I am Bored Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) This quest, created on an impulse, will be open for exactly 1 month. Your job is to draw a wall, be it physical, or metaphorical. The winner gets 3 gold coins, everyone else gets nothing. (this might change depending on the quality of entries) As sponsored by Mur, 10 bricks will be part of the reward pool. Distribution of the bricks will be announced at a later date. May the best wall win. Edit: One additional requirement: Every wall must have a back story. Edit 2: Make sure you sign your artwork! Sasha's initial entry will be accepted without being signed, but all other entries must be signed in order to be accepted.

Root Admin Chewett Posted February 28, 2015 Root Admin Report Posted February 28, 2015 I haz drawn a wall: phantasm, gonzalocsdf95, Pipstickz and 2 others 5
Pipstickz Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) I haz drawn a wall: If this is a metaphorical wall between the player and MD (and not a cheeky response to a weird quest), I'd say you probably win hands down. If not, I call dibs. Edited March 1, 2015 by Pipstickz
Syrian Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 it bothers me that one of the bricks in the zig zag pattern should be pink but its actually purple , other than that, its super pretty and i like it!

Aeoshattr Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Updated. Left old sketch and attached finished one. As for the story... Brick after brick, brick after brick, A tired old man had laid down. Oh old man, I see you've walled thick! What poor thing have you built around? Brick after brick, tear after tear, The old man's gaze wandered afar; His deep, laboured breath was austere. Parched lips spoke - "It is but a scar." Tear after tear, day after day, The old man fell down in defeat. "My dream I can't, will not complete, For my heart I have walled away..."

Sasha Lilias Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) So I'm no artist (even in the slightest when it comes to drawing...) but I think it gives out it's meaning. Emotions and feelings all stack upon one another, creating walls and barriers people can hide behind. These emotions and feelings, and how they are "stacked" differ from person to person. This picture currently represents my feelings due to "RL" issues, the foundations obviously not being so great but the different layers keep the support and structure of the person. The cracks are also intentional, as they represent the feelings we can express or don't even know we feel, leaving the wall less stable and more vulnerable to being penetrated. Maybe I'm thinking too deep about this competition...but here's my wall. A wall of emotions and feelings that we hide behind. http://storenow.net/my/?f=fc7a6bb6c68369ed4ae8fccecc0ce5c5 Edited March 1, 2015 by Sasha Lilias
I am Bored Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Thinking deep is simply another way to go about it, I'm not much of an artist myself, the eyes below being the best work I've ever drawn. Edit: Sasha's post just reminded me of something important: Be sure to sign your artwork! Edited March 1, 2015 by I am Bored
Assira the Black Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Within a dream an image appears. A wall so strong that nothing could harm it. Not wind, rain, ice, or fire. It held against the forces of nature. The mortar cracked and crumbled as a hole appeared beneath its foundation. Structureless the wall buckled. The strength the wall held once is no more, falling victim to the floor. Edited March 1, 2015 by Assira the Black Aeoshattr, Ary Endleg and Jubaris 3
I am Bored Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Posted March 31, 2015 The contest has now concluded. The winners are to be announced.
I am Bored Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Posted April 9, 2015 After much consideration, and asking the opinion of a secondary judge, the results are as follows: 1. Aeoshattr - 3gc and 4 bricks 2. Assira the Black - 3 bricks 3. Sasha Lilias - 2 bricks 4. Chewett - 1 brick Although Assira's backstory was distinctly ahead of the rest, as the contest was primarily about the drawing, Aeoshattr took first place for his distinct yet beautiful imagery. As both Assira's backstory and drawing were ahead of Sasha, Assira has placed second. Due to re-submitting an entry to a past contest, and failing to provide a backstory Chewett has placed last. Which leaves Sasha at third place. Congratulations to all winners, find either me (I am Bored) or Orvid at the Gazebo of Equilibrium to claim your reward! lashtal 1
Root Admin Chewett Posted April 9, 2015 Root Admin Report Posted April 9, 2015 I merely posted to remind people of my past entry for any interest it could have and therefore feel free to give my reward to anyone.
I am Bored Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Posted April 9, 2015 It was still a wall, and you already got your brick, so have fun!
