Trogdor!!!

[Cauthey]

Bah! I'm not much of an artist. I could try and submit a TROGDOR (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gz1DIIxmEE)!!

Request to Turbine: Design a quest where you can form up a raid against Trogdor. :D

EDIT: Darn. Trogdor-Ninja'd!! :D

[GoldyGopher]

[LordArkan]

Rejected. Not a cube.

The Cube cannot be contained by your silly Euclidian geometry.

[omega_iteration]

Is it limited to DDO creatures or can we pull out a P&P Monstrous Manual (yes I am stuck in 2nd ed. get over it!) and choose something from there?

Mmm... kinky.

:rolleyes:

You'll want to go with DDO monsters for this one. But as long as the monster is in DDO it doesn't mean you can't use the MM version of it for inspiration :)

[SaisMatters]

Can I get a pic of Tarrant in RL for inspiration??? ;) lol

[chrisgina39]

oops double post

[chrisgina39]

very nice.

[doomboy]

how come it's only for 18+? there ARE people who are 13+, you know.
my nephew is one of them.

[doomboy]

are we allowed to make a new monster using screenshots of old ones? cos that's kind of my skill.

[Tholar]

I think this means we all have to submit pictures of kobolds or sahaguin?

[doomboy]

can we submit drawing we made in 3rd grade? of original monsters?

[Quarterling]

Does the special forum title "Sketchy Adventurer" and "succubus" mean anything to you? :D

[Erik_The_Red]

Still don't know what I'm going to submit... tough choice... thinking of some Giant or a Ogre... not sure which one would have more visual impact though...

[Lanuric]

Ive already done a picture..but after seeing the beauty above me.....I might have to go back to the drawing board. I can draw, but after scanning it in...it needs brushing like alot of old celebrities.

Something I think they should put into the game...Haywire is halfway there anyway....:)

He's been quiet for some time now. Who knows what kind of wacky hijinx Haywire's gotten himself into in his time off? Of course, it's always possible he's finally learned his lesson. But then again, he is a particularly stubborn dwarf and it hasn't stopped him before...

[Hendrik]

Talking about being quiet! TRD, where have you been?

[Gratch]

He's been quiet for some time now.

*Blinks* Well hello there. Made any insane traps lately? (Was it traps? Did he give us cool traps? Been so long.) How goes it The Rocking Dead?

[Missing_Minds]

Well, glad to see you are still around.

And honestly.. the dwarf has learned anything? other than how to be more crazy and get results?

[Clankenbeard]

Well, the thread died many, many moons ago. However, Clanky wants to resurrect it one last time shortly before the deadline to say I have submitted. Yay. It only came right down to the friggin' wire. My submission will likely pale in comparrison to you artists out there who can draw "real" fiction. It is not my forte. My art style of choice is 'toons. (No, I didn't call my game character that.) Still, I can't pass up a DDo contest. Even if I'm not proficient, I might have rolled a natural 20.

So, now I have my feet firmly planted in the backpedals. I don't think I have a serious shot of winning anything with my B&W submission. I am, however, really looking forward to seeing everybody's submissions. Good luck everysbody!

Um. Not my official entry. Hmmm... Maybe it should have been.

[Alabore]

Submitted mine as well.
We'll see.

[daadamo]

Are they going to announce the winners today?
