This is just sort of a little friendly challenge GIR and I are proposing. The premise is, you submit a one-off Cave Story themed comic and then once the deadline has elapsed the best is chosen by an impartial jury of peers (the users) and the winner gets, uhh, e-hugs or something.

The idea behind this is just to have some good fun and share your creativity :chin:

edit: ALSO, I decided that you are more than welcome to submit but opt out from judging. I still want to see it.

Participants:

Hiino:

As a footnote, the Mimiga in green with King is Arthur
Doublethink:

The voting has concluded, and the results are as follows:
Best Concept goes to Hiino
Best Overall goes to Noxid

Also, just because the deadline has passed doesn't mean you *can't* submit something. Please, please feel free to post your own comics in the thread if you feel so inclined. It's fun :)

It sounds like fun! I usually have a slightly harder time drawing when the subject is chosen for me, but I'll give it a shot. The main conflict is that the deadline is the exact same day as my Chemistry AP exam (meaning huge, evil test that people have to study tons and tons for). I'll still try my best to find some time between now and then, though!

The deadline was just arbitrarily chosen, we could make a little bit of wiggle room if needed.

I'mma make a comic for you. If drawing ability is a big factor then I don't expect to win, but maybe I can pull through in... uh... adorability.

I don't think you should be held back by your drawing ability. Case in point: TNIC.
I was thinking, perhaps if there was enough submissions to justify we could have subcategories such as "Best idea/joke" or whatever else somebody can think of and wants to vote on.

I know it's good to set your sights high, but I don't think I'll ever measure up to that kind of genius.

I'm bumping this as a reminder to people that the deadline is May 2nd (this upcoming monday) and that all submissions should be PM'd to Noxid.

Further rules are on the first post.

Could I be one? I don't (or at least I don't think I do) hold a bias over anyone at the forums. If not, that's fine too. (I also can't draw for my life so I don't think I should enter the contest directly, but I like fan-art)

I was implying that the impartial jury of peers was all the other people on the forum

It's not really that hard. I don't even care if you do it in MS Paint.
Think about something in cavestory that's funny/dumb and draw it, you're finished :greydroll:
A good comic can come from a good question - like "How exactly do those XP triangles work?" or "Why do critters come packed with missles for you to pickup?" and then you make a joke about it.

Oh, I did EXACTLY that kind of comic. I was wondering if that was what you expected from us to draw, and I was right.

yay~ \o/

Erm... yeah, the chances of me having the motivation to pull something together for this at the last second are slim. Not zero, but slim.
