Telltale Games

nikasaur · 02/04/2010, 05:03 pm

Maybe you're no great shakes with words, but you want a chance at Fame! Glory! Fortune!

All you artists are in for a treat. We know there are wildly creative people among our fans, and this is the time that you can show off every brushstroke, sketch and splatter: a weekly art contest. From this Thursday 'til next, you have an assignment:

Make a Telltale-themed valentine card!

You can draw it, photoshop it, whatever strikes your fancy! Make it good, so we can send them to our friends (or around the office here, o0o0o0oh.)

This contest will be evolving as we get a feel for the timing and think of a cute title, but don't hold back. I wanna see some totally awesome art, I know you guys have it in you.

For those about to Draw, we salute you!

Prizes have yet to be determined due to time restraints and my sanity, but heck. Let's give this a shot.

Here's something I cooked up after a half hour, and going through all the Sam and Max Speech Files to find the best quote:

Marty · 02/04/2010, 06:26 pm

are there particular size guidelines?

Giant Tope · 02/04/2010, 07:10 pm

Too lazy/busy to go out to walgreens this year?

nikasaur · 02/04/2010, 07:57 pm

Marty: Nope.

Tope: Yes.

Secret Fawful · 02/04/2010, 08:38 pm

Can you submit multiple entries?

Avistew · 02/04/2010, 08:44 pm

Does it have to be good art? :P
I might try something but it would have to be vectors, so not awe inducing...
But what the heck, I've never dared take part in a context like that before so I'll give it a try. Just because I probably won't win doesn't mean I can't have fun

EDIT: since this was my first post in this thread, I've decided to add my contributions here, so people can see them all at once.
Don't be surprised to see me submit them for the first time in later posts :P

I smell another photo shoot! Just ... don't dress Majus and Suro as Cupid.

Damn straight! Aphrodite would be much better.

LordBritish · 02/04/2010, 10:13 pm

Where do we send our entries?

Also, great job on "For those about to draw, we salute you"! AC/DC ROCKS!

Also, good luck brushers and my fellow pixel-pushers!

Suro has long hair, but not that long. Besides, when I think Valentine's Day, I think Romeo and Juliet, so I'm expecting plenty of corpses! I mean, doublets!

You know what would be a cool prize? A credit in a game:

Valentine's Day Valentines Provided by

Maxilyah
Avistew
Irishmile
GinnyN
and
TesterNick

What the ... ? No fair! Telltale employees can't enter the contest!

I don't disagree with that

Avistew · 02/05/2010, 12:42 am

I made one! And now I read multiple entries are allowed so I might make more.

This first one is the type that you open. Not sure where to send it so I'm posting it here:

I left room on the inside-left page to write a personalized message, not sure if I was supposed to or not.

I love you, Telltale!

Hassat Hunter · 02/05/2010, 01:51 am

And here I was thinking this would be our extremly disturbingly creepy Nikisaur appreciation thread...

(And darn it, now I hate it I suck at art...)

That's actually really cute.

I was already working on a Monkey Island-themed Valentine's Day picture for the fanart thread for a while now, but would it count to enter it here?

As someone totally unqualified to answer that question, I say: "Sure!"
