UK vs. Scandinavia Thunderdome!! rarrgg! (really, REALLY big DL)

[Badger]

Hello blood thirsty thunderdome watchers, As Dirty_C is leaving our lovely little island, we thought we'd send him out with a bang.

The combatants as usual had to choose a dancing partner and then amongst their pairing choose which theme. The options were:
-Journey
-Invasion and repulsion

Judges: (so far)
Daryl Mandryk
Howard Lyon
Mike C

I don't think you want to read much more so heres the art:
Names will be posted at the head of each round. But the name could correspond to A OR B, i tried to shuffle which side was A to allow more neutral judging. I hope thats fairly clearly described.

[4rt-r41d]

i got owned 0_o

[hurricane]

GREAT STuff !!

nice picture matt dixon! i won't give you the excuses why mine looks the way it does ;)
thanks for the battle and let the best man win :D

The rest of you who turned in a pic.. HELL YEA !! GOOD JOB!

[Slash]

Orly? There's a LOT of pussouts here guys! Hopefully UK had more pussouts than scandinavia! ;) Lots of kickass art tho, congrats guys!

Yay! Winning by default! Yay! :(

[Ostrander]

Awesome job fella's. Erik the hungry...ahahah! I love it! The border treatment is so great!

[se7en_]

Awesome job everyone - these are great. Aly's is my favorite with the "GOOD HEAD" tires, LMAO - its pure genius.

[asoir]

Can't see Zaphods? Did he enter?
DID I WIN BY DEFAULT?
=]!

[cakeypigdog]

great stuff guys. mr duddle is the clear winner for me: excellent piece.

BADGER: I noticed a few of the names are the wrong way around: you might want to get that sorted!

hurri: i love yours: great stuff!

lefran: great striking image: i have been loving silohettes lately too. great stuff :)

[fooxoo]

Wooohoo, some great entries!!!! And a big kick to those who didnt submit anything!!

Nice atmoshpere in yours [void]! Good luck and break a leg and you still drink tea with pinky sticking out :teeth:

Cheers all!!!!

[Nordstrand, T]

Posh, I'm pretty sure being that good constitutes cheating. You wins! Well, it was a good exercise at least - got to smear some charcoal and everythin'.

Overall though, there's no question in my mind who owned the seas today - Duddlebug, I take my anachronistic horned helmet off for you, sir. Well solved.

[Summer Pudding]

Nordstrand, don't write your obituary so soon. I think your tussle with Aly will be a closer run thing than you might think.

Dallas: Rasmus mate, I think you've pounded my Limey ass into the dust fairly comprehensively there my boy. <sniffs>

Pete

EDIT: DC, Dixon and Eriboss _\m/. Kickass work lads.

EDIT II: m@, once we've collected our dead, and patched up the wounded, you can rally the Frenchies for the next fight! :)

[sve]

Royal treat, really, I can't stop smiling. :teeth: . A lot of entries with a wonderful humor :). Such a great positive boost. Thank you guys and girls. More events like this and no one will be left unhappy :).

[Midnight]

Congrats to everyone who submitted! Some great pics here!

Mid.

edit: a number of pics aren't showing up for me, though.

[[void]]

Great turnout theres some amazing entries, good luck to everyone. DC i think that might be one of your best, awesome. Thanks to badger for putting in all the hard work of organising etc.

Thanks fooxoo, nice entry. I can't believe how simliar our compositions were. I would if i drank tea, I feel so left out.

[Badger]

edit: a number of pics aren't showing up for me, though.

I think it's just there are a lot of no shows, i could go through and label them if you want.

BADGER: I noticed a few of the names are the wrong way around: you might want to get that sorted!

Not mixed up, read the top. They are randomised to promote neutrality. Oh well i thought it was a good idea.

-B-

[dCepT]

Cool beans ya'll! Congrats to all who submitted! Like everyone has said, lots and lots of killer entries!

d-C

[sve]

Man, Dudlebug had a great fun at your expense, dear vikings... that book reader in stripy pants with body like a sofa is hilarious. Thank you, dudlebug, specially, it is awesome! Oh god, just noticed a hunting scene on the borders, they were lucky to catch a cow! ahahahahhahahahaha.

[cakeypigdog]

ah thats cool then mate, thanks for sorting all this out mate, it must have been a fair old pile or work!

[asoir]

I just wanna say...regardless of country...Nordstrand that is absolutely stunning

[sve]

I wish to know this Wookey Hole place. I trust this girl, we all need to pack and move there.

[marioucci]

Is there anyone else without an opponent?? I dont wanna win by W.O. :)

cheers

Mario

[Aly Fell]

Nordstrand, don't write your obituary so soon. I think your tussle with Aly will be a closer run thing than you might think.

I couldn't agree more! I love yours Torstein. It's incredibly dynamic and beautifully done. Mine is predictable, but there is a reason for this...

Wookey Hole's in Somerset, Sve. Near Cheddar where the cheese comes from!

[sve]

Hurri, I love your entry, your characters are crazy fruitcakes, but they are charming. So happy to see the first snow, running brain free around hills. I swear it says Scandinavia to me... :D... hehehe. ok, details say this to me, the mountain and caves and snow and wild mood :).

[sve]

<Wookey Hole's in Somerset, Sve. Near Cheddar where the cheese comes from!>

Well, it settled it then, girls like this and plenty of cheese should be heaven for most people :). Wookey Hole is the place to be!

[Andorz]

My pic won't show up

Awsome job, everyone!

[davi]

fantastic work everyone!

[redehlert]

remind me to never battle you guys.
hot damn!
that was fun to pour through.
cheers!
d

[nicolas]

thats some sweet ass work here!!! too many good ones... I have to keep looking before I find favs...

but right of the bat...

@Eri - dood really cool, but a tad too much AW in there for my taste. wheres your mark? I totally forgot to get back to you about the judging bit sorry....

@ Bradley - Nice concept man.... !?

[P E N Ricklund]

Great work everyone. This was a fun ride I must say :D Glad to see the outcome.
Thanks to you badger for organising everything :)

Dc, Duddlebug, Nordstrand... damn this was a wonderful round of td entries. Such a treat.

Hugs everyone!

[sve]

Simon, your entry has a sweet mild smile in it. overall it gives me some kind of soft feeling,a good illustration for children book, who would've thought, eh? You would be kicking and screaming year ago if I said this to you.

I feel a soft caring loving feeling to those two characters from you, dolphin and its obnoxious friend. Softness comes form the gentle lighting from the beneath mostly and the soft careful painting. I love it... Lets attack children book publishing :)! greenish title is a bit too much though, in my opinion.

Eriboss... cool graphics and funny to watch how he waited till he dies... The lines work and speed of the drawings and silhouettes are great! The great part of the fun is these figures, gorgeous comic style." Death hurts" page is my favorite. such a freedom in expressing yourself.

[duddlebug]

WhoaaoA. AaaARgh. Too Much visual information. And a great turn out..?

This was also the first time in three TD's that my opponent turned up... Cheers al-x! And a clever interpretation... cool idea and nice graphics. I'm afraid i went all a bit obvious and topical with the vikings'n'all. I couldn't resist poking fun at you marauding folk with your horned helmets, hairy faces and culinary enthusiasm. :P

i wouldn't want to split Matt and Hurricane or Res and Failoniir or Posh'n'Nordstrand or a few others actually...

The ones that tickled my fancy the most were cakeypigdog (just loved the faces and in particular the fella who looks like he should be captain of a space city with his swanky jacket and his grey streaks), lunch (though i'd love to see vikings against riot police rather than these two unsuspecting bobbies... in real life), fooxoo (just like it, that's all) and dallas (great idea and nicely visualised)

Come on UK!!!! :needle:

[al-x]

Hey dudd... it doesn't matter how obvious your interpretation was. You still whooped my ass big time :).

Sorry I couldn't give you a decent fight, but you know the whole thing with the days having only 24 hours and so on... :)

By the way... Your entry is my favorite

[DannySketch]

very very cool guys, welldone to all.

[trev]

Nice one guys,

I really like Dallas...s(?) Olsens and those big marshmallowy clouds in mr Dixons peice!

[Mindflaw]

So many great pieces in one thread I'm all dizzy now :xpld:

[blog]

ewwww these beans are cold... haha nah, seriously though these entries are awesome, really like eriboss, daryl and poshspice's :D and yeah the clouds in matt dixon's look a bit different from his usual brushwork, really nice! yeah I think the UK won this one.


oh and sorry I pussed out, I'd only detract to the awesomeness of the entries anyway...


yeah

[Midnight]

Badger - among the ones I can't see is either yours or dCept's, and I gather you both submitted.

I also can't see one of Summer Pudding's or Dallas's.

Anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?

Mid.

[sve]

Round 29, I like both entries. the first one for the wide outlook and spacious feeling. widens my lungs really.

The second one is funny, the body languages of the escapers (From Tate Britain Museum?) is pure gold. That's some sardonic humor. come on, English were not that far in civilizations from vikings, you are being unfair :).

Round 8 entry B I like this simple but funny and elegant composition. Repulsion, right? Funny. I like tea and tea drinkers though ;). ahahahanana.

Round 9 I like both entries, first one for curvy stylized silhouettes of creature and its rider and huge descending tree branches, it has a fairy tale touch to it. I wish the city was not that geometrical. kind of sobers me up.
And the second one is spacious again and I like these eraser's effect. The landscape looks wet though. good mood.

Round 14 first entry. Looks like mix of traditional and digital, right? looks likea pastel too, I love this effect in digitals.
It is strange image. They all look like lunatics, such an alerting, suspicious family or random collection of people on a bus stop. They look regular, but in the same time strange and something bothers me in their appearance. I wouldn't be very surprise if they slip their surface cocoons and reveal their real essence in the next moment, I kind of expect this. They look like mimickers to humans.

[Flaskpost]

oh fuck. you guys rock! ALOT of great paintings!

yAdam, you kicked my ass!

EDIT:

Sve: Thank you so much! Glad you liked! Yep, "repulsion". :)

[sve]

Poshspice, your entry reminds me "My Cousin Winny" movie, his and his flawless finance triumphal arrival in the small dirty town famous for its mud. The old car is just additional hint.
And you didn't explain me your story about crusade and dying angel picture. I remember that you didn't tell me it. I got it wrong remember, wish I knew your story... Still waiting...

[Kian]

Really great Tdome everyone :yayca: <<<

[Stahr]

Eye candy! Truly, this is getting me inspired, summerpudding, dallas, hurricane are my fav's also dirty_C(if it isn't tuchten?), hippi and nordstrand.
there is many more that I like also, don't want to make a big list...

A pat on the shoulder for each of you that finished your pictures!
I'm just happy i made it and finished it on time (before time actually!).
I'm really anxious about the outcome of battle number 23 ;) , i salute my combatant RES for finishing his picture, this is going to be a hard match.

[sve]

Yeah, I agree, round 23 is very interesting, both were very much precise in the emotion and they both did very beautiful pieces.

[strych9ine]

Too many great pieces to pick my favs, great job all around everyone.

[Dirty C]

Spud, that's the absolute shit. Great to see you evolving, man. i think that the stylish way you always painted really goes well with some kinda neon art nouveau shit you've got giong there. Seriously love it. Dallas - oooh you two were a good match. Such beautiful colour choices from both of you. Hard to pick (but I'm backing my man Amachree :D )

Eri, Fellah - both totally cool. I kinda think you lent a bit into the wind there, Simon - meaning your subject matter looks like it could have been chosen by your opponent! Really nice.

Is Olsen or Koshime the one with the two guys? Awesome. The other has some great craft designs, too. I get the feling this was Koshime's rushed piece. Looks great in general, mate, just coulda used a little while to fine tune some of that airbrushing.

Posh - the bloke from Cisco in my office reckons you've got the perspective on that '4' in '1/4' wrong. I think it's the most anal thing I've ever heard about one of the tightest paintings I've ever seen, but there you go mate :D

Matt, Bjorn - both kickass. You're pretty happy it's Christmas, huh Hurri? :D

Dudds - did you have a month to kill, or what?? Amazing effort, sir!

ALl I've got time for, gotta head off home in a minute to do some preliminary packing!

[sve]

Round four, both entries are very strong.

The Pete's has lovely effect of halo from light, and composition is beautiful. Intrusion and Repulsion it is. There is motion into center of piece and waves going from center, smoothing and reducing and impact killing effect.
I know you, Pete, will say something about my selling patch (which I resent btw) but your piece makes me think about opposites, passive and aggressive, warm and cold, light and dark, Yin and Yang, you can start laughing, one hour of laughing is equal to one glass of sour cream... Laughing is good for you...
Very energetic piece..

Dallas. It's a very mysterious mood in you picture. The silhouettes of the belle femme and grand piano against the light glowing sky do this for me. And globe and feckless floor and luxurious paintings in heavy frames...
Interesting atmosphere of refinements and culture and silence and good taste and manners and then this figure of intruder, awkward, misfit, unappropriated.
Blue saturated color of sky looks a bit too digital. I wish it was some finer shade of blue. moodier...

[fixx]

ooo so many good stuffs. :D this'll be interesting!

i really need to learn how to foto, bled out crap...:nohope:

[poise]

What the hell! when did this happen?! I guess you miss a lot when your on vacation. Great pics people! I really enjoyed, 'Journey into Bones and Death' that was awesome. I know which ones are certains artists, so I won't say. I also really liked the knomes, and the girl on the balloon with the yellow clouds.
Great! I'm a little bummed I wasn't apart of this, but I guess you can't complain when your in Jamaica. ;)
-T
Oh I just read Uk vs Scandinavia, so yeah I live in NY and I wouldn't be apart of this anyway, haha!
Good Job guys!

[Seer]

Yeah, well.

Looks like duddle stole our show ugh I mean boat. Reminds me of games workshop stuff. It could be made into a game.

Totally misunderstood you aefx, nice to see you submitted. :)

[Boogieman]

o balls i loose...
Damn Midnight! Challenged you cause I thought we were maybe at equal level but you just made me bend over didn't you?

Rest of yall submitted some killer pieces. Mind blowing shit.

[Jove]

wow, nice stuff everyone! :D

[aefx]

Yeah, well.

Looks like duddle stole our show ugh I mean boat. Reminds me of games workshop stuff. It could be made into a game.

Totally misunderstood you aefx, nice to see you submitted. :)Yeah I managed to get something in at the last minute. Thanks for the congrats in the other thread, much appreciated :) I'm digging the border! Whose face is that on the guy that's second from the right? Looks like Bill Gates hehe.

[koshime]

Dirty C > my entry was the rushed Worm city attacks entree. Need to work on getting images more CLEANED up! Any tips be appreciated!

[Fellah.]

Some bloody sweet pieces here, lads!! Eri: Rocking stuff, man - really love it! Hats off to you!
Thanks, sve and Dirty! Wanted to paint something new in a slightly different style, so im glad it wasnt as big a let down as i thought. Cheers!

[sve]

Koshime, you asked for tips... well for what it'is worth. I think the composition is a bit too calm and static...the strange submarine or creature doesn't look like it surrounded, there is no feeling of catastrophe or panic, the surface of the water is too clam, in my opinion. Too much of softness in the picture, it is hard to focus eyes on anything,not enough sharp edges and there is no direction from you to viewer where to follow with our eyes. A bit chaotic I think. I would prefer to see more clear Fg and middle ground and BG and more deepness in the image. the closest to us attacking aircraft, I wold prefer it bigger or sharper. The main thing is static. not enough of dynamics, in my opinion.

[koshime]

SVE > thanks for the critique. Unfortunately.. I designed the Worm thing as a Worm city, so it is ...static...ish, but tried to design some movement via the vehicles. Hope I have better luck next time....

[lefran]

cakeypigdog- thanks =]

and your entry ( andorz ( my opponent)) is cool =]

theres so many awesome ones too many to pick!

[DARYL]

some great work on display here, thanks for a great showdown. a few favourites are hurricane's, matt's and torstein's. kudos.

[Quicksilver]

Excellent work, guys! Pete, Dixon, I love yours in particular.

Sooo sorry for not submitting anything :( Shouldn't have joined in the first place, really.

Best of luck, everyone! go UKers - wooo!

[Seer]

Whose face is that on the guy that's second from the right? Looks like Bill Gates hehe.

Prince Charles. :blah:

[Eriboss]

wahh

Awesome stuff, great to see people bringing the pain!

Simon, that looks awesome!! I love the direction you are taking, cheers for a sweet fight!
some other perdy pictures in this ere thread, duddle that's epic man, posh, haha I live right near there! god bless wookey hole, heh that almost sounds like starwars porn :B
great stuff all round, well done those who finished up in time. Thanks to everyone who commented, look forward to judging,

Cheers

Eri

[aefx]

Prince Charles. :blah:
Ah whoops! I've only been in the UK for six months, you'll have to excuse me :S

[RES]

Good job everyone and a big thanks to badger for sorting this one out, it’s produced lots of nice work so a big ass pat all round :)

There’s so many pictures to like but my absolute favourite has to be Mister Doodlebug’s it’s a fantastic piece of work with so much in it. I doff my cap sir.

Nice work Failoniir its going to be an a nail biting wait for the results.

[Hazaeon]

Wehheheell, such variety, very inspiring. Many good images and some superb ones.

personal Favourites are Duddlebug's, greathumour,a really full and rich image.

Nordstrand, T - really powerful, love the energy. reminds me of some of Egon Schiele's work

And summerpudding really stood out, never seen anything quite like it, refreshing.

Cheers for dueling lunch, haha great gestures, especially on the police!
Quality painting though, solid and well developed.

And a big cheers to everyone else, especially Badger for organising it.

See you next invasion

[Dallas]

Hi Guys.

@Pud´: Hehe, hard to resist the spacecraft launch eh?! ;) I really like your colours (notice I used weird Pudding colours in mine?). I would have liked to see more of the world though :( Don't assume who's winning just yet...you never know how it goes......;)

Cool stuff guys. Hurri: I really like the giant in the background. Uh, and Ford Capri rules ;)

-Dallas / Rasmus

[Hiipi]

Bradley's pic reminded me of this one by Nicolas.
Not saying he got his inspiration there or anything,
just a funny coincidence.

congrats to all!

[lyon]

Very nice work everyone. It was an honor to be able to judge. Lots of great images in there. I am impressed with the number of pieces this round brought out. It isn't always easy to put the time in when you have work and contracts going on, but a lot of you pulled it together. Well done. There are some new standouts from members who I wasn't familiar with. I look foward to seeing more!

[4rt-r41d]

0_0 did i win?

[Mandryk]

[Beastmaster Fred]

Just wanted to thank badger and the judges for putting this thing together and also thanks to cakeypigdog for a good match. So thanks, guys.

I painted mine in a hurry and am not that pleased with the result really but none the less I did have fun in the process.

What'd I get beaten by I can't see pencilator's jobby, all I get's a red x.
