I like this giveaway theme :D +1

I would knock up a tune but I haven't done anything in nearly a year, would have to install daws, plugins, get midi controllers from loft etc, practice and try to pick it back up and it would turn into a big thing. Tho I should really get off the games and back onto the tunes. Something to thing about!

Thanks. :) I need something to motivate me to make something and not be lazy too most of the time and that's exactly why I created this topic. I'd like to hear your tune, even if it's short and simple (well, as a folkie I'm quite used to short and simple).

I love this idea! I have two entries:

This is a recounting of a quest my Dwarf PC undertook on my NWN Forgotten Realms server.

More of my original work is also on that profile, all of it Dwarves-related.
And although not a terrific work of art or anything I made a screenshot slideshow set to music to promote the Oghrann's Hammer dwarven clan on the NWN server Forgotten Realms Cormyr back when I was super-active there.

Forgot to name my prize...Bioshock 2 please and thank you.

Wonderful giveaway, +1! I might enter in a week or two if I have the time.

This... is awesome and priceless beyond words ;) I have a few games I'm working through now but when I get around to my NWN (first one?) I might have to PM you to get involved on your server. From what I've heard the servers are the best part of the game and it sounds like a lot are still active! I was very afraid I'd be 10 years too late. Do I just PM GoG to get that code I need?

And while I'm not in, if the pilsner I have lagering right now turns out as beautiful as I hope I may have to stick a pic of that up here! Maybe taking liberties calling myself an artist for it... but I might want to show it off regardless.

I don't normally participate in giveaways buuuuuuuuut, you do got The Bard's Tale just sitting there and your are presenting a pretext (I've capitulated to far more flimsy ones) to flaunt my junk.

Well since this is a thread for 'artists' what kinda of artist would I be if I did stroke my own ego? So, here ya go, a self-portrait even (for maximum ego strokage)

but, with all things pixel and glitch (God I hate that word) YMMV-- It's just happens to be my cuppa.


edit: a big ole +1 (naturally)

For some reason I read that as " -> made or at least finished BY August 2014 by yourself "as in before the end of the contest deadline because of language differences:) I also see "01/9/2014 and read that as October since in the US we post the date with month/day/year.

Well...damn.I guess my Dwarven stories don't count then:(

Your beardly yarns have appeased Amok :]

You guys still have plenty of time to make something.
I wish that I could participate, but hopefully I'll find another occasion.

I don't see what's stopping you from participating :]

The only thing stopping me from working on more submissions are these 'responsibilities' :\

I just gotta knock em out >:|

Favorited for later, perhaps I can come up with at least something

Thank you for the awesome giveaway, +1!

I will enter when I have something.

Just now saw this:) A fellow DF player eh;)? Well thanks, I appreciate the kind words! Unfortunately that server was down for months and months and theDwarf clan (as well as many other players)went their separate ways. I've gotten emails, etc asking me to return but frankly I need a break from it all and to focus on other games.

And you bet Fry's cowlick that beer brewing is an art form! It's one of my favorite art forms and takes as much skill to brew a good beer as it does to paint a good portrait or write a good song. Post those pics:)
