Title: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Deezer on July 01, 2008, 12:13:20 AM
Update: The contest is officially over. Congratulations to the winner, Tsornin (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=11890.msg516851#msg516851)!

Attention all artists! We are looking to replace the staff Miis (http://themushroomkingdom.net/staff.shtml) with new caricatures. The caricatures will be used in our mailbags (http://themushroomkingdom.net/mailbag.shtml) as well. Post your drawings here or e-mail (http://themushroomkingdom.net/contact.shtml) them to us and we'll pick a winner in about two weeks. EDIT: Please send us the files in PNG format.

Bird Person (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=11885.0) is currently in the lead -- will anyone else be able to take first place? Good luck!

Prizes
Virtual Console and/or WiiWare game(s) for up to 1000 Wii Points provided by Luigison.

This is good and well, but perhaps this contest should be announced on the site? The banner contest (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=6838.0) was.

I'll contribute if any amount of creativity strikes me within the next week or so.

Where must we post the drawings, or do we must send them to someone?

Good luck, Super Caterina! Anyway, I would post the drawings here or send them in an e-mail to Deezer. (http://themushroomkingdom.net/contact.shtml)

Deezer, did my tip have you do this?

Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Kuromatsu on July 01, 2008, 01:43:58 PM
Well, I was going to try to draw something, but after hearing that Super Caterina! was in on this, my right hand had proceeded with hanging itself.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Suffix on July 01, 2008, 02:08:00 PM
Actually, I think I'll try my hand at creating caricatures, if only for variety.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: PaperLuigi on July 01, 2008, 02:49:29 PM
Yeah, I might as well just give up if Super Caterina is entering.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: BP on July 01, 2008, 03:58:50 PM
Don't give up. What's the fun in that? I don't know if I can beat Super Caterina, and if Fifth enters I'll really be out of it, but I'm still going to try. That is, I'm making changes and improvements on them in secret.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Super Caterina! on July 01, 2008, 04:12:21 PM
Oh! If there is no one that enter because of my presence... I won't enter, too!XD
 I don't like to win authomatically because there are no othe partecipants: it's like a party without guests! XD

And then I haven't said yet I must partecipate: it's just an idea! ;p

Then if you don't try, you will never know how good really you are!

Thank you, Deezer for editing my post for me. I give good luck to all who enter! I'm not entering because I stink at drawing.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Suffix on July 02, 2008, 06:01:02 PM
Talent isn't entirely necessary in making caricatures. It would be as abstract as you wish! I personally hope to see a lot of variety at the end of this.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Turtlekid1 on July 02, 2008, 06:26:05 PM
Whether I will contribute or not depends on my level of motivation and if my recently-won-off-Ebay copy of Kirby Air Ride comes in the mail soon.  Cause if it does, the next 2 weeks are pretty much booked for me.

Koopaslaya's Mushroom Boy caricature would make a great salt shaker.

Post by: Luigalaxy on July 03, 2008, 08:24:02 AM
Now that I think about it, I might be able to make a cariacature without using drawing. Time to check my computer for Photoshop...

Yes! Found it. Now to find some pictures.

Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Sapphira on July 03, 2008, 07:25:18 PM
Awesome contest idea!

Imageshack? Photobucket? Don't those turn everything into JPGs? *Shudder* Upload them as attachments if you must, or just email them.

Some tips/tidbits about me:
~My hair looks darker in those pictures than it actually is.
~My eyes are blue--possibly with a hint of green, but overall they're blue.
~I no longer sport the headband look. If you'd still like me to have a hair accessory, go with a bobby pin/barrette on the left side (your right) of my part line. That's up to you, though. ;P
~I always wear a necklace. And earrings, but my hair might cover them.
~Keep my top in some shade of blue or purple.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest

I might as well make a request, then: put me in a polo shirt. I've got somewhere around eight of them.

Post by: Luigison on July 03, 2008, 08:58:21 PM
I couldn't find any new good digital pictures so the old bad video will have to do.  (Disregard the Red Steel stuff in the video.  I made it for a contest.)  Make the caricature however you want, but to let you know I usually wear a black, gray, or brown Nintendo (NES controller), Mario (Poison Mushroom), or The Simpsons (Hit & Run) hat and the glasses seen in the video when outside.  I also typically wear polo or t-shirts in black or bright colors like orange or yellow, but you are not restricted to any of these things.  Do whatever.  Want more ideas?  Search the forums for my favorite games, books, music, etc.  Or look at my Fungi Forums profile, my luigison.kontek.net files, my dennisshows.stumbleupon.com blog with the "pages liked" and my tags on it.  Check out digg.com/users/Luigison or my NeoGAF posts.  Take whatever you like.  It may be a caricature of me, but make it your own.  I'm not afraid of a little creative license.  Heck, make several versions of me.  I don't care.  It may be a TMK contest, but it's your art. 
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Kuromatsu on July 03, 2008, 09:06:06 PM
Sheesh, you act like everyone is taking this contest really seriously.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Luigison on July 03, 2008, 09:17:11 PM
They should be.  It's a chance to have ones own artwork on the greatest Mario fan site and mailbags ever made.  Seriously.  I mean we're also giving away a ton of fabulous virtual prizes.  What better things could there be?  (Don't answer that.)

Wait a sec... who gets to decide which "me" looks most like me?

(Returns to Wii Fit.)

I'm seriously considering entering my OWN batch of illustrations, now.

Go ahead, David. I'm entering stuff, after all.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Luigalaxy on July 04, 2008, 05:53:30 PM
I've decided to not do it (again.). Simply because the idea I had in my mind was not possible.
And it's been awhile since David or Sapph posted. Hi.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Kuromatsu on July 04, 2008, 10:08:13 PM
Just for the record, I'm not in this contest. The picture I drew was just some attempt which took far too long, and it isn't even a caricature.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Fryguy64 on July 05, 2008, 07:42:58 PM
I swear, until TMK has a news feed, I'm gonna miss important stuff like this. I'm all over this!! Artwork arriving in a couple days!!
Will attempt Mario-style artwork.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Luigison on July 05, 2008, 07:51:53 PM
I added TMK to my iGoogle page a long time ago, but it's slow to update.  It's currently showing news from June 8th.

Post by: Fryguy64 on July 05, 2008, 08:20:48 PM
Preliminary sketches done. Looking good. Even managed to nab MegaByte's profile for this. But alas, alcohol and finishing artwork don't mix.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Suffix on July 05, 2008, 09:56:09 PM
Impressive. If you ask me, Megabyte's a pretty tough guy to draw, too. I have only one person left to draw: myself.

Is there a due date of some kind?  And must there be caricatures of all eight staff members?  It's eight, right?
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Deezer on July 08, 2008, 12:12:26 AM
Due date is tentatively set for 7/15.
I don't know if Jesse is coming back or what.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Forest Guy on July 08, 2008, 11:30:08 PM
I might try my hand at these. I just took up drawing a year ago, and my tablet is getting dusty.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Super Caterina! on July 09, 2008, 02:50:26 AM
I have finished the caricatures: they are in the attachment! =)


First of all I have put also Super Jesse, even if these days he is absent (he will be back, right? And so...;p), then I must say that I have been completelly inspired by Super Mario human characters you can see in every Mario spinnoff for game boy serie!^_^
So, the staff members would look like this if they were in a Super Mario game (example: http://www.mariowiki.com/Sherry . http://www.mariowiki.com/Gene. My favourite human characters! XD)! =p

I hope there are not mistakes in these caricatures (and for other stuff XD)....

To Dezeer: I sent you an email with the caricatures, but I have modified them a little. Those I have posted here are the definitive ones! ^_^' Hope it is ok!
I'll put a "lonely" version for every staff member, if it is better (instead of putting this kind of "group pic").


Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: CrossEyed7 on July 09, 2008, 04:38:40 AM
Those are pretty much the coolest things I've seen since... a long time ago. I want to play an RPG with those characters right now. Love the colors. In fact, I'd marry the colors if I could.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: BP on July 09, 2008, 05:24:39 AM
Hoh! Incredible! Between FryGuy, Super Caterina and the lousy prize, my only reason to work on my set anymore is the possibility that Deezer might go with Max's idea of a script that generates a participant's set of caricatures upon loading the page.

I can't say if I'd rather see FryGuy or Caterina win, though. FryGuy's set fits a more mature feel that goes well with the professional build of TMK, while Caterina's captures the fun of Mario exceedingly well.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: Turtlekid1 on July 09, 2008, 07:59:40 AM
...both of which are part of the site... a close call indeed.  Although, truth be told, Caterina's art style and color schemes (and outfits) appeal to me more.

Those are fantastic. I feel like I just walked through the TMK Art Gallery.

Augh! I had to wait almost three days to see Super Caterina's work! I was not disappointed in the least.

And I've got to admit, those entries are some of the most unique yet, CrossEyed7.

The shape of Deezer's head in CrossEyed7's cariactures reminds me of The Scream.  But he isn't screaming.  Is it because he hasn't the arms to re-enact it?  He has no arms and he must scream.

luigalaxy needs to give it a rest, bigtime.

:P Good, good. Those were nice. Like Vincent art (I have to agree with bobman.)

Gasp, a contest, and I just found out today.

Mine are kinda portraity and not very caricatury.

Whoa! That's new! Never mind the portraitiness, those are really cool. My upcoming entry is even more portrait-like, though.
Title: Re: Staff caricatures contest
Post by: bobman37 on July 14, 2008, 08:16:12 PM
I like those. I can't wait to see everyone's! I might have said this before, but I sure hope the staff will decide to use all of these drawings on the staff page, not just the winner.

Wow! Don't forget we'd need those separated for the site though.

Let's give everybody a few more days. We'll close the contest on July 20.

I sent an e-mail with the separate files, which are also higher res (500px).

Those are fantastic. They have a 3D (and muscular) look in them. Very good.
Caterina might just be beat.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Finally! I really need to go to sleep, but I had to finish these before I leave tomorrow-- I mean, today! These sort-of-caricatures were originally pencil sketches, and then retraced with vectors (and polished occasionally with bitmap layers). Here's what they would look like appearing in order on the staff page...

If I have time tomorrow before I leave on Sunday, I'll show you the original sketches.

Nice. They look like normal-aged cariactures, as opposed to some of the others.

The votes are in, and the winner is Tsornin! Tsornin, please check your e-mail for more information.

Thanks again to everyone who entered. Since we got some really great submissions, some of the other caricature sets will also go up on the site in the future.

Congratulations, Tsornin. You're Internet Famous™ now.

As for all the other caricatures, I think they should go up somewhere. Perhaps have a link to a page with them if you click on the staff page pictures?

Upon attempting to kill the Miis and replace them with Tsornin's caricatures, Deezer discovers that the Miis have become too powerfully uncool to die and beat him to death with their baseball bats, golf clubs, karts and bikes. It's then they effectively stole TMK from him. Years later they escape the confines of the computer and take over the governments of the world and eventually conquer more parts of the universe than you could think of.

Ah, I keep forgetting to show the interesting part about my caricatures: the tracer images. Some of them look better than the retraced images!

This thread did two great things for me.  First, I saw some great artwork; thanks to everyone who contributed.  Second, I learned how to spell caricature.  Where the "h" went is beyond me.  Maybe the Brits stole it.
