Contest closed! Before we begin with announcing the winners of last week, though, let's get to that announcement I mentioned:
It was almost three years ago, in
The New Caption Contest thread. Abandoned, lost, in search of a hero. Little did anyone know that one brave man would soon step up to defend, protect, and continue all that TCC stood for. This brave hero of heroes name was... Deoxys911! Now, the time has finally come. All great (or not so great) things must come to an end, and there is a time and place for everything.
This, is my time. Time to say goodbye. The end of an era is near, and it is approaching even as you read this (Unless you're some crazy future person reading these words from a distant time!). I've had a good run, but admit it: I've overstayed my welcome, anyway. My pictures had a unique charm, at one point, but anymore, who really cares that much for them? My fans have left me, my co-owners abandoned me, submissions have dwindled down to a slow trickle almost every week. It was nice while it lasted, but I know when to call it quits. The time has come to pass the reigns on to a new artist. Someone who can handle the weekly spriting, someone who can handle the judging, someone who can handle the art of Caption. Is it you? Perhaps the next artist is reading this, right now. In fact, I'd bet money on him or her being closer than any of us would ever expect... However, we still have a while for all of that to be settled! Hey, I'm not done quite yet! I still have a little bit of artistic drive left in me, and I'll hold on until the bitter end! It's not over until it's over! And it won't be over until I say so! So, that brings up the question: When will it all be over? Well, I'll let you know in a way that's a bit more artistic than just plain words...
Yes, this is really it. This is really the real end. The end of the era of D911. I've had three great, truly wonderful years making pictures for you guys, but soon, I will finally move on. However, let's try to stay on the positive side of things here, for now!
Without further ado, the first Caption Contest winners of the new year, 2011, are as follows:
First Place:
Prof. Oak: And here we are observing the natural life of pokemon....wait...why is that one dressed in overalls and a green hat? And that one has a sign for a head....
Second Place:
Chatot: What, what? Oh, man, this is not good. Not good at all. I gotta tell the Guildmaster!
Guildmaster: Yay, friendly Perfect Apple friends!
Chatot: Guildmaster? Oh, snap, he's been brainwashed! I gotta tell Charmander!
Charmander: So if we buy your product now, you'll double the offer for free?
Deoxys911: That's right, get two Perfect Apples for the price of one, but only if you order today!
Chatot: Not Charmander, too! I gotta tell Prof. Oak!
Prof. Oak: Yes, I totally belong in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
Most Creative:
Chatot: Guildmaster Wigglytuff, I think we got an Isshu...
Most Random:
Oak: This tea is really FAIL! But this pear is truly DELICIOUS!! *OMNOMPEARNOM*
Congratulations, people taking home a win! Now let's see that first new picture (of the last few):
This contest ends on
