    So wood! I'm a sucker for bad puns like that.
    Although you should realise that by making an animation I'm gonna have to raise my bar higher...

    You really should create a wooded version of that.

    I was worried that if I entered too early everyone else would make better projects because of mine. But if I waited until the last minute, I may have forgotten. Oh well. Anyone who steals my idea will be burninated!

    trogdor2.png

    It's a pixel-for-pixel reproduction of the Trogdor sprite from the game. Built entirely in Minecraft Classic without mods or cheats. (I considered using Beta, but that would have taken too long; I probably would have had to reforest the whole map a few times to get enough wood.) I have progress pictures if anyone doubts. The light blocks are standard Wood; the dark ones are Logs. The only non-wood content is the teeth, which are white stone.

    Alright guys, here's my entry:
    A picture with Strong Bad, Trogdor and Bear holding a Shark drawn:
    - on a paper made out of wood,
    - on a wooden desk,
    - with wooden pencil
    - with wooden crayons.

    It can't be wood-y enough :D

    Hey That was semi-ish my entry.
    Only I edited it with trogdor burninating strong bad
    and then made it a woodish texture.

    Yeah, so?

    (Don't worry I think your entry is better than my drawing)

    Currently working on my entry... I'll give you a hint. Has something to do with a traditional art in the country where I live, and the title is a bad portmanteau phrase involving the word Trogdor. TrogdOR. Heeeheee...

    ...Is the name of the art also the name of a forum member here?
    Because if so I think I have a wild guess. :p

    Trogdorogami? If so, I also tried that, but failed.

    Hey guys, this is my first post :)
    I thought it would be kind of fitting to start here since I'm able to show a nice pic as an introduction. This is pretty much the perfect opportunity to do this, since I've been wanting to do a Homestar-fanart for a while.

    Of course I wouldn't be posting if I didn't have something to show:

    trogdorcontestentry.jpg

    This pic also has some kind of backstory, read it if you like ;)

    So, today, there has been kind of a bout on my desk. I must have been drawing the guy wrong because my Trogdor came to life! But that mysterious general of the Homestarmy came to the rescue and brought his fellas along. It was a rough battle until Strongbad came up with the perfect idea: He knew that Strongmad would do everything to save the (apparently fireproof) cheat™, so he held it into the flames. Just as anticipated, Strongmad lost his temper and burst out into a diving elbow drop. During all of this, Homsar just looked the other way and had thoughts about rainbow-colored welcome-mats...


    Long story short: Hi! :)

    Welcome to the forums, Win Diesel! Nice entry. I like the S is for Suck dragon's speech bubble.

    The one and only email checked on the little-known predecessor to the Tandy of which Strong Bad claimed to have pawned off some random guy named "Rather Dashing"...
