BioShock Contestgate 07: Win a BioShock Mouse Pad, Xbox 360 Faceplate, and More

Win a faceplate or a mousepad, and a t-shirt! And a syringe pen! And a drink mixer! WOW!

91
As discussed in the ShackCast, we are holding a contest allowing you to win a BioShock Xbox 360 faceplate or mousepad, along with other swag obtained from 2K's launch party.

We want your best Microsoft Paint rendition of a Big Daddy. What's he doing when he's not bringing the pain to Rapture interlopers? Doing his laundry? Does he have a day job? Show us, but please stick to Paint or a similarly rudimentary piece of software. Enter as many times as you like!

Submit your entry by posting a URL in this thread. Hosts include Shackspace if you've got it (33% off Mercury!), Flickr, Photobucket, ImageShack (no relation), TinyPic, and so on. Get your entries in by Monday, 2:00pm CST.

The winner will receive a BioShock syringe pen, light-up drink mixer, medium t-shirt (sorry, big or very little readers), and his or her choice of a BioShock Xbox 360 faceplate or mousepad. The runner-up will receive a t-shirt and whichever item the winner did not choose. Those faceplates are big bucks on eBay!

      I don't think that matters in MS Paint.

      Yeah, love these art contests, it effectively caters to 1% of the site's visitors. I couldn't draw a stick figure to save my life. :(

          Yea, but do us peons have a chance against those who've gone to school for Photoshop skills?

          Now that I think about it, I think I could do a Picasso version of the Big Daddy ....

            Sure. I can do okay in Photoshop but I royally suck at Paint.

          Isn't that like saying "it's a Forza 2 livery contest" ? Skilled artists can make incredible stuff even with shithouse tools, given enough patience.

          Ofc. it depends how you judge things, but if someone did spend 40 hours making an incredible painting in MSPaint then I'd hope they would win, heh.

          (BTW, I don't really have a problem with the contest, just playing Devil's advocate really.)
