CARICATURE CONTEST

CARICATURE CONTEST: We have new caricatures for the last caricature contest.  

Four teams playing by now (1). You can participate with a new team. You must simply post here a comment with the name of four players plus yourself and the position of each one in the black unit: PG, SG, F, PF and C. The result of this contest depends on the points of your team at Jersey Contest for Wed, Apr 16 game against Phoenix.

To win one caricature you need your team wins, first, and you should win to your teammates, second. Who wins he chooses the caricature that he wants. There will be some other prizes for the people who showed interest in this contest, what will be detailed once the contest is finished. The rest of caricatures will be sent to Dave, if he doesn´t disagree, so he can do with them what he wants.

(1) Teams in the contest by now: 1º.- The "Skins team": 1.C Bfan; PF Old School; SG DJ; PG Lily 41; F Tom. 2º.- JORGA TEAM OK: SG Section323; PG jorga; SF troutfan; PF rastabird; C jamon51. 3º.-  The Lizards' Line Up: PF JTDuck22; SF faith; Center Lenny Suckerpunch; Point Guard  anntheFan; Combo Guard Lizzy!. 4º.- Team Libertad: PG: SergioFTW!; SG: philthyanimal's; SF: EnglandDan's; PF: Mortimer; C: BlazersOrBust!. Hey!, What are you waiting to do your team?.

All roster caricatures are in the contest except Oden (won by Tom) and Brandon Roy (by Lizzy).

THE RED BARON

MANY IFS IN BE:

IF you can keep your head when all around you
Are losing theirs and blaming your team,
If you can trust your team when all fans doubt it,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can post and not be tired by others posting,
Or being ignored, don't deal in ignoring others,
Or being attacked, don't give in way to attacking,
And yet don't look too good, nor write too wise.
If you believe in youth- and not make youth an excuse;
If you trust in the coach and still have your view;
If you can´t say the LA team name or worst
If you can meet with "Trade", "Pick" and "Fire" posts
And treat and read those three just the same;
If you can bear to see a serious basketball thread
killed by Tominhawaii or your comment erased by Dave,
Or watch the Diaries you gave your life to, lost,
And stoop and build 'em up with some typing errors.
If you can remember all your team´s best wins
as you remember all your team worst loses,
And follow every game as the first time
In a first Game Open Thread.
If you can cheer on your team again and again
long after the possibilities of a victory are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing to do
Except to post in the Thread: 'Hold on!'
If you can share with the BE´s crew and keep another life,
Or learn with them good English grammar - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all fans count with you, but only
one or two or three or fourty too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving last game´s minute
With three hundred sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the NBA and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you´re a Blaseredger, my friend!

IF by Kipling remasterized for BE.

are these
digitally done? or did you scan them?  i think its crazy how people can draw with those tablets on photoshop...i just cant get a "feel" when i use those pens.

by Philthyanimal on Mar 31, 2008 10:13 AM PDT   0 recs

I scan them.
The originals by Paco are what I´ll send to the winners (more than one this time) and Dave, as I did with Oden to Tom and Brandon Roy to Lizzy.

When Paco will finish all roster
I´ll kill him, so it will increase the value of the caricatures.

What the heck?
I thought it was Kevin Duckworth!
But you are right!

Some of these are crazy spot on, like Channing. Others, Prz for instance, look like the photo was not so good.

(Not that I'm complaining, I just think it's funny.)

And Alfredo, does the artist (or you) have plans to market these?
Otherwise, it sure seems like a lot of work.

by Section323 on Mar 31, 2008 6:47 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

He did the work for me
and we agreed that the caricatures would be shared for free for all blazer blog or sites i would choose. No intention to market.

Amlmart, these are absolutely wonderful.
I love Channing's portrait. But where is my boy Travis?

by annthefan on Mar 31, 2008 2:16 PM PDT   0 recs

I was trying to obtain an special Travis
following Lizzy´s instructions. I found a guy to do that job, Luis Angel Argote Martin (you may see an example of his work in the adress below), but the guy seems to be a little lazy (two weeks ago i ask him for Nate as Rambo or marine and I´m still waiting), so i have ordered a Travis by Paco, too.

Being lazy has saved my own life more than once.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I can't wait to see it. I'll bet the team would love to see these. I wonder if they will? This makes a great signature for you too

by annthefan on Mar 31, 2008 2:48 PM PDT   0 recs

You will have your original caricature
of Travis at home, as you are a member of Lizzy´s team and you showed in the past interest in this contest in some threads, replying with Lizzy, as I still remember. When you would have seen the caricature posted, send me an email with your adress to myname@wanadoo.es, where "myname" is my name in BE. If you have not a reply in 24 hours by email, let me know in any reply to a comment by me.
Always is a pleasure to read your posts.

Are you kidding me? I can't believe it! This is
fantastic. I don't know what to say except thank you so much. I would love to have a caricature of Travis. I'm going to send you an email right now because I'm a luddite in a technical world and I want to make sure it gets there before the big day. Hugs and kisses!

Here Lizards Lizards Lizards
Whadda we goin' to do?

I don't even know if we can play but there is always a way. No way to check who's predicted or not. We probally needs a roll call. Anyone been tossed?

I lost the darn rules! (not really just wishin").
Like last Game. High scorer on Our Team (without a caricature in hand) gets the prize.

GO LIZARDS

This time a second win is allowed.
You can get a second caricature, because there will be more than one prize.

I like the words of wisdom
That Alfredo has posted by "Old Rudy".

Well worth a read. I passed them by my first time through, oogling Paco's drawings. I am glad I took the time to read 'em, my second time through.

I'm dusting off my game face and getting ready
to put it on. And guess what! I don't have to work on the 16th. Today just gets better and better. I feel like I've won the lottery. I've already chosen a spot on the wall for my Travis caricature.

HERE'S A SMALL PROBLEM...
I love you guys and I love the contest, but I'd like to keep the entry forms for the playoffs just for the playoff participants.  Otherwise I have to sort through all of the entries to find the 18 people who count.

HOWEVER...here is my proposed solution:

Instead of everybody entering every game, can each team pick ONE participant to enter each game, much like teams on Survivor pick only certain people to do challenges sometimes?  It can be a different person each game.  Maybe each team can have a captain who actually fills in the form and the designated team member can e-mail their entry to the captain?  Also you can enter using your team's name so it's easy for me to tell who's who.

This way there are only, like, five extra entries each game instead of dozens.  That will make it easier for me to sort through.

I consider this an Honor to Alfredo's CC
One question.

Can the Team Email ONE (and only one ) to your addy?

With Alfredo's permission, Thank you.

"The Team with Caricature!"

by Lizzy Lowblow on Mar 31, 2008 9:07 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

It is an honor
I am very proud and grateful that amlmart is doing this here.  I just don't want to have to pick out the correct 18 scores out of 40 or 50 if I can help it...and it will be more than that if I make the contest form public, which I'd need to do in order for you guys to enter.

Sending me an entry won't help much, as I don't do the scores by hand anymore.

However, how about this?  I will take down the e-mails of the team captains and when I send out the contest form notices to the playoff participants I will also send them to the captains.  That way all the captains have to do is click the link in their e-mail and type in the responses...easier than sending them to me even!

We already had two contests.

We used your score from the Jersey contest
I don't remember how you did, though.

But anyway, let's kick some butt on the 16th!

Hey Alfredo
Can you confirm that this is just for one game, the April 16th game?

We can still do it Dave's way if he prefers, but if it's just one game, and especially if it's the last game when the playoffs are down to a couple of folks, it might not be that bad if we all enter.

by Section323 on Mar 31, 2008 11:09 PM PDT   0 recs

Yah
I assumed he meant "your cumulative score after the Phoenix game".  If he just meant the ACTUAL Phoenix game then go for it.

Goooooooooooood morning
My idea was only one game to make it easy. I had forget that there were not entries for all people in april.
As Dave has honored me taking charge of this contest I leave the contest in his hands. I agree with any Dave´s decission, even Jscot´s supremacy will be forgotten for some days. Thanks, Dave.
I´ll post the rest of caricatures in great format in next days, so people can recognize someone who is a little difficult to. They are caricatures, you know.
Thanks George.

by amlmart1 on Mar 31, 2008 11:48 PM PDT   0 recs

OK FOLKS, HERE IS THE RULING
It's only one game and only two playoff participants will be entered in that game (as it's the last of the season) so...

EVERYBODY ENTER AWAY ALL YOU WANT!!!  YAAAYYY!

I will post the link to that game on the site if you remind me.

You may resume normal contest chatter after remembering to thank amlmart because he is the CHAMPION of INTERESTING COMMENTS and NIFTY DRAWING.

(In fact we shall make that an official Blazersedge title along with the current Poobah of Prognostication and Poet Laureate.)

For the Phoenix game (and the Phoenix game ONLY) for the purposes of amlmart's contest I will post the game form link publicly so everyone from your team can enter.

Hrrmmm.
This is a good ruling, but you threw a clunker in there on one of those statements, Alfredo.  There are certain things that should never, ever, ever be forgotten, if one wants to be...

...safe.

I'm frequently right, but always certain
