[/img][/center]

Well, folks, for the first time this competition, I must remove a competitor. Hard choice, but I'm afraid Ozymandius Jones will be leaving us. Sorry, love. [center][img]http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2843/roundthree0yl.jpg[/img][/center] The next round opens a new kind of job. I feel this one is incredibly exciting! You're making a wanted poster! But not just any wanted poster--one displaying me as the evil OtakuBoards genius that I am >:^D Requirements are: [list][*]A picture of a black mage being evil. [*]Wanted Poster looks like it's printed on crappy old parchment [*]Writing on it must contain "WANTED" [*]Writing on it must contain "Dragon Warrior" [*]Writing on it must contain "Reward: $1,000,000,000,000" [*]Writing on it must contain reasons I'm wanted for. Use your imagination (avoid stuff over PG :P) [*]Writing on it must contain "BEWARE: Dragon Warrior is very sexy!" [*]Image must be 300x400 [*]Use your creativity to add any other nifty stuff to it![/list] I hope you all have fun with this. I know I would. Here's a craptastic example for you to get an idea. [img]http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/5508/wanted9yx.jpg[/img] [b]Due Date:[/b] Friday EDIT: I just noticed my poster lacks three zeroes on the reward. Don't make that mistake ;)

No, Kitty, it isn't a soda can, it's a smoothie can. And yes, Sapphire, it's Frusion, not Fusion, but I put "Fusion Time" because that's the play on words in Frusion. Yeeeaahh... To me it means someone has been having a boring day and they need something to drink... but not just anything... a Dannon Frusion! Yeeee-haw! P.S. I took that picture of the hand and the Frusion and edited it in CS. Hehe, that's my hand, dude!

[quote name='Who Am I?][COLOR=Red][SIZE=1]Must be a cool thing to live in a pirate ship. =P[/SIZE'][/COLOR][/quote] Being a fantasy RPG, he's exaggerated on what a pirate ship [i]really[/i] has in real life. What ship has a garden? Honestly! XD But I like it nevertheless. Like you said, Kamuro, it gives everyone freedom. It's some fancy ship. But let's get this puppy goin'.

Hello, fellow Otakulites. This thread is made for me to submit my random art and work, but there's a catch! You will see the image and you post what you think it means. There is no right or wrong answer. Feel free to comment on the graphic work I did, but that's not really what this is for. Nevertheless, here it is: [center][size=3][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Fusion Time, Biatch![/FONT][/size] [img]http://img288.imageshack.us/img288/2095/fusiontime3iu.jpg[/img] [b]What's this mean to you?[/b][/center] When enough comments come for this, I'll post another.

Perhaps the person dreamt they were the grim reaper and this was a part of their dream. It seems like a logical thing XD I've dreamt I was a knight in King Arthur's Court before. Hey, it could happen!

Though sakurasuka might be dropping out (Shut your mouth, what a horrid thing to say!), I will still be removing one of the contestants. I cannot let you all off every time someone has to leave ;) So still do your best because if you don't... boop!

Hm, that's very interesting. I like it. It's somewhat what I was thinking it meant. Death saw life and therefore was confused. But this seems like a good idea for a thread. I think I'll make a thread where I post artistic pieces and have people put in their thoughts on what they think it means. I like that kinda crap XD Thanks for your input.

This is a simple piece I made in the good ole Photoshop CS :) Here's the thing... you tell me what you think it means... [img]http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/1301/dididreamit5wg.jpg[/img]

Thanks :) [b]Ranger Jameson: Episode 2- [i]Die Another Earth Day[/i][/b] is complete, but I have nowhere to host it at the moment... besides, I kinda only want to host it on Flashplayer.com. I'll wait until Ranger Jameson: Episode 1 is accepted there before submitting Episode 2. Right now I'm plotting my next series. I have a few ideas I'm tossing around and I'm not sure what ones to do. I'll explain my first... [center][b]Luf[/b][/center] [img]http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/5425/luf7io.jpg[/img] "Luf" isn't the title set in stone. I'm not sure what to call the series, but it seemed appropriate to name it that after the main character, Luf. [b]Characters:[/b] [img]http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/1521/kritteravatar20zc.jpg[/img][b]Luffy Kritter:[/b] This is Luffy, the main character of the series. The show is basically about following him on his adventures. The deal is, Luf is pretty much retarded, to say the least. He's not very smart, but is carefree and doesn't always know what he's doing. That makes for great comic relief. [img]http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/4174/girl20un.jpg[/img][b]Roe:[/b] Roe is the human girl that follows Luf around and makes sure he stays out of trouble. She loves the little guy like a fuzzy little pet, so she does her darndest to make sure her best friend is as happy as can be. [img]http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/1162/smitts2kl.jpg[/img][b]Smitten Kritter:[/b] My personal favorite character is Smitten Kritter. Since he is in fact [i]evil[/i], he prefers to be called Smitts. His role in the show is simply to be the evil genius behind everything, including ruling the world and trying to destroy his twin brother, Luf. His main joke is that he never knows why he does stuff. He wants to rule the world, but he doesn't know why. He wants to rid himself of Luf, but he doesn't know why. He's obsessed with the color purple, but... you guessed it... he doesn't know why. He's also in love with Roe, which makes it difficult to completely annihilate his brother. I believe I'll have fun with this series because it'll be more random and stupid than Ranger Jameson... and cartoony. It'll be more harder to animate, for sure, but it may just as well be worth the effort.

I can say that it is a morbid, dark story filled with some sweet fantasy action. It'll be called [b]Pitch White.[/b] ---------- Lastly, Ranger Jameson: Episode 3 will be out soon. [b]Captain Jameson and the Voyage to Babe Island[/b] is being postponed.

Yes, yes, thanks. I like movies and I like discussing them. Maybe I shouldn't be an actor, but a movie critic :^O Nah. I plan on seeing [b]Bewitched[/b] and [b]War of the Worlds[/b] within the next week (one of the two this weekend for sure), so a new review will be up shortly. I might just do one on an old movie or a film that just came out on video and DvD.

Yeah, Superman is the most cliche superhero ever, so you can't blame him... but you can despise him ;) Batman is definiately not going too conformist on you and it's definitely a treat for the artistic mind and the eye.

[center][img]http://img252.echo.cx/img252/2312/dwreviews1sp.gif[/img] [FONT=Trebuchet MS]Welcome. This is a thread I have made for the purpose of simply making movie reviews and sharing them with the public. Be aware I will be discussing the full movie, though I will be using spoiler tags where needed, so you'll be safe to read this even if you have not seen the film. Also feel free to comment on the reviews here in this thread if you'd like. Enjoy. [img]http://img292.echo.cx/img292/9629/batmanbeginstitle0pu.jpg[/img][/center] What a trip this movie was! I can easily say it was the best movie I've seen all year, by far. The gripping story, the artistic look, the more darker twist on Batman, everything was a great breathe of fresh air... as fresh as Gothum air comes. Just watching the starting credits made me want to leap out of my seat in anticipation. (And I probably would have if there wasn?t something sticky on the chair hindering me from doing so). The movie opens on a morbid story of our dark knight of the?er? well? night. Though Tim Burton did a superb job making Gothum look devious in its own miraculous style, he definiately did a hit and miss when it comes to being really dark. [b]Batman Begins[/b] delivers just the right amount of brooding atmosphere to give Batman his true colors. [center][img]http://img293.echo.cx/img293/582/batmanbegins0ri.jpg[/img][/center] Naturally Bruce Wayne is still a rich stud of Gothum, but this new revamped version of his story gives him a darker edge and a grim past to mix with his heroic future. [spoiler]After all, he does start off the movie beating some guards senseless in a jail-like camp. Fun, fun![/spoiler] I was also pleased to see Liam Neeson in the movie, playing a wise master to Bruce and who helps train him. (Giving a reason to why Bruce can do all the fancy moves and manuvuers that he conquers so well). For those of you who don?t know much because you only walk out your door just to get the mail, this is Liam: [img]http://img293.echo.cx/img293/5354/liam0gv.jpg[/img] You?ve at least got to recognize this dude from [b]Star Wars: Episode I[/b] (Qui-Gon Jinn). But enough about him. Who accompanied Neeson as Bruce himself was none other than Christian Bale! Yeah, I didn?t know who he was either. He seemed very familiar, but I couldn?t put my finger on him. Then I looked him up and he wasn?t in a whole lot that I?ve seen. (It may have been [b]Reign of Fire[/b] that tipped me off). Also starring Katie Holmes and Gary Oldman. And of course there are a few other familiar faces like Morgan Freeman. Basically I was psyched about the film because it promised a more artistic (and seedy) version of the timeless tale of the Dark Knight. I?m also for artistic views on things and love the imaginative despondent look of things that are familiar in other ways. It?s one reason why I like Tim Burton?s work, but I actually wasn?t as fond of his Batman version as I was of this. Like I stated previously, this one is very artistic. Even Gothum is slightly different in this adaptation. Where the rich live, it?s lovely and whimsical and futuristic (while still keeping as much Gothum feel as it can, of course), but then you go to the slums where the homeless are and where the bedraggled business of vice carries on and you see the real morbid side to the movie. Everything is dark (not just in the sense of the atmosphere, but literally, you couldn?t see past your hand if it were right in front of you) and you wouldn?t feel safe at all, [spoiler]especially since Bruce?s parents are shot in the alley by the theatre.[/spoiler] But this brings up my real only grudge against the movie. Sure, things are dark in the sense that you can?t see much?that?s bad. It?s good to give the ambience a uncertain feel to it that makes your skin want to crawl (where to, I dunno. That?s up to your skin!), but you couldn?t see the action. When the Batman was fighting people, it was really close, really dark, and you couldn?t make out what was happening. You couldn?t even make out with your girlfriend in the theatre either because she didn?t like how dark and close up the film is. (Picky girlfriend, huh?) So, that?s the problem: you can?t see what?s going on. For all we know, Christian Bale could be knocking around a large stuffed dummy and making the sounds of punching and kicking himself. This problem is relevant in several other films*. Putting aside the nitty gritty and getting back to the artistic view of the film, I enjoyed the villain of the movie too. I don?t think I can say much about it without going into spoiler mode, so read on if you dare. (I can?t really tell if it?d be a spoiler or not since it?s no biggie who the villain is anyways). [spoiler]It was great to see that the bad guy wasn?t one of the main villains from the Batman saga. It wasn?t the Joker or the Riddler or even Penguin (though when watching the previews, I thought it was going to be the Joker**), it was an average gang doing naughty things. Yay! It was really cool that his ?power? was his poison he was making to make people go crazy with fear (especially since the film was dealing with Bruce?s fear of bats). I also enjoyed his ?Scarecrow? character when he put the bag on over his head. Intriguing?[/spoiler] And look who plays Alfred the Butler! None other tan Michael Caine himself. And might I say he did a superb job. He was definiately the right man for Alfred. (even though I for some reason saw Monty Python?s John Cleese playing him too). He brought laughs in as well with the character?s dry humor. I always liked Alfred. Anyways, now that I?ve covered some minor jibber jabber, I will explain a brief summary of the plot. The story is pretty much about Bruce Wayne wanting to give the criminals what they deserve (this plan coming from after a childhood accident, of course***) while at the same time overcoming his fear of bats. At the same time, some evil somebodies are doing some evil thingies, but you can?t be too sure who they are. And I?m definiately not going to say! But looks like Bruce has a nice start to his super hero career. Yippie skippy, right? Being the rich son of a gun he is, he can use his daddy?s company?s weapons and other fancy junk to get going in his mission. A good hour or whatever of the movie is just him getting started and transforming into the Batman. But don?t get all frustrated and start ripping off your clothes in anger (unless you?re a babe). I found the transformation between Bruce and the Batman to be the most intriguing part of the film. I was mesmerized at how they tied everything together so nicely without loopholes and how it avoided being too easy to figure out how they?d accomplish such trials. ?Does it come in black??**** [center][img]http://img70.echo.cx/img70/8387/batmanbegins12qa.jpg[/img][/center] Katie Holmes plays Rachel Dawes, Bruce?s old childhood friend. You can only assume that they like one another. Dude, that?s totally not a spoiler. A blind dead guy who lived in the caveman years could see it. Fortunately enough, Katie?s character wasn?t one of the dumb lasses who cry out for help like so many others (Mary Jane in Spider-man flicks). Normally when the ?girlfriend? of the hero?s human identity gets involved, it?s so cliché that the hero has to go and save her. For example?and this made me feel poopy after watching [b]Spider-man[/b]?in [b]Spider-man 2[/b], (for the sake of those fools who haven?t seen [b]Spider-man 2[/b], here?s some spoiler taggage) [spoiler]during a bank scene, Doc Ock is attacking, Peter and his aunt [I]just so happen[/I] to be there at the time doing some business. Well, how many people are in the bank when he attacks? Let?s count. One, two, fifty, hundred? yeah. And out of all the people, Doc Ock happens to take Peter?s aunt. What the hell? That?s trying a little too hard to get the family involved. Same with Mary Jane? she?s constantly getting into trouble, but she?s of no importance to the villains at all.[/spoiler] The female in these films always seems to be not properly placed, but it was different this time, which made me pleased. That?s normally a huge mistake comic books and their movies make. [spoiler]Here in [b]Batman Begins[/b], Rachel is involved in the scheme since she?s in the line of law, as is one of the villains (Dr. Crane). She gets a tad too nosey and [I]BOOP![/I] Oh, dangit? I?m sorry, Rachel, but I?m going to have to put on my big scary mask and make funny faces at you behind it. But don?t worry? this gas will make everything a happy nightmare. Enjoy! Teehee![/spoiler] Splendidly, every character, every plothole, and every little dittle was intricately placed and done just right to get the full effect of the movie. Once again, I would?ve been on the edge of my seat if that nasty sticky stuff wasn?t there. Who puts gum on a theatre seat? Honestly! I must say it was worth the wait ever since I first saw the preview ages ago. It definitely is not like any other Batman movie around. It even throws in some new ideas, like how Bruce trains with martial artist dudes. Some new culture in the mix, which is a big change and may mess the whole thing up, but it was like adding gravy to your mashed potatoes? it just made it better. Then again, I hate gravy. [img]http://img24.echo.cx/img24/1584/batmanbegins27rv.jpg[/img] I liked how the Batman worked with Gary Oldman?s character, Jim Gordon, a cop. That made it so not everyone thought the Batman was a bad guy. And how come everyone in every superhero movie thinks the hero is a bad guy? (*cough*Spider-Man*cough*). The twists in the movie were amazing and I was terrified to see who the main villain was after all. [spoiler]I like Liam Neeson too much to let him go bad. But it bugged me when he told Bruce that he left Neeson to die, even though he knows damn right Bruce saved his ***! Meh, oh well.[/spoiler] The ending was spectacular and I wanted it to never end. Literally. I was [I]that[/I] into it. [spoiler]I thought after everything was going the bad guys? way and all the water shot out into the streets (and made everyone go mad), it was all over. I was eager to see what the Batman would do. It also gets you thinking when Jim Gordon said that a lot of the ward patients are still missing that they may become some of the villains we know too well. I mean, since the Joker is the next bad guy, he?s bound to be someone from an asylum. Toss that around in your noodle for a while.[/spoiler] Nevertheless, for two hours and twenty-one minutes of silly and zany adventures, [b]Batman Begins[/b] was a smash-hit and a grand success. I literally wanted to go back to the concessions after the show was over, grab more Jujy-Fruit*****, and scatter back in the theatre for another showing (though I went to the last show of the day, so I was refrained from doing that little number). But I definitely plan on seeing it again. I wonder if my sister has seen it yet. If not, I guess I have an excuse to go again. Muhahahaha! Having said that, I rate this beast on my [b]Rate-Dar[/b]? a [b]4[/b]. [center][img]http://img289.echo.cx/img289/7439/ratedar45gd.jpg[/img][/center] The highest rating goes to my first review! Nice work, [b]Batman Begins.[/b] I can?t wait ?til the sequel. You?ve got the audience?s attention? now don?t lose it. Or I?ll give you a kick in the nads. *One film that gets too close, too dark, and everything else bad is [b]Alien V.S. Predator.[/b] I liked the movie, but was the Predator kicking the Alien or was he giving him a massage with his foot? I couldn?t tell. It was too dark and too close! **[spoiler]Cillian Murphy, the guy who plays Dr. Jonathan Crane (Scarecrow) could play a pretty good Joker, in my opinion![/spoiler] ***Oy? I just wanted to say that was a tad cliché, but when are movies not? It didn?t actually bother me! ****You?d understand that if you watched the film. *****Jujy-Fruit is the candy God gets stuck in his teeth? that?s all that needs to be said.[/font] [center]----------------------------------[/center] First review done, and cut!

Aye, what a great starting round! I am very pleased with everyone's submissions. But I must say I like sakurasuka's the most. A wonderful job, even if it appears more whimsical than mine :) But that's what I like about it ;) Since Ima did not post, they are the ones booted. How unfortunate. That means the five others are safe... for now. [center][img]http://img79.echo.cx/img79/7772/round25xn.jpg[/img][/center] In this round, you'll be making a shnazzy poster for the Willy Wonka movie by Tim Burton. Here is the real poster: [img]http://janecemoment.com/images/wonka.jpg[/img] Don't even think about making one similar. This is where your creativity comes in. Last year's Otaku Graphica, I had the contestants make a Spider-Man 2 poster and I gave requirements (like you had to have MJ's face faded in the back or something). Not this time. Do as you please with the poster, but be sure to make it as thrilling and expressive as you can. I will say that the poster needs to be 300 (width) by 600 (height). Make sure to include the title "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and put Tim Burton's name in there. That is all. Let's make it happen! If you have any questions, feel free to state them here. [b]Due Date:[/b] Sunday

[center][img]http://img186.echo.cx/img186/8807/dartanian7fl.jpg[/img][/center] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][b]Name:[/b] Dartanian Thatcher [b]Nickname:[/b] Dart, Thatch [b]Age:[/b] Twenty-Six [b]Appearance:[/b] Even before his captain years, Dartanian preferred to dress adequately. Normally it was just a white, flowing poet's shirt complete with black pants and brown boots, but from time to time (if he had one accessable), he'd throw in a large black frock coat. After disappearing (after his captain years), he's been seen wearing the same stuff, but it may be tattered and dirty by then. (And then again, if no one knows where he is, how would they know this?) As for his features, he's attractive, but not entirely drop-dead gorgeous. He bothers to shave, but lets his blonde hair grow long and tangled and free. His blue eyes are piercing and resemble the ocean, not just by color, but by the same lust for adventure. He's properly built for daring feats, but not entirely made of muscle. His height only reaches 6', but a man would be a fool to look down upon him. [b]Weapons:[/b] A simple sword hangs at his side for close combat, but it rusts there, for he hardly ever uses it. He muses over guns, his main fancy. He carries as many as he can, which could be up to twenty at times. Where he keeps them all, I don't know and don't want to know. [b]History:[/b] What's that? You've never heard of the legendary Dartanian Thatcher? Deadly Dartanian? The man who was born with a silver pistol in his hand? Well, I admit, he's a bit washed up now, but he was great once. Boy, was he great. Since you seem so uneducated on the matter, I'll give you the lowdown. Dartanian's father, Lupen Thatcher, was a poor sailor and a terrible friend to boot. He often stole pieces of eight from his fellow mates and went to bars to drink the night away. Maybe go for some pleasurable company for the evening. Well, naturally, drunk fools like Lupen get around like that and he eventually thought he fell in love. Abandoning his crewmates for a bar wench, he commandeered a small schooner and drifted off to sea with her. It wasn't long before the woman he thought he loved dearly became pregnant with Dartanian. The louse Lupen dropped her off at some random shore and was never heard of by anyone ever again. Dart was raised by his natural mother, but received a rough life for it. Never was there a bright day for the lad on the poor streets of Russbero, the town his mother worked taverns in. He eventually became old enough to learn to use a gun. Not having much else to do, he learned to use it quite well. It wasn't that many years after he started practicing that he challenged others to draws. He was the quickest, most accurate and deadliest gunsman around. He decided there wasn't much for him in Russbero, so he left his mother and hitched a ride on a merchant vessel that visited the shore one evening. He was able to stay with them until they arrived at Bombarso. From there on, he became a stowaway and robbed for food. Like using a gun, he became rather good at thieving. It soon became his professional occupation. When he finally joined the ranks of the crew of Captain Loss, he was officially named a pirate. Captain Loss, a poor pirate, was still no reason Thatcher's name didn't get out. Their raids were successful and Dartanian's sharp-shooting was a large component to why. Men cowarded under his flintlock pistols and if you had one of his guns aimed at you, there was no hope. It was said, but not entirely sure, that he shot Captain Loss in one of their battles against the Royal Navy. But that could be false information. Then again, he did become captain after Loss' death. Dart led the crew to bigger riches than Loss did. And once more, his name became more widely known. He took on nicknames like Deadly Dartanian and Thatcher the Threat and he was then evidently named the best pirate--no! the best man with a gun in all the world. Funny how he just kind of faded away. It was said that he and his crew was ambushed by five Royal Navy ships and they were sank to the bottom of the sea. Only Dartanian survived. They also say he's wanted so much that he went into hiding and was never found again, just like his father. But who really knows if those rumors are true... are they? [b]Personality:[/b] Though he sounds ruthless, he's quite fun-loving. He hates for people to make fun of him, though. A slight mock will have a gun to your head. Like most crazy and wild captains, he likes booze, women, treasure, and adventure, but his lust comes mostly from the last. If any reason why he became a pirate was to hit the seas and go on amazing journeys. Though it's not always what it's cracked up to be, he likes it a lot better than his home in Russbero. But now that he's gone missing, his personality has changed. Perhaps for the worse. [b]Specialty:[/b] He's a damn good thief in any circumstance, but where his legacy lies is in his amazing gun skills. [b]Snippet:[/b] Though no one knows where Dartanian currently is, he's been only missing for a few years. He may have gotten a bit shaggy here and there and sure, his clothes are a tad rough looking, but he's around here somewhere. Men have sworn they've seen him in bars drunker than sin or even sneaking onto ships like he did when he was a boy. It's most likely true. If the rumors of him losing to the Navy and having to go undercover were true, he's probably lost all sense and gone mad with hate. His lust for life and adventure is gone and the pain of having nothing has returned. It's sad how his life lacks so much now. What happened to the man who sailed the seas fearlessly, who could shoot a man as far as his pistol will allow, who could stare the whole Royal Navy in the eye and grin? He may be still living, but it 'pears to me that his soul is sunk to Davie Jones' locker.[/font] -------- Are you sure you want people to sign up as stuff like ninjas and samurai in a pirate RPG? O.o Oh, and the gun you're thinking of for the pirate era is a flintlock. :^D EDIT: I just noticed I spelt "sea" wrong. Oy...

*cough* Me being OtakuBoard's number one super villain who is constantly trying to overthrow James and rule with a sexy fist, I am thrilled to see such an RPG. I was plotting to do one myself, but you've beaten me to the bunch. Nevertheless, it's better someone else did it anyways. I'd like to see how this'll turn out. If sign ups do occur in the future, I shall be one to register. You have my sexy... and evil--word.

You will be remaking the following image: [img]http://img292.echo.cx/img292/950/theromancer2mj.jpg[/img] Simply redo the image, but insert a pirate ship in the ocean, do a new font for "The Romancer" (a different font for both "the" and "romancer") and make a unique shine effect to the name Romancer. I want it dark and orange like this image is already, but feel free to be unique. NOTE: You don't have to use the same image of the ocean as I did, but it still has to be an ocean and a sunset over it. Good luck. Your mission is due next week Wednesday.

You really are weird since everyone else I've talked to about Ranger jameson said the "chuckle chuckle chuckle" made the animation! They said it was the best part XD It's just so sexy :3 And fun to say. Perhaps you should avoid future Jameson cartoons? Not sure why people like Jerry the Loon. It took two hours to make and was random crap :P

Yeah, I got bored one night at about 12 o'clock, so I made this short animation. It's around five minutes in length. It's about a mental patient just talking to you about nonsense.

Hopefully this ain't be the whole crew, arrr. Still feel free to sign up, mates. If need be, I'll extend the deadline from Saturday to later.

Feel free to join, but to be able to do so, you must post a piece of your work here. Please do so. Sign ups will end at the end of the week or as long as it takes for six people to join. Ye know, whichever comes first.

Last year's [b]Otaku Graphica 2004[/b] was the official start of this epic competition between thrilling graphic artists. Let's hope this year tops last years big time. Basically each round I will give the graphic artists a job to accomplish whether it's a banner or poster or whatever. They must do this in the time limit (which is lengthy as it is). The one who is the most lacking will be removed from the competition while the rest of the competitors move on. Simple. I am looking for six graphic artists to join. If more than six join, I will select six out of those who registered. To register, simply post one of your best graphic work here. This will help decide if you're in. Good luck, folks and may the... Photoshop programs be with you? I dunno...

This be the most swashbucklin', treasure huntin', grog-guzzlin', poop deck moppin', keel-haulin', bed-wetting pirate adventure to ever hit the seas of OtakuBoards. Gyar! Become a crew member of the S.S. Your Mom and join the ranks of OB's lowest scum. You get free rum and t-shirts with new membership! [img]http://img192.echo.cx/img192/7889/parrot2yv.jpg[/img] [b]The Plot[/b][/center] Plot? There be no plot! Just a couple of rowdy times and high seas, arrr-ohhh... who be I foolin'? The plot is simple. You're a crew mate of the S.S. Your Mom, but one thing. This vessel has no captain! So it's kind of just livin' life as you want to, pillagin' when you feel need be, and scuba-divin' when the water feels just right. But try not to let things get too hectic or we'll bloody make ye walk the plank! Oh, and have a nice day. [center][img]http://img221.echo.cx/img221/6251/drinks3jb.jpg[/img] [b]The Rules, Yarr![/b][/center] Yeah, there be rules to follow. We may be cut-throat villains, but we got to be law-abiding citizens in some way. And if we're not, James'll have us all hanged fer good! So pay attention! [list][*]This be a PG-rated game. It was rated that for violence, alcohol content, and rowdy times! Let's not get too crazy and get after the ladies... or men if you be swingin' that way. 'Course... there are womenses aboard. This could get bad... so follow the rules, gyar! [*]This be a comedy RPG. Act like it or be tarred and feathered to yer humiliation! [*]This be a pirate RPG in pirate days (1700's and such). Though it be comedy, try to keep in that era, aye? [*]Feel free to use the pirate stereotypes in this. I already have cracked the book on that one. [*]Have some pirate knowledge for Neptune's sake! [*]It's comedy, not insanity. Posts should be more than a paragraph and should make sense. Don't make me gut ye! [*]It be true that we're pirates of the OtakuBoards and OtakuBoards is the world we live in. Don't interpret OB as an internet place. Just use stuff like James being a governor or something. That's all, mates. [*]No one be in command of the ship. We all run it together. Just live yer life and we'll all be happy. [*]Er.. uh... set sail for adventure![/list] [center][img]http://img221.echo.cx/img221/5545/pirateguy6db.jpg[/img] [b]Join the Crew[/b][/center] Gyarr! Sign ups be simple for this RPG.

Yes, well, I didn't want to do the swirly batman thing again because I've done it so much in the past I had the need to change it. Not to mention it's easier the way I did it this time around XD As for the natives, it was the mention of Ranger Jameson's name that killed them. I was thinking that joke would be vague, but meh. Oh well. That is, after all, a part of the inside joke. I'll do my best to improve to your standards XD
