Um, it's kinda like that.
-B-

*EDIT* I can't spell.

[hurricane]

you will die twice

ps. check how to spell "scandinavia"

[Dirty C]

Isn't it "scandinavia"?

I'm in. And someone PM Andrew Ley and see if he wants to stump up for either side.

*PS: All the proper vikings got out - only the pussies were left in Scandinavia.

[Matt Dixon]

Any more info, kids?

[Dirty C]

The due date will definitely be before 15 December, that's all that's definite right now. Be great to have your name on the list though, mate - all those Scandinavian ladies love you and your rubber skinned friend.

[Stahr]

I'm in.
how are we to teamed together? are you going to randomize competitioners or look about what level the competitioners are on, i mean there are certainly going to be uneven with all the pro's and "beginners".
just my thoughts on it, never read the thunderdome rules to much, looking them up now, if we are going to make something similar.

[sve]

Scandinavia....:cheerleader:

UK.................:cheerleader:

:P

[Badger]

how are we to teamed together? are you going to randomize competitioners or look about what level the competitioners are on, i mean there are certainly going to be uneven with all the pro's and "beginners".

Standard practise will be observed. Once the majority of names are down, you can call out an opponent. Generally try to call out someone of similar level. If they accept you are good to go.

-B-

[Stahr]

ok sounds good enough for me. thanks.
i'll get up some portfolio pieces soon on my website.
back to studies now.

[Eriboss]

why not.

[Aly Fell]

Oh crud, we need more Northerners! I'm pretty damned busy right now but I should be able to do something before the 6th, count me in for now.

[duddlebug]

sounds marvellous... is there a theme?

if you can get more wannabe vikings who aren't scared of us celts then i'm up for it.

[Dirty C]

The provisional theme was going to be "Journey."

**edit: just PMed Tuchten and Fellah.**

[duddlebug]

The provisional theme was going to be "Journey."

[Dile_]

[asoir]

Scandinavia suck!

[Kian]

^^^ asoir's gonna get "axe in head" syndrome i believe

[P E N Ricklund]

Kian, just waiting for Slash to bring his axe to the party. He really got one, he hides it in the beard.

[al-x]

ok... add me too, I'll squeeze it in somewhere in my busy schedule

[LEEBLEEB]

[Mike Dutton]

Wow, this is going to be exciting. Can't wait to see how everything pans out. Good luck to both teams!!

[dCepT]

Ok... I was called out by name over in the scandinavia thread (yeah Badgerino... you done messed up now!!!) So I'm gonna join the band of vikings and come plunder the UK! Be warned! I'm slighty scary looking! (Badger can back me up on this!)

I'm in! *throws down gauntlet*

d-C

[cartoonfox]

I'm in.
Now who wants to dance?

[Matt Dixon]

Yay, Torstein! Give Mattias a poke!

[[void]]

I'm fucking in. Bring it on.

[timpaatkins]

Im in damn it!
(even if I am a British Citizen living in New York, but grew up in Sweden.)

[Orifice]

I must assist my nordic allies! Im in!
Im at tad scared though... All these pro's. I dont wanna die young.
I shall be sure to be mushroom-berserk-high for maximum 'journey' effect.

[Badger]

Right then Fredrik, Slash says you might want to dance... and i've got my dancing shoes on, how about it.
-B-

[Summer Pudding]

Cheers for the invite Baj'. I've been dying to stick it to the rollmop munchers for ages. :) What's the subject?

Pete

[Dallas]

Limeys are going down!

I'm in!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Copenhagen_%281801%29

Payback time!

-Dallas

[duddlebug]

Blimey!! This is getting big!!

It's gonna be a hoot sending those vikings back to their chilly fjords!

[Aly Fell]

Does anyone find it ironic that we have a UKer called Asgardian? Or am I just amusing myself here? :)

[Midnight]

No, it's funny :tihi:

Pud: the topic's 'Journey'.

[Kian]

Dallas is in :S this is gonna be an almighty battle indeed

[Fellah.]

I was hoping Dallas would join in, but i wasnt sure if he was active here still. This is great!!!

[duddlebug]

Does anyone find it ironic that we have a UKer called Asgardian? Or am I just amusing myself here? :)

OooOoOh!? Maybe he's a spy??

[dCepT]

Badger: You're AWN! Even though I know you can't dance... shoes or no!

d-C

[Hiipi]

Alrighty!!!

Go Swedes, Danes, Norries, Icies and us Finns!!!!!!! Go Solskjær, Björk, Basshunter, Jesper & Jacob Binzer and GO GO GO Ice Man Räikkönen!!!

I am TOTALLY 110% in on the game but there´s a 50% chance that I won´t have time to participate. Hmm... That renders it to a 55% chance then, doesn´t it. Damn.

Well. I will try, m´kay!

[bradley]

dam i was going to put my name down, but i cant play with all you big boys. its going to be a mighty clash though

[Dirty C]

Shut it Hiipi - you're in.

Never has my blood boiled with such hatred - it's cause of your god damned horny sailors I've got this stupid orange beard, and I'm not resting till it's sorted.

Let the Battle of Dirty C's Beard commence!

Guys, can we call an end to entries tomorrow night, please. Being Wednesday/Thursday midnight GMT. That's 1am to you impatient frost midgets.

[Dirty C]

Some pairings I'd like to see: Hurricane vs Dixon; Spud vs Dallas; Me vs Tuchten (come on you slags, where is he???)

[duddlebug]

Guys, can we call an end to entries tomorrow night, please. Being Wednesday/Thursday midnight GMT. That's 1am to you impatient frost midgets.

I was gonna ask about that. Tomorrow sounds more than reasonable.

Is the deadline still the 6th? That'd be a nice round 3 weeks...

EDiT: AaRgh! I've just noticed that we're outnumbered!

[Bloodsbane]

Fuck it, about time I kickstart my activity around here again. I'm in. Unless I'm too late to the party as usual?

[Boogieman]

I want in too!
I'll volunteer as cannon fodder.

[Dirty C]

Tuchten I See You In Here!! Come To Daddy!!

[bradley]

seems to be alot more opposition joining so maybe ill change my mind and enter to get ass fucked.

isnt the topic of ''journey'' very close to one of the big cgtalk challenges not to long ago?

[squidmonk3j]

the topic is obviously in remembrance of us going over there and kicking ass back in the day...and now we'll finish what we started!

[tuchten]

tss haha, dont know about this guys. But I still really cant walk away from dirty cs challenge can I?

[fooxoo]

Are we bitching yet?

Go team vikings, wheres my horned helmet???

[Dallas]

Ohh yeah! If Pud's on I'm, totally on!!! I'd have to rise to the occation then :)

[fixx]

Journey?!

Well... the last TD I had to bow out of cos of RL work. I *will* stay in this one. Will someone invite this lonely viking lass for a dance?

:)

Timpaatkins: talkabout having mixed alliances!!

[dCepT]

fooxoo: Bitching has started as far as I'm concerned! :D *Hands you a viking helmet* Let's go get 'em! That little furry badger-creature is MINE though! :P

d-C

[hurricane]

YAAARgH !

i just sent a email to some dudes with sharp axes, i hope they get here in time!

[Summer Pudding]

Ohh yeah! If Pud's on I'm, totally on!!! I'd have to rise to the occation then :)

You're on tough guy. But if Baj has other plans for us, I'll let one of my compatriots give you a one way ticket on the pain train. :)

Pete

[Badger]

Nah start calling some people out. I'll give some more UK'ers PM's see about evening this up.

S'pud, is the brave up for it?
-B-

[hurricane]

how about a better or more restricted theme?
"journey" could be anything...

[duddlebug]

how about a better or more restricted theme?
"journey" could be anything...

"anything" is good.....

[Dallas]

Pud: "If Baj has other plans for us, blabla"????

Putting the responsibility on to the shoulders of others isn't a good sign. Especially when coming from an almighty warrior just prior to a battle...

;D

[Summer Pudding]

Pud: "If Baj has other plans for us, blabla"????

;D

Brave talk little man. I was going to be honourable, and give you a painless death, but now I think it's blow torch and pliers time. :$ I hope for your sake they do reconstructive surgery in Valhalla.

Petermada

[Dirty C]

Just invited Andrew Ley. He's from here but lives there, if I'm right. Given that we're currently outnumbered, however, I do believe he's one of ours. We'll let him decide what he is and if he's got time to assert the fact :D

**edit: Anyone else think Fellah vs Eriboss in a pencil-only contest would rock?**
**editsomemore: And how about Hiipi vs Kian?**

[bradley]

so when everything going to be finilised, topic and such, so we can get stuck in cause judging by the talent im going to need every minute of everyday

[Dirty C]

Bradley, look at the first post. In thunderdomes and the like, the first post is always updated with due dates and topics.

[bradley]

ok feeling slightly embarassed, ill go away now

[aefx]

Badger: Put me on the list for UK please, thanks!

[Eriboss]

yea alright, I challenge youuu Fellah.



but not limited to pencils only, I says anything goes - afterall, I want you to have soooome sort of fighting chance... :bashful:

Eri

edit: thats if you arent too scared

cause, you know, i can imagine you might be quite scared.

[blacky]

Wow

where's my popcorn at, sounds like blood, gore and fun.

[Fellah.]

Eri...Im scared shitless, but that has never stopped me before:)

[Ragnar_Lodbrok]

I'll be the axe carrier for the Vikings.
The UK's will never now what hit 'em!

[Flaskpost]

I wanna join!

(edit: notice the swedish pimp in the signature. :))

[DannySketch]

OH DAM! this thing got big in a hurry, erm i dont suppose you scandy watsits have a pencil pushing noob whose afraid of colour as a rule?

because to that person i say...

'JUST BRING IT'.

hugs and kisses

EDIT:actualy, scrap that, Dile?

you wanna play?

[P E N Ricklund]

This is turning out great. Now all we need is some snacks...

[Mindflaw]

Hey it's going to be fun to watch the Vikings kick some major ass

and Eriboss... Fellah's lying I can hear his evil laughter all the way to Sweden.

And as there's more Vikings than uk:ers I won't participate (and *Cough* it has not anything to do with my low drawing skills *cough* eh :bashful: )

[Dallas]

Pud, your site is down.....some kind of premonition?! LOL :)

[marioucci]

hey hey hey!

I am in:) I can stay in the back with a sniper guarding the fort:)

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!

[Ragnar_Lodbrok]

Yikes, I said axe carrier, not axe warrior! (I won't actually participate, I'll just stand behind my viking comrades cheering and handing them deadly mean weapons)

[Zaphod]

YArrhg! I'll have to do this in GIMP (yes, I'm using Linux, it's great for programming but not for painting). But I can't let my viking brothers down!

When is it due again?

[Beastmaster Fred]

One more scandinavian reporting in.
Lets crush the brits, see them driven before us, and hear the lamentation of their women.

[dannE-B]

im in...is there still room?

[cakeypigdog]

i am up for it, cheers for the PM badger

[AndrewLey]

Im getting ready to leave Amsterdam and move to Australia (new job) but how can I refuse Dirty C.

Im in.

(for the UK of course)

[Seer]

I'm so in that I'm already out but not really.:swepimp:

[Dile_]

DannySketch: Who you calling a n00b ? huh ? :P
*sharping Axe* lets fight

[lefran]

can you add me please?

[lefran]

ok, now as im added-
if theres any noobies/ noobie standard want to challenge me then let me know- check out my SB for an indicator of standard, ill go through some of the scandinavian SB's tomorrow- hopefully theres someone out there!

[RES]

Who can refuse a PM from a cute little badger?...not me so i'm in. :)

So if you fancy calling out someone who's been drawing pinatas for the last four years LETS DANCE!!!!

[sve]

What a spirit. Both teams sitting and looking at each other. Challenge each other! Show must go on. Axes must be in use.

[lefran]

i guess its because ive only heard of or seen a few peoples work, i have no idea of standards, which is why im gonna go hunting tomorrow hehe

[Kian]

Man I can't decide who to fight, so whoever wants a BEATDOWN let me know.

[Jove]

@Kian: Arrr mate, I need a good challenge, lets dance ;]

[Aly Fell]

I dunno why but my mind keeps going back to Kirk Douglas...

http://images.stampedeblue.com/images/admin/VikingsKD.jpg

Or maybe this one'll be more accurate come the day!

http://www.dvdzine.nl/itp/screens/3f7220195d239003.jpg

[Kian]

Yessir! I'm certainly up for that Jove ol' buddy :yayca: Put us down badgerman


Edit2: Aly, Is it the film where kirk runs along the oars? He really did that stunt, looked pretty cool!

[Aly Fell]

I watched it again recently, and realised they don't make 'em like that anymore... thank goodness!

Oooodin! Oooooooodin!

Who fancies a little dance across the rainbow bridge into Valhalla then..? ;)

[young paddy1]

Damn me and my tardy spotting of things, where the buggery did this come from?

I'm in if there's room.

[sve]

ahahahah, you better call first the nice ones or you will be put against some Arnold Schwarzenegger.. ;).
Perre, golden hair angel, who do you want to fight? Make them regret they are not Scandinavian, :).

[fooxoo]

asgardian - wanna come out and play??? :teeth: heheheheheheheheh

[Aly Fell]

Edit2: Aly, Is it the film where kirk runs along the oars? He really did that stunt, looked pretty cool!
That's the one! Actually the movie is fun, but I heard Kirk Douglas refused to wear or grow a beard because it would hide his face.

[sve]

Bravo, Edite, you are a warrior!
I personally would love to see battle of AndrewLey with Russel Tassel. They both have a love for crazily fast fearless painting (or drawing).

Hurri, do you want to go for Matt Dixon throat :)? You have a lot in common too, sense of humour for one...

[Slash]

Ok... i cant decide!! Its like a smörgåsbord filled with little british treats, ready for the picking. Who wants to cross blades with me?

[hurricane]

matt dixon, are you ready to feel the brutal force of a viking axeblade seperating your head from the shoulders?

[Flaskpost]

Hey, yAdam, wanna do some friendly sparring? :)

[Omeagasama]

Oh I'm in. Viking for me!

[Mike Dutton]

**gets up to make popcorn then settles in for the show**

[Matt Dixon]

matt dixon, are you ready to feel the brutal force of a viking axeblade seperating your head from the shoulders?Yes.

So, what's the topic? Journey?

Is that final? All this talk of vikings and beards has got me in the mood to paint a viking. Maybe with a beard...

[hurricane]

matt, i don't really know how badger will guide us in this battle but let's wait a while and take the opertunity to sharpen your filthy english blade because me and haruld, skallklyvaren is out for a dance

[Matt Dixon]

Don't try and psyche me out with your Nordic gobbledigook. Putting it italics doesn't make it any more mysterious or intimidating, either. I suggest you spend the wait gently training your anus or you might feel a little tickle when I shove your longship up your bum.

[sve]

Wow, you both need to wash your tongues twice. >:D I presume haruld, skallklyvaren is very, very bad thing. :) Please continue.

hahahahaha!!

Nice sketch Matt! Is that your entry ready for colouring?

[fooxoo]

Hahahah, rolling on the floor laughing.

Hurri show him his place!!! VIKINGS will kick the british asses BAD! Be prepared.

ASGARDIAN, I have my dancing shoes on!

[yAdam]

Yes, flaskpost, I don't do friendly though, especially with vikings........

[hurricane]

hehehe

[Dirty C]

Ok, how would people feel about changing the theme to 'invasion and repulsion'?

gives everyone a chance to expand a lot - including celts vs vikings bloodfest :P

[Badger]

Oh yeah, I'd like to point out this is really Dirty_c's thunderdome as it came together out of a need to send him off 'all proper like' cause he's leaving the UK far too soon for less rainy climes. So i'm just kinda the secretary here, complete with pencil skirt.

-B-

[sve]

Hurri, I hope you drawing Matt Dixon with something even bigger sticking out of the same place. No one should take haruld, skallklyvaren written in italics carelessly!!!!

[Dirty C]

-B-

Meh - no matter, we're all just here for a fight, aren't we? Now how do people feel about the change?

[[void]]

asgardian - wanna come out and play??? :teeth: heheheheheheheheh


Sure why not.... dont think that i won't fight dirty though.

[Matt Dixon]

'Invasion and repulsion' sounds good to me. Might be tricky to show both aspects in the one image, but that's part of the fun, eh? I like how 'repulsion' could be taken in two ways. Nice.

'Invasion OR replusion'? 'Invasion / repulsion'?

Ah, who cares. We'll never draw anything if we debate the topic endlessly. Whatever Dirty_C says is fine with me.

[Dirty C]

If you need judges I'd be happy to lend a hand seeing as how I can't compete..or if this is going to be a public poll nevermind :bashful:

Dunno man, without the caps you just don't seem like such a big deal..

hehe - help welcomed, dude.

Matt - cool, that's all we need. Can't be arsed with the usual two days of figuring it out. This is all about having fun, so do whatever will ROCK

Guys, get challenging if you haven't already. Go dig up everyone's sketchbooks and take a look.

[Bendragon]

Holy......!!!! Sign my ass up for this (please). :)

[Jove]

"invasion and repulsion" works great for me, should give some intense pieces.

Jon: I'll do my best to give ya a match mate ;]

[Slash]

Ok i think i've found a suitable victim! CARTOONFOX! Consider your ass CALLED OUT! Its time for you to taste some cold steel!

I'd also like to duke it out with KOSHIME, so i guess whoever of you guys answers my call first has a match.

[cartoonfox]

Your're on Slash! Perpare to be... you know, hurt and stuff.

[squidmonk3j]

I have an inkling this might be stupid of me, but...LEEBLEEB - i see you down there! Get up here and fight!:)

[LEEBLEEB]

I guess I can not run away, when somebody throws down the gauntlet. Its on squidmonk3j! >:|

[Slash]

*cue eye of the tiger*


LETS RUMBLE FOXXYBOY!

[guggemmaneuver]

YUK vs Scandinaive-ia?

pshaw.....

[Midnight]

For those of us who have just woken up... the topic's now 'Invasion and Repulsion?'

Whoever still needs an opponent, I'm waiting.

Mid.

[fooxoo]

asgardian is the uncorruptable captain rugged vs. Fooxoo only eats the yellow french fancies


Excuise me??? I dont eat no french fancies! I eat nice, hearty, meaty foods!!! You brits who drink tea with their pinky sticking out!

[Aly Fell]

The change in topic is a little frustrating as I spent ages roughing out ideas for 'Journey', but I'm an adult, I can rise above it... Maturity comes with how you deal with these things... I mean sulking wouldn't help things at all... How about a dual topic... a choice... 'Invasion and Repulsion' or 'Journey'?

[mrdigs]

OK put me down for this before I wake up enough to see sense !

[Dirty C]

Done. Either one should be fine. Now I just need the lovely miss badger to update the first post again - sorry badge :D

[Boogieman]

I'm calling out Midnight! I want a shot at ya.

[Kian]

Done. Either one should be fine. Now I just need the lovely miss badger to update the first post again - sorry badge :D

Thankgod too. I'm doing the journey. Cheers DC

[Slash]

Ok so this is how it works eh? Ok then. i'd like to have "pinata", "space cowboys from hell" and "potatoes" added as themes as well. ;)

[Midnight]

*nods at Boogieman*

Accepted.

[al-x]

hmmm...

I need someone to battle

[Aly Fell]

Ok so this is how it works eh? Ok then. i'd like to have "pinata", "space cowboys from hell" and "potatoes" added as themes as well. ;)
Ooooh!! Get her... Saucer of milk at table five... ;)

[Lunch]

Can't miss this one, sign me up for the battle too!
Computer-problems won't stop me, this is too much fun!

[Andorz]

För kung och fosterland!

Sign me up for teh v1k1ngs.

[Beelow]

This is pimp tight! Who ever thought of this deserves his tip kissed! Who wants to go up against the United States bitches?

I can't wait to see what the turnout will be here! XD

[P E N Ricklund]

I'm open for a challenge.

If I can remember where I left that damned old axe of mine.

[kapturowski]

I want in. Anyone up for some action?

[duddlebug]

Themes/Topics are: 'Journey' or 'invasion and repulsion' - please agree with your dancing partner which topic you are choosing to fight with.



Awwww... See what you've done now?? Now i want to do both of them...

Anyone you scaredy-cat vikings wanna be duddlebugged? Or are y'all too busy trying to get that longboat out of hurricane?

>:{

.

[Dirty C]

Guys you've got till midnight tonight to sort out entries and challenges.

Tuchten, let me know if you have any preference on either theme.

I'll start sorting out jduges too.

[Badger]

Gosh, can you kids stop standing either side of the school hall looking nervously at the otherside wondering who you should ask to dance and actually do it.
Where is your thirst for blood??
Till midnight guys, not midnight, actual midnight, then it's cut off time.

I'm going to life drawing, when i get back i expect death and shit.
-B-

[P E N Ricklund]

Duddlebug I'm calling you out, you look cute enough, lets dance.

i cant find anyone the same standard as me, can anyone suggest anyone?

[squidmonk3j]

that is to be expected, since vikings transcend all standards. just pick a name, post a challenge, and get your ass kicked:)

[Jove]

@Kian: I guess we're going with the journey theme then since I haven't started yet *starts pondering*

[duddlebug]

Duddlebug I'm calling you out, you look cute enough, lets dance.

I don't dance, i'm too fat.

I'm fat because i eat vikings.




and




Erm... I've actually sent a pm to al-x asking if he fancies getting his longboat bounced back into the North Sea. But i sent it quite a while after you posted your challenge... I hadn't seen you tucked away at the bottom of the last page. I don't know what the etiquette is in such a situation...? I was gonna ask RasselTassel but he so needs to get it on with Andrew Ley, they're a perfect match... get it together 'fast-painting-crazy-mark' boys!

It's kinda like dating when your twelve, innit?

EdiT: I'd also like to say that i'm not actually allowed to dance anymore because i'm a dad. I'm only allowed to dance (very badly) at family weddings or when my daughter has her friends round and can be suitably humiliated.

[bradley]

thank fuck its still journey as an option, spent until 4am doing my thumbs last night.

im pretty below average anyone fancy getting dirty with me, or just drawing its up to you

[P E N Ricklund]

That's ok duddlebug. You take on al-x. You two are a much better match.
And maybe I'll come alive out of this one...

So any one else want to sit down and draw with me? Pretty please?

[dCepT]

Pencilator: Dude... it's no 'pretty please' in the dome! Step up and grab someone... or beat them into submission with your shinai! ;)

d-C

[fixx]

Bradley, you are not below average.

Consider yourself challenged (lest someone else has gotten there before me)

[sve]

Bradley, who said you are below average. beat him up... You above the average. Perre, do you want to fight bradley? He is more knowledgeable in how to use colors, in my opinion, your lines are much more fluent than his, you can enrich each other.

[fixx]

dCept, what do you expect from a man named Mr. Hugs?

I'd challenge him myself if it wouldn't be considered civil war.

[bradley]

fixx thank you very much kind sir/madame and i accept (notice i dont do trash talk to well)

edit just incase ur a girl, if you are my bad

[duddlebug]

That's ok duddlebug. You take on al-x. You two are a much better match.
And maybe I'll come alive out of this one...

So any one else want to sit down and draw with me? Pretty please?

I've not heard anything back yet... al-x must be a busy boy... and he's not getting easily distracted from proper work like me! I'll let you knwo if i don't hear anything.

[sve]

Duddlebug, your art is objectively beautiful. I loved your sketch book and web site from the first sight :O . Really something special. The illustrations with musicians, creepy and funny in the same time, was it published? oh, such a beauty.
Interesting info about you and your family :). Fun read :).

[Flaskpost]

Ah, the scandinavians are rallying up!

okey adam, we´ll skip the gloves, and go get some steel instead. your loss, you tea drinking... englishman!

[dCepT]

fixx: Yeah... I should know better... I'm just trying to get the bloodlust out in him! I know it's in there... hehe...

d-C

[Ead]

I'm up for a fight, if any of you reindeer eating scandi's wanna take me on:}

[Midnight]

Boogieman - I'd prefer to take 'Journey' as the topic. You okay with that?

Mid.

[fixx]

bradley: Then it's on :needle:

~checks~ yep, still a woman. hehe.

[yAdam]

:sony: .....seems like people are going for journey at the moment. You ok with invasion/repulsion instead, :uzi: flaskpost?:uzi2:

[Flaskpost]

yAdam, yeah man, that sounds good. but it doesn´t have to involve fat english dudes and vikings, right?

[cakeypigdog]

I have no idea who to fight, i don't have a portfolio proper but please feel free to browse my sketchbook and then offer me some fisticuffs if you see fit!

[Mindflaw]

Ok I'm having a hard time staying out of this since I got some ideas about the topics... have no idea how to realize them, but that's just a minor issue...so anyway....

lefran If you're to scared to fight any on the list you might consider picking a fight against me even if I'm not on the list, Although it might be a to easy victory for eh you anyway check my sb-link in my sig.

[Hiipi]

SHIRT!!!*

I have been totally working like a proper employee and have NOT been browsing around too much and I have totally neglegted this one! Now I am un-paired... Shoot!!!*

Well here goes a cry out:

ONE REINDEER EATING, HORN-HEADED, LONG-and red-BEARDED SMELLY BASTARD LOOKING FOR AN ASS**!!!!


(*didn´t wanna curse)
(**to kick)


Oh yeah, my server crashed and burned a while ago which basically rotted my Sketchbook so you will find no help from there.

I will help you out this much:

- there was a time when my SB had five stars. (if only for few minutes but STILL)
AND

[Kian]

Jove - Yeah man, lets do journey. Coz I've got thumbs and rough block-ins already

[Beastmaster Fred]

I don´t really have a portfolio either but I´ve got some work posted in this (swedish) forum thread: http://illu.ormstudios.com/viewtopic.php?t=66
Have a look and if you feel like you´d want to challenge me give me a shout.

[Ead]

@ Hiipi> wanna dance, I'm Reeeaaal pretty,

check my sb

[Seer]

Lefran, aefx, youngpaddy1, RES. Who wants some action? First come first served! >:D

[Hiipi]

EAD - I´ll dance with you but you will have to follow! ;-)

Edit: Damn! If we gonna be walzing together we might as well wear the same dancing shoes! Do you mind sending me that fine new architectural slum brush of yours? :D

[Ead]

Hiipi> done, prepare your armies,, and by the way Fjords are overrated:wink:

Edit: Sending arms to enemies is definately bad tactics, you can only use it if you promise to use it badly.
You happy with going for the 'invasion and repulsion' topic?

[cakeypigdog]

beastmaster fred
yeah, great stuf in your blog i say its a duel sir!
i know we shouldnt be ass patting in a tdome but i Love this one mate:

[Nordstrand, T]

Soo... yesterday my fellow berserker Al-x summoned me to inflict pain among you girls of the not-so-North. Most of your names and faces are new to me though, and Matt's already severing heads I see. Anybody care to take on an old stranger? Of if anybody sees a good match, throw them an axe.

[aefx]

Lefran, aefx, youngpaddy1, RES. Who wants some action? First come first served! >:D
Hey Seer, if you've not found someone yet I'll accept that challenge. If so just post back which theme you prefer, I'm fine either way.

[al-x]

Hey Torstein, maybe you should take the boat over to the UK and battle me... just kidding :)

I still need someone to battle and I don't have any clue who most of you guys are...

Someone give me a challenge, I wont bite... I won't have much time to put into this so my entry will probably look like shit anyway :)

[Badger]

I still need someone to battle and I don't have any clue who most of you guys are...

Someone give me a challenge, I wont bite...

Up the thread duddlebug has challanged you.

[duddlebug]

Someone give me a challenge, I wont bite...


Check your pm's... i sent you a polite offer at lunchtime.

I've been grinding my axe all afternoon.

:zzz:

[Stahr]

damn! been away just a little time and then all this..
ok, so is there anybody left there for a battle?
my webpage is shit, so i'll do a fast album for showing now.
ok, this was what i came up with: http://www.wilwarin.se/album/
kind of bad quality though (shitty Jalbum compression..)

[al-x]

Whoops... sorry!

I must be blind.... I accept... wanna do Journey?

[cakeypigdog]

beastmaster fred: you ok with journey? i dont mind either way tbh.

[dannE-B]

Hey Orifice fancy taking me on? i fancy taking you on....were same age, should be a good challenge. BeeeeeP!

[fooxoo]

asgardian - which topic are we going for?? I d like journey :teeth:

*sharpens high heels, horns and practices axe moves*

[DannySketch]

yo dile u mofo, can we do journey?PWERTY PWEASE?!?

oh and erm vikings smell of toilet paper...in toilets...with erm...toilet stuff on them...

ha

never been to good at this trash talk melarky

[squidmonk3j]

LEEBLEEB - is "journey" ok with you? i kinda started thinking up possible compositions before they suggested the topic change...

[Beastmaster Fred]

cakeypigdog> Great! A duel it is!
I´m fine with the theme "journey".
Thanks for the compliment btw, I have to admit I liked looking through your stuff as well.

[LEEBLEEB]

squidmonk3j yeh journey is good for me too.

[Fellah.]

haha. this thread has gone nuts!
So its Eri and me - super! Good luck, mate!
Im already working on some ideas for the journey thing.

[OLSEN]

Koshime, looks like you don't have a partner yet, wanna fight?

[Andorz]

Anyone wanna dance? Link to sketchbook in sig..

Brrrrrrring it!

[Bloodsbane]

My brain hurts trying to figure out if anyone's left unpaired..
so anyone wanna step up and have this dance?

[Quicksilver]

I'm in, ladies :) Bloodsbane, wanna dance? Just don't step on my toes (I have stiletto-heeled boots. You've been warned...)

How about 'Journey' (if you accept)?

Btw, here's a messege from lefran:
Andorz, wanna battle? Here's my sketchbook (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=59806&highlight=lefran).

[Andorz]

Why are you posting her message, Quicksilver? ^^

I'm up for the challenge, LeFran! I vote for "Journey".

[RasselTassel]

Sve, Duddlebug ; ) you looked tempting on that list Duddlebug! But It would be my pleasure to have a go on AndrewLey.... shall we?

as for themes.. i could go for either really, no problem... although 'invasion and repulsion' has a certain cling to it.

[duddlebug]

Whoops... sorry!

I must be blind.... I accept... wanna do Journey?

Okey Dokey.

Blind, eh?

I think i have an advantage...

Or maybe if you move your eeyepatch to the other eye, you'll find that you're not actually blind, but a rather dimwitted and brutish viking.

:wink:

'Journey' is fine by me.

[Quicksilver]

Why are you posting her message, Quicksilver? ^^

I'm up for the challenge, LeFran! I vote for "Journey".
'Cause her dad lost the charger for his laptop so she doesn't have acess to the internet atm.

....We know eachother from college un'all that :P

[[void]]

Ok ladies pick, yeah sure journey is fine with me.

Who's heard of scandinavia anyway?!

[sve]

Wow. My wishes come true. it might be my lucky week, of course it needs Andrew Ley approval.
But, boy oh boy, what a display of sweet artwork it will be in December.
But so many people are not paired yet. I want to see as many art pieces as possible. Poshspice is not taken yet :O . I wish he was challenged soon. It would be not the same art celebration without him.

[duddlebug]

you looked tempting on that list Duddlebug! But It would be my pleasure to have a go on AndrewLey.... shall we?



Haha! I spent twenty minutes trying to decide which of you to pm... You or al-x!

But i really think that you and Andrew Ley really need to slug it out. Hopefully he'll pop by and accept your challenge!

:xpld:

This is gonna be a BaLL!

[duddlebug]

Poshspice is not taken yet :O . I wish he was challenged soon. It would be not the same art celebration without him.

Poshspice vs Nordstrand,T....?

Both of 'em can knock out some very tasty stuff?

EDiT: Maybe... Anyone who hasn't got their arse in gear by midnight gets paired up by Badger? We've got almost even numbers of peeps who say they want to join in. Whaddya reckon?


.

[Bloodsbane]

Quicksilver, you're on!
Journey sounds good to me.

oh yea, trash talk..
my meatballs > your banh bao >:D

[sve]

You know, I think it will help tremendesly if the leader of this national movement put links to sketch books and websites near the names of participants in the list. This what stops people, they need to have more information and they don't have as much time as it needs to go searching for links in this thread.

It is just a suggestion with best intentions (well, they have pure selfish base, to see more artwork for my own pleasure).

[sve]

Duddlebug. you actually are a great match to fight him, but yeah, I know, you can't close your eyes to the fact you are from the same land.
Man I wish I had some grandma born in England or Sweden. I wish I could fight you all simultaneously ( with any means, ehehehe).

[Eriboss]

hello.

ok Fellah, Journey it is.

And so it begins.

but first...

Eri

edit: oh, you smell.

[Quicksilver]

Quicksilver, you're on!
Journey sounds good to me.

oh yea, trash talk..
my meatballs > your banh bao >:D
Right on :needle:

Hahahaha! You have the rest of the UK crew to convince there, baney. :P

[AndrewLey]

RasselTassel - Tuchten (Jakob) has been showing me your work - nice stuff man - I accept your challenge.:ninja++:

[young paddy1]

daafugginpieceoshitwankballsarsecakeybum

[Midnight]

Just got PM confirmation from Boogieman - we're taking 'Journey' as the topic.

[Dallas]

Yeah, Pudding and I do 'Journey' as well.

[al-x]

Sorry Young Paddy I've already accepted a challenge from Duddlebug...

You can try your luck with my Funcom co-worker Nordstrand T don't think he has an opponent yet.

[Seer]

aefx, you're on! The viking way is to always go with the one subject that has longboat potential so let's do "Journey".

[RasselTassel]

AndrewLey: Cool! jakob and I checked out your work years ago btw ;)

Are you down with 'invasion and repulsion' as a theme or do you want to go with 'journey'? I feel the first could offer some nice dynamic work but im cool with the latter as well!

And somebody sign Sve up!? 'Sverige' = Sweden in swedish.. he'll fit nice with the vikings!

[Fellah.]

Eri - haha, so lame! :)
Journey it is then - sweet!

[young paddy1]

Yeah I just found out after page 4 and 5 turned up all the pages in this thread have gone crazy on my machine for some reason, the times have all gone apeshit, and when I pick last post from the front page I end up in page 3 again.

So I'll go for your co-worker Nordstrand T, it appears I'll get equally crushed but there you go.
