Well,,,,, here we go again!
Due to the Huge successs of our art contest for the Inferno I thought I would give players another shot at using their creative skills and be a part of our new product development.
We are looking for art for our new Beadless Wizard Called The WARLOCK.
We are looking for line art used for Hot stamping as well as a cool font or drawn text for the word Warlock.
The winner of the contest will receive $500.00 in merch from Gateway, in the event there is a combination of art used the winners will split the $500.00.
There should be no lines bigger than 1/4 inch thick and no areas too solid, Dot Gain Shading is acceptable and aything from a front view head only or full body, side view to a view down the arm to the hand at a basket with magic dust flying towards it sounds cool.
Please Submit all art to
[email protected] for consideration.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to another fun time checking out all the cool graphics over the hliday season!!

What kind of timeline are you looking for on this? Got a couple of ideas I'm working on but didn't know how much time there was to tweak it.. :)

I liked Warlocks best when used by Lita Ford. Mandatory fish net stockings.

We finally started getting some art in last night and today.
I am guessing we will except art for about 2 weeks and then run a contest for the best 6 that will last another week.
There is plenty of time.
Last time we did this for the inferno I got over 70 pieces of art.
People can send just fonts or just head shots, we wound up using a combination from 2 differnet people last time.

I guess you guys didnt get my PM before you left.
It was raining here in St louis that Wednesday anyway, are you driving back through anytime soon?
We should all play a round together.
Centralia is about an hour from downtown St Louis heading east, it would be well worth the stop, I know Steve would like to see it, the course record is 65 ( -6 ,, par 71) and we havent even put in the long pins yet!!
Please feel free to send in some art, even if it is a hand drawn sketch.!!
Boneman, does you guy have acape and sword?
I received several today!
Keep em coming,,, only a few are wroth of the final 6 for the voting part of the contest!

Me playing around with some text ideas. I can't draw too well, but this might go well with a line drawing of some sort. Maybe some artist could come up with a silhouette of a warlock face?

that stamp gets my vote, idk what the difference would look like in drawing of a warlock v a wizard, the funny part is according to dictionary.com a warlock is also a war�lock (w�r'lŏk') Pronunciation Key
n. A male witch, sorcerer, wizard, or demon.
sounds like the warlock is a couple of gds discs.

Will,
We over nighted your man unit discs, they should be there tomorrow.
We went ahead and sent about 80 discs.
Since we were over nighting them I figured you should have a wide variety for your event this weekend.
I'm not sure where they got sent I have to call Justin,,
one minute,,,,,,,, he didnt answer.
I think they went to shane's house.
Will that be a problem?

Will,

Dave my teacher got your email said he was going to make some final changes and send them into you tomorrow or Monday.
Since we talking about stamps are we going to be able to do anything with my stamp I sent you?
gdstour
Jan 05 2007, 01:04 AM
Justin, we should work on your stamp a bit before we go into production on that one.
why don't you do a local course stamp as a fundrasier or Mississippi state stamp or SN stamp or something that would be appealing to a wider audience!
scooop08
Jan 05 2007, 01:09 AM
I'm talking with the SN board right now to make sure everything would be fine with them to do that. I figured if we do start a SN stamp put it on Wizards first to make sure it would sell since they are the biggest sellers.
I knew mine wouldn't be appealing to other people I was looking for it more as use on my disc but then though about how annoying it would be to do special stamps so what ever works.
In 2 weeks I'm going to put my home course back in but its mostly going to be a pitch and putt course but I'm going to have it looking nice and as challenging I can with what I'm working with.
My school is also starting the club this week we just turned in some information to the principal today that should let us have a meeting to see who would be interested.

Well the amount of art coming in seems to have slowed down to crawl. I have received about 30 pieces of art.
If there is anyone that is thinking about submitting art for the warlock please get in touch with me or send it in soon.
I will wait until sunday and I think we could still use 1 or 2 more for a good contest and poll.
Please get your final art in ASAP!
JD, Michale, Brad and others!!! :cool:
