Contest #1: MLG Dallas Cheerfuls! - ANZ Invasion!

The Australian pride that will be @ MLG Dallas!
What is a cheerful?
Signs created by fans held at live events to cheer on their favourite player.
Think of "WE LOVE XXX" placards at rock concerts. And since this is eSports, its now much cooler.

Asthetics, Humor, Effort, Creativity
How do I submit my entry?
Simply reply to this thread with it!
Who will determine the winners?
"Dead Poet's Society" - The SC2SEA News Team + SC2SEA Staff
Contest #2: eSport Moments! - Oceanic Memoirs!
Don't have the graphical talent? Well don't worry, all you need is the writing talent! Share your favourite eSports moment in Oceania this year.
A recap e.g "10 Great ANZ eSports Moments this year" etc and so on.
The sky's the limit the only condition is this contest has to be about ANZ event / players. If you aren't from ANZ do not worry, you can still write about it from the streams you saw and the players you know!
4 keys will be given away from this contest.

Contest #3: Get involved in with ANZ eSports!
Don't have any graphic or writing talent? Or perhaps you're just plain lazy! Give me the key already you say?! Well fret not, here is an easy way to get involved, a contest that depends on nothing but sheer luck!
Have fun raging at inbalanced shit. right now protoss is apparently on the upper end of that, but only mothership core feels strong right now.
For the comment below:
Yeah warhound nerf removed mech play alltogether. They need to add something else so we can see the mech option again coz bio is gay.
Here's my No. 2, My art definitely sucked.... least I still tried.....I'm more a professional Musician (Double Licentiates even in Piano for Recital ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall, plus one more Diploma in Music and Audio Tech.... sheesh) than a graphical designer....
Can tell, I'm actually kinda desperate for my very first Blizzard CBT game.
Cheers.

Reason: Changed as bumped by Chad
Spent almost 3 hours making this and had so much fun I have never made anything before with photoshop so I basically had to learn everything from youtube
But, +1 for effort surely? :P
Hope you enjoy!
Edit: In case you are wondering, "Taran Varad" means "Your name be honoured" in Khalani (Protoss language).

Was trying to find the cutest kangaroo that i could, vs the evil world.
Seems a little cramp. Don't like the placements of the Team Logo's, but i think they should be in it.
Sort of want race logo's too. Might work on it. Feedback welcome.
Took about 2 hours editing pixels in MSPaint. I've got that zergling as a 20+ meg file, had to edit out the background.
Edit1: What happened to my image? The link is now dead?!
it's so cute! : D
Loving all the pics so far! And as Leg said - Keep them simple, so people watching on stream can actually understand and read what it says!
People like hand drawn art too n_n
Please don't take this as insulting - its not intended to be - i just want some damn good pics going there with them.
An issue i see with some of the pictures is how much information is contained within them.
You have to remember they will be viewed in a sub optimal environment.
- The lighting will be unknown (some places are dark, some are more lit).
- And the camera will not be straight on.
- Whoever is holding it will be moving it a bit.
- It will only be shown for a few seconds at most.
Yet with all of this, the information contained within the picture has be given across to the viewers.
Some of these are awesome for web viewing / and even for the pics that are put into the players booths (as the camera ppl can zoom in on a still image). But not necessarily good for showing from the crowd.
If you are going to try to do one i think you should remember:
- Simplicity of idea that you are trying to get across.
- Colour scheme choice / Contrast of colours is very important. (thats why most ppl have white/black/red)
I think even mine has too much information in it, and i'm thinking of taking out the team logo's / names, and mine is the least busiest of all of them.
That way all that is left is the central theme. Aus vs the World.
you can find it on this site. hope u like it im not a really art pro and i couldnt post it here in the forum cause my pc is too slow. waiting 4 my new one........
i hope for a beta key but never have luck in such competitions.
gl hf everyone
i want a beta, a beta key. i cant draw so i ll try it here. i want to support my favourite team i hope they win the m l g.
i i follow, i follow you thats why i write this i follow you.
no matter if toss or zerg or terraaaaaaa. its always an awesome game if u play it yes!!!!.
I just got the best idea for a cheerful for my favorite SEA Terran ever >

Alright trying my luck with this. Who needs to sit around and study anyway? ;]
Might've gone a bit overboard, but I kept coming up with more ideas haha. Feel free to give criticism. Tried to get a kind of vector'd style to keep it simple (and because I can't draw faces well). Used some other pieces for reference, mainly for the face shape and the armour.
