These are a few ideas I found from Fenric while searching through some old posts. Feel free to submit any ideas you may have for future contests. The contest for this coming week is already decided on, so these will be used for the following week.

+ Picture of how you think Xen should have looked, had you the choice back in the beginning

+ Draw a picture of one of the known HL1 or HL2 aliens, can use anything legal for reference but everything you do has to be hand drawn, doesn't matter how you do it, sketched, painted, scanned etc.

+ You wake up early one morning and look out of your window to see something very strange and scary outside, what is it? Draw what you see, you can use photo's taken from your bedroom and use images you find so long as their ok to use like that

+ Your best friend who is a serious HL fanboy is having a birthday and because your in a silly mood you decide to bake him a HL style cake. Draw a pic of how it would look. Only rule is it must be original and actually possible to make, so nothing silly, keep it believable

+ create a screenshot of a HL2 video game.. BUT, in the style of a game from the 8bit computers of old (C64, Spectrum etc.), pixel artists should like this one. Make it look like it really was a screenshot from one of those machines. and remember, they only had a few colors to spare so don't forget dithering and making do with limited resolutions
 
I like the one about wakin up to somethin scary, and the Xen alien one.

i agree. hl2 alien sounds good. maybe u could post what the other contests have been in the beggining bit as well, to help newbs to realise whats allready been done. i had to look through loads of posts when coming up with an idea, just to see that it hadnt allready been done.

That's what I'm trying to accomplish with that other thread, it's just taking a while and I'm too busy this second to upload the rest. In case you were wondering, where I left off is around page 6~ish of old posts.
 
i knew that as the last pic u posted was from contest 5. lol
 
bleh to hand drawing stuff =\ makes it teh suck for those of us who have no scanner/skill.
 
Makes it teh suck who don't have photoshop skillz. Or even photoshop. I know, it's no excuse.
We should have to make a model alien!
