show me an idea and i'll think about it... probably. show me a brilliant one and you've got yourself a picture. it's a pretty simple concept. come up with the best damned idea you've thought of, write it here in the comments box or as a note and send it to me if you prefer being more personal. if i think it's a really, really good idea, i'll draw it up as a picture for you.

there's going to be 5 slots open for this and i'll put up WIP pictures of the works as well, unless i happen to be streaming that day. the finish and quality of the work's going to depend on how impressed i am with the idea. those of you who have followed me for awhile will know this is true. you've got until the 14th of April, 2300 hours, singapore time (+8 GMT), to come up with good ideas. i'll tally up all the ideas until i've come to the final top 5 ideas. feel free to post up as many ideas as you want, and don't get discouraged if i shoot them down, because that's part of any good design process.

TL;DR:
come up with a bloody brilliant idea before, 14th April, in order to get free art. you may submit more than one idea.

tips for standing a better chance of winning:
1. REFERENCE MATERIAL
blocks of highly detailed text are good. pictures are even better.

2. BE SPECIFIC
   yes, i can be quite dumb sometimes. but then again, i don't read minds either. tell me as detailed as you can what your idea is. not telling me about the details and whining to me about it later will result in your piece being trashed altogether, assuming you get there.

3. AS ORIGINAL AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE
   i get a lot of people asking me to do [insert subject here] being [incredibly buff / super strong] and flexing their [muscles / biceps / chest / etc]. doesn't feel terribly original does it? i don't mind if it's about hyper or macro muscles, give me something tastier to do. on this subject, i also don't mind if it's something i haven't done before. but let's keep away from scat and gore as much as we can. there are other artists you can ask to do those.

4. KEEP TRYING
   i probably don't need to tell you guys this one. good ideas sometimes come from really crappy ideas. sometimes, if you hammer a really crappy idea with enough logic, advice and different perspectives or smash a couple of crappy ideas together, you get something unusually good. but don't hammer 2 Micheal Bay type ideas together because then you just get exploding mush.
