IKE REPRESENTIN' - DeviantArt/TAC contest
Ike says, 'REPRESENT!'
Ike, being the very definition of deviant, says his presence must be known on DeviantArt. He is new there but among friends but still he needs his identity known - his legend maintained! So he brings to you another joint venture between DA and TAC. I was going to say the first, but it's not like we haven't pimped the shit out of TAC here anyway =D
Your mission:
Create a deviant ID (NO wider than 350 pxl) and 50x50 deviant ICON for poor ole Ike!
What will we give you:
Respect! No I'm kidding, we'll give you MONIES and FEATURES! Whee!
Specifics:
The event will be co-hosted here as well as DeviantArt. Please turn in a deviant ID/ICON you think Ike would be worthy of. Do you 3D? kewl! Do you doll? Sexy! Does it have to have a crayon in it? Not necessarily but Ike is VAIN although he will except boobies and nekkedness.
We will do the judging, via a poll, on TAC - submissions will be posted in our journal here and a specific thread at home base. A complete submission will consist of both items: icon and ID.
Again it does not have to be literal, it does not have to be 3D (all mediums welcomed!) and we do not have to see a really pissed off Red Crayon. Use your imagination and create something that is representative of the caring, mature and downright dirty atmosphere that is TAC!
Oh the reward, yeah hehe -
$10 gift certificate to VAMP3D store or $10 gift certificate to the internet store of your choice
3 month subscription to Deviant Art
Supporter status (if you do not have it already) at TAC.COM!
Feature in vexiphne's journal
Feature in adiene's journal
Feature in eve-e's journal
Feature in Rozbeans' journal (right, i know - big whoop hehe)
TURN IN DEADLINE IS MAY 31st!
Anyone wishing to donate additional MONIES or items to the cause, feel free to PM us here! Thanks all!!
:thanks

Is it acceptable to use the current Ike icon within a new image? If so is there one available to use?

There isn't a clean copy of him anywhere to be honest. What I have is the same, low resolution crayon that a friend made back in 2003. So feel free to redraw him. =)

Gah! I hate it when I can see an idea in my head clearly as to what I think TAC's ID should look like but the likelihood of me actually being able to pull it off is slim to nil.
I guess like Tempy I will try my hardest. Hopefully mine wont suck too badly. haha

Meh, its hard drawing Ike.
Took me ages to do that pic of him with the robin.. and now hubby thinks I am really weird. I dunno if i can draw another Ike picture without him calling in the authorities.

In 2003 I was in a guild called Triadica on Everquest's Solusek Ro server. They were redoing the message board and asked if I wanted an art section since I practiced on a lot of the guild members. I said sure why not and he named it something plain. So I said, 'You should name it something ridiculous like...I dont know...The Angry Crayon.'
Later that year I took the name and made it my own and built this site around my commissions. I stopped doing commissions but I kept the board open with Vex's help. During this time I wanted to give the Angry Crayon a persona. So I went literal and made an angry red crayon. I decided - such an angry little crayon - he needs a name.
I dub thee...IKE.
Cuz you know, Ike Turner was angry... :teehee He's been the site's mascot ever since =)
