can we submit more than one entry?

I didn't specify it in the main post sorry, but I agree, you can submit multiple entries, however only the best will be considered for the rewards :)

Good luck

 

Thanks Raphael2 I got an idea but don't know if the nature favors  because it is contingent

Good luck :)

This is a pic. I took when I was preparing my entry for the contest "Tanki in Ink" for issue 42 of the Tanki Online newspaper. :)

[One of my many stalker pics of him. Not really sure what he was doing in this photo. [Yes, Greyat, I'm still stalking you]]

 

And everyone around me just keeps calling me paranoid...

holy crap! Looks like I actually left a mark on Tanki!

I got my picture stolen for the christmas contest last year, it was submitted by ftf841. I didn't even finish it, the coloring was crappy as he did it. His own didn't show face but with mine he won grand prize. I made a huge fuss about it even showing uncolored copies as I photocopied the penned version 2 times just in case before starting coloring. And now, they are making sure people can prove it's theirs.

 

I actually feel awesome for this!

After spending a decent amount of time (and money, maybe a tad too much) on this entry, here it is in all its glory!

If anyone is interested on how this entry was made, step-by-step images below:

 

 

 

First I made a bunch of designs using Blender, mostly buildings, a few tanks, a gold box.

Next I printed them out on a sheet of paper, and using an X-acto knife, carefully cut each building from a sheet of ordinary office paper. BTW Star Trek!!!

Next step, carefully gluing all those buildings down.

After that, all I had to do was add some lights to the city, so, some $5 Christmas lights were used. I carefully cut X shaped holes in the cardboard base and pushed the lights through, one-by-one.

Before you shout "Fire hazard", the lights were special LED lights, so, barely any heat whatsoever.  You couldn't even feel the bulbs warmth.

Halfway there!

Finally! All I need now, is the tank cutouts, a backdrop, some little white trees, cotton ball bushes, etc. Details.

Here's the whole setup, did I mention I like Star Trek?

So, in all, the thing took about a week to make, and about $15 in supplies:

 

 3x plastic trees $2.25

 LED lights $5.00

 3x posterboard $3.00

 X-acto blades $3.00
