SRK Ultimate Avatar 2007 Contest! (Prize Included!)

Dearest SRK,

I recently won an all expenses paid cruise through my job that netted me quite a bit of loot, some of which I wish to share with SRK. To give you an idea, we usually win TV’s, Digital Cameras, Digital Camcorders, Computers, etc. I’ve taken a few select prizes from my winning and have decided to bundle them together for one lucky member of SRK.

I’ll be giving away these special items to the person that creates…

THE ULTIMATE AVATAR

All avatar submissions are to be PMed directly to GuMz who will then send them to me for judging, and the winner will be announced on Saturday, November 10th.

The rules are as follows:

-The avatar must not be larger than the premium restrictions set for SRK

-The avatar must be appropriate for SRK (i.e. No Porn)

-Each contestant is only eligible to send in 3 submissions

-Each submission must be sent in by no later than Saturday, November 3rd.

GET HYPE!
:looney::looney::looney:

P.S. Having a caption for your avatar will help you out immensely. The prize package is valued at about $250 and will not be revealed until the winner is announced. Good luck!

hmm interesting im down

That sounds great and all, but telling people to just go with it, especially when there’s $250 in loot on the line isn’t going to help anyone create the ultimate avatar. You really should lay down some guidelines / ideas.

Well, I’m a fan of just about everything avatar-wise. I don’t want to limit creativity in anyway. The avatar makers of SRK have come up with some pretty ridiculous shit over the years, so I just want to see what new ideas they’ve got. I mean, people like quiche and .dub. have made avatars out of completely random stuff that have been amazing. I’m not gonna try to cap their imagination.

I agree that guidelines would help, but I’m down no matter what.

…seriously.

That’s fine that you’re fans of the avatar makers, but you haven’t even told us if you wanted it animated or not (by citing Quiche and .dub. it seems animation would be the better road to follow).

Just throw out SOMETHING. A character to work with, a game, a person, a THEME, something.

Chibi hated free-writing in school.

…seriously.

Abu-ken. Greatest Aladdin Street Fighter fusion pun ever.

Do you really need a path that badly? Do whatever the hell you want!

Animated or Non-Animated

Funny or Sad

Simple or Elaborate

Don’t worry so much and just be creative.

Actually I loved free writing at school.

It’s just making AN ULTIMATE AVATAR is relative, and honestly I can only see the likes of you, .dub., or even OC if he were to return having a chance at winning this.

:\

I honestly think you’re analyzing the situation far too much. It’s all in fun, a friendly competition. Dissecting the meaning of ULTIMATE AVATAR isn’t really necessary at all, if you wanna have some fun and enter, please do. The last thing that I want to see is someone doubting their abilities before they even enter the competition. It doesn’t even necessarily need to be animated, GuMz makes some insane avatars that have little or no animation at all, as do people like Tat Guy and monkeyspank.

A fun, friendly competition doesn’t have $250 on the line. As is that’s the highest ‘prize’ amount for any avatar related contest we’ve had here in IMM.

It’s just that we’ve had plenty of competitions in the past, and well the entries weren’t all that hot outside of the usual people placing high (such as quiche, who repeatedly got 1st).

I’ll enter regardless, but I still don’t know who the hell should be in the damn thing, if anyone at all.

:\

edit: And this is just how I am with things here in IMM. Sorry.

Lol yeah, Chibi is just like that.

Also, way to list me, .dub., and OC but forget DarkDragon and PsychoSquall.

…seriously.

Oh, by the way. Dibs on runner-up.

Yeah you’re right, but I was just listing names off the top of my head.

;p

i’m really thinking about coming out of retirement to take a crack at this…

i do however would like someone to send u all the avatars so u don’t know who is from who =/

you might have bias opinions that you don’t even know that can make or break u liking an avatar.

btw i totally agree with chibi on the theme thing. it’s very hard to think creatively with no guidelines.

its not THAT hard to come up with an idea i got one but sadly my animation skills suck but meh ill see how it comes out.

No, it’s not that hard at all.

But that’s why I said it’s RELATIVE.

There’s only ONE person judging this, and for $250.

I’ve got plenty of avatars I’ve made for myself that I think awesome as fuck, but others didn’t see it that way. That’s why I’m being nitpicky.

That’s a great idea! I’m gonna talk to someone about being the middleman for the avs. Gimme a sec…

^ ill do it idk if ill do this contest
