From November 2013's winner
Archie:
Quote
A Tharg Month: He doesn't get much of an outing artistically these days so I reckon anyone could have a decent stab at him and come up with something weird and wonderful.
It should be noted that the former quote was harvested before the Tharg story in Prog 2014.... but we are still in for a green bonce bonanza this January. Battling the thrill suckers? Defeating the 'orrible Dictators of Zrag?! Or just chowing down on polystyrene cups.... It must happen and it MUST be
Ghafflebette!
- remember there are PRIZES TO BE WON - one for the winner, one for Tharg's Choice (he'll have a job this month) - ! All entries will be featured on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/2000adartcomp) where they are admired and liked by our 280-strong followers :D There will also be a bonafide 2000ad droid judging their favourite entry for Droid's Choice....
Rules are these:
- You can enter as many times as you like but bear in mind it will split your vote so it
may not be worth it.
- All entries have to be specifically for this competition - so no pictures you've done for anything else.
YOU HAVE UNTIL THE 26th OF JANUARY WHEN WE WILL UNLEASH THE VOTING FALCON
Oh boy - heavens knows if I'll be able to find time for this but that is one of my favourite subjects so I#ll do all I can to do something for once.

Hard to beleive this is almost six years old! Time to get my pens out!
Great comp idea. Can't wait to see what folks come up with yet again! ;)
Can't wait to get stuck into this one. Great competition idea
Yup. Gonna be a fun un'. :)
I'll kick it off with this Flint inspired Tharg.

Not quite sure why I came up with this idea but here's Tharg baking a thrill-powered cake.

Portrait of the artist as a young[ish] fan...
Changed my mind and took some out and put some in. Really just..ahem...borrowed from Flint a bit more.

Evenin' all. Loving the work, as usual, Archie!
Here's another.

Really nice work on show, fellas. Uncle Fester, that is quite brilliant. ;)
that's fantastic Connor - just the right level of intergalactic sneer!
i have a vague memory that the Rosette of Sirius was something Tharg earned or gained in some way for being awesome rather than something TMO was born with. Does anyone else know if this is right or my memory is fouling up again?
Cheers!
Just a fortnight left on this! Hope there are some zarjaz entries brewin'....
as it happens...

Ah-ha! Cheers Bolt-01. Appreciate you sharing your mighty Mighty One knowledge.
Love the BTP note. :lol:
Great stuff everyone.
I saw Uncle Fester's Tharg on my phone and thought it was pretty damn good, but looking at it on computer: wow.
Nice entries so far.
Loving the charisma in Uncle Festers and the texture of the planets.
Starting to get somewhere .... I've gone with showcasing Thargs editorial skills. Still not 100% happy some elements may be redone before inks. Thus far the image is all traditional, no computers involved except scanning it in.

Sorry I missed the advent calender, but I'm back with a new competition entry. Here's my Tharg.

Ha :D Like it.
You have achieved the impossible and made our Tharg ridiculous...
One week left
and only eight entries!! Does old green-bonce not command the respect he once did or are there more entries being assembled in hiding?
More incoming :)
Just getting to the colouring stage .....

Will be trying to put together something this week. Have done some rough sketches and know what I want to do, it is just finding the time to do it! :-[

Because genius is seldom recognised on its own planet.
Ho! Oh you is good Raggedy Man, I like that. Can't see Ruffian's and this is my entry heavily inspired by entries so far.

Tharg! finding new ways to make your head hurt.
If yiou scroll that up and down, Bob, it makes you puke!
nice one.
HE he he :)
MY......EYES! :( Hah, love it Bob.
That is the awesome Mr Molesworth.
Cheers Guys,
Don't stare at it too long, I will end up having to put a government warning on it.
Side effects may include:
Dizziness
Nausea
Loss of appetite
and Diarrhea
Awesome entries for this competition. I great start to the new year. Rather sad that I will be unable to participate in this one but I shall endeavour to at least cast my vote next week :D
Love it, Mr Molesworth! The perfect blend of pop, op and, well, eye-searing nausea. Makes me think that 2000ad hasn't been doing enough 'experimental' (for want of a better term) covers, like the old Warhol or Gilbert and George style ones. I'd love to see something like this on the front of the prog - it would definitely catch the punter's eye (if not rip it out of the socket).
can some one help please, i have drawn a peice to enter,and im new to the forum,how do i add an image as im using my ipad
(http://forums.2000adonline.com/webkit-fake-url://08FD0D1C-CCAE-4388-B7FB-28FDD8D3576E/imagejpeg)
ive tried to add my artwork for the comp but its not having it, blooming drokking scanner not working, i did add a post on the facebook competition page, i doubt if it will get entered, must get a new scanner and payday is the 28th, looks like i will have to wait for the next comp.

Very well designed and executed Mr. Molesworth. Love it.
It's time to call it a day with this one for me. Had a blast. I chose to depict Tharg in a moment of contemplation before sending another failed creative droid into the abyss that is Mek Quakes gut.

antodonnell, i like it, Mek Quake on BiG Jobs,
Awesome stuff everyone. Just a quicky from me. Just wanted to do something to honour our esteemed editor. :D

Tharg versus Marg! Something quick inspired by some of late 2013's damage reports.

Wow, some really well executed and solid ideas getting in before the deadline. Awesome :)
Well it would appear im to late and not overly happymwith my result. I'll do it again and post it in the other thread because I enjoyed drawing the big green bonce. :lol:
Some cracking entries from all, gonna be a tough call to vote on.
You have still got 2 hours (I think) hawkmonger can you not get something done quick. It would be a shame that you should miss out. If not then I look forward to seeing it in the other thread!!
