It might seem like there is a long time until Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras, but with the weather like it is it may be awhile until everyone thaws out.

The challenge is to create some kind of Valentine's Day and/or Mardi Gras content, be it a skin, a scope, an FX, artwork, a micro-mod... anything. Decorate your avatar in green, purple, and gold or red and pink. Create your own character with the appropriate theme.

Rules are simple:

Deadlines are February 14th for Valentine's Day, February 28th for Mardi Gras. If you are a little late, we won't care (will we?)

Post pictures of your work here so we can look at it and cheer you on.

Have fun.

To get you started, here are a couple of old subjects: Wade ready for the Lords of Misrule to take over (Might be what he calls his in-laws), and pretty in pink for his Valentine.

Well, to get into the Spirit, here are my two from last year:

After several failed attempts to do the face, I decided to use the original. I've wanted to see this since I started issuing these challenges, and haven't yet. So, I decided to do one myself.

Nice! A really appropriate avatar for the Mardi Gras treatment!

Bat Gras...



I've actually seen a pic of The Joker wearing something like this. Man, was it tempting to put a couple of jingle bells on those ears...

Dodge and burn on a shade of yellow that I looked for for months. Check you mailbox for a swatch.

Haha, I love all of these!  I especially love the Mardi Gras ones!

Saw this cartoon once where Supergirl convinced Superman that he could wear pink and get away with it.

Ask most guy and they'll tell you: it isn't pink, it's light red.

Never seems like a long time (looks over the bag of VDay candy from Walgreens on the desk). I'm in and I think I've the perfect one lined up.

daglob

Probably not the costume Bats should wear if he is going to see Fredirck Whertham...

That's great!  :lol:

I feel like Hawkeye would fit in with this group.

And here is Pinkeye and his buddy Pink Arrow.

Are they both frowning? If so, that's perfect!

Yes, they are frowning. I need to fix Ollie; he's more lavender than pink.

Valentine's Day is only two weeks away; Fat Tuesday four weeks. The first parade in this vicinity will be Saturday the 4th on Dauphin Island. We need your cherubs and cupids by Valentine's day, and your mummers and maskers the last day of the month.

Laissez les bons temps rouler.

Ha, great stuff DG!  Valentines Hawkeye looks like something that could have shown up in a comic.  :D

Love all of it. Also thank you for doing these challenges, they really add a lot to the community. Any plans for the  :ff: anniversary?

SickAlice

Neither had I till right before I posted that and then " I wonder when FF's anniversary is? " popped in my thinkpan. Turns out 15 years the end of this March. Gosh 15 years and going strong, isn't that amazing?  :)

I was going to post my Valentine's entry, but Photobucket locked me out.  :banghead:

daglob

I've been thinking about giving up Photoucket for Lent. They keep trying to hijack me to another web site, or offer me (important vital, required, necessary, etc.) updates on programs that I don't need updated, or not update my page for 5-10 minutes.

daglob

Yes, one week 'til Valentine's Day, and three 'til Mardi Gras Day.
