All done now...
The winner is... Gemma Bright, with her colourful character "Essar". Geddit? S... R? Essar? Genius. And here he/she/it is.

Congrats Gemma, you've won the game of your choice, worth up to the value of £50 (check the rules and conditions on Gameaday.co.uk for more details)
-------------------------------------
After the debacle that was the Mag Shoot competition (in which people singularly failed to take any exciting pictures of their magazine but decided to take photos of it in mid-air for some reason), it's time to come back down to earth with a good old fashioned Extra GAD.
What we want you to do for this competition is easy; we want you to design a mascot for Special Reserve. Okay, chances are we're not going to use it, but we want to see what you can come up with. You can be as imaginative and out-there as you want (you can even be zany and bonkers!!!1), as long as you come up with a half-decent effort. If you really wanted, you could take it seriously and actually design a good one! Winning entries will win a game of their choice, the value depending on how good the entry is and what kind of mood I'm in. I'm expecting better entries for this one than the last competition. Please lord.
You've got until midnight June 15th to come up with a Special Reserve mascot, try and incorporate some SR-ness into him, like our example, Splatty here. You can post your entries in this thread if you wish, or send them to the usual Gameaday or Competitions e-mail address, or post them to Special Reserve Mascot Competition, Internet Department, 2 South Block, The Maltings, Sawbridgeworth, Herts, CM21 9JX.
It's all just a bit of fun! Hop to it, you cheese-eating monkeys!

It probably takes ages to learn though, and in the end a pencil and pad is cheaper.

It sort of jumps out of the page and kicks you in the knadgers.

I find it really easy to draw in paint, used to it I guess. Can I just import the file as a bitmap into a drawing package as save it at a decent resolution?

In fact I know a lot of you cats have used Flash. My mascot could easily be done in flash.....
You can do art like that on adobe illustrator/photoshop - I had to do one on work experience.
The package on the devil is due to his tight attire, why was you looking around there... both of you! heh

You should get your hands on a vector package though, to get rid of them darn jaggies! Freehand & illustrator are high end but I find Fireworks is pretty good(I did a lot of my banners in it) or even Flash for clean drawing.

Thanks Kyz! All I ever do is draw.....
I drew it free hand and scanned it in, then I fixed it up in....erm...Freehand(Macromedia). I'd never used it before so it didn't come out as well as I thought. Think I'll do the next one in illustrator....it might be Beards!?
