Subject: Mail Sack Se7en Challenge Winners

Skank and I have presided over your artwork for the Mail Sack Challenge. This was a scientific process of agonizing scrutiny, by which I dragged all of your submissions onto a Word document, and we argued at my desk over which of you should win. The debate was brutal and heated. All of you did such great work (and if you believe that, I have an Internship as Skank's masseuse to offer you).

Here are the winners, with profile names and submissions linked for easy art gallery browsing:

jyrine:
For conceptual cleverness and artistic aptitude.

Carolina:
For unexpected metaphorical excellence.

Halo biggest fan:
For pandering to the judges - Skank liked the nametag.

Remorazz:
For thematic genius; and for actually drawing.

T1B3R7uMB0YXVI:
For invoking Bungie lore, and brilliant use of colorful mediums.

The Freik:
For your reference to Norman Rockwell. (Proof)

SpAmMer:
For frightening us into pacifying you. Really. We were concerned you might show up here to claim your prize by force with that pencil, so we are sending you a shirt. However, you must send us a picture that we can post up at Jerome's desk. Stay away from here.

Honorable Mention (not a winner):

UnderTheKnif3:
For your sweet Portal reference. Unfortunately, Halcylon saw your submission over our shoulders and disqualified you - just for being you, apparently. Sorry, dude.

The rest of you need to send me a message in completion of the following survey...

Real Name: (unless your gamertag in on your mailbox)
Street:
City:
State:
Zip:
Country:

Shirt Size:

Thanks for playing! This outrageous Challenge was in recognition of a Sack that was brought to you by the number se7en. This week, the bar will be set much lower.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Congrats everyone. :p

I wish I only had one of those art drawing tablets.

Pro Tip: A touchpad is NOT a good tool for paint.

I can draw a lot better when a pencil.

I know mine was REALLY, REALLY bad. But, I used a touchpad, not a pencil and paper. (I don;t have a scanner either).

I really like Remorazz's submission.

I was kidding; I don't even think yours were that bad. I couldn't even make a serious entry because I suck at all art-related things.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

We had a contest? I've been blacked out too long.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Honestly im a pretty damn good artist. By the time I saw the thread it was too late. I would've loved this. But congrats to the winners :'(

Yeah, we really had to think outside the BAG this week...

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Okay.

Can you make these contests more obvious, I can't find a mention of it anywhere in that,

Definitely not. I couldn't draw myself out of a paper bag (I challenge anybody reading this to create such a drawing).

Buy a refurbished tablet. I got a refurbished Wacom Bamboo pen tablet for under 50 bucks!

Also I haven't update the latest picture xD

We have to get approval first, but I think Deej is almost out of shirts.

And, he has probably spent a fortune shipping all this stuff to people.

Thanks for all that you do Deej.

Sprry, I meant Deej has not approved any type of new contest.
