How it works

- Within the next 3 days You will reply in this thread saying that you "are in", This means you have until Saturday the 6th, at 11:59 PM US Eastern time to get in. No late participants will be accepted unless someone drops out!

- I will then literally select the teams from a hat, at complete random. No whining about your partner unless its hilarious. Once the teams are selected, I will post them in this thread on Sunday the 7th.

The GOAL
- You and your partner create an image, using any tactics you would decide on! One can do the lineart, one can color, you can each do a half of the picture, or any way you wish. Don't be afraid to send it back and forth a few times to achieve the best quality picture your team can come up with! You must follow the theme that has been provided, but may take any spin on it that you can think up.

RULES
- Photoshop, Flash, Painter, Gimp, and other programs are a must, unless you are an exquisite MSpaint artist, or have a scanner/digital camera.
-DO NOT JOIN IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT IT ..It screws over your partner who probably really wanted to contribute, and is going to cost you like a million cool points.
- It is recommended that you provide a link to a higher quality image
- Once you know who your partner is, PM them with your contact info (Instant Messanger, e-mail, etc.)
- If your partner does not respond within a few days, PM me and I will try to find you another partner, but I really am hoping this doesn't happen.
- Abide by all NG art forum and site rules
- BOTH artists must contribute!
- Try to stay away from photomanipulation, but it isnt against the rules. I just feel it will be better if it is drawn art instead
- Give a description of what it is, and who did what in your piece!
-----------------------------
THEME -- Video Game re-design. That's right. I know there is a thread for this already, but this will be slightly different. You can choose ONE game. Agree on one, and you each do a part. You can each do a character, or you can have someone draw the background, and someone re designs the character. Feel free to be as creative as you can, as that will earn you cool points. It doesn't have to be a well known game, (although it is better if it is) but lets not have EVERYONE do a mario or sonic thing, okay?

DEADLINE -- 2 Weeks after the teams are distributed. So you have from Sunday the 7th of September, to Sunday the 21st of September, 11:59 PM US eastern time.

Yeah, feel free to come up with anything that you can think of. The scenery, characters, concept, theme of the game are all good things to consider besides the characters, but I feel like we will see something like: One person re-does Link, and the other does Zelda, and then collab on the background. It doesn't have to be an old game, its just your own stylized version of it :)

I think we will get some cool stuff out of it, don't you?

Response to NG Doubles Showdown 5! Sep 4, 2008


Ah! Count me in before the entry date is over!

I'm not able to be on the internet much anymore, so I lose track of new events, BUT, I can still do art ;D

Bring it on >:D

Sorry guys. D;

Maybe we can come up with a list of some video game characters that can also be put into a hat and each team can be assigned a random character...
