(Note: this is not my punishment blog for losing the FPL bet. Don't worry, that one comes later.)

As my 10k blog post, I have decided to display the art I have made over the last years. As you all know I have a degree in MS paint, which was quite the hassle to get by the way. I call this exhibition “The Life of a Ridiculed Artist”, for obvious reasons. + Show Spoiler +
lolfuqprime amirite XD


I’ll start off with something deep and quite mysterious, as this one is inspired by a concept we still do not understand until this very day. I call it “L3g1t M0n3y”.

&#91;image loading&#93;
Oh Clauf, tell us your secrets.


When I had this idea, I had to do the same as what Clauf does with all their dirty money: get it out as soon as possible. As you can see, the colors are very complementary with each other. Actually, I don’t think black and white are colors, just like I don’t think Clauf is an actual company. Very deep stuff indeed.
(Thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/441387-esgn-fight-night)

As my second piece, I’m bringing you something I made for our very own LR thread tournament: The LRSL.

[image loading]
Legends. Every single one of them.


As you notice, I decided to represent our friends of the forums as bonjwas, legends, and as a handsome God aka MarineKing. The pictures of our heroes around the center represent how we as a community stand toward the thing we love most, and what we share every day. StarCraft.
(Thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/444397-lrsl-eu-ro16)

Next up: A parody I made when I did the LR thread for last season’s Code A matches. The group was J. The original piece was by forum god lichter.

&#91;image loading&#93;
The number…J?


This day of Code A involved Carriers, and mech against protoss. I take full credit for these tactics, as I’m 100% certain the players saw this parody and said “fuck the metagame, it’s going to be mindgames today”.
(Thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/441606-code-a-group-j-season-1-2014)

The most glorious piece now. Who doesn’t remember that wonderful moment. That moment Has surprised us all. A new god was born. I just had to make to make it into a banner. Such a masterful display must never be forgotten.

[image loading]
Hehehehehe.


Action. Emotion. Suspense. All we need for such an amazing banner.
(thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/444727-wcs-eu-ro32-group-e-premier-season-1-2014)

Lastly I want to show you my most professional work yet. I made these for the SPL threads. That was a week where I found a lot of inspiration, as my muse returned to StarCraft. Return of the King.

&#91;image loading&#93;
“I’m back”


I’m proud of this one. The colors, the font and of course MKP himself. Everything just ‘works’ in this banner. But every picture with MKP is perfect, so I’ll stop taking so much credit here.
(thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/444389-spl-mvp-vs-prime-round-2-2014)

I’ll put the rest of my exquisite repertoire in this spoiler, as it must be hard for some people to behold such artistic brilliancy. This also includes fan art and shoops.

The IEM Cologne banners. Simple, but very informative and inviting.

I have more of these somewhere. Can't find them anymore though.
Also, I'd like to give a shout out to everyone who shows their face in the LR threads. I feel like I should thank some guys personally, but then I would forget some of those wonderful people, and I would feel bad. So a thanks to all of you for now. (I'll make a list when I reach 20k)

Cuddles to everyone.

Here, have a Losira-ewok.

You should have made a giant list so nobody could possibly miss this, but then you'd forget someone

5/5 for the Ewok
