Simply awesome!
Bur Brinn, how come you chose to draw a penguin as the hero of might and magic?

That was amazing. I had completely forgot about drawing that picture! haha

Worth the wait? Yes.

Oddwen, your picture was probably the freakiest thing I've seen in a long time!

Aganzir, your SPM was adorable!

Congratulations on completion, everyone! 'Awesome' doesn't begin to express the hitherto undreamt-of heights of insanity attained here.
And I'd like to throw my hat into the ring for the next round.

Because penguins are mighty and magical creatures. Just ask Lommy.

I mean, I could've drawn something obvious like say, Gandalf....but drawing a penguin was so much more fun.

Hahaha! I love how certain themes occurred almost through the entire round.

Thanks for modding Form (even if it did take eight months and you mixed up the order of Hook's & my sentences ). It was a good idea to use a Tolkien quote as the original text, actually I had thought of doing it too if I ever modded a round.

Thanks! I've plenty of experience in drawing Saucie, you know.

Things I loved especially:
-wilwa's boat with the speech bubble, it was a great way to carry across the meaning of the sentence
-LadyBrooke's sentence
-Oddwen's crazy grinning Noldor
-Greenie's anarchist dwarves (and one of them looks a little like me!)
-Mnemo's idea, it was quite original. Actually it'd be interesting to do an entire round with photos...
-TGEW's sentence
-Eönwë's viking & the swan's speech bubble
-Nog's "Rune gets carried away while cutting the hedge"
-Hook's squirrel. Cuteness!
-Legate's picture idea! It's hilarious. So did you actually play a whole game with those characters or just stage a fight?
-Rune's sentence
-Brinn's picture. It's simply funny.
-Might's sentence
-Ka's pic. I love it!
-spawn's picture. Especially the Helsinki Cathedral!
-Lauri's pic. The colours are great and penguins cute.
-Rune's Sky Viking
-Eönwë's "Dread Norseman"
-Nog's pic, absolutely hilarious
-Isabell's bathing penguins
-Lommy's picture. Faramir has a dirty expression!
-Might's pic

I'd like to sign up for the next round too... And I'd like to draw rather early because if the volcanic ash cloud dissolves by June, I might be more or less unavailable for drawing.

I'd offer to mod too but as I said, June-July will be a bit bad for me...

I'll take the mantle again, if no one else wants it.

Those who have signed up...

Anyone else.

I have some ideas for this one that may or may not happen.
