I bring you the... Shield of History:
(http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/historyshield.gif)
As the shield tells the story a nation was burned out from their home and they set sail for another land. After some days they found a beatiful place to live. For years they lived there and consturcted a mighty stone tower. From the tower they saw the same tribe who once destroyd their home. A war started.The barbarians lost and thei leader was killed and the nation had it's revenge.

The AGS Family shield bearing the sacred big blue cup the mouse and brush of hope and the enchanted screen of green letters.
It has been dented due to the battle of change which started here

Say no to changing roger they said

psych0f0X.......was that oh really a "good" rly or a "bad" o rly

I think he was referring to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_RLY_owl).

" Wait thats not rain"

my god ur funny :P but that doesnt really answer my question does it ::)
im a paranoid idiot ;D
Yeah it does. It was just a small reference to internet pop-culture ;)
You happened to draw an owl on your sheild, and there happened to be an internet phenomenon based on an owl and the term 'o rly', so Psychofox parodied the internet phenomenon by adding the term 'o rly' to your sheild. It wasn't a stab at you so don't worry about it.
btw, Shade, that looks really good ;) I never played any Zelda games but that sheild looks real neat!
well thanks :)
Link's shield is probably the only thing i can draw/paint so that it looks quiet good. :P
thanx for explaining that to me haha
yeah i think shade is deffinatly gonna win this he deserves it ;D
That's a bit hasty, don't you think. There are a lot of good entries and 9 days to go... I'm not saying Shade's isn't very good, I'm just saying, please don't try to effect the judges thinking. Besides it's not critics lounge. Don't take this as I was acting like a moderator, I'm just a bit hang-over-ish 8)
if i was trying to sway the desission dont u think id do that for my own ::) so to refrase yeah i think everyones entry is very good...so far... ;D and the clear favorite of a few people is shade so because of the comments it looks like he is goona win!!!
is that better
;)
true true
Its The spider shield.

Battle hardened shield of the Ogre Tooth Clan.
Uh, dunno if this entry really counts, as I've edited the shape of the shield quite a bit, but here goes. :P

It's the Proto Shield! :D
Almost time to announce some winners, If you were still planning on entering your runnig out of time. Also as there has been some concern about biasing do to posts I'm going to show my wife just the images (she already understands the process and rules) and let her pick. that way you can be assured that my choice wasn't biased by posts.
Right, well I started this sprite enthusiastically as soon as this AGS colouring ball contest started.
I had then re-read the specification and discovered I was heading down the wrong road and gave up...
As you can see I went for a more taxidermy route, not quite a shield but completly original. And I kept the shape of the shield!?
So I thought Id share it rather than not enter...
If you'll accept it as an entry, this is my entry.
If not, well I had fun doing it before I discovered the real wants within the guidance plan.
Great shields everyone!

I must admit that part of the reason I wanted my wife to judge was that all the sheilds were really impresive and if I could have given you all first I would have. But, alas, I made my wife pick just three.
Palikka 1st Place- shield of the sun (http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/tocsik/shieldsun.gif)
lilemX 2nd place- shield of the moon (http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/tocsik/shield2moon.gif)
KristjanMan 3rd place- (excellent idea) shield of the stars (http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/tocsik/shieldstars.gif)
Illustrious- honourable mention - Impresive even if it didn't quite fit the theme.
take it away Palikka
Yes! I win! I RULE! \o/ \\o o// \o/
Thanks Tocsiks wife :) New one coming up.
thank you tocsiks wife for the second
wow 2 3rd places in a row ;D ;D ;D :)
