Theo - Story 2, Chapter 5 Two enormous groups of men were lined up in droves on opposite sides of the city. The men at the eastern side had leopard spots tattooed across their faces and parrot feathers in their hair. Some of them carried blow darts, others wielded bows and tar-covered arrows. Scattered amongst the fighters were several hungry-looking leopards, each cat twitching in anticipation of the imminent bloodbath.
At the western end of town, the battalion carried firearms and bore war paint that matched the striped patterns on their loyal Bengal tigers. In the very middle of the street, the leaders o

Theo - Story 2, Chapter 4     Under the light of the full moon, Knives jumped swiftly and silently over the rooftops of Blackchapel, coming to a stop over a bright red building. She glanced at her map to make sure that this was the sheriff's house, and seeing that it was, she hopped onto the ground and spotted an open window.
     "This is going to be a piece of cake," she thought.
     She stealthily crawled into the house, barely disturbing the dust on the windowsill. Once inside, she was shocked to see the plethora of valuable-looking clothes and artworks that filled the shabby old room

Theo - Story 2, Chapter 3     Side-by-side, Daniel and Campren hiked over rocks, streams, and large patches of odd grasses. Campren was already finding himself liking Daniel exponentially more than Theo. There were two reasons for this: firstly, Daniel never complained about Campren's pace, even though the lad was clearly used to travelling at a brisker speed. Secondly, he didn't insist on giving any lectures on destiny. In fact, he had been silent for most of the journey.
     "You don't seem like you're from the book," Daniel asked abruptly.
     "Wha--? Oh, you mean The Book of Stories.

Theo - Story 2, Chapter 2 Arrows of light flitted through the threes as the sun crawled up morning sky. Campren was overjoyed to finally have some sunlight; he'd been having a great deal of difficulty keeping up with Theo in the dark without tripping on the ferns and vines that littered the forest floor.
"Can we stop and rest for a minute?" Campren asked in between gasps for breath. "You wouldn't believe how much walking I've done these past few days."
He was already regretting his choice to tag along with Theo. He realized in retrospect that he should have expected things to get rough when Theo had opted to take a shortcut through a tropical forest

Theo - Story 2, Chapter 1 Once again, it was Campren's wedding day. The sun streamed elegantly through the stained glass windows of the church, creating a kaleidoscope effect that filled the entire room--just as it had at the actual wedding. But this wedding day and the real one were radically different.
For one thing, none of the people present had attended the real wedding. They'd all been dead at the time. Campren's parents, grandparents, friends, dentist, physical therapist, psychiatric therapist, mailman, alcoholic neighbor, and dozens of others all sat happily in the church pews. It was as if they'd never been dead at all, though some had passed a

Theo - Story 2, Introduction     "There you have it," Knives declared proudly as she leaned against the recently commandeered stagecoach. "A vehicle and an identity, just like you asked for. What do you think?"
     "Everything's perfect," the strapping stranger said softly, tipping his hat. "Thank you, Miss Knives. You have my eternal gratitude."
     "Yeah, yeah. Now, where's the 'priceless treasure' that you promised me?"
     "Right here," the stranger responded as handed a gleaming sword to Knives. "It's called the Sword of Reinn. It's shockingly lightweight and

RUBE GOLDBERG HATES YOUR GUTSby =TG-Garfieldo

Digital Art / Vector / Other

For those of you wondering, Rube Goldberg was a cartoonist who drew crazy machines such as this: [link] . Although his inventions were never actually created, they inspired many real-life contraptions that would later be known as 'Rube Goldberg machines'. [link]

Round 5 title card. I had meant to create title cards for the other four, but this is the only one that I actually managed to put together.

[EDIT] HOLY. FLAMING. MOTHER. OF. GRAVY. You're kidding me. This is some kind of cruel joke, right? It's not? Excuse me while I go scream like a schoolgirl. A manly schoolgirl, of course.

(I know it's just a feature and not technically an award, but it's more than I ever expected to get!)

[EDIT 2] Several of you have requested a print, and since I've never been one to turn down other people's money . . . [link]

I can't help but think of the suicide booths on that one old show, Futurama...

Hey, my little sister is doing a science project where she has to build something like this and then I'm going to help her film it. Is it alright if I use this awesome picture in the film?

=TG-Garfieldo Apr 26, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Sure!

I'd be honored!

~Rosemarri Apr 26, 2012

Sweet! Thanks!

I love this! This is excellent <3

Rube Goldberg machines are awesome. We did one in high school as a Physics project. Anyway, to your art: I loved the analogy you made here. It's creative yet simple, and the way you arranged the words was fun. Awesome job.

Beautiful work! I love you!

That video was absolutely amazing!

~dj-moondancer Feb 25, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Very cool.

~IoanNemos Feb 24, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I've always loved Rube Goldberg machines, but the moral of this one just adds another element of awesome.

Well done. I love the typography and the color scheme.
