You mean that weird little guy with a pointy hat? Indeed, can't seem to remember seeing him in any SE games. While I'm sure everyone will have recognized Frog from CT

Yeah!
I demand my picture be put back in the running

Entr0pi3 · Post by **Entr0pi3** » Mon May 09, 2005 9:26 am

So, should I post my (MS)Paint wallpaper directly in this thread, or send it to you through PM or email or MSN or something ?

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Mon May 09, 2005 10:34 am

Entries need be posted in this thread ONLY.

Read the rules or fear the ban

Ok, then, here comes "Terrific Comeback"

(hopes the summon won't count as an additional character, just a spell)

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Mon May 09, 2005 1:32 pm

Hmm, I will have to discuss it with Chris, but yeah, I think we can count the summon as a spell (just as the flames were part of Sephiroth in the example)...

Thank you for your submission

What's a mini jaffa cakes, and why do I sense myself fearing them?

If you fear them it's because you're an idiot.

You have only 5 days left to submit your entries guys....

I'm afraid (MS)Paint art is underrated, that's why there are so few contestants

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 12, 2005 2:18 pm

People obviously fail to understand the value of Mini Jaffa Cakes

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Thu May 12, 2005 2:27 pm

Fen ownz at MSPaint art, why won't she submit anything?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 12, 2005 2:36 pm

I think people are scared of [google]teh jaffa[/google]

I haven't used mspaint in nearly four years, I expect. Brings back fond memories.

How lame can I be for using the same characters as portrayed in the first example? I couldn't think of anybody who would fit into the composition after I put Sephiroth in there, so in went the mog.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri May 13, 2005 6:49 am

Ones! You beat rachel

Post by **Grey Fox** » Sat May 14, 2005 5:11 pm

Aridhol, that's amazing. Link the high res one so I can use it as my wallpaper. Nice work.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun May 15, 2005 10:10 pm

24 hours left!

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Mon May 16, 2005 10:30 am

??

guess you were tired when you posted that because the deadline was yesterday

Anyway, thanks for your submissions guys

Results will be announced later today, and the winner should PM me his/her address so I can send the delightful Mini Jaffa Cakes

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon May 16, 2005 10:47 am

How did you guess I was tired?

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Tue May 17, 2005 9:17 am

Damien and I have both decided that this picture is the one that most represents the essence of SG2G5, so here is our winner

We also felt that your SG logo was the best, while it was a bit neglected in some other entries *cough*Entropie

*cough*

PM me your address and I shall send you your Mini Jaffa Cakes asap

Again, congrats to all of you and thanks for your entries, and don't forget to check SG frequently as we'll run as many delightful competitions as possible

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue May 17, 2005 9:19 am

Yeah well done

We'll be giving away a family car next week so keep tuned

Entr0pi3 · Post by **Entr0pi3** » Tue May 17, 2005 10:53 am

It's not neglected, it's meant to blend in the background in a subtle way

Rachel just doesn't think you deserve jaffa cakes

So the essence of SG is to kill each other in a dramatic gun battle at sunset?

You didn't even use any orange in that wallpaper, so where did you represent the true essence of SG??

You know I loved your drawing for obvious reasons, but according to the criteria listed in the first post there was something lacking in your picture

Look out for more chances to win more fabulous prizes in more fun ways in the near future
