Forum ranks (what is this wizardry)

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”    -Calvin Coolidge

Calvin would have wanted you to give me Rasta Shark Defender. Just sayin...  

“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”    -Vince Lombardi

If you reach 1500 posts, and make a rasta shark defender art in mspaint (using the pencil tool for drawing lines, not that nasty brush tool), we'll see...

Challenge accepted....although my drawing capabilities suck, so my pic may turn into a left-handed crayon attempt. But, so be it!!!!! I mean i saw your last squire pic, so mine can't be that bad    (JK)

Of course, you only gave me a number....so i'll try to resist creating a thread and just running single character posts in it to drive my number up. Ha ha ha. 

Then again...you gave a non-committal closer there, so no promises eh...? Ha ha. Bring it on.

LOL poke away and laugh away my friends. It deserves a good laugh. Looks more like my 5 year old drew it then me... I was always better at numbers then doodles. 

Thanks [[169203,users]], i'm thrilled it's even a possibility. Maybe they will time it with the release of the underwater map and the shark enemy. I'll lead the charge for FREEEEDOOOOOMMMMM (insert best Braveheart voice here)....wait, i mean CRYYYYYSTAAAAAAALLLLLSSSSSSS!!!!!!

LOL right? Or the one who got the "snarky" one. I guess titles can be used as punishment...something to keep in mind. 

Um, what is the issue with a fill tool? You want someone to take the thin pencil line and run it back and forth to fill something in? Is the goal to make it looks as bad as possible? I'm not sure why the drawings on the forum have all of these stipulations to them. Did some kind of big drawing issue go down in the past or something? I mean i already suck at drawing, but taking away the few tools i have to help is like taking def packs away from lower floors - it just sucks. Fill me in on this....(insert rim shot here)   

@Jaws_420 quote:-Snip-

I fully expect someone aiming for a pretty header to use the pencil tool and use ctrl - to make it the smallest possible for the whole thing. I want to know you're all in on this bid.

LOL, thanks. 

The fact that anyone can tell it is a shark at all, i consider a monumental victory. I expected shouts of "hey, why is that manatee have a stick?" or "that grey blob is hurting my eyes". Fine tuning a piece of art i did is like deciding what perfume to spray on my dog's lawn business.

Always loved Beast Wars! Great show! Great Characters!

Great show, loved the CGI for its time. My fave was the original series. Grew up on it. That and GI Joe. It was a reason to not get into trouble, because they both came on right after school. Put the right carrot on the stick...LOL. Go-bots ruled too, if anyone here is old enough and nerdy enough to know what that show was.
