T-DOME: The Last Man Standing - FINAL ROUND

Almost 9 months after the round one of the Last Man Standing Thunderdome kicked off, 3 competitors from a remarkable cast of 144 have made it to this sixth and final round. Over the course of the thunderdome we've collectively produced hundreds of pieces of artwork, and each of these three competitors have created 5 stunning pieces to carry them where they are today.

So here we are, the last battle of the largest thunderdome to hit ca.org... Dan Milligan vs. steak-tron vs. Jason Chan. Who will be the Last Man Standing?

Round I: 144 Competitors - 2 man battles
Round II: 72 Competitors - 2 man battles
Round III: 36 Competitors - 2 man battles
Round IV: 18 Competitors - 2 man battles
Round V: 9 Competitors - 3 man battles
Round VI: 3 men enter, one man leaves...

Topic:
Last Man Standing
Open ended, interpret as you will guys. The only requirement is that your piece be f'n badass, and with you three there's sure to be nothing less than that.

Deadline:
The official deadline stands at 11:59pm PST Wednesday, May 10th, 2006.

NEW! THE PRIZE!
Jason, being the great guy he is, has put up a free workshop tuition for the winner of the Last Man Standing dome. If you already have a ticket, you can use your ticket to bring a friend along with you. Thanks J, that's too cool of you.

Submissions:
My bandwidth will commit suicide if I hosted the massive amounts of images expected, so I'll have to ask that you upload your image to your own space and send me the link to your image. You can submit your entries in link form to [email protected] in the yournameVScompetitor'sname_TD.jpg format, with the title of your email yourname's entry. Size: Keep your images large enough so that the detail is preserved, but do your best to keep the file size down (Photoshop's Save for Web function can help quite a bit).

Keep your secret weapon secret: do not post up you WIPs or Finished Pieces before the main T-DOME threads are displayed. The best part about this is seeing all the artwork for the first time side by side, don't rob us of that chance.

Judges:
Irene Gallo
Jon Foster
Imp Head
Matt Dixon
Vyle
Elwell

Results: JasonChan 5-1

Matches:

It's on.

So here is what I'm thinking fellas... I could rack my brain coming up with another absolutely brilliant topic, but I figure since you guys made it so damn far you deserve to pick this round's yourselves.

Talk amongst yourselves.

**Beelow** · March 28th, 2006, 03:35 AM

Dammit, this is just gonna be the greatest T-Dome ever!!!!
I am going friggin nuts over here!

**aesir** · March 28th, 2006, 04:26 AM

the topic should be... "a circle"

**Eriboss** · March 28th, 2006, 05:00 AM

Cody man, i reckons you should come up with the topic again - you have done such a fantastic job so far, and its always a great surprise to suddenly read what craziness you come up with and start working on it, rather than knocking ideas back and forth between contestants where it can all get a bit specific?
See you pushed me and i'm sure loasd of others to draw shit that I never would have before, which is cool.

but erm its not up to me hehe

good luck guys,

Eri

Time to queue the Ennio Morricone.

**Fozzybar** · March 28th, 2006, 10:59 AM

yeah, definitely come up with a topic strychie...free topics are not only hard for the artists but also hard to compare and thus to judge...

**JasonChan** · March 28th, 2006, 11:11 AM

Yeah, I trust your creative genius, Cody - you haven't failed to impress us with your great topics so far. Fire away

**Interceptor** · March 28th, 2006, 01:23 PM

Wow, has'nt it been almost a year or so since this was started? How amazing.

**flaptraps** · March 28th, 2006, 01:38 PM

this will be cool

**vigostar** · March 29th, 2006, 11:38 AM

I can hear the Tom-toms banging away in the BG. Scurry.......

**blog** · March 29th, 2006, 12:34 PM

Woah, 6th May? Awesome!

**strych9ine** · March 29th, 2006, 06:34 PM

Topic:
The Dogs of War
Open ended, interpret as you will guys. The only requirement is that your piece be f'n badass, and with you three there's sure to be nothing less than that.

If you guys think the topic sucks, I'll toss another one out for you. Good luck!

**bdfoster** · March 29th, 2006, 06:53 PM

Now I've got that damn Pink Floyd song stuck in my head!!

**noiion** · March 29th, 2006, 07:34 PM

The Dogs of War Holy Cow! This is going to get really messy!

**Dan Milligan** · March 29th, 2006, 07:45 PM

Dogs Of War
Cool, I'm in.

**Fozzybar** · March 30th, 2006, 07:41 AM

you're in? DAMN! Of course you're in! You are one of the finalists...

**nicolas** · March 30th, 2006, 07:53 AM

heh, dogs of war is cool. A couple of days ago I thought it woulda been cool if the final topic woulda been "last man standing".....which is just as open, and woulda been a nice touch....but whaeva.

duke it out ladies.

**Skureal** · March 30th, 2006, 08:03 AM

Really impressive to see all the created art from each round!

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST? You sleep with me and just leave without calling the next day and suggesting a t-dome topic? Hussy.

sorry about that baby, but I had this burning sensation in the groin region after...I think it was the relish

cool that you guys like the topic, it was so blatantly obvious to me that I was kinda surprised noone else came up with it......but thats how it usually goes, the easiest answers are always right in front of your eyes....

stoked to see the entries.

hey cody, If you need one more judge =) ;p

**Eriboss** · March 30th, 2006, 09:31 AM

dogs of war should be sweet too... but... Last man standing... doh.

Eri

**strych9ine** · March 30th, 2006, 09:38 AM

I really do Last Man Standing as a topic better than Dogs of War, so I'll leave it up to you three. Which one do you guys want?

**Dan Milligan** · March 30th, 2006, 09:58 AM

Dog of War(singular)/Last man standing!

**JasonChan** · March 30th, 2006, 03:08 PM

last man standing is pretty cool

**P E N Ricklund** · March 30th, 2006, 03:18 PM

Go for it, this one will be badass, I'm excited to the bone

Hugs!

**strych9ine** · March 30th, 2006, 03:28 PM

Ok guys, if it's ok with all of you I pulled a switcharoo and just made the topic Last Man Standing. It's perfect for the last round (thanks nic)... everyone cool with that?

Love and big gay kisses.

**steak-tron** · March 30th, 2006, 11:32 PM

**steak-tron** · March 30th, 2006, 11:35 PM

Nice banner too Cody, all your graphic designery has really given this an "offical" edge. Even though this has been kicking my ass it's great to have 5 new pics.
