Hello, rosy-cheeked plebeians! Do you remember our YMCK fanart competition? Well it's over now, and I'm pleased to announce that bloody victory has been achieved by...

Joob

...who did this:

It's a YMCK-themed PLASTICINE PLANET, inspired by the band's music videos. In Joob's own words:

Featuring;
the castle, temple, houses, mountains from starlight,
Race track from Panic Racers,
And YMCK's logo surrounded by tetris blocks

So basically it's a big ball of NEATO. Here's the other side:

Pretty awesome, right? Joob even made a slightly dizzying animated .GIF to properly flaunt his splendid handiwork, which you can see by clicking here. (Mirror here.)

Congratulations, Joob! Readers, why not drop by the competition forum thread, and thank Joob, and in fact all our entrants, for sharing their excellent whatsits with us.

SPECIAL MENTION: Forum member chuanoplast almost won, with her adorable and epic cut-out videogame mural. Here's the bit with YMCK in it:

...but you can see the whole thing, and you really ought to, over at her flickr set. I recommend viewing the large versions of each image, to fully enjoy the artwork and all the little details. Totally gorgeous work, chuanoplast -- please enter our next competition, too!

OKAY WELL DONE GUYS, SEE YOU NEXT TIME. JOOB WINS A CD AND THINGS.

Well fiddle-dee-dee, it's time for another visit to the Magnificent All-Seeing Eye! Try not to soil your pants in terror as we WRITE THINGS about... Q*bert fanart!

Dun dun DUNNN!

Hey there should be a sequel to Q*bert called Q*ernie. Guys did you catch my hilarious joke just then.

YMCK
Fanart Competition

You there! Do you like things? Of course you do! Well we HAVE THINGS. Things that soon, YOU will have – if you can snatch them from our greedy talons, with the power of DRAWING PICTURES!

“What ith thith withardry you thpeak of!?” you sputter violently, so baffled and enraged that your tongue just flops right out and you make a big slobbery mess everywhere. Well calm yourself, dear reader, dab your chin with a sponge, and dear read on.

We all love YMCK. Their tunes are good, their videos are good too, and their live shows are written about on excellent websites by brainy and handsome people. They recently released a new album, and OH MY GOD LOOK!!

Do you know what that is? It is three things, and what they are is...

• YMCK’s brand new album, Family Genesis
• A limited edition YMCK sticker and button set, from their 2007 European tour
• A limited edition and totally freaking rad YMCK gachapon ball, containing a Midori keychain and another little keychain too, I think. I haven’t opened it! It’s not mine! It’s not anyone’s... yet.

ALL THIS CAN BE YOURS!

All you have to do is draw, paint, craft or in some way make some YMCK fanart, and post it in this forum thread. (If you’re not a forum member, it’s free and easy to join, and you don’t have to post anything ever again if you don’t want to.) The All-Seeing Eye will silently, furiously judge all the entries, and choose one fanart as THE GREATEST FANART. The genius responsible for THE GREATEST FANART will win the things!

Entries will be accepted until midnight, February 18, Japan time, or maybe a little longer if I forget to close the thread. You may enter as many times as you like!

By entering, you are granting Eegra Pty Ltd a non-exclusive license to use your entry in whatever way we like, for all eternity!

Please check back in two weeks to see if you won, because if we can’t get in contact with you (to get your postal address and so on), we’ll wait about a week and then give your prize to someone else. What a slap to the face that would be! Don’t make us slap you!

The competition is open to all humans everywhere.

THAT’S IT
THAT’S ALL THE INFORMATION
GOOD-BYE

In honour of Mentioning Chibi-Robo Occasionally Month here at Eegra, the Eye has chosen just that li'l robot helper to receive its perfect and incontrovertible judgement. Let's give a warm hand to the four-inch love machine!

Hey gang! Remember Marche from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance?

...No?

Never mind then. I was going to give you A HUNDRED DOLLARS, but it doesn't matter now.

Introducing The Magnificent All-Seeing Eye Upon deviantART, wherein we take videogame fanart seriously enough to review it. "In God's name, why?" you ask – and we are compelled to reply, do not question the Eye, nor invoke your puny god in Its presence.

The subject of this debut edition: Princess Peach!
