OnePixel's Halloween Contest!

OnePixel was having a hard time loading the poll last night so I've given him a hand.

But remember, this was the brainchild of OnePixel, and he only! Thank you for a great contrest, pal!

BOO...It's Halloween! Vote for best costume!

From Member OnePixel...

"First of all I want to thank everyone that played along. It was pretty tough trying to decided the final 10. What I looked for in judging was creativity, originality, effort, skill and just plain fun. There were at least 3 or 4 more that worthy."

All incredibly well done.

Especially liked Ozmoid's...

...but it was Winters860 that scared me the most...:yikes:








:bat::bat::bat::bat::bat::bat::bat::bat::bat::bat: :bat::bat::bat:

Man, oh man. What a tough choice! "There can be only one".

I chose. Congrats to all entrants- a fine job all around.

Too bad we have these large stinkin' issues goin' on- sorta kills the fun.

Remember-"Time Heals All Wounds"....and also..."Time Wounds All Heels"

later.....willhowl:thmbsp:

Thanks Carl for the contest. I had a lot of fun, and it was great to see everyone bringing their usual avatars "up a notch". :D

Next year we all need to dress up in "YOU WILL HATE ME" T-shirts. :smoke:

Hard to pick. All did a good job. Glad it's a secret ballot.


Happy Halloween!

This was a great idea on OnePixel's part! :thmbsp: Thank you Carl. :D It was a fun distraction and there were some truly scary entries. :yikes:

Great job everyone! I made my vote! :thmbsp:

Scott

It was a "howl". Plus I learned how to make basic animated gif's.
Thanks Carl.

Many great entries and good luck to all!

Barry

Great job everyone. You made it really tough to cast a single vote.

Good luck and Happy Halloween!:thmbsp:

All incredibly well done.

You got that right.

Great efforts by one and all. My vote's cast. :D
Tom

Hey Paul,

Did you set up the poll? Thanks I was having problems with it.

Thanks,
Carl

btw...I forgot all about Deli's two headed smokin bunny. One of my favorites. It was late last night and kinda crazy.

Again I want to thank everyone for getting into the spirit and playing along. There were many to choose from and using the judging criteria I set up I did my best on the selections.

I've voted....... Happy Halloween. And yes, Deli's Bunny is great, so is Spartanmanors and fotno is a true artist!

May the best creation win! There are some great choices here (mine excluded).

It twere a tough choice to make, lots of good entries. :thmbsp: Ozmoid, too bad you didn't use the were-frog, he was a shoo-in. :D

So far there is a 3 way tie (Holst, fotno, spartanmanor) for first, with the Frog in the Blender tight on their tails vying for the Bee Gees CD.

:D

Bump, and shameless appeal for votes. :D

Snade

I like yours Snade.. Steve McFrankenstein.

Update. Spartanmanor had sliced the competition for sole possession of 1st place but Ozmoid hopped up to challenge. fotno is still cooly close behind, while Holst headless and bleeding profusely is mounting a comeback.

Bump, and shameless appeal for votes. :D

Snade



In his best Count's voice...

one...yes, one...

I have one...vote for sell....bwhahaaaa!

Thunder sounds in the background.

Some people came up with some really good ideas! Great job.

I liked your concept...but well, it looked to real.

:D

I think the poll is broken. I've been stuck at 3 votes for hours.

Onepixel, I can promise you one slightly used Mr. Clean Magic Eraser pad for your vote.

Not to put too much pressure on you. :D

Snade, thanks but I have life time supply of Magic Erasers.

You should've lit up the smoke and those spark plugs!

Ozziemoid has sprung into the lead.

I wanna know is how he managed to get the green bar.

My vote is in; some really creepy-looking avatars :bat:

Holst picked up 6 more votes since he promised analog FM would not go away during his tenure.

Dammit ! I shoulda thought of that.

I had a lot of fun making mine. I tried the animated gif thing but had a hell of a time with some of the different programs I dowloaded and tried.

Maybe free Pioneer t-shirts for everyone that votes for me?

That should do it. :D

Hell I've been stuck at 3 all day. :wtf:

Oh well. It was fun seeing all the mods to the avatars. Maybe next year.

Those guys have been campaigning all day. Making promises, bribery, kissing babies, appearing on Oprah. Seems to be working.

Bribery? Dammit, I voted too early. :D

I'm beginning to wonder.:scratch2:

OK, Howsabout I keep my home boys from moving to your neigborhood and if they already have moved in I will get them to leave. Otherwise, I give them my blessing to take your wimmen, drink your beer, take your jobs, and all of your prized vintage gear! Vote for me and I will make it so.:D

I THOUGHT IT WAS BRILLIANT!

Well done all!--great fun!

As I understand it, the one with the FEWEST votes wins this thing, right?

I liked the concept, too. I just cut some McIntosh stuff from a picture, and pasted it to a Bose picture. Once I saw all the animated stuff people were coming up with, I knew I was out of the running. I thought about adding a CD tray that cut off someone's fingers, but I don't have any experience with animation software. Or I thought of having an animated CD load up. Maybe "Thriller" or Britney Spears. That would've really made it scary!

Dammit ! I shoulda thought of that.

Keep in mind I'm from Minnesota, no one from this state has ever hung on until the 4th quarter.

But ya...analog radio forever if I win.

Gotta run, I'm on with Leno in a few minutes.

Oh, I see now. Kissing everbody's ass, huh?:butt1: Not me, nosirreebob.

I suppose Ozmoid is on Larry King Live!

Being nominated is just as rewarding as winning.

(he says holding back the bitter pain of losing)

Well Snade that Steve McQueen-Frank-N-Steen was scary enough for my vote :D Well done!

A gentleman and a scholar.

Thanks. Snade

Too bad thats when they always loose it. You will be doing better than the Vikes if you can pull it off. :yes: I'm pulling for a Minnesota win!

(he says holding back the bitter pain of losing)

I'm am very grateful also for being nominated. Thought I might have done better though will all the Pioneer and cat lovers around here.

I was excited at the possibility of winning onepixel's best of cd. Maybe he will sell copies. :scratch2:

Frogenstein just happened to coincide with the final entry date. The WereFrog did get the most commentary.

I wanna know is how he managed to get the green bar.That one is just a little too bizarre for me, too... :para:

I suppose Ozmoid is on Larry King Live!You need to send a minion over to clean my monitor. :lmao:

Thank you Sir, you are too kind! It was fun wasn't it?

I like the dog, who's that?

That's Rudy - Born Christmas day (therefore Rudolph). Could've been worse. Could've been Wenceslaus!:D

Woh! The Peptol Bismol finally kicked in. No more habeneros or jalapenos for me. At least for now.

I had to vote for Fotno... anyone who can draw what he did with just pen & ink gets my vote! :yes: :thmbsp:

Scott

That's Rudy - Born Christmas day (therefore Rudolph). Could've been worse. Could've been Wenceslaus!:D

Wenceslaus would be a good name too, Rudy has a nice face.

Woh! The Peptol Bismol finally kicked in. No more habeneros or jalapenos for me. At least for now.

At least not til later this morning:D but yeah, it's nice to have my head intact again.

Where's our winner?


Ozmoid!!!!!
Ozmoid!!!!!
Ozmoid!!!!!
Ozmoid!!!!!

I can't believe I've never really shown any of my artwork at AK. It was my life's aspiration for a very long time, and just about all I talked about.

So here you go Scott, some free-hand pen & inks w/some Photoshop color. A a self-caricature, a little drawing of one of my heroes, and my lawn-mower... Hey, I was bored when I did the lawnmower!:D

I like the Lawn Tractor.

Congrats to the winners.

It was fun.

Scott

My sentiments exactly! Hey, there's always next year.
Congrats to all the wieners... I mean, winners! :D
Tom

Wow...the poll is closed. How'd that happen?!

I didn't vote yet!!!! I would've given it to Spartanmanor just to make it interesting. Could you guys PM me your address.
1st Ozmoid, and send me a list of tunes you want on the iPod. I will fill it with polka and disco if you don't!
2nd Holst, darn...I didn't get to make you sweat some.
3rd Spartanmanor, I'm not totally cruel, unless you really like the Bee Gees.

Thanks again to everyone who participated and to the Mods who tried to help me with my poll problem. (I know what that sounds like.)

It was fun!

:D

Thanks all, I had a ball seeing what each of you brought to the party, it was a lot of fun!

I think this should officially disqualify me for next year. :yes:

Carl, leave off the disco - polka and klezmer music would be better. :D
(EDIT - OK, my wife is asking for the disco to be left in the mix... :sigh: )
