HOLY COW we are blown away by the murder boards that you made!!! It was truly impossible to pick the top three, because they were all so creative and thorough, so congrats to our FIVE winners:
Calling all truth-seekers, mystery-solvers, and organization-enthusiasts!!
Right here, on the Maxine Miles tumblr, we are going to be running a different kind of fanart competition: a murder board competition.
What does this mean? Well, as you can see in the above “Week 1” murder board (or conspiracy board, scrub down - whatever vocabulary you prefer), with each new episode comes a new clue, and a new addition to Max’s board. But is she catching all the clues? Is she making all the connections?
We want YOU the listener to make your very own board untangling the disappearance of Riley Stevens (and any other Hastings mysteries that might come up…). Over the course of the next 8 episodes, we want you to listen carefully, come up with clues and questions, and add them to a board of your own that you’ll submit to us before the finale comes out. This board can be visual art, as ours is, a word document, a collage, a pinterest, a physical board, a slideshow…anything that you can submit to us digitally (or a photo of).
The makers of our three favorite boards will be emailed the finale an entire day early. After we pick our winners, we’ll ask them which ending they think is correct and send it to them on 4/19, a whole 24 hours before all the endings drop in the RSS feeds!
Okay, now for all the official rules stuff:
The contest runs from now until midnight PT on 4/14, but wait as long as you want to submit! We know you’ll want to be gathering clues until the last second.
You may only submit one board, but feel free to collaborate with friends! Should you win, you all must decide on an ending together that will be sent to all of you.
You must be 18+ or have at least one 18+ person on your team who submits.
Art can be stuff you’ve previously posted on here - just be sure to officially submit it through the submission tool
You must be comfortable with turning on your messaging so we can get your email address to send you your chosen ending (this contest isn’t associated with Tumblr and you’ll be giving your information to us, not Tumblr)
The boards can be any kind of visual art, whether drawings, graphic design, crafts, etc. Unfortunately, we can’t read fanfiction for this contest, but of course, written notes on your boards are very welcome!
All the submissions will be published on this Tumblr once the contest winners have been announced - by submitting to the contest, you agree to have your submission shared!
Drew one of @maskshop‘s dolls! They’re having a contesty-thing right now, this might count as a submission for it? Either way, I was so happy to stumble upon their work because it is all incredibly inspiring and gorgeous! I may draw up a few more <3
She is beautiful! This definitely counts as a submission and I love it!
Happy Rockman Day! Here are your tasks for this year’s edition, if you would like to join in my 11th annual-ish Megaman Summer Fanart Contest. Deadline is a little shorter than normal (Aug. 14th), but still gives you 2+ months to draw. See more below.
Three categories, in which you are allowed to submit one entry for each category, if you would like. If you place in one category, you will be automatically disqualified from the other, for reasons of fairness, and to give other people a chance to win a prize.
CATEGORY 1: Under my Nombrellan
For those who are always happy when it rains. While they can also be powerful and destructive, I think a lot of us can appreciate and enjoy a sudden summer storm or downpour of rain. Sometimes you just have to enjoy splashing in puddles or getting drenched in an outdoor shower, and that fresh and clean smell as nature purifies everything.
For this category, your goal is to draw a scene with the characters of your choice with an umbrella as an accessory in a rainy setting. This can be a standard umbrella of your own design or including Mega Man characters that have umbrellas as part of their design (like Nombrellan, Rackaser, Cloudy Viruses, etc.) It can be a beach pic where rain ruins a day catching some shade under a huge beach umbrella. It can involve relaxing under a simple patio umbrella. Whatever creative way you can think of, as long as it involves an umbrella and a rainy day scene.
Content Requirements:
* Megaman character(s) of your choice
* Umbrella
* Rainy day scene
CATEGORY 2: Rockman World Amusement Park
Another rite of summer has been visiting an amusement park, whether it’s the end of school field trip or for family fun. We’ve had the Hanayashiki park events in Japan in the past, but what if we had a full-fledged Mega Man amusement park in the vein of Nintendo having their Super Mario World park?
For this category, I’d like you to create a Megaman-themed amusement park scene, with your favorite characters interacting in some type of ride or attraction at this park. You are welcome to get as creative as you like, so if you want to make like a full park map with multiple attractions in your hypothetical park, go for it! But you will be mainly judged on the specific scene you draw, and how creative your ride/attraction is, to fit within this Rockman World concept.
Content Requirements:
* Design your own Mega Man-themed amusement park ride(s) or attraction(s)
* A scene with characters interacting on one of these rides/attractions
CATEGORY 3: Boing Boing Inflatable Pool Ride-Ons
This is the summer contest, so since the main categories aren’t really swimsuit-themed at all, I figured I’d keep a third category if you still want to draw your faves in their beachwear.
Bounce Man and Boing Boing Industries are expanding their rubbery business ventures into the world of inflatable pool ride-ons, rafts and floaty accessories. For this category, you can draw your favorite Megaman characters relaxing, reclining, or playing around in the water on a specially-designed, Megaman-themed pool floaty raft or ride-on character. It can be whatever you want - item like an inflatable ride chaser or Item 2, a character like Rush or Cygnus Wing, or whatever, as long as the inflatable is also Megaman-related in design.
Content Requirements:
* Design a Megaman-themed pool inflatable ride-on, raft, or flotation accessory
* A scene with the Megaman character(s) of your choice interacting/relaxing in the water on one of these inflatables
PRIZES:
Inflation is killing us all, and shipping is still rough everywhere. So still no physical prizes, but much needed cash for you to use as you please.
The winners for each category will receive the following:
When you submit, I would prefer you to include the following information in this format, along with your entry:
• (Your name/preferred alias) – As much as I usually know who you are, there’s always someone new or somebody who has a different preference from what their email name says.
• (Category this entry is for) – You can either say ½/3, or Umbrella/Amusement Park/Pool Inflatables
Only submit your own work, as usual. Any character, major or minor, from any series is allowed. OCs are allowed, as long as your art contains at least one canon Megaman character.
As always, participants are allowed to submit from all over the world.
Paypal is still the preferred method for cash prize payouts. Please have a valid account to receive your winnings.
Youngin’s, get your parents permission before entering.
Entries do not need to be colored, but it is preferred. The more effort put into things as always, the better chance you have!
Entries can either be e-mailed to me at rock2125[at]hotmail[dot]com, or you can just PM/note me a link to your pic.
DO NOT post your pics in this journal, your dA galleries, Twitter, tumblr blogs, other sites, etc. until the contest is over. This is the fairest way for competitive reasons. I prefer to keep them all secret until the deadline has passed. I’ll edit a confirmed entry list in this thread when I receive them. So you won’t be in the dark about whether or not I’ve received your entry.
DEADLINE:
The deadline for this contest will be:
Sunday, August 14th, 2022 by 11:59PM, global end of day.
This gives you over 2 months to finish your entry!
I’m making it a little earlier than normal, both as a little wiggle room for an extension if necessary, and to not prolong results into September like it has been recently. Figured maybe the shorter deadline might help participation too. We’ll see.
MISCELLANEOUS INFO:
- As usual, If you don’t plan to enter, but would like to help me judge, please let me know through DM or mention so here. Never hurts to have extra opinions on all the entries.
Bug me with questions if you have any. Please join in, and good luck to everyone who enters!
