Title: Gundam Competition
Description: Short Story Comic


G-man - December 17, 2008 11:56 AM (GMT)
Hello Guys n Galls, well i thought i'd try and help out all you fans out there by running a little Near x-mas comp and give out a free 1/100 kit to one of you lucky people. Though Free is never free is it:) I'm going to give you till the first week of February to submit one of the following, the best (and most likely funniest one) will win the prize and i'll sort out all the postage costs to boot!

Right you have to write or draw a short Gundam themed story based around the credit crunch. I just think that'd be ace, it can be a single panel drawing, a short story, a small manga or anything you wish really just don't go overboard. feel free to swap ideas or anything but my main suggestion is make it funny:)

I'll let you guys post your scans into me at a later date and we can all agree on a voting system for the winner, i.e. we can all view the work, or just leave it to me and the mods or anything you guys feel is fair. Oh and don't worry if you can't draw, the point is the quality of the scirpt, not just the artwork.

Right i'm off to toy with people lives so catch ya all soon. :D

Interesting. Can it be rude?

Amatsu - December 17, 2008 12:56 PM (GMT)
:lol: Trust you to say something like that, Nova.

Thanks for holding the comp, G. I'll have to have a go at it :)

Nova - December 17, 2008 01:02 PM (GMT)
I have plotting down already. **goes to tell amatsu on msn**

Lol, yes it can be though if it's too explicit i probably can't post it on the forum for other's to see and if it's yaoi you'll probably lose :)

You have no yaoi to fear from me ....EVER. :P Amatsu is looking for a kick up the backside. **chaises with sharp sticks**

now every one does lol

Demo - December 17, 2008 03:56 PM (GMT)
I've actually got a kinda funny idea for this. I can't draw mind ... at all.

Lux - December 17, 2008 04:11 PM (GMT)
i might help you draw it but i feel guilty jointing in when im Admin (plus ive got other art work to finish as well)

Demo - December 17, 2008 04:32 PM (GMT)
You, Moggett and I could give it a go. I'm sure we could knock up something funny in an evening.

To be fair, I already had that idea... >.>

G-man - December 21, 2008 12:40 PM (GMT)
I've been thinking and lux and the admins feel that it could be unfair to enter as they are admins but i want as many people to enter(except myself of course), so what i'll do is probably select the winner myself based on what cracks me up the most and offer a smaller 1/144 as a prize for a group vote from the forum, what do you guys think, that way we can all get a laugh from everyones work and there are more prizes up for grabs?

StarGazer - January 2, 2009 02:31 PM (GMT)
Once we've made them what do we do with them?
p.s. ignore my fairly crappy drawing skills, i will add notes to explain what is what XD

Nova - January 2, 2009 11:20 PM (GMT)
I've decided to pull out of this. I'm not good when it comes to competing with people. -_- (long story)

Chaos V2 - January 4, 2009 12:39 AM (GMT)
I Will Try My Hand At This... Photoshop I go! :D

Well I will add a e-mail to submit to and then you can simply mail it to me as an attatchment and i'll get to looking at them. Actually might as well do that now, email any entries to Gurmcorp@hotmail.com. Good luck folks.

Sorry to hear your pulling out Nova:(

Lux - January 7, 2009 03:10 PM (GMT)
me robbie and ruth are joining forces as the mighty mod (plus admin) team lol but only for fun as me and robbie really dont need any more kits at the mo lol (plus it means we dont have a deadline for it lol ).

i hearby say that Nova cant pull out as she didnt do the group build so get back to photoshop *whip whip*

G-man - February 14, 2009 10:35 AM (GMT)
Just wondering hows this going? Anyone made any progress thus far?

Chaos V2 - February 15, 2009 01:11 PM (GMT)
mine is nothing amazing. however! it is still in progress.

G-man - February 16, 2009 12:45 PM (GMT)
Well it's good to hear it's still going. If anyone feels they need the deadline extended let me know, i'd like to get as many in as i can before the prize awarding goes out. Good luck again to you all and hopefully catch some of you at Telford Expo this weekend.

G-man - March 18, 2009 10:29 PM (GMT)
Ok well i am occasionally getting dribbles of replies back for this so i am officially extending the deadline to the end of this month. After that it's over, perhaps i should emphasize the single panel drawings as that seems the most popular way to go. Once the month is up i'll post the winner on the this thread and sort out details for the prize privately. Thanks again for participating and look forward to seeing your entries. G

Chaos V2 - March 19, 2009 08:49 PM (GMT)
hah, end of the month? Ok.
I just completely overhauled my idea. It is to do with The new gundam 0081 :lol:

G-man - March 20, 2009 09:47 AM (GMT)
good luck chaos, and keep those entries coming.

Chaos V2 - March 30, 2009 03:54 PM (GMT)
just wondering, how many entries do you have
(colouring mine ATM)

G-man - March 31, 2009 09:03 AM (GMT)
Not Many :P Hopefully get a few more in but there's good odds to win the prize i'd say.

snoops619 - March 31, 2009 03:29 PM (GMT)
When is the actual end date for this competition?

G-man - April 1, 2009 07:48 AM (GMT)
technically today but i'd like as many entries as possible so if any come in during this week i'll count them.

snoops619 - April 1, 2009 07:35 PM (GMT)
Exciting stuff :D

Chaos V2 - April 5, 2009 11:14 AM (GMT)
Puling outta this one, I got Loooads of Coursework to do for Product design.

snoops619 - April 6, 2009 07:23 PM (GMT)
What is the actual prize for this competition? (I know it's a 1/100)
Or is it a surprise prize?

G-man - April 6, 2009 09:09 PM (GMT)
Mwa ha ha! It's a surprise, but i'll find something unique, lets go with that :)

snoops619 - April 7, 2009 06:52 PM (GMT)
Exciting.

G-man - April 21, 2009 12:32 PM (GMT)
Right-e-o Well i've gotten in all the entires and the such and looked over stuff. The winner will get sent a mystery 1/100 kit to their home address free of charge and hopefully like it:) I picked a simple single panel drawing that was ace and made me laugh, as i said it didn't have to be epic and well drawn so without much futher ado the winner is . . . . snoops619! Congrats dude, PM me your address and i'll start the ball rolling on your prize. As for the rest of you out there, hopefully we'll have some more entries for the next comp. It'll be held sometime after may and an MG kit will be up for grabs, so get thinking about whether your gonna partcipate or not. Take Care. G

Oh and snoops, i think you should post up your work after this, whaddya say:)
