Sketch Match (Contest)

***Ace Mercury*** · 01-31-2007, 12:05 AM

Here's a little contest I made up, which will hopefully amuse myself as well as you guys and gals.

There are two parts to the contest, which run in parallel.

1)
I'll post a sketch. Post the identity of the sketched member. The first correct guess for each sketch wins eight (8) points.

You can only have one guess per post, and you must wait until two other members post before guessing again. Otherwise, you have as many guesses as you want.

2)
Create and post a sketch of a member of VGF. When two other members post identity of the sketched member, you get five (5) points and they get two (2) points each. If two members don't identify your sketch in 24 hours, you get eight (8) points (after you identify your own sketch). The sketch artist must keep an eye on the thread to see if anyone has guessed on your sketch. Multiple guessing rules follow the same as above, but you can guess on multiple unidentified sketches in one post.

There are restrictions. If you break a restriction for no good reason, you will not gain points:

You may only have one of your sketches unidentified at a time. You may only post a new sketch once the old one's identity was revealed/confirmed by you.
You may not post members who have already been revealed in a sketch before.
Sketches only. Original line-work (no pixel art or cut-and-paste), limited to at most four colours. It does not have to be a "good" sketch, but enough to get the point across.
The sketched member has to have been here at least a month and have at least 250 posts.
Please do not post exceedingly large sketches (much greater than 800x800)
Please do not post .bmp files. jpg files are good. Tutorial if you don't know how to use, say, MS Paint. Afterwards, upload them to your webspace of your choice (photobucket, imageshack, etc.)
No text or language symbols (punctuation, numerals). This includes the filename and meta attributes.
Nice try, but you can't guess on sketches you have made.

Points can be deducted for poor sportsmanship (e.g. posting just a blank jpeg, exploiting loopholes, etc.).

When the contest is closed, the one with the highest amount of points, gets prizes of some sort. Other prizes for runners-up, most sketches submitted, most sketches guessed right, etc. may be awarded, depending on how this contest goes. There's going to be fifty to a hundred thousand vBPoints up for grabs, plus whatever I can whip up.

Here is the first.

Marilink. *My sketch coming soon*

Damn it!

***Ace Mercury*** · 01-31-2007, 12:15 AM

I see that some sort of... clown, I guess, jumps into an early lead of eight points.

Just so that there's something to mull over for a while, here's the next sketch.

Let's see here... seems to be gathering energy(perhaps a Gunjin Battler?) I will have to guess Selene Starblade.

Valigarmander · 01-31-2007, 12:18 AM

Meh, I'm no good at this.

MC Mushi Mo · 01-31-2007, 12:28 AM

Would it be alright if I guessed twice?

If not: Please ignore my first guess, for I wish to guess Tikal.

***Ace Mercury*** · 01-31-2007, 12:50 AM

The guessing rules have been modified, to prevent people from just posting the whole member list for each sketch. Both your guesses will stand, since I forgot to add that rule.

HotD.

t3hDarkness · 01-31-2007, 04:28 PM

If it were Heroine of the Dragon, she would be at least smiling. It does appear to be a Gunjin warrior, so I believe that look of disinterest means we have a sketch of Saria Dragon on our hands.

Chunky Kong12345 · 01-31-2007, 04:30 PM

She looks like HotD did in the pic Ace did of hair waaaay back in the first few posts of his first art topic.

***Ace Mercury*** · 01-31-2007, 07:03 PM

There's a hint in the 'colour' I used in the sketch.

LinkManDX · 01-31-2007, 07:36 PM

Silverwind.

I know it is, but alas, I'm too late.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
