Gobb Needs A New Costume!

[Impalix]

**Let me just make one thing clear. Gobb had no prior knowledge of this contest until it was recently brought to his attention for approval. My insanity is therefore endorsed by the creator of Paradox, and I cannot thank him enough for letting me do this to him.**

So, let's get to the fun.

Many people know Gobb as that witty and wonderful ball of code monkey who makes Paradox such a pleasant place to explore and experience. However, deep beneath that soft and secksey exterior is an undying urge to run around nekkid, naughty bits covered by everyone's favorite pumpkin pal. This Halloween spectacle has become a legend and, let's face it, anyone with a sense of fashion can tell that Gobb has a certain flare for...well, gourd-wear.

Have a good, long look. DO IT.

Your mission is this, should you attempt to complete such a task. Gobb needs a new costume, but what could possibly take the place of his most precious pumpkin? YOU DECIDE.

Using paint, photoshop or any preferred art program, I challenge you to create a new Halloween costume for Gobberwart this year. Be as creative as possible. Number of costume entries is unlimited. All final entries should be uploaded to a photo sharing site with ONLY THE LINKS posted in this forum thread for viewing/judging purposes. This is to reduce lag on the main server.

Prizes will be given to the 3 most creative entries, judged by both myself and Gobb (because come on, he's going to be the one wearing it!). A booby prize will also be given to all participants. Prize ranks are as follows:

1st prize - 10,000 moolah + a LIMITED EDITION halloween outfit
2nd prize - 5,000 moolah + a LIMITED EDITION halloween outfit
3rd prize - 2,000 moolah + a LIMITED EDITION halloween outfit

This outfit was designed by yours truly, so you know it has to be good.

Deadline is Halloween Eve: Thursday, October 30th by intermission.

Questions? Concerns? Simply ask me in game.

LMAO I didn't realise such a high-resolution version of this image existed. Yikes! Sorry everyone for having to look at that.

Please note that this year's costume needs to be slightly smaller, as I've lost 35lbs since that pic was taken. And no, smart-aleck, it *wasn't* achieved through waxing.

Bwaaaaaaaahahahahaahahahahaahahaaaaaaaaa! Those are both awesome! Keep them coming

[DrWolf]

Of course the costume will have to be smaller. I thought the pumpkin was rather generous in the first place...*cough*
Anyway, both of those current entries are awesome. I just wish I had a little bit of talent in that area, cuz I'd soooo get involved. C'est la vie.

[DrWolf]

Ok, so I had to at least TRY.

I don't have an account on any photosharing site, but I do have access to my own webspace. I hope that's acceptable?
Anyway, here goes

You guys crack me up! PLEASE keep them coming

[Impalix]

Seriously, your Richard Simmons obsessions will NOT win this contest. Try harder.

[Impalix]

Just because I wanted to make something fun

Yeah, she wishes she was that hot.

[unknownZ]

Personally I find all the Gob's in dresses kind of creepy...because I wonder if anyone is fantasizing about that. Also, the Richard Simmons ones are hillarious...but I get the feeling Gob does not want to give points to those things that reflect his real dreams and aspirations. Seriously though, I think you guys are doing fantastic.

[Gobberwart]

You think you find all the Gobbs in dresses creepy. How do you think I feel? LOL, seriously it's all fun and I'm really enjoying all the responses so far.

Good job with the inclusion of the gazebo there, Z

On a side note, proficiency with a paint program is NOT a pre-requisite to winning this contest. It's about creativity and humour value (for me anyway) so even if you think you couldn't produce a suitable image to save your life, go right ahead and give it a go anyway. So long as there's no more Richard Simmons.

[Impalix]

Last day for entries, everyone! Give it your best (or worst)!

[unknownZ]

Couldn't resist to do 1 more :p

Classic Family Guy hehehe.

Family guy is one of the best shows out there :p
