dink squad: dink smallwood fan art contest

open the comments to read it, silly

ok ladies and gentlemen, its time for me to stop this foolishness. dink squad contests are pretty much a failure. the DDC dmod contest was up for 6 months at least and i didnt receive a single entree. sure maybe it just wasnt that good of an idea but when 8 people claim to be making one in a BOLD FACED LIE it comes to a point when i need to just come out and say that it sucks. it all sucks.

i came up with a simple idea on the forum to just get rid of all the prizes but seriously it all just sucks so screw it this is what we are gonna do now, plain and simple. we are gonna have a dink smallwood FAN ART contest. now i know people out there are some creative frickers and can draw because ive seen some of peoples artwork around here so theres just no excuse this time.lets bring it on. show me what youvvvve got.

contest rules: submit artwork that is either hand drawn, painted, digitally painted, crayon, marker, pen, etc you can either email me a decent quality image file or contact me and ill give you an address to mail the drawing to me.

the theme of the contest is dink smallwood. the more creative the better. you can include people places and things that are familiar in the dink world, or focus on a particular creature like a bonca, goblins, an intense fighting scene of dink using magic, the great dead dragon carcass, dinks mothers flesh being burnt off of her smoking skull while she is still alive and screaming in pain and agony or WHATEVER. its all good. its up to you to pick what you want to draw.

the contest deadline is july 1st but there will be extensions if requested, especially if someone needs to send in a drawing by snail mail

winner is selected by myself. winner will receive a dead dragon carcass wall clock and a headless duck pin. runners up will receive headless duck pins.

i have 1 last final announcement. if you havent done so yet, please sign up for the dink squad facebook page. i know there are many people who are new here who may not be entirely familiar with the history of the dink squad. now, i love new people. new people are what keeps dink community fun. especially in an internet world full of trash and elitist retarts who do nothing but call each other faggots all day and tell each other to shut up because they are idiots. the dink smallwood community has and will always be a rare oasis from the rest of the idiot internet mentality. so thanks to all the new people for coming to the dink community and continuing to participate. lets keep it up!

ok enough pep talk. the dink squad is a website that was started up by myself several years ago and was run by phoenix for a stint and also helped by people such as carrie and glennglenn. the purpose of the website was to try and enhance the dink smallwood community by allowing dinkers to share photos with each other. mainly people have sent in photos of themselves and pets but dink squad has also hosted contest for people to share pictures of weird objects, photos of their rooms, their work attire, dink costumes and more.however i feel the website is pretty much dead. i am officially announcing that the website will never be updated. i feel the facebook page will serve the purpose of the dink squad. please sign up for the facebook page and start uploading pictures today! all original dink squad photos may also be found on a link on the dink squad facebook.

ok thats it for now. have fun creating your artwork!

Now THIS is something to which I'll give a go!
Hope sending a parcel to New Zealand doesn't cost too much

Although I have a facebook but don't check it unless I get an email alert, I'll sign up.

I'm going to upload a series of pictures for this. How should I go about doing that?

you can upload whatever you want to dink squad facebook whether it be fan art, dinker pics etc however i stated that any contest entrees need to be sent to me so i can judge them and pick a winner

K I just did

This sounds like fun!

Nice, finally a real contest.

This should be a lot of fun, but the enthusiasm doesn't look like it should look like so far.

I'll enter if I can come up with a cool idea... That should at least set the bar really low art-wise.

Hey, both me and my girlfriend are going to submit something. Although I doubt it will be before july 1st. We are done with school on the last week of june and that's when I'm going to start my kick ass drawing.

In other words: EXTEND THE CONTEST WITH A WEEK JOSHRIOT!

ok 1 week extension

I'm sketching on something too..

I've sent you an entry. I didn't have the time to make a totally awesome fan art since I'm going on vacation tomorrow, but it's not too crappy either... Oh, well.

well so far this means marpro is winning, unless anyone else wants to try and take that ddc clock away from him... i guess we just have to wait and see

dangit... Still working on mine lol.

you still have a couple weeks

All right, I have an idea that I intend to implement if I get the motivation in time.

ok is anyone still making anything? the contest is ending unless you say something

I'll work on something. If I don't PM you by this time tomorrow, I'm not doing anything.

I'll forfeit my entry; couldn't find suitable images to finish it and got distracted too much.

It's between Pillbug and Marpro! TAKE 'EM DOWN PILLY!

Joyce and I are working on something. We're about 50% done.

I think we'll be done on monday.

lets do 1 week

Submitted.

I sent mine in a few days ago
Oh, and Christiaan, how did you submit fan art with no arms (bonca avatar)?

You don't want to know.

.....
I don't think I do.

It involves typing with boxing gloves. An art only boncas and cartoon characters with Mexican wrestling masks have mastered.

ok so is that everyone? last call

Nope, I still need to send you my work.

I'll get around to it later tonight.

ok but just so you know i threw all the prizes in the garbage and now im going to be sending out chocolate cakes instead

Oh, the humanity!

I'm done with this competition.

That cake had better be duck shaped!

ok contest is over. results will be posted as soon as i finish baking my duck shaped chocolate cake prizes.

Whaaaa?!! I didn't 'know' there was gonna be cake! Aw, man.

well you still have the next ten minutes to submit something the cake is still in the oven

So it ended as a disaster again?

So when will the results be out?

some time next week probably

Probably?

Any luck on these results yet?

I knew this was another failure contest.

I actually would have sent something in by now, but it's all Tal's (friend's) fault that I haven't.

yeah i pretty much gave up

So the contest is definitely cancelled? 'Cause then I know I can submit my entry here without having to wait for the results.

What a useless contest.

Ditto. The previous contests were at least cancelled for a genuine reason, this just seems to be because joshriot is feeling emo.

Hah, epic fail. Joshriot, you are mad at people for not entrying to your contest, but when they actually like the contest for once, you cancel it. Now, what the hell's up with that?

I WANT MY DUCK SHAPED CHOCOLATE CAKE!

Hehe. Emo.

i didnt cancel the contest i just didnt get any submissions someone spent more than 10 minutes on. really i just dont care anymore.

so the winner is christiaan who sent a video anyway i deleted my inbox to my email on accident so i need anyone to resend their pictures and their addresses for their headless duck pins

final results:

1st place: christiaan
last place: skull for being a snot

Well maybe you should have written in the rules that if you didn't like the drawings or something like that you would just drop the contest.

I absolutely agree with Skull.

Wooh! Go Christiaan! Do we get to see pics of the projects (don't me to horrified by mine)?

I'll submit my file some time this week, don't expect much though (although Joycielaanie and I did spend more than 10 minutes on it. At least 11!).

Yay, I was in the last place!

But seriously, I never even entered the contest so I couldn't possibly have any place, and secondly, Marpru aggrez wit' meh so suk on dat!

I tink I has came on 4th plais.

So...what happens now? Do the entries get duck cakes (or pins...preferably pins)?
