[scans thread] Yikes. I’ll agree to either, and I’ll be in and out of contact because of hurricane Florence having likely minor effects on wifi in this area. As points of order, (1) if Funkm wants to judge us first, he should be allowed to. (2) Since I’ve agreed to either, Keric should have the right to, whether he wins or not, be judge afterwards. (3) UNLESS Keric agrees to Funkm’s plan–then the winner of that 3-way judging should be judge.

Expecting a partial lack of coverage due to conservation and disaster planning measures locally by 5am to 2pm EST. Another extending through much of tomorrow evening. May be unable to get on during some of that.

What say you?

“DrainSentry fell under scrutiny today as the auditors discovered mutagens in their products. The big name in home protection from sewer pests has always used motion detectors in the aerosol dispensing hardware. The motion detection hardware IS the source of the leaking mutagens; discarded improperly, the results are apparently much worse. The question the EPA is asking is ‘when did they start CONTRIBUTING to the problem they were helping with?’ In other news . . . ”

*The wing was used about ten times to make most of the ‘drain pest.’ The thurible became an automated aerosol dispenser and its shadow. The mace became the mounting chains and the drain.

. . . I’ll agree to a three way if Keric does. (Gosh that sounds naughty.) I’ll see how I should rework my rubric for a base ten.

My entry might not be ready before noon (technical difficulty,) so judge if you must. Appealing to Hairy to fix a computer remotely might not pan out anyway.

Makeshift sounds like he’d be a fun character to play / write. One of my best iterations of a chaotic neutral gaming character had a chaotic neutral IQ and made along his range a perfect sailing vessel out of a pair of wine casks (critical success) to a +10 Beard Of Frightening that scared into submission the enemy he was trying to make it a peace offering to. (Never blow up a dwarf’s beard.)

Unfortunately if the item won’t shade where you want it, sometimes you have to ‘hide’ part of the lion behind an extra piece of background and add a new tail with shading masked to it. Sometimes you have to build a shaded tail from scratch. Various workarounds like this happen all the time.
Enjoy!

P.S. Having taken a closer look, you might stretch (increase the x value) of the shading.

This Artist-themed chess set is base-cast in resin, details factory carved, and individually sealed with Certanium-brand sealant to reduce fragility. 1. The pawns are figures of elderly men whittling. Some variance occurs within the hair and hand posing.

Your ‘short bus’ passage had me rolling.

[Herr D]

I am sorry for not getting back sooner. The contest did expire before Keric’s entry, so Funkm’s won.

A shame, really. It would have been close, and worth the rubric for Keric’s misuses. Funkm? I was glad to see the one item as a thurible hanger on your lady. Pick 3 and a deadline. Congrats, man. I hope she lays them to rest.

I disagree with Suleman about Inazuma. The chinless kind of goes with the inhuman-ness. I think you should work on the mask grip. An ambiguous bit is whether the right hand is true or a glove. Excellent use of the ‘nanny-nanny-boo-boo’ tongue. And yes, Dewasenja is COOL.

[Herr D]

Looking forward to seeing some.

“And for the following, bids will start at three meals, one backscratch. A prototype from a protohuman, Unga’s Bunga was not sold previously because Unga was clubbed to death by a rival for the affections of a certain other attractive protohuman, who shall remain nameless in this exchange. Had Unga been holding this weapon, painstakingly flint-knapped by Dorg Of The Steady Hands, instead of the attractive protohuman’s hair, the incident would have had a much different outcome. It is shaped explicitly for Unga’s hand, but any of your tribe’s healthy members should have a good grip. Unga’s Bunga is suitable for melee combat, crushing nuts, hammering stakes or pikes around a campsite, tenderizing meat, or assuring an attractive protohuman’s compliance.

Do we have an opening bid?”

Sorry for the late getting back, ev1! Thank you, Keric; Universal Biologic was a great gig.

Now–these three tops will be due in a pic on 8/26 by 5pm, hopefully to be judged by 8pm.
One additional point will be awarded to a reference to Bob Hope. If the reference is vague, one additional day early for questions would be advisable.

Here we have a photo of Cathedralesis, the species nickname for the Stained Glass Sunset Butterfly, found only on the disappearing shores of Sandy Atoll in the Northern Pacific. Seven hundred miles from the Bering Strait in a southerly direction, Sandy Atoll has deciduous trees, the SGS Butterfly, seven species of tiny lizard (Leaf Mace Lizard shown bottom left,) and fifty-odd species of rare orchid (Sonoma Society Number Thirty-seven, depicted middle.)

[Herr D]
