Ahoy, bunch!

No, I don't need a new avatar!

I want you to combine two or more goglodyte avatars and draw, paint, build, or sculpt the result. For example, you might imagine F4LL0UT's Citizen Kabuto avatar wearing Crewdroog's pink bunny ears. Then draw or otherwise create that mental picture. To be clear, I'm not interested in photoshops or cut & paste. That is, don't hack up two avatars in paint.exe and make me an avatar-sized result. Instead, imagine the combination and then create an image yourself. A big image, please! Avatars are way too tiny.

I'll give two prizes of GOG games worth $6.00 each. (You can wait for a sale and spend it efficiently!) I'll judge one image based on some combination of skill, wit, cleverness and loveliness. I'll let my kids (2 and 5) choose the other. Who the hell knows what they'll pick.

***Extra prize: Someone generous, anonymous, and keen to see more entries has donated Impossible Creatures to the prize pool, to be awarded by my curiously patient wife. Thank you!

***Another extra prize: Gnostic has donated a code containing the recently departed Duke Nukem games: Duke Nukem 3D Atomic edition, Manhattan Project, Duke Nukem 1 & 2, and Balls of Steel. Unsure as yet how this one will be awarded. Feel free to make suggestions, all! Thanks bunches, Gnostic!

Deadline: Very end of January. Don't sweat time zones. I'll be flexible.

Please attach your image in this thread. Also, please include the names (and avatars, if you like) of the goglodytes who you've mashed together. (You can wait a while before revealing the names of the goglodytes, if you wish, as it might be fun for us all to guess. Just try to include the names before the deadline.)

Feel free to be daft.

It's very likely I've confused everybody. Please ask questions. Enjoy!

----
Also, I'll be considering the submissions in this other thread as part of this competition, even though the requirements were a bit different.

edit:
Again, please create the images yourself. I'm not looking for existing internet images cobbled together.

edit 2:
Zeogold is hosting a more general art competition this month, and you're invited to crosspost any submissions here over there, too!

sweet! Hahahaha, I already have some fun ideas :) *goes to get sketch pad*
I'll cook something up...

Thanks for starting this giveaway! +1
Sweet.

I will take full credit for this. :)

It will have to wait until tomorrow for me to enter, though. See you then!
I'm no artist, but I'm just here from the partnered giveaway to say that you guys can also visit there if you'd rather try some other form of art. Write a story/ballad about the various members of GOG, if you like. The prizes aren't nearly as good, but the point is to spark creativity and encourage you folks to have fun.
Also, +1.

By the way, all this drawing stuff reminded me of a contest I did... about a year and a half ago. The Vault Boy Photoshop Contest. I never did do a sequel to that, though I wouldn't rule that out in the future. Anyways, a lot of great entries to be seen:

Good news: I'm not in but +1

Bad news: Now all giveaways are art based, and I am not in the least artistic so I'll never be joining them. :P

You don't have to be an artist for mine. Writing, music, puzzles, anything creative will do.

Then try something! I never said it had to be good. Remember, Klumpen the uber-artisan is no longer the judge. Now it's me, the wisecracking, half-insane Puzzlemaster who might just end up picking something that makes him laugh. You never know.

I could probably win a drinking contest vs. all of gog if that counts as anything?

If you brew some beer/make your own alcohol and post a picture of it, I'll accept that as an entry. Cooking is an art of its own.
