Okay, since I somehow managed to win Fanartist of the Month for May (we really should tighten up the rules for this thing) I will now present the Theme for this month.

I'd like to see iconic images -- famous paintings, movie scenes, classic scenes from TV, and the like -- recreated or subverted in a way related to a Team17 game. (I say that, but we all know everyone will just do Worms anyway.) A bit like that Worms version of the Mona Lisa, or that Star Wars based Apathy comic from way back when. But use your imagination; I'd rather not see a whole thread full of portraits with big eyes, large overbites, and no noses.

(Bonus points if your picture is clear enough that you don't have to explain what the referenced famous image is supposed to be.)

Have fun, or don't.

(For the confused (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/06/04/olympic_logo/))

i'd make it if i had the skill but i recommend someone make a pic of the worms as the rat pack from the original ocean eleven. or the dirty dozen (i love army movies) or even 12 angry men.
DAMN!!!!!!! I need to learn to draw

I sure see a dark and thunderous adventure ahead of us.

That's it. Pigbuster wins. Thread over. ;)

Yeah, that's damn good.

WHY ANDREW TAYLOR DO THREAD. He not drawed arts for competing :mad:

You made him win, so stop complaining :)

Hey, I'm just trying to keep things moving. Preferably in some passably sensible direction.

Iconic, iconic... hmm...

Should be fun :)

You put him on the poll, and the winner from the poll has to create the next month's fanart thread. Plus, you left the only sensible entry off the poll.

I've got an idea for this :D

I can't decide if this is the most comical thing I've seen today...

. . .

I don't get it. :p
Thomasp looks exeedingly funny though.

Do a Google image search for "iwo-jima"

Ahaha!
Nice. ;)

He looks a little constipated!

Or, I hope that he's inside that apple, and not the other way around!

nice picture :)

Ta.

No comment.

Quite different from the others, and dunno if it really counts (but the fact he said movie scene brings me to the conclusion it does), but here we are.

Points for saying what happens next :p

A certain amount of hearing loss occurs.

Err... I think he may have a problem there.

Worms have a distinct lack of ears.

Points for saying what happens next :p

ASide from the obvious "no ears" thing, if that was me in that chair I'd untie myself -- when your hands aren't attached to your body, escaping being tied to things is easy.

Random drop-inning.
The picture in question is overused and cliched, but iconic nonetheless...

Win! Instant Win!

I don't think we can have more than one instant win per competition.

This thead = win.

This thead = win.

I do hope so. Two months running without drawing a thing would be quite impressive.

Interesting idea, I think I'll enter this month, after the exams. :)

I think I'll be able to draw something too. The idea is funny, and we can find many references of great films (or other things)...

Yes, it's crap. Do I care? No.

You know...

You're absolutely right.

You know, it's been too long, I'm in!

I have a great idea! Sacraligiously good! OH CRAP, I said too much!

I'm still voting Pigbuster here; anything beating that will have to be pretty impressive!

Ah ha! Pigbuster you rule!

rule ya, PigBusta'!!

*hops on*

ehm.. i dunno where to put this (not intentionally fanart) and I didnt want to make a separate thread for it so...
here it went to :)

i remember that from somewhere =P:D

ehm.. made with msn

OMG u used MSN? >.>

Looks like someone stole your idea... (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?)

:pOwch.

Oh well, he probably came up with it independently.

Owch.

Or he stole your idea and put a Copyright on it, And now he´s gonna sue you... or not :P :rolleyes:

I don't think you can sue for copyright infringement.



Or can you...
Hmm... How much do you think I would get from Romans if I copyrighted blueprints to the colloseum?

You could sue for someone copying your idea, if they made money out of it.

Of course you can; it's a civil offence, how else could you enforce it?

But you can't copyright a blueprint to an existing-- You know what, I don't even know what you're talking about now.

Sorry, I meant you can sue a person that made his worm before you copyrighted it.

But Liketysplitt hasn't really inventred anything unique yet, so my point still stands.

OMG u used MSN? >.>Lol, yeah! :D
As I said not originally intended as fanart.. still it's nice :)

Or he stole your idea and put a Copyright on it, And now he´s gonna sue you... or not :P :rolleyes:

He couldn't even if he wanted too - Paul automatically owns a copyright to any art he produces, so long as he can prove he did before the other person. I reckon his posting it here before whoever makes VGCats posted their version would be good enough evidence.

Given that the image is a combination of two copyrighted works anyway, I don't think it would be in anyone's interests to sue.

whos VGCats?

whos VGCats?

http://www.vgcats.com/

owh... didn't notice that URL (http://www.vgcats.com).

I can not do arts for competing my pen broken!! Can some person buy me a new pen please? I have no moneys. :(

Never mind. You may still win. We'll just have to see who I put on the poll.

Edit: When are these supposed to end?

I bought it, come pick it up. :D

Have a look at Pen Island's website (Google it) - I'm sure they have a nice selection ;)

Sure, I'll buy you a $ 160 pen just because you post here!

You could always get a sword. I mean, I know the pen's mightier than it, but I'm sure the sword'll do in a pinch.

(OR)

Make like a Russian and use a pencil.

(OR)

Mudhsuden Singh Paint (or Mahendra Singh Paint, if you prefer your cricket references Indian. Or Michael Scott Paint for Australians. Or...).

Have a look at Pen Island's website (Google it) - I'm sure they have a nice selection ;)

www.pen island.com (remove the space).

you should put it as "pen island.com" (oh. wait. i get what you mean.)

i wonder which smart alec thought of that domain name.

I imagine he initially just wanted www.pen1sland.com to reflect the website name (pen island) as spaces are not allowed in URLs. Anyway, I would have thought that he didn't notice it could be read (and would be read more frequently) as peni5 land.

yeah. i thought of that too at first. peni5 land. lol.

lol if someone fell 4 that i wud laff!! :D

This train has completely gone off track! Bringing it on-track again:

u make that pic?

I don't get the reference tho. :p

Edit: When are these supposed to end?Probably by next month.

lol if someone fell 4 that i wud laff!! :D
pen!sland is actually a pen website.

http://independentsources.com/2006/07/12/worst-company-urls/

who doesnt know..

lol if someone fell 4 that i wud laff!! :D

It is possible that you tried it and got the wrong website, as I accidently put the wrong URL.

Anyway, it's actually www.pen island.net (remove the space).

Intercapping is often used to clarify a domain name. However, DNS is case-insensitive, and some names may be misinterpreted when converted to lowercase. For example: Who Represents, a database of artists and agents, chose whorepresents.com; a therapists' network thought therapistfinder.com looked good; and another website operating as of October 2006, is *****land.net a website for Pen Island, a site that claims to be an online pen vendor, but exists primarily as a joke, as it has no products for sale. In such situations, the proper wording can be clarified by use of hyphens.

so... ehm... poll time? :)

long time ago.

Yes, sorry, I'm currently in Denmark and haven't had chance to sort this out. I'll do that now.

Edit: Damn, should have put myself on the poll again.

hey AT, i think you would wanna make this thread unsticky anymore. it wont die as long as it is sticky.

Good point. Doing it now.

nice job in removing the adhesive.
