Last Man Standing 2: Round 1

[chaosrocks]

Here's the word from on high, about Pussing out.....by this description Id say your still in the clear till June 16th as an honourable person if you bow out gracefully now...but I'm not the boss. I'm mearly waiting for your spot... and Foz...Jello is more fun than mud
Chaos


From the rules:

Pussing Out:
Awww, the pressures of the thunderdome too much for you? Tough shit. You drop out without fair warning (and fair warning is at least 3 weeks from the due date), you will have the honor of gracing my official "I pussed out of the Thunderdome and all I got was public humiliation" page. This also goes for not submitting something for the showdown. Fair warning.

Now's the time to drop if you can't handle it, sallies. Otherwise your name goes down in infamy.

[strych9ine]

chuck, if you do it soon you won't be a pussy. i bet you could crank something out though...

[Ilaekae]

" and Foz...Jello is more fun than mud
Chaos"

Spoken by a true pro...



<3




It's what...two more to go and you're in?

[Shamagim]

A decent picture takes around 6 hours of pure work.....is it possible to not be able to find 6 free hours withing 30 days?

[Beelow]

hahahaaa... this thread is off da hook!

http://www.tyranx.com/images/misc/avatar10578_1.gif Boingy boingy...

yeah, that is because I am here!

Ya'll know that the addition of beelow, is gonna make this thread off tha' chain right? right?

Let the hood in ya come out peeps, and do your thug thizzle! From tha LV...I'll Holla!:afroboy:

[Pattern Recognition]

So how many people have dropped so far?
43659137485234 + me :( Just PMed Cody. Big blah! :zzz:

[chaosrocks]

three officially I think....and one of the draft-ys isn't answering his mail. I'm Painiting away assuming..... Depends on wheither the Chuck-lovers convinced him to stay or not....Pulllezzepulleezzxe Chuck-dear won't you stay and play with us?

trouble with Jello is it dyes you what ever flavor it is. you could end up green for a week.
Chaos

[PaulGanguly]

I'd like to get in, if it's not too late. I've been out of the loop lately, and apparently I missed entry by a day or two. My sketchbook is in my sig, if anyone wants to size me up, and see who I'd be a good match for.

Assuming entry is still a possibility.


Is there someone I should PM?

[chaosrocks]

yo Paul dude..you gotte get onthe reserves list. just like the rest of us.

Im hopin ...Mike..... I'm kinda assuming at least two more people will drop.
then all that remains is to figure out who Im up against....and intimidate them.

Boo!

chaos rocks
*flings green Jello*

[Chuck,mate.]

chaos - "Depends on wheither the Chuck-lovers convinced him to stay or not....Pulllezzepulleezzxe Chuck-dear won't you stay and play with us?"
i really hope you`re not being sarcastic there. i fucking hate it when people do that...


cody - yeah, i guess i could produce SOMETHING for this here TD. the question is - would it be GOOD enough to compete with the guys i`m up against...? dunno.

[Simon Boxer]

Chaos, out of 271 contestants there should be enough no-shows for you to participate.

Myself, on the other hand, well... I'm pushing it at slot 30, but then again, I don't think all the reserves will make something... Either way, +1 portfolio piece!
It's good motivation to do something bigger than usual.

[Kresh]

Fuck im in and I didnt even know it!

[DavePalumbo]

whew, had a good looong day at work on the entry... how they comin' along, fellas?

[strych9ine]

cody - yeah, i guess i could produce SOMETHING for this here TD. the question is - would it be GOOD enough to compete with the guys i`m up against...? dunno.


Awww dude, pulling out because you're up against some badasses shows weakness. Don't let these jackals see you limping! You signed up for this, so it's time to spend a couple sleepless nights working on some chuckie magic. :)

ho, brother, you misunderstood me completely.
what i said was would my quickly-done-due-to-lack-of-proper-free-time piece
could go up against my fellow artists who had a clear head and lots of spare time. honestly (and i don`t do thrash-talk shit `cause it`s silly...) i do beilive i can have the first round preety easy. (so, if there ARE any jackals around they can go fuck themselfs right up their fucking ass. wow, did i said that outloud?...:tihi: )
yesterday afternoon another big-ass project dumpt its huge butt on my desk.
things look grim.

[Inkfish]

I still haven't started my piece, yay me!

in one week I'll have vacation tho, and hope to have plenty of time next to my summer job to complete the girly calendar entry and this last man standing thunderdome entry..

yay :P
I do have sketches, and will make some reference shots in a few days.

love

[luxun]

everyone should have done like me and finished 22 May.:^^:

[Ilaekae]

"my fellow artists who had a clear head and lots of spare time."

C'mate, are we posting in the same forum?

[glikster]

There's not a clear head among the lot of us....

[Sundance]

Mine's clear...

Clear of all ideas on what to paint for this F'n TD. :dead:

[chaosrocks]

I got PM...I guess IM in...dunno who Im up against yet

and Chuck...it was only sort of sarcasm... Im sure you can produce something with one hand tied behind your back and a huge workload that tromps the competition. whereas I pretty much know Im not gonna make it past the first round, especially since I have three shows to costume and design. But damn Im gonna give it the old college try.

BTW you back there.. who says youre finished already....
A. FU
B. It's not good enough go back and work on it some more

[strych9ine]

You're up against Kenji and Denart, chaos. Enjoy.

[DavePalumbo]

I knew Chaos would make it in. Now let's see if she's got what it takes to stay...

edit: btw, are all the judges in place yet? Last I heard it was just Dan and Irene. I was looking around the LMS2 website but couldn't find anything (though i did find the link to MADD)

[chaosrocks]

this is too weird, Denart and Kenji are both in Columbus Ohio, I live about and hour from there, I go to columbus for Art supplies...I really could invite them to tea.....heheh

[Hyver]

that's right, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em for a threesome

Right, I do need to get on that. I've got a couple names in mind that I would love to see judge this dome. I'll fire them off this afternoon.

EDIT: Elwell will be lending his eye for judging. Thanks!

[theincredibleandy]

don't worry, Chaos. Until now, Kenji and Den were working on a different thunderdome, plus they went to the workshop. I'm pretty sure they haven't started yet, so you'll be fine.

btw, BOON went to the workshop too, so it might take him awhile to see the PM he got about being drafted.

[Sundance]

all of you....disgust me!!!

[chaosrocks]

S'alright...I have a hefty start on it already....was planning on doing the piece anyway
needs work, Its a biggish painting so theres lots of space to cover.
*paint paint, scribble scribble, scrub scrub*

how about a nice sketch of Captain Hook instead?

nah Im a costume designer by trade...this summer we're doing inheritthe wind and Peter Pan. I happen to have them handy
chaos
my TD entry is nearly that far afield

[Ilaekae]

YES! The old man SCORES!

I guessed you did costume work when I first saw your art in the competitions. It's the only thing I could thing of that explained the style... (a lot of my old clients were theatrical...)


...and congrats on getting into the LMS...

[Mike Corriero]

welcome aboard Chaos

Chuckmate- assume that your competition is just as busy as you are and break something out in 6 hours-8 hours otherwise don't worry bout it so much it's not worth losing your mind over, and work comes first.

[Fozzybar]

Baby, my posts are the only ones making sense in this thread...:dead:

[strych9ine]

Chuck,mate. has to drop out of the dome, so whoami (who the hell is whoami) you are in. PM asap to accept.

[chaosrocks]

Bye bye Chuck...we'll miss you....I hope you stick around and continue to season our dull conversations with your always pertinant and pithy remarks. Even though we won't get to cherish your fine artwork. you should sign up as a judge ;P
Foz-nuh-unh. we all make sense in our own bizarre ways.... and thanks Mike and Ilae...didn't know I had a style, curious. I just thought I drew different from everyone else cause I didn't start by emulating comic books and computergames... I always wanted to be Arthur Rackam or Edmund Dulac.. never succeeded though. not enough patience. but thats why the Watercolors (which I use for work)
Gonna see what I can do, .....need more coffee. .....gotta get ahead of the infants ...
need mmoooooooorrrre coffee

[Chuck,mate.]

yeah, life sometimes have the habbit of sitting on your head and farting real hard.
(off the record - i would have kick some major ASS. yeah, i said it, whoa? whoa?...)

congrats to who am i (who are u really?....) for getting the open slot.
best of luck everybody, i`ll be checking what you fuckers accomplished here.
hopefully, i`ll be joining in on the Next LMSTD.

and now, if you`ll excuse me, i`m gonna go catch some Z`s.
(about 3 months worth.....)

cheers peeps,
Pat.

[sve]

Chuck,mate., I would prefer you to stay and for me to see your idea. Would be real treat. You would be hard to beat contestant. Sorry for you not be able to participate. really sorry. You are great.

[DavePalumbo]

i would have kick some major ASS. yeah, i said it

awwww, I guess we'll never know...

[Sundance]

Sorry to see you go Chuck, but glad you've got the work!

See ya 'round the block.

Damn....I was so lookin' forward to your attack, Patri. Here's to you gettin' some Zzzzzs and keepin' on top of your work.
All the best!

ps. I've officially started my concept. :)

Ah yeah, thanks for reminding me.

That is some odd whacks! Kenji is my CCAD peep and I gotta fight him now...wtf. And NOW, we have another Ohio'er..... WHACK!



I hope BOON gets in. He's lazy. He cares more about his Gucci bag. That stupid girl >:|

[Chuck,mate.]

i find it amusing that those who are most likely to fall flat on their pimply fucking faces (relying merely on their poor body of work so far...) are actually the silly maggots who thrash-talk the LOUDEST.

[chaosrocks]

oh well.... the art will proove all...remember what happened to ned. Maybe those who talk loudest are destined to become writers not artists...Takes all kinds.
maybe they have to build up their own courage to compete with mighty lions
maybe they have to build uptheir own courage 'cause they know some one is trying their best to tear it down....

Best of work

@Fozzybar; I started today. Good luck on staying awake for 48 hours before submitting your entry.

So as of last night, if you drop out of the Thunderdome you are offically pussing out, earning a spot on Last Man Standing's "I pussed out of the thunderdome and all I got was a reputation for not following through with what I signed up for" list.

[Egoartist]

Started composing yesterday. Killed many trees in the process. I have to beg my model for more shots but she wasn't in a good mood yesterday. So am gonna reserve my begging until sometime today. I am pretty sure everyone is doing the same theme as I am. But I'll persevere. I am just scared shitless of cody's pussy list.
:p

[chaosrocks]

hehe... as a reservist who sneaked ((snuck) in....... ppbbbbtttttt ! *big raspberries*

I concur with Redehlert. You're -COOH :P

Finally, officially started.
I'm doing composition thumbnails right in this very moment:teeth:

If I ever find the right compo.... :?

Rough comps are finished, taking it to the final drawings. Need some more reference first. Will be working out color comps this weekend with final drawing.... Everything is going much slower than I hoped, but I like where it's going....

Devvv and EraserHead are the last two people to drop out and not get added to my pussout list. And since whoami hadn't answered my pm (who would have thought), I've got three spots to fill.

7. jmascho

Yes, everybody, Cody is correct. The story of my name is highly XXXOMGHARDCORE!!! If you all want to hear the story, you never will, so there.

Now, back to the thread.....

I started my entry like the first day I found out about this. Then I didn't work on it at all. Now, I hate it, but I'll finish it anyway. It will confuse you all, as it is the most personal piece of art I've ever done in my life. It's all artsy, fartsy, and emo simultaneously. Start up your gag reflexes ....NOW!

[DavePalumbo]

If you all want to hear the story, you never will, so there.

that's ok, I'll just make up my own

[strych9ine]

It will be a thread as well as a devoted page on the Last man Standing website. Cody don't play that dropping out shit. :)

[strych9ine]

SubPablo is now in the dome. 2 slots open still, waiting on confirmation.

I'm thinking "How Magicgoo got her handle" would be a hell of a topic for round two. Ahhh, prom night...

[Destinatus]

I just got in the dome. Alrighty, let's get it on!

I have a tiny question about the WIP's, I know you can't post them and anything, but can I PM with a few people to ask crits..?

hey Cody, you know what I just thought of? Maybe we can convince Manchess to judge. I know he won't be able to bust out his hellish, in depth crits for everyone in the dome, but hey, you never know.

[Saturns Gate]

Hey there, please excuse my ignorence but im pretty damn new to this Thunderdome and was wondering if the topic changes each round? Or is it the same thing but you have to concieve a different style and punch each time? Cheers buddys!

*runs away from egg throwing*

[Kresh]

how does the reservies pick go anyway?? Just in order or by selection? Next puss who drops out i want in!

Dear My Favorite Russian,

I think this is an excellent idea. Make the magic happen and I will love you with the intensity of 1,000 suns.

Kresh, I'm hitting off names in order down the reserve list.

[Destinatus]

SeanyD I wasn't in the last LMS but I believe the theme changes every round.

[jmascho]

sweet, I believe I am in.

[Hyver]

anything can happen topicwise - we'll just have to wait and see, for the mystic powers of the cody are unforseeable

as they should be

so those who returned from space outness and begged and pleaded. got on the list first got in therefore are now bonafried contenda's . aint that some scary shit.. some even threatened to lick foz. ptah bleh blue fur. and wouldn't do any good cuase the poison dude is the boss here.

It would, but would also be a very interesting challenge (not that I think I have much of a chance in the first round alone, but I plan on following and doing work from the sidelines even when eliminated). Dont know how others who have more experience in different mediums and styles would feel about that, might not be as fun for them.

[DavePalumbo]

BTW would no topic change and a total style and medium change for round 2 be totally fiendish?

if by that you mean "would it totally suck?", then yes. yes it would.

[chaosrocks]

gives a slight helping hand to the versatile. of course with the way things are you might not be able to tell a medium change, and some of us use a bunch of media in turn on any one image anyway.
I don't expect to have to deal with round two either actually. I competing against two smart assed art students....

Yes, everybody, Cody is correct. The story of my name is highly XXXOMGHARDCORE!!! If you all want to hear the story, you never will, so there.

Now, back to the thread.....

I started my entry like the first day I found out about this. Then I didn't work on it at all. Now, I hate it, but I'll finish it anyway. It will confuse you all, as it is the most personal piece of art I've ever done in my life. It's all artsy, fartsy, and emo simultaneously. Start up your gag reflexes ....NOW!

GGGGAGGGG!* Damn that looks like the corn I ate last week!:dead:

"Fiduciose vs Ruzkin vs Chuck,Mate. ":x
man, what the fuck have i got myself into.....
i mean, i haven`t seen any of Mr. Ruzkin`s work, but Mr. Fiduciose??
this guy`s insane. i actually had one of his creations stuck on my desktop for a month. holy horse-shit.
do me a favor, kind ppl:
when you find my body (butt-hole stretchd and hands cut-off...)
please don`t play with it. i mean - no sticking things down there, or painting funny stuff on what was once my face.

Oh bloodyhell, why'd I get tagged for YOUR SPOT?! Somebody do me a favorino and erase all the porn off my computer after my vicious MDK. ...Preparations must be made.:xpld:

[Saturns Gate]

I wouldent really mind if the theme and style was changed for the second round...illd probably find it harder to think up new things for the same theme over again and keep them as original as the last if you catch my drift.

Theres me saying that and i aint even in round 1 yet ha!

off topic, but does anybody else get the opening fanfare to Public Enemy's "Welcome to the Terrordome" in their head when they open this thread up? No? Just me?

I'm incidentally reading a magazine with Fiduciose on the front cover, the back cover and on the poster that fell out of the middle. The guy is scary as hell. He's the boss battle of the thunderdome.

Undertow gracefully bowed out for non-pussy reasons, so Asgardian is taking his spot. FYI, domers. How them pieces coming? I haven't even had time to think about mine yet...

[DavePalumbo]

oh, is Cody gonna end up on his own shit-list? Oh man, that'd be crazy!

[Gloominati]

my piece is about half-finished. WHO'S THE MAN???!!! :uzi::uzi::uzi:

Dood this is one of the most intense pieces I have ever made, It's just all about "doin everything it takes to make this one as perfect as possible" I have already learned so much from this!

[Egoartist]

Undertow gracefully bowed out for non-pussy reasons, so Asgardian is taking his spot. FYI, domers. How them pieces coming? I haven't even had time to think about mine yet...
Are you one of them folks that can whip up great art in a few hours?

Finalized my composition yesterday, primed my canvas and will start today or tomorrow :D Tested it on some friends to see if they'll understand the story without me saying anything and it worked. So am happy so far.

[Snarfevs]

My current is about 70% done but I'm having thoughts of ditching it and starting a new one. Seems a bit too abstract atm. We shall see.

[Hybridstar]

Are we only supposed to be creating work if we have been drafted from the reserve list? I'm way down the list so i doubt i will be. Lets hope there will be a number 3.:yayca:

[DavePalumbo]

as has been recomended various times in this and the other thread, you have nothing to lose by doing a piece regardless. There are certain to be a number of no-shows on the big day, the number of which could be alot or a little. If you have a piece on the ready, you may get last minute matched to whoever had a partner go AWOL. If not, you'll still end up with a new piece for your portfolio.

[Beelow]

Yeah, Skan is cooking up something. He may not make it though, well see, hehe!:teeth:

[Saturns Gate]

Well im sort of getting there, just in case theres one of those last min things where someone drops out...not brilliant though DOH!

I was wondering, how long apart are these thuderdomes? Like whens the next one Thunderdome 3 Part 1? or is it randomness

Pencil finished
greyscale tonal study finished

I tried a copule of colour studies in painter but I got nowhere, then I decided to try something I never done before in painter: an umber underpainting and then glazes of colors with artists oil and finally it works!!:O :D

[chaosrocks]

Tomorrow is opening night, so I have spent every waking hour in the theater and some not so waking, but I have a decent start (composition, underpainting . primed) and a week to work between shows,.. and Im getting used to staying up till 3 and getting up at 8. Coffee is my friend.
Chaos

[DavePalumbo]

I was wondering, how long apart are these thuderdomes?

I think they kind of happen when one finishes and Cody is ready to do the next. The first one took the better part of a year to play out, though I think it was six rounds instead of four. I'm guessing this one will go until around Christmas time?

[DavePalumbo]

We're almost down to the last two weeks here. I picked up a little something yesterday to give me some extra power. I will study the secrets.

You have included 31 images in your message. You are limited to using 30 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.
I removed one of your weapons and it worked.

Emo? Well I don't know if we mean the same thing by the word emo but I think emo would have looked like this:

And then at some point you'll proceed to cut yourself? Relax :) am just messing with you. I am shivering in the corner expecting the mighty foot of one of my opponents to mercilessly descend on me.

[Chandan]

I guess it's too late to sign up. haha

[Lewis]

Can I put text in the piece? I cant find no rules about that :-/

[chaosrocks]

you can, but it's IMO its lame. the image should speak for itself.

and chandon , you can ask Strych9ine to put you on the reserves list. make an entry anyway and who knows you might get in.

Drop and roll, Queensoul... you might surprize your self yet!
Chaos

[Lewis]

you can, but it's IMO its lame. the image should speak for itself.


Yeah and a lot of people here on ca.org share ur opinion, ive noticed.
But i dont get it, sure it can be a lame help, but text and image can also enstrenghen each other and tell a story/concept better

[DavePalumbo]

Text can work in many ways and isn't always lame. Some of my favorite pulp novel cover paintings did this with things like a man holding a newspaper where the headline is visible, or standing infront of a sign which is important to the story. It can even be used outside the image but part of the design, though trickier to pull off. Work that text baby!

On another note. Officially scrapping my piece and starting fresh today. Last night I got hit by a bolt of inspiration lightning and saw what to do to correct all the things I was unhappy with in my current piece. I had trouble sleeping I was so pumped.

[magicgoo]

Can we see your scrapped version, Dave, once the contest is all posted and Round 1 is over? I'm curious to see everyone's ideas.

Oh yeah, and hopefully my text isn't "lame." I think it helps my piece because it might be too confusing without it. Although, even with the text, some might not understand it. Oh well. Back to working on it....

[DavePalumbo]

yeah, I still plan to finish it, but it may be a little while before I do that

[AmishCommy]

i thought about throwing text in mine since i'm basically illustrating a song, but most likely, it will be a last minute decision. oh by the way, i should be starting today. FEAR!!!!! (http://www.arkadyroytman.com/drop/Sketchbook/easel.jpg)

[DavePalumbo]

damn right. nothing scarier than a blank surface. I was in the grip of fear yesterday when I had to lay a face into a painting. Just had to slop some paint down to get over it. Once you have something to work with, you know what to do

[chaosrocks]

I worked in print advertising a long time... Im trying to avoid text. I hate designing with text my self. It can work, but I hate having to read the artwork. in galleries I refuse.,... I just walk past it... Image is so much stronger with out having to translate it through reading.. I think having to make that interpretation lessens the impact. Or maybe Im just lazy....:P

just an observation, btu I've noticed that the closer we come to the deadline, the less nonsense is being slung in this thread. Could it be that you're all actually busy working instead?

[Simon Boxer]

Hmmm... Still 18 people before me on reserves, assuming the grey names are people that've pulled out or something?

Got about half an hour's worth of work left in my piece (finishing touches)...
Enjoyable topic to work with.

I'll have to bring this up with Jason. Hopefully we can figure out a way to host all 270 images so that we don't get broken links down the line. Either way, you still need to host your images yourselves... I don't want 270 .jpgs flying into my inbox.

To whomever is on the reserve list:

How many of you will have a piece ready by the due date, regardless of whether or not you're getting in? Since there will inevitably be pussouts come due date, I want to make sure I have fill-ins ready to go. If you submit a piece to me, it will make it easier for you to get in last minute as I'll just plug you in where necessary.

[DavePalumbo]

slow? how'd I get lumped in, I'm fuckin finished! And that's after weeks of dithering on a limp first concept.

Ordinarily I probably wouldn't turn in so early, but my next couple weeks are going to be somewhat iffy on work hours so better safe than sorry. Y'all can suck it. :)

I see a running/striding figure possibly holding a weapon and wearing armour, rough terrain, strikingly phallic protrusions in the background. Beyond that it could be anything.

I'm nervous because like everything else I do, I start with a bang and then lose all hope by the time I've drawn the sketch. I was all excited and started the second I signed up. Then 2 weeks went by and I hadn't touched it. Mine's oils, too, btw. I've only got the rough underpainting done.

Blah.

I need to hire a robot that smacks me whenever I set down my brush.

Or as my wife said to me last night when I told her I needed to buy some new oils, since my current ones are crap:
"You don't paint in oils."
"Yes I do. I'm doing my T-dome piece in them."
"Are you sure this was the right time to try them out?"

Oops.
