Announcing the TCS Egg Coloring Contest!





Download the picture to your computer and start decorating.
When you are done, upload your decorated egg onto Photobucket or other image hosting site, and then copy and paste it here, like this:



The last day for entries is Saturday, April 11, 2009.
Winners will be determined through a member vote after the deadline.
Prizes
1st Place - 25,000 points
2nd Place - 15,000 points
3rd Place - 10,000 points
The top three winners will also have a smaller version of their eggs displayed in their signatures for the rest of April.
Rules:
- You must use the template provided
- Only one entry per member
- Use of photos is not allowed
- To even the playing field, professional graphics programs such as Photoshop, GIMP, PaintShop Pro and Illustrator are not allowed . You must use Paint or another similar basic program.
Have fun and be creative!

Hmm. Not sure how that's going to work. I've never used anything except Photoshop. I'm not sure I even have another program on my computer.

MS Paint should be on just about every Windows-based computer.

If you have a Microsoft OS, you have Paint!

Does it have to be your egg? This is one I did a couple of years ago.

Paw prints! (And the usual mess that results.
)

I have GIMP and Mypaint....
I'd really rather not have to install Kolourpaint since that's for KDE and I'd have to install a bunch of other stuff due to dependencies.

Probably best I don't bother anyways! I've done pixel art out of boredom before, so limited palette and no brushes is easiest enough to work around.

Okay, just need to think of how I can incorporate my hunky angel on this one.
