Well since Spleen let this idea die for unknown reason, send your images to my gmail: iv4nbg. Within a week I'll post all the entries here and we'll vote.

So I actually received a few drawings. I can't wait to show them! I'll probably do that in the end of this weekend. So that's just a reminder.

Best design:

All I can say is Bubbatom's drawing is simply amazing and very inspirational! I was like WOW! Very, very good! By observing it for long time, If you want, I can give you a few suggestions for some improvements. I wonder if you'll ever draw another one? Thanks for contributing!

For everyone else, If you want to contribute, post your drawing here. There is no need for waiting anymore. I know there are at least two other real attenders, but unfortunately, they didn't send me anything.

Oh, I had assumed that Spleen sent you mine. Here you go (These are PDFs, I didn't know how to save them as image files):

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22195447/Pictu ... kTOTMM.pdf

1. Level name: "The Temple of the Magic Monster" (TOTMM)

Something I drew many, many years ago. Note that both pages should be flipped 90 degrees to the right. Don't ask me to explain the level design, I don't remember.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22195447/Pictu ... ckLava.pdf

2. Level name: Lava Something (Lava)

Another really old level drawing. Pretty much the same as above. Also I think that the "S" stuff on the drawing might be hazards.

Both of these are old and sloppy, but I figured what the heck.

Did you make that vid, wiivn? That is absolutely amazing! You took a lovely drawing and made possibly the coolest tribute to anything i've ever seen online! Also agreed with wiivn's votes.
