Hello, and welcome to this thread! THIS BEING THE THREAD FOR THE SUPERIFFIC, EXTRA SPLENDIFEROUS, AND OVERLY ZEALOUS COMPETITION OF THE MONTH! Exclamation!



These monthly competitions are a chance for you to demonstrate your creativity and talents while getting a chance to know your fellow members and have a little fun. Hopefully! Each month is going to have a different theme and a different talent – and maybe a surprise or two! Or not! But only one member can wear the purple coins and fancy title of CotM Winner AND INSERT BONUS PRIZE HERE! Unless there is a tie, then that previous sentence was false! Do you have what it takes? Specifically, the acknowledgement of my existence that is truly all I crave? I'm reaching rock bottom here.

The basic rules are as follows:
Hidden:
» Members can contribute pieces based on the talent (writing, art, screenshots, etc.) and theme during the submission period, after which no further entries will be accepted. Then we will vote via a poll to see who gets to wear that month’s winner’s badge!

» If you are posting artwork, please post a link from an off-forum website such as Photobucket; if you are posting a written piece, please hide it under a hidden tag when creating a new post. This is to ensure that posts are not too long and the thread appears orderly for everyone. If you are unsure how to do either of these, don’t be afraid to ask! Hint: you type
Code:
[hide]Your thing here![/hide]


» Be respectful and polite about your fellow members’ work. Unless it is mine and is clearly terrible, in which case feel free to send me several private messages telling me so. Anyone who says anything rude about another’s work will be hearing from a member of the Mod Squad and may not be allowed to participate in the next competition. There is no such thing as “good” or “bad,” and everyone has a unique way of demonstrating his or her talents. Enjoy the variety! Unless you don't like it, then complain about it! But actually don't!

» All members are welcome to join, and that includes moderators. Don’t forget that we’re members, too! Very similar to that elephant memory thing, but somehow different.


For this contest, you shall be creating the cover artwork for a hypothetical CD jacket for the bard songs from Skyrim and ESO!

Try to imagine what would fit the tone of the bard songs for creating this. Note that if you do not want to, or do not think you are talented enough to pull it off, you do not NEED to create an actual image of it (although bonus points if you do, obviously). I will be accepting good descriptions of what you think the album cover would be as an acceptable entry. If you want some inspiration, try listening to Malukah!

Also, thanks to Venger for the idea for this contest!

Our schedule for the event of this month (not sure which one that is completely!) is as follows:
March 4: Competition begins! Start planning and send in those submissions!
March 23-30: Voting period – vote for your favorites! I swear the vote shall not be rigged! Really!
March 31: Our winner is announced!
Please note that all times are determined by me, AKB, and therefore will run according to what time I say it is. This might be largely arbitrary!)

Remember that the CotM is not possible without you, so please participate, contribute, discuss, and vote!

(This fun event is hosted by AKB. If you have any questions, feel free to ask AKB within this thread or by sending AKB a PM or email by selecting the appropriate button below AKB's signature. Have some suggestions on what you'd like to see? Head over to the ideas thread and join in on the discussion!)

PARTICPANTS
Damon
Ripcage
SM-Dreamer

PRIZES

Since I am everyone's favorite... everything... I will be giving the winner extra bonus prizes to show how much I care! Besides the purple coins, the winner shall also receive a copy of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition, and The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings: Enhanced Edition redeemable on Steam to go with this victory! Due to the mature nature of these games, should the winner be a bit too young for me to be able to comfortably give them to them, I will provide an alternative prize as compensation, instead.

From the desk of AKB -- dictated but not read

By the time I reread that and realized it said songs I had already finished the art. Derp. At any rate, here's my entry! The only entry...
Quote:
Behold, the debut album of Skyrim's number one rising star...
Lurbuk!

The debut album features Lurbuk's chart topping track, A Song of Fear and Death, inspired by his own close encounters with a Dark Brotherhood assassin! Other tracks include: The Dragonborn Comes, Tale of the Tongues, and all-new instrumental compositions never before heard!
If you want more Lurbuk for your coins, then keep an eye open for the "Underground Edition" of the album. This version of the album includes two extra tracks, demo versions of A Song of Fear and Death, and a previously unreleased track, Camilla, featuring Sven!

Album art in case anyone is too lazy to click the links:

Warning: I whipped this together in a whole 5 minutes about 5 hours ago before I started doing random chores and busy work, with the intention of it being a throwaway for the sole entry to the COTM, because I'd wanted to win it at least once, lol. I'll share it anyway, even though it's crap and there's an entry to compete against now.

To cover the bard tunes for Skyrim, Talsgar the Wanderer is releasing a live album filmed live in the Imperial City's arena as a way to raise funds for victims who have suffered at the hands of the Dragons and the Stormcloaks. This album can be pre-ordered starting on 14th of Rain's Hand, and the album will hit ye olde shoppes all over Tamriel starting on the 5th of Sun's Height.

Alduin's wings, they did darken the sky. His roar fury's fire, and his scales sharpened scythes.
Men ran and they cowered, and they fought and they died. They burned and they bled as they issued their cries.
We need saviors to free us from Alduin's rage. Heroes on the field of this new war to wage.
And if Alduin wins, man is gone from this world. Lost in the shadow of the black wings unfurled.
But then came the Tongues on that terrible day. Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray.
And all heard the music of Alduin's doom. The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um.
And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage. Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new Age.
If Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done. For his story is over and the dragons are... gone.


So, I dunno how good this is, but this is what came to my mind when I considered the bard songs.

I love the look of that cover, SM! Ergh, I wish I could sketch!

Ripcage stands victorious! Over his competition! Yeah! His name is now purple, his coins are now purple, basically he's all purple. As an added bonus, he wins the bonus! Enjoy your adventures as Geralt!

In second place comes SM-Dreamer, with her rather pleasant looking entry.

In third came Damon, with his rather familiar entry. I swear I have seen that cover essentially in real life.

Well done, Rippi! You won it! Your pessimism about winning was for nothing!

Enjoy your first taste of the purple coins -but be warned- that hunger you had before shall now only grow, and ye shall be after them again...
