The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
It's the dawn of a new year, so you know what that means- randomly running around doing things, claiming yourself as the first person in the world to do them . Not the first person walking in the year 2011? Try being the first person walking with a duck on your head! Or a duck with a walk on your head!
So the contest...
DRAW SOMEONE BEING THE WORLD'S FIRST PERSON DOING SOMETHING IN THE NEW YEAR*!
*Year not specified
RULES:
* One entry per person, per challenge.
* A contestant cannot win more than two challenges in a row.
* Winner gets the privilege of choosing the next challenge.
* At the end of a challenge, the thread is locked and a new one is begun.
* Stick to the challenge topic; no going off on a tangent.
* All formats welcome, whether they be traditional or digital; 2D or 3D; still or animated.
Well I know I'll be before you american guys, and my computer will be accesible at new year... My only worries are the people living east of Europe ending after the Christmas Islands.
Its sorta flattened out and shifty. If the inner body guides are any indication, you might want to try tighting up your guide work just a bit, so its a little easier to follow when you get to drawing. Making sure that your guide line is round will get you a round head.
(sorry that my drawing is so bad, I need to get to work)
Your drawing seems to have a good base but still be off, feature wise.
The challenge seemed so lonely I uploaded an embarrassingly fast attempt to reach the deadline. The world's first working cyborg with... wait. What's that in the background? ssssssssssssss

Challenges never get polls up, never-ending pictures end up ending..
Maybe we need a new kind of challenge/joint-activity. I propose we try our hands at something similar to 'concept tag' . With multiple choices of what to edit/add to + that it isn't one big mishmash and more focused on single ideas - it wont die out like the never-ending picture. What do you guys say?
If the idea of the challenges are to give people inspiration when they are stuck, or encourage them to draw something new, maybe we should smush a few activities together so the mega thread keeps rolling. Line art coloring, concept tag, We could have some turn arounds for 3d people to grab, like a collab bank. Then it could essentially work like the doodle thread, and just get an updated OP with the new stuff to add to the bank, and roll on for 90 pages. This would make it so the mods don't have to make a poll, and the interest will be generated by what people want to do.
It seems like hinging topics on one forumer doesn't generate a ton of interest, but if we had a thread that was just an easy place to go for "hey, I need an idea." and there was a whole OP of say, some of Tams lines, Some unfinished concepts to run on, some comics to complete, we might have a nice thing going. "winners" could just be stand out works that get a nice spot in the new OP for oohs and ahhs.
Id be willing to write that first OP and try and get some shit from people, if that sounds like a good Idea.

The world's first Tea infused Jacuzzi.
Superior in every way to all other Cuzzi's and twice as delicious.
Oh my god, making tea cups with a little dude all lounging in it like a hot tub would be brilliant
or never fill up their cup, one or the other

I just don't know what to do...
Or just give the prize to the Mustang's TEACUZZI. Which is undoubtedly priceless.
I just haven't come up with anything that makes sense for the contest. I mean, it could be anything, but nothing comes to mind.
I can't deny that winning the AC Challenge by default is kinda my thing.
These polls never get done kamaaan.
I would like to be the first (and last) person to ride a cave cricket:
