Introduction: hi i just received a beta key from the most recent wave i dont really need it and i dont have any friends whom i know like sc/sc2 more than my fellow TL. so id thoght id give something back to the community for all it has brought joy to me
Stake: its a EU key but i suppose anyone is allowed to enter the competition ^^
Idea: ok so basically whoever makes the funniest most awesome vod/picture/comic/whatever/sc2 replay of lolstrat (dont use the PF rush-.- talking about using new stuff) u can come up with urself, hell, u can even dress up as a zealot and charge a random guy at the city if u like, just remember to record it and post it here! (a real winner in my book xD)
Deadline: 1st April. Winner will be decided on the 2nd.
Rules: no rules!!! except dont copy each other, anyone who copies material from each others funny stuff gets disced. u r ofc allowed to copy material for real replays, vods etc that didnt have anything to do with this competition. so i hope the rules r quite clear and obvious :p if u have questions or so just post it
Judges: 6 Judges or referees if you will to pick out the nominees and then i will enter a poll with them (each judge picks 1 guy from the competition) ppl u should be willing to walk an extra mile for: MorroW voted + Show Spoiler +
Original Message: hey man i'm looking to be a judge
i find ironic accidents/ racist jokes / chris rock / dave chappelle very funny.
also when two black guys are free styling, and one guy tells the other guy that his gonna ice him, demolish, steal his kool aid all in his face, and the other guy knocks him out
----------------------------------------- Original Message:
I would love to be a judge! ----------------------------------------- Original Message: haha great vod man, so do u wanna be a judge or did u just want to share this? xD
----------------------------------------- Original Message:
Heres my link pick me pick me! I think its hilarious lol
Posts: post how much u like, i want this to be friendly. discuss like u always do, just no off-topic please.
Submit your material: Closed
Who can enter? anyone, even ppl with the sc2 beta can enter if they want. but i think the ones without the beta is gonna have much more motivation than the ones who do have beta already xD
Final words by me ) ok TL.net, show me what u got. show me how much you want the starcraft 2 beta!!! i know most of u want it so get up on ur asses and do some starcraft 2 material (think MDT) and post it here! :D

Now what separates this song from any other Beta songs? I created the beat entirely from Starcraft samples using Ableton Live.
Here is a tutorial on making the dubstep bass with Ableton and the Overmind's voice. + Show Spoiler +
My friend Shawn (Bongjwa on TL) was kind enough to spit a verse for it. I think he's a much better rapper than I.
SultanVinegar: I'm gonna get a key then I'll stomp some noobies make em type out gg dispense some terrible damage like my homie dustin b tossgirl said she wants to climb my tech tree even white-ra and idra are ladder dodging me

I think you need to find your brain Lost in your Temple, need an example? here it is my tactical wit leaves your pants full of shit and my multi-task just don't quit
Bongjwa: pour my heart in this lyric just to get a beta key A- zerg on a bad day don't believe stop and play me people often ask why my only build is 4 pool i say noob it's 12 hatch, and bitch im straight gosu you say teh_pwnerer, i say teh_who? i pulled the plug at MSL and watched flash cry boowho i stare straight into your face as my run by gets in hold lurkers on marines so easy it feels like sin ready begin being off and pressing go count it from 5 watch my 1a2a3a got you stunned all surprised at how fast i can make you type it out at how fast i can attack and hotkey ovie scouts how fast it took for me to get the creativity key and kolll i learned to stack those mutas when you still had nazis im left here with nothing just bored and saying next every match ceremony is like fbh on x
non-modified samples: BNet countdown noise, start button click modified samples: Bass: Overmind's voice Synth: BNet countdown noise Kick drum: BNet click on channels or ladder buttons on left side Clap: at the end of a menu change (after the woosh sound) Hi-Hat: highlight something on main menu
I hope you all really enjoy, and I hope you vote for me to win the key!

im not sure, either ull have to play on the EU server or it will work on any server, so unless u hate europe or lag with them alot it shouldnt be too much of a bother right? :p
what if i have something that is not directly sc related but was made out of anger/disapointment of not getting a key despite buying a new pc and beeing a hughe nerd? Does it have to be something funny?
edit: i did read your post but i kind of ignored the part with the "most funny awsome stuff" :D

only starcraft 2!!! no starcraft1 and nothing thats old. it doesnt have to be funny, just be amazing or so
i think - mothership rush against artosis is best/funniest ever - and khb has already a betakey - so you can only choose the second best lolstrat - ;-)
i do have already a key - makes me happy as it can - and keeps me from working ;-)

You can be anywhere and play with an EU key. It just means that you're restricted to playing on the European server.
Disapointed in you Morrow changed your opininon when 2 guys get on your ass lol. For a guy that is hungry for money why dont you try to sell it?? You can at least get some of your money back for the first key you paid.
At least try to sell it if there is no interest then you can do this
FIRST THERE WAS NOTHING black empty thing it was happy this way then the suns they came and made so much noise the nothing hated this it would battle creation till it was quiet again but the suns grew and in time the earth was formed in all that noise and life life life was so much more noisey it buzzed and hummed making more and more life it didnt stop the nothing hated it so much it came to kill the life
this went on for untold years life was killed, eaten it was a battle the nothing could not win but it would not stop then something changed humans came and made it worse the noise was so loud now humans kept making and singing and dancing it killed what little silence was left THIS WAS AN INSULT
the nothing could not take this noise the human was its new enemy and strategy it would send an agent specific to the human it was a thing that was like the human. it understood the human's feelings if you were to see it now in flesh it would be nothing but evil this agent was [β]
it ate and ate [β] was sent to hurt humans it would live in the human wounds [β] would eat there every hurt the human felt was infected with [β] the eternally spiteful grin of a being sent to manipulate the human [β] could make the human hurt, but hurt onwards [β] would whisper to the human tell the human how to live tell the human that the best way to feel happy was to listen to [β] the human was so soft it couldnt help it
so [β] would make a world of infected humans it wanted war it wanted hate and self righteousness it wanted the human to fight until it died away then when the human has taken the whole world down, the empty black space that was there before could regain its power and be silent again thats what it always wanted it wants silence again
life is a noise human is an insult its personal [β]; it infects our choices it tells us how to make decisions it tells us how to make choices it lies so we make ugly choices [β] is greedy at heart it tells us only greed and pain then we listen and cry and hurt and follow we dont know better when we beat [β] and empty impulse then we can escape but we never will we must learn to live with [β] among us but never forget its personal [β] dosnt just hate humanity its infinite it has enough energy to hate YOU and you specifically it hates you it HATES you so much it cant wait to hurt you to make you weep and wail alone it grins down on you but we are stronger aren't we THE [β] is spiteful spite but we are stronger

ye i know those were just some jackasses and they didnt make this different. ive tried to US earlier about a week ago but its really alot of trouble cause i dont have more drivers and stuff and i just cant deal with that kind of "doing" xD but it also reminded me of how awesome teamliquid is, its been giving me so much joy and i just wanna repay it for all the laffs and interesting discussions. selling it i mean, i dont think this money is too much. see it as a donation to this website, if nobody would do this kind of stuff i dont think starcraft community would be so awesome as it is today now duduk make some cool starcraft dance for us please, u might win xD

u can send in how much stuff u want, just remember quality is alot better than quantity! we wont nominee the submitions or comics per say, we will nominee players such as u where all ur stuff will impact. again i want u to focus on making really ripping laff on floor stuff instead of making "alots of alright thats kinda fun"
haha great one man, but remember if u want it to be counted and included ull have to follow the rules and add this information above ur post: "morrow stefan-andersson-@hotmail.com For competition"

remember, you can do ANYTHING sc2 related. u dont have to use replays or vods if u dont want to as long as ppl get its about starcraft 2. take that piano guy for instance, he wrote a song about the beta keys, he didnt use replays. catch my drifts?
Here's my entry! (From my wife and me) I'm kinda new to how to post images and whatnot, but if click on the link you'll be directed to the image. I hope we can win a key!

I think its just that there is a huge difference between soliciting for money or offering money for a key and this. This is a lot more community orientated, does not ask for money, and is a lot closer to the original intent of the key give away than selling it is. If someone doesn't know anyone who still wants a key, what are they to do with it? That was the case for a couple of my friends, but I told them about people I knew who wanted one. So had it not been for me telling them of people, they would have a key with no use. Given the options available, what could be better than this?
The moderators aren't being assholes or power hungry. They are simply doing their best to abide by the TOS as outlined by Blizzard and keep the forum clean and respectable. Nothing wrong with that.

Some guy started a thread to post emails that people with extra keys could invite people - closed They have keys, they dont care about such topics..
Why is ESL TV Invite-Cup topic closed? I have no idea..
Lol look at this Kennigit quote: If you pm me because i closed your thread, expect to be banned. Too many shit threads, not enough time. Yeah that sounds very professional.. Its like a bunch of teenagers competing who will ban and close the most..
Really nice of you Morrow. Good move! =) Most of my BW friends have got a key as well so I kinda gave mine away for the first person I saw online and really wanted a key XD! So ez to make people happy with those.
I find these postings really strange. Do you really not have a single friend that wants the beta key? I would much rather give they key to my friend and play together, as oppose to giving it to a random stranger on internet. I think there's some truth to Avich's entry

i prefer give it to a guy to teamliquid because they love this game so much more than my friends do. i dont have time to play sc2 with them even if they had it because im practicing in the ladder instead of spending my time playing for fun with fungames. ppl on teamliquid arent strangers on the internet. look at ppl like trozz, i dont know him but i do know he has made me fuzzy inside many times. ppl who contribute so much deserves the beta more than any friend or classmate, i simply just didnt tell them i got an extra beta so they'll never know :D
I'm actually gonna enter this replay for a key for my friend, was played for my hellogoodbye tournament. It's pretty amusing replay of me demonstrating the effectiveness of 1 factory. http://www.mediafire.com/?intrjzmmwzm slained@gmail.com

You don't understand. Even if MorroW has friends IRL that would like to play the beta it's likely that none of them are anywhere near as good as him and wouldn't be fun for him to play with. At least this way he gets entertainment out of his beta key.
I gave my spare key to the first person that could prove to me they were a B- or higher player on ICCUP that way I know that at least someone skilled is going to get to play. This is knowing that I have at least 3 friends and a couple co-workers that would love to try the beta. All because everyone I know is a noob.

+1 MorroW
Hmm...tbh anyone who played on ICCUP and didn't completely suck could easily get into at least gold ranks. or perhaps silver if they screwed up their placement matches.
unless this is your OTHER account. but he is from the states and you are from.....oh, bulgaria, how unfortunate.
ps: oh and next time you might want to think of a better refute instead of a 4chan meme.
Way work when you can just copy / paste ?
Because if you weren't the one who made it then it doesn't qualify?
Idea: ok so basically whoever makes the funniest most awesome vod/picture/comic/whatever/sc2 replay of lolstrat (dont use the PF rush-.- talking about using new stuff) u can come up with urself, hell, u can even dress up as a zealot and charge a random guy at the city if u like, just remember to record it and post it here!

No, I got a EU key from my friend in Sweden and I got placed on the US server...

i thought it was a competition of creativity and had nothing to do with how long youve been signed up.
It's amazing how many people think they could slap some lame text over a google image, or create a slightly different version of an already over-prevalent meme and win a beta key.
May as well give it a shot. Not a funny entry, except possibly for the puke color input boxes. I made this excel sheet to help SC2 Zergs with production.

It can be because some ppl are not really that creative and it may be because some ppl have a life and cant waste days an a contest since you see in real life SC doesn’t pay for you collage or your food.

It's ok, I'm sure you're good at other stuff, like running or making sandwiches.
I am good at running I run a few Km every day to stay in shape, about making sandwiches I don’t do that but I’m sure you will learn how when you will get a job =))

I like the game but I will never put a game over my real life and rest.
omg the cat did a super man over the railing, i guess he forgot that he was gonna go down? he never changed posture lol!!! just stayed in the super man position all the way up! and then down! man cats look really dumb when they fail-jump i mean really stupid. usually they look smart but thats what i call a cat at its worst imo.
hey guys stop with the negativity, theres so much hatred in here xD
u can do anything sc2 related, as long as you made it and that it was made for this competition. feels a little in the grey area to link me to a battle report or a calculator since it doesnt feel like it was made for this competition but who am i to judge ^^
the time is until 5th april so u have plenty of time to make something real good instead of just whopping up a 5minute thing

You're right, mine wasn't made specifically for this competition. Thought I'd give it a shot. Most competitions have restrictions on what you can do, this one was the most open of all requiring you to be creative and make something "amazing or so" related to SC2.

Effort went into finding the creepiest guy on the internet!! I'll settle for runner up lol.
WOW! You made that yourself? Thats slightly incredible lol...
How did you do that? did you have to select each suppy individually or did u set hotkeys? Im really curious as to how you did that. My hat goes off to you sir
Actually he doesn't necessarily have a key, could have been playing against the AI and went and handicapped him first. Or maybe borrowed someone elses account, etc etc.
I don't have a beta key actually, it was made with the cr4cked version with the AI.
Initially I wanted to do it with an array of bunkers instead of supply depots, since you can unload units instantly from a bunker to another bunker. But it doesn't seem to work in all directions so I had to find a replacement. I didn't set hotkeys except for the whole array. I played in the slowest speed so I had time to select the supply depots and raise or lower them, when the frame was done I was waiting for 1 second and raise/lower again. And then I played the demo back at the fastest speed x6.

Next time I'll search better to see if it already exists. I hesitated between different games actually, finally I picked Tetris I guess that's bad luck.

I've played your tetris game before haha. But really he didn't rip anything... He did it on sc2, and I dont think its a game like yours.. You have a "controller" where u can flip the units and such, i believe he just made a video by lifting and lowering supply depts...

FIVE YEARS A StarCraft II Fan Fiction by ThundaHawk --

KILL THEIR WORKERS!
The voice buzzed between Bo's ears, echoing back and forth. Just like a jackhammer. Like an itch he couldn't scratch.
His lenses were fogging up, again, and he couldn't see shit. Holstering his twin P-45 Scythe Gauss Pistols, Bo rubbed his mask. Again.
That ought to buy some time, he thought. Or did he? It was becoming increasingly difficult for the Reaper to distinguish his own thoughts these days.
Planet Geffon swam back into view all at once, flooding Bo's visor with images of dead oak trees, fungal growth, and the same black, ichorous pools of oblivion that had swallowed Elbrecht whole the day before. Elbrecht always had a sense of humor: in fact, he'd been laughing right up to the point when a Zerg critter upped and dragged him into the swampy abyss. A fart joke had been his undoing. Elbrecht loved fart jokes.
The alien air stank with a foul pungency that could only be described as alien. Bo's respirator tubes whined in protest: if they leaked for even an instant, he would surely die as fuzzy blue spores entered his lungs and had themselves a party. Another Reaper, Illik, had found out the hard way a week before. Now, the Reapers reinforced their suit tubing with duct tape.
Bo checked his fuel tank. Half empty.
Green mists rolled over the swamp and, once more, his lenses started fogging up. His stomach ached, his vision swam, and for a second Bo clutched a deuterium-eight demolition charge close against his chest, wondering what it would be like to just... vaporize in a blaze of glory. Clean, hot, and instant. Searing relief from the nightmare. Kaboom.
Job's not done yet. Nobody goes home until the job gets done, scum!
Ah, yeah. That voice took him back a ways.
--
The loudspeakers were unapologetic in their loudness.
"FIVE YEARS, ladies! Five years! For five years, now, the Reaper Corps has been up and runnin' and, for five years, not ONE goddamn piss ant individual has made it out alive! Not even ONE!"
Torus IV. The "Icehouse". A cold steel prison facility with even colder inmates. This was where they trained Reapers to fight and die.
Down in the Pit, Bo stood beside his fellow convicts and ne'er-do-wells, bracketed against the floor like a mannequin in a museum. Sharp metal restraints covered them from head to toe: the people in charge didn't give two shits about creature comforts.
"Hell, we've yet to have a single Reaper make it past SIX MONTHS!", boomed the voice once more. "Six months! That's pathetic!"
A heavy steel door slid open on the balcony above, and through it rolled a living corpse on wheels. "Zander the Duke", they called him. His face was an implacable mask of stretched-back flesh, his arms were charred stumps, and his legs (of course) were wheels. Rusty, creaking wheels.
"Yesterday, this piss ant Administration guy comes planetside and starts questioning me about this very thing! 'Mister Duke', he says, 'given the, ah, colossal casualty rates incurred by your Reapers, might you perhaps consider the Reaper Program a failure, sir?'"
Nobody said a word. The Duke went on.
"Failure!? Fuck that shit! I kicked his ass right off the planet, I did! Reapers! We are not training you for suicide, and we are NOT training you for failure! I'm training you to WIN, goddamn it! If you die out there, it's because you're WEAK. You're bleeders! Back when I was a Marine, I'd have KILLED to get the deal that you're getting! Two years of service to win back your freedom with all debts repaid? Hell yes, sir! Sign me right up, sir!"
The Duke rolled down a ramp and onto a gantry which, in turn, lowered him into the pit. Beside Bo, an inmate chuckled. He stopped laughing when a guard's rifle butt took out all his teeth. Blood flew everywhere, but Bo didn't flinch. The corpse, this "Duke", said there was a way out. That was all he needed to hear.
"Do you think I ENJOY watching you all die, gentlemen!? Do you think me and my boys take pleasure in reading out the KIA lists? Course not! Your freedom isn't being dangled in front of you like a carrot on a stick: it's real! You just hafta earn it!."
--
Bo wiped the blood off his mask.
Yesterday's raid had left him with a quarter tank of jet fuel and three fellow Reapers. They'd cleaned a Zerg hatchery inside out with their demolition charges, slaughtered the drones, and burned the bodies. The Reapers were drenched in alien blood from head to toe and, still, Command had redirected them towards the main Hive.
Shit wasn't fair. For a second, Bo even found himself missing the Torus IV and the Icehouse. At least they got fed back there.
--
Old wheels-for-legs treated his Reapers like dogs. Do a trick, get a bone. Remember my whistle, and you've earned yourself some chow.
Tonight, nobody was getting a bite until everyone recited the Reaper credo a hundred times over. "STRIKE HARD, STRIKE FAST, and ALWAYS KILL THE WORKERS!"
"So, gentlemen," croaked the Duke, "say you've just crested a cliff face with those lovely jet packs we've provided and you see one of them fancy pants Zerg bases down in that there valley. What's your first priority, gentlemen?"
"Kill their workers." All in unison.
"I can't hear you!"
"KILL THEIR WORKERS! Sir!"
"Again!" The Duke smiled gleefully as they all jumped through the hoop.
"KILL THEIR WORKERS! KILL THEIR WORKERS! KILL THEIR WORKERS!"
The Duke swore by his mundane techniques. The Reaper candidates were routinely pumped full of narcotic stim packs and drugged straight out of their minds. By forcing them into repetition he was, in effect, creating an army of drones in order to kill Zerg... drones.
The effect was profound.
As effective as the stims were, however, they were a no-go in combat on account of psychosis. Once upon a time, a stimmed-up Reaper named Feder went totally ballistic inside his base and ended up killing half a dozen SCV operators. When they finally brought him down, he just kept muttering "KILL THE WORKERS". And that was the end of that.
Once upon a time, Bo asked the Duke why the Zerg need to mine gas.
"Shut your fucking face, son! That science ain't none of your business, y'hear? Are you a scientist?"
No, sir. I'm a criminal. This one time, back on Mar Sara....
"Then stop trying to act like one! It's their job to figure out how that there stuff works, and it's your job to KILL THEIR WORKERS. Y'hear?"
Yes, sir. Kill all workers, sir.
Bo received a double-dose of stims over the next month for that little month. After that, he didn't think so free.
The day Bo shipped off from the Icehouse, the Duke actually apologized for having him drugged silly. Said it was for the best. No time to think out there in the field, he said.
"Kill their workers, son! Kill 'em all, I say, and one day you'll earn your freedom."
Engines howled. At that moment, Bo was happy to watch as Torus IV vanish into space. He was eager to leave the Duke behind and earn his freedom among the stars.
--
Now, all Bo wanted was a hot meal and some stims. They'd made him dependent.
Bo activated his jet pack and his squad mates followed suit. The device came to life with a roar, spitting fire and scorching the underbrush. In unison, the Reapers sailed over another poisonous death swamp and hurtled themselves atop a craggy plateau. They'd been trained well, at least.
Before them loomed the Zerg Hive with its writhing carpet of lavender mucous, the aptly named "creep". All manner of nightmarish structures surrounded the Hive: one resembled a mutilated ribcage; another looked like a colon turned inside-out on itself. It was as if someone (or something) had purposefully designed the Zerg buildings to appear revolting to human eyes. Zergling patrols skittered about the creep. This would not be easy.
If Elbrecht were here, he'd have cracked a joke about the Reapers' short range and their need to get close to the enemy. But Elbrecht was dead.
Still, it seemed a cruel joke. Their orders were explicit: using all available means, they were to neutralize the enemy's resource line. Only then would Dropships come to extract them.
If they're even out there, that is.
We are not training you for suicide!. So said the Duke, so adamantly, nestled safely in the relative safety of his fortress several galaxies away.
A long time ago the Duke might have been a Marine, once, but he had no clue how bad things had gotten on the front.
He didn't know about the horrors that Bo and his unit had seen. Every day and every week for the past four months, they'd lived it and-- now-- Bo just wanted out.
Fuck Planet Geffon. Fuck the Zerg. Fuck the Terran Reapers Corps!
Forget freedom: Bo just wanted not to die. He wanted more options than walking into a deathtrap on one hand and being executed for desertion on the other. He had no such luck.
Finally, MacKinley's voice called out over the radio, breaking the silence.
"Twelfth battalion just called the ball. It's on, you chicken shits. Time to kill us some workers."
No such luck. No choice at all. A low, heavy rumble broke out in the far distance. Bo heard the trademark sound of Crucio Siege Tank fire and Battlecruiser engines. He swallowed back his horror and broke into a sprint alongside the other three Reapers. They were all assholes (MacKinley, especially) but, aside from that fact, they were also Bo's only companions. They were his fellow inmates, caught up in the same insanity that drove them towards their doom. Out here, his brothers in arms were all he had.
The Reapers left the plateau with a mighty leap and-- yelling GERONIMO at the top of their lungs-- hurtled towards the unsuspecting Hive, their jet packs blazing noisily behind them. Their dorsal fins hummed, slicing through the air with the greatest fluidity.
Supersonic death on wings.
--
Bo hit the ground running. Lars and Curt landed beside him, gauss pistols drawn.
Here and there, Zerg eggs burst to life. Four Zerglings ran straight at Bo. BANG BANG BANG: his Gauss pistols tore them to shreds.
For what they lacked in range, the Reapers had firepower in spades. Wielded akimbo, their "Scythe" pistols wreaked havoc among the little Zerg critters that sprung up from seemingly nowhere to defend their Hive cluster.
Still, the Zerg came on.
Bo turned around just in time to see Curt vanish beneath a sea of claws and chattering teeth. No time to stop. He kept on running, and the Hive drew closer.
Kill their workers!, went the voice. Kill them all!
Five Zerglings leap at Bo from behind a fleshy mound, screaming their alien gibberish. He killed two of the creatures in midair with well-placed gauss rounds that punched through their chitin, through carapace, and straight through their tiny brains.
The remaining Zerglings swiped at Bo's exposed flank. With lightning reflexes, he spun around on his toes and fired a jet pack burst. The throttle carried him away from his assailants. Guns blazing, Bo reduced the Zerglings to biological mush beneath a withering hail of fire.
His fuel gauge was bottoming out. Bo shut off the valve and ventured a look around.
Lars was gone, too, impaled by the razor-sharp spines of a Hydralisk. Firing his jet pack, MacKinley landed atop the beast's wide-brimmed head, crushing it into the creep, and emptied a magazine into its face. The monster went silent.
"Well?", cried MacKinley, "what are you waiting for!? Let's kill some goddamn workers!"
Almost subconsciously, Bo found himself nodding in agreement. All around them, the Hive buzzed with activity. The sharp chittering of Zerglings had become replaced by venomous roars and mammoth wails. The main Zerg army had become aware of the Reapers' shenanigans, and it was without a doubt pissed off. They didn't have much time left.
--
They recognized the telltale blue glow of a mineral field almost immediately.
"Target in sight!", called MacKinley into his vox. If High Command were around they'd pat him on the back, no doubt, for having gotten this far.
Several dozen Zerg harvesters-- "Drones", they called them-- scurried to and fro as they gathered their resources, oblivious to the carnage about to take place.
Bo let the training take over. With a primal roar, he loosed his Gauss Pistols and laid waste to the crab-like critters. MacKinley followed suit. One by one, the Drones began to explode in puddles of blood and guts. Spent casing flew everywhere.
KILL THEIR WORKERS! For great freedom!
Something eventually keyed the Drones into motion, however, and together they rushed the Reapers in unison. With a heavy boot, MacKinley stomped one creature in the face and shot another to pieces. Still the Drones came on, completely unfazed by the deaths of their comrades.
Barely half a dozen Drones remained, now. Bo felt his heart race as he kept pouring it on. Adrenaline shot through his veins. Beside him, MacKinley laughed a demented laugh. "Get some, bitches! Get so--"
Then the horror returned.
Without warning, MacKinley found his voice cut short. The vox was suddenly filled by crackling, gurgling horror. Bo watched, aghast, as a titanic Zerg monstrosity on six spindly legs pierced his squadmate's armor with its long, slender talons.
He had never seen such horror. Effortlessly, the creature lifted the poor skewered Reaper up high and tore him right in half.
Bo stood there, paralyzed by fear, as the six-legged monster turned its attention towards him. His blood ran cold. He wished he had some stims on hand to guide his hand, but wishes were just that. Wishes.
He wanted to run.
Run? Run where?
Bo checked his fuel tank and realized he wouldn't get far at all. One way or another, this was it. He wished that he were back at the Icehouse. He wished to see the Duke again so that he could look right into the bastard's misshapen face and scream "THIS IS SUICIDE, you bastard! There isn't any escape plan and there never was! You sent us in there to DIE!"
Get your ass back to reality, son.
But he wasn't dead! Not yet, at least. That realization alone propelled him into action.
In five years, nobody had survived past six months. Bo would change that. He didn't need an escape plan: he was the escape plan. He would not die. Not here, not today. He was a Reaper. Death incarnate.
The Zerg Queen shrieked and, retching backwards, spat a volley of spines in Bo's direction. He dove backwards, narrowly a quick exit. The Queen charged.
Bo fired up his jet pack once more. The device croaked in protest, sputtering as it slid him backwards against the creep. He fired away at the oncoming monster as fast as his fingers would allow. Bo didn't aim and, frankly, he didn't have to: the thing was as big as it was ugly.
It was all useless. His Gauss Pistols were never intended for use against an armored hide, and most of his shots simply ricocheted off the Queen's ridged carapace.
Bo's jet pack died out, finally, and the Queen lunged forward with its mandibles barred. At the last possible second he rolled aside, narrowly avoiding impalement. Rising to his feet, Bo emptied his remaining rounds into the Queen's flank. It took him a moment to realize that he might as well have tickled it.
Again, the Queen lashed out with its talons and, again, Bo barely managed to avoid the lethal strike. This time he dodged forward, rolling straight under the creature and emerging on the other side. The Queen slowly pivoted in place to face him, taking its time to size up the lone human that had defied it so.
The Queen howled once more, as if it knew it had Bo on the ropes. Down and out. Defeated.
This time, though, there was no horror.
Bo unceremoniously tossed his spent Pistols aside and rubbed the fog from his lenses. With a toothy grin, he looked the Queen right in its beady little eyes and he laughed.
"Fear the Reaper Man," he growled.
The beeps grew steadily louder in increments.
Then, all at once, the clutch of D-8 charges stuck to the Queen's bloated green abdomen by duct tape exploded and lit up the night sky like a fireball.
Comic I made for Blizzard's Vespene Laughs Stuff. Obviously the key should go to the dude who did tetris, i mean damn...he even had the scvs form the next shape!
dobbersp as said in op it has to been made for the competition. u made this long time ago so its not legit, sorry if u gonna post old stuff dont write it to be for the competition plz
also tetris guy is not banned, its too different and i think we all can agree on tetris is pretty much something everything has made a ripoff at :p
This azala[zc] is so funny. As if making a tetris is sooo unique that no one else can think of it. Lad, so many things are created nowadays that convicting someone of creating the same as what another has created is so ridiculous. Have you ever considered people with the same ideas, esp here we are talking about 2 people creating a tetris? Lol...
SultanVinegar: I'm gonna get a key then I'll stomp some noobies make em type out gg dispense some terrible damage like my homie dustin b tossgirl said she wants to climb my tech tree even white-ra and idra are ladder dodging me
fuck the copper league i'm going platinum with these rhymes all up in your mineral line makin reapers double time talk big shit cause i'm terran, from north america stay true til i die won't turn toss like fucking idra I could play all day and still you noobs are all the same think you know the meta-game? I think you need to find your brain Lost in your Temple, need an example? here it is my tactical wit leaves your pants full of shit and my multi-task just don't quit
Bongjwa: pour my heart in this lyric just to get a beta key A- zerg on a bad day don't believe stop and play me people often ask why my only build is 4 pool i say noob it's 12 hatch, and bitch im straight gosu you say teh_pwnerer, i say teh_who? i pulled the plug at MSL and watched flash cry boowho i stare straight into your face as my run by gets in hold lurkers on marines so easy it feels like sin ready begin being off and pressing go count it from 5 watch my 1a2a3a got you stunned all surprised at how fast i can make you type it out at how fast i can attack and hotkey ovie scouts how fast it took for me to get the creativity key and kolll i learned to stack those mutas when you still had nazis im left here with nothing just bored and saying next every match ceremony is like fbh on x
non-modified samples: BNet countdown noise, start button click modified samples: Bass: Overmind's voice Synth: BNet countdown noise Kick drum: BNet click on channels or ladder buttons on left side Clap: at the end of a menu change (after the woosh sound) Hi-Hat: highlight something on main menu
I hope you all really enjoy, and I hope you vote for me to win the key!
Haha, great rap! This morning I found out about gosuTV's comp to win 10 keys and thought I'd just tell you guys about it aswell. Not that it's nearly as interesting as MorroW's comp. :D
deadline was cut to the 1st because the poll that was created favored towards earlier deadline. winner will be decided by the refs only now, no voting sorry. again edging it up because thats what the voters wanted
Dimensions: 128x128 4 Player SC2 Melee Map (no mods required) Recommended Players: 1vs1, 2vs2, FFA Team Play: Top vs Bottom -or- Left vs Right Symmetric: Yes
Description: Your main is in a crater surrounded by ridges and cliffs. Breaking out gives access to two naturals. Be weary of ridges and backdoor paths.
Briefly, here's what to look for: - Main in a crater - Ridges behind main mineral line - Reverse ramp out of main - 2 semi-safe naturals, gets safer as the game goes on - path to one opponent's natural, blocked by 2 sets of destructible rocks - that path can be used to defend/attack high yield base - an open and low ground expansion at the sides of the map - crater in the middle with Xel-Naga tower that can see all the other 4 towers
Author's Note Hey all, this is my submission for the contest. I wanted to do something that I would be passionate about so that I could devote myself into it. While I won't be using the Galaxy Editor to its full potential, that is not my focus. I wanted to create a SC2 map that can be fun to play on both casually and competitively. Coming from this perspective, I didn't want to do anything crazy and revamp the whole game, so there are a few rules I put out for myself before I started getting creative. Some of them are: Have a main with a choke. Have a nearby natural. Don't stray from the number of patches/gas per base. Have a fair start location for everyone. These are just some of the rules I wanted to abide by.
Method It started out with a few sketches on paper, then I thought why not actually create the map with SC2 graphics? First I needed a grid. So I loaded up the beta (cracked ai) and took a screenshot of the grid made by an scv when he's commanded to build something. I copy/pasted that grid for what seemed like an hour until I got a grid of 128x128. Then I split up the map into quarters and drew some shapes to give me an approximate of how I wanted to design this map. Finally, I loaded up the beta again and went on a search to find the appropriate terrain, cliffs, all that and took screenshots. I copy/pasted the parts I wanted into ms paint to get the map layout I wanted. Sure, a lot of work, and kinda messy, but I'm happy with the result. If anyone wishes for me to upload the grid, let me know.
The Main You start off in a crater. How crazy is that!? Well, it leaves you vulnerable if you plan to 1-base and you get attacked. So it is not encouraged to turtle off of one base. There is a reverse ramp leading out of your base so you can still wall off either at the top or at the bottom of the ramp to defend against the early rushes. Be sure to break out early, cause you don't want the opponent to settle on the high ground for too long -- It'll be an 'uphill battle' if you catch my drift. Other things to watch out for is the ridge behind your mineral lines. It can be used by the opponent to do storm drops, siege tanks, ghosts, any ranged unit.. so it might be a good idea to make a few turrets, cannons, spore back there to defend. You can even drop a worker on top of that ridge and build your defensive structures there. there should be at least a few 2x2 squares.
Up the Ramp You made it out of the crater, congrats! You'll notice you're on relatively high ground now. It's a good place to be. It won't be that easy to set up defenses because there are two ramps the opponent can come up by, and there's a bit of distance between the two.
You'll also notice that you have a choice between two naturals. But why choose? Just get both! Seriously though, taking the natural means having to defend more ramps. If you slip up, you might find your forces in limbo when your opponent attacks. You also don't want your forces to get split up or allow a run by. Once you establish yourself on the high ground and both ramps defended, it should be smooth sailing. Or is it?
Natural 1 - Tunnel Vision The destructible rocks near this natural could lead to your opponents natural. It also towers over the high yield expansion. It's an important backdoor to consider, cause defending your two ramps might not be enough.
Natural 2 - Looking down This natural isn't as spiffy as the other one, but it overlooks a smaller low yield base that might be safer to hold depending on your opponent's position.

Engines howled. At that moment, Bo was happy to watch as Torus IV vanish into space. He was eager to leave the Duke behind and earn his freedom among the stars.
--
Now, all Bo wanted was a hot meal and some stims. They'd made him dependent.
Bo activated his jet pack and his squad mates followed suit. The device came to life with a roar, spitting fire and scorching the underbrush. In unison, the Reapers sailed over another poisonous death swamp and hurtled themselves atop a craggy plateau. They'd been trained well, at least.
Before them loomed the Zerg Hive with its writhing carpet of lavender mucous, the aptly named "creep". All manner of nightmarish structures surrounded the Hive: one resembled a mutilated ribcage; another looked like a colon turned inside-out on itself. It was as if someone (or something) had purposefully designed the Zerg buildings to appear revolting to human eyes. Zergling patrols skittered about the creep. This would not be easy.
If Elbrecht were here, he'd have cracked a joke about the Reapers' short range and their need to get close to the enemy. But Elbrecht was dead.
Still, it seemed a cruel joke. Their orders were explicit: using all available means, they were to neutralize the enemy's resource line. Only then would Dropships come to extract them.
If they're even out there, that is.
We are not training you for suicide!. So said the Duke, so adamantly, nestled safely in the relative safety of his fortress several galaxies away.
A long time ago the Duke might have been a Marine, once, but he had no clue how bad things had gotten on the front.
He didn't know about the horrors that Bo and his unit had seen. Every day and every week for the past four months, they'd lived it and-- now-- Bo just wanted out.
Fuck Planet Geffon. Fuck the Zerg. Fuck the Terran Reapers Corps!
Forget freedom: Bo just wanted not to die. He wanted more options than walking into a deathtrap on one hand and being executed for desertion on the other. He had no such luck.
Finally, MacKinley's voice called out over the radio, breaking the silence.
"Twelfth battalion just called the ball. It's on, you chicken shits. Time to kill us some workers."
No such luck. No choice at all. A low, heavy rumble broke out in the far distance. Bo heard the trademark sound of Crucio Siege Tank fire and Battlecruiser engines. He swallowed back his horror and broke into a sprint alongside the other three Reapers. They were all assholes (MacKinley, especially) but, aside from that fact, they were also Bo's only companions. They were his fellow inmates, caught up in the same insanity that drove them towards their doom. Out here, his brothers in arms were all he had.
The Reapers left the plateau with a mighty leap and-- yelling GERONIMO at the top of their lungs-- hurtled towards the unsuspecting Hive, their jet packs blazing noisily behind them. Their dorsal fins hummed, slicing through the air with the greatest fluidity.
Supersonic death on wings.
--
Bo hit the ground running. Lars and Curt landed beside him, gauss pistols drawn.
Here and there, Zerg eggs burst to life. Four Zerglings ran straight at Bo. BANG BANG BANG: his Gauss pistols tore them to shreds.
For what they lacked in range, the Reapers had firepower in spades. Wielded akimbo, their "Scythe" pistols wreaked havoc among the little Zerg critters that sprung up from seemingly nowhere to defend their Hive cluster.
Still, the Zerg came on.
Bo turned around just in time to see Curt vanish beneath a sea of claws and chattering teeth. No time to stop. He kept on running, and the Hive drew closer.
Kill their workers!, went the voice. Kill them all!
Five Zerglings leap at Bo from behind a fleshy mound, screaming their alien gibberish. He killed two of the creatures in midair with well-placed gauss rounds that punched through their chitin, through carapace, and straight through their tiny brains.
The remaining Zerglings swiped at Bo's exposed flank. With lightning reflexes, he spun around on his toes and fired a jet pack burst. The throttle carried him away from his assailants. Guns blazing, Bo reduced the Zerglings to biological mush beneath a withering hail of fire.
His fuel gauge was bottoming out. Bo shut off the valve and ventured a look around.
Lars was gone, too, impaled by the razor-sharp spines of a Hydralisk. Firing his jet pack, MacKinley landed atop the beast's wide-brimmed head, crushing it into the creep, and emptied a magazine into its face. The monster went silent.
"Well?", cried MacKinley, "what are you waiting for!? Let's kill some goddamn workers!"
Almost subconsciously, Bo found himself nodding in agreement. All around them, the Hive buzzed with activity. The sharp chittering of Zerglings had become replaced by venomous roars and mammoth wails. The main Zerg army had become aware of the Reapers' shenanigans, and it was without a doubt pissed off. They didn't have much time left.
--
They recognized the telltale blue glow of a mineral field almost immediately.
"Target in sight!", called MacKinley into his vox. If High Command were around they'd pat him on the back, no doubt, for having gotten this far.
Several dozen Zerg harvesters-- "Drones", they called them-- scurried to and fro as they gathered their resources, oblivious to the carnage about to take place.
Bo let the training take over. With a primal roar, he loosed his Gauss Pistols and laid waste to the crab-like critters. MacKinley followed suit. One by one, the Drones began to explode in puddles of blood and guts. Spent casing flew everywhere.
KILL THEIR WORKERS! For great freedom!
Something eventually keyed the Drones into motion, however, and together they rushed the Reapers in unison. With a heavy boot, MacKinley stomped one creature in the face and shot another to pieces. Still the Drones came on, completely unfazed by the deaths of their comrades.
Barely half a dozen Drones remained, now. Bo felt his heart race as he kept pouring it on. Adrenaline shot through his veins. Beside him, MacKinley laughed a demented laugh. "Get some, bitches! Get so--"
Then the horror returned.
Without warning, MacKinley found his voice cut short. The vox was suddenly filled by crackling, gurgling horror. Bo watched, aghast, as a titanic Zerg monstrosity on six spindly legs pierced his squadmate's armor with its long, slender talons.
He had never seen such horror. Effortlessly, the creature lifted the poor skewered Reaper up high and tore him right in half.
Bo stood there, paralyzed by fear, as the six-legged monster turned its attention towards him. His blood ran cold. He wished he had some stims on hand to guide his hand, but wishes were just that. Wishes.
He wanted to run.
Run? Run where?
Bo checked his fuel tank and realized he wouldn't get far at all. One way or another, this was it. He wished that he were back at the Icehouse. He wished to see the Duke again so that he could look right into the bastard's misshapen face and scream "THIS IS SUICIDE, you bastard! There isn't any escape plan and there never was! You sent us in there to DIE!"
Get your ass back to reality, son.
But he wasn't dead! Not yet, at least. That realization alone propelled him into action.
In five years, nobody had survived past six months. Bo would change that. He didn't need an escape plan: he was the escape plan. He would not die. Not here, not today. He was a Reaper. Death incarnate.
The Zerg Queen shrieked and, retching backwards, spat a volley of spines in Bo's direction. He dove backwards, narrowly a quick exit. The Queen charged.
Bo fired up his jet pack once more. The device croaked in protest, sputtering as it slid him backwards against the creep. He fired away at the oncoming monster as fast as his fingers would allow. Bo didn't aim and, frankly, he didn't have to: the thing was as big as it was ugly.
It was all useless. His Gauss Pistols were never intended for use against an armored hide, and most of his shots simply ricocheted off the Queen's ridged carapace.
Bo's jet pack died out, finally, and the Queen lunged forward with its mandibles barred. At the last possible second he rolled aside, narrowly avoiding impalement. Rising to his feet, Bo emptied his remaining rounds into the Queen's flank. It took him a moment to realize that he might as well have tickled it.
Again, the Queen lashed out with its talons and, again, Bo barely managed to avoid the lethal strike. This time he dodged forward, rolling straight under the creature and emerging on the other side. The Queen slowly pivoted in place to face him, taking its time to size up the lone human that had defied it so.
The Queen howled once more, as if it knew it had Bo on the ropes. Down and out. Defeated.
This time, though, there was no horror.
Bo unceremoniously tossed his spent Pistols aside and rubbed the fog from his lenses. With a toothy grin, he looked the Queen right in its beady little eyes and he laughed.
"Fear the Reaper Man," he growled.
The beeps grew steadily louder in increments.
Then, all at once, the clutch of D-8 charges stuck to the Queen's bloated green abdomen by duct tape exploded and lit up the night sky like a fireball.
It's not about you morrow but I did at least mention you at one point in the song... not exactly in a flattering way but I hope you'll be able to take it with humour

If Morrow doesn't give you a key, wait until Dustin hears this song. You will get a key for sure. The ending made me laugh pretty hard. This is a job well done.
Edit: I just went back a few pages. If I end up getting a few keys I will donate one to this competition, more than one of you deserve a key.

THE PITS
(of Despair)
A SC2 Map
By Cheree
Dimensions: 128x128 4 Player SC2 Melee Map (no mods required) Recommended Players: 1vs1, 2vs2, FFA Team Play: Top vs Bottom -or- Left vs Right Symmetric: Yes
Description: Your main is in a crater surrounded by ridges and cliffs. Breaking out gives access to two naturals. Be weary of ridges and backdoor paths.
Briefly, here's what to look for: - Main in a crater - Ridges behind main mineral line - Reverse ramp out of main - 2 semi-safe naturals, gets safer as the game goes on - path to one opponent's natural, blocked by 2 sets of destructible rocks - that path can be used to defend/attack high yield base - an open and low ground expansion at the sides of the map - crater in the middle with Xel-Naga tower that can see all the other 4 towers
Author's Note Hey all, this is my submission for the contest. I wanted to do something that I would be passionate about so that I could devote myself into it. While I won't be using the Galaxy Editor to its full potential, that is not my focus. I wanted to create a SC2 map that can be fun to play on both casually and competitively. Coming from this perspective, I didn't want to do anything crazy and revamp the whole game, so there are a few rules I put out for myself before I started getting creative. Some of them are: Have a main with a choke. Have a nearby natural. Don't stray from the number of patches/gas per base. Have a fair start location for everyone. These are just some of the rules I wanted to abide by.
Method It started out with a few sketches on paper, then I thought why not actually create the map with SC2 graphics? First I needed a grid. So I loaded up the beta (cracked ai) and took a screenshot of the grid made by an scv when he's commanded to build something. I copy/pasted that grid for what seemed like an hour until I got a grid of 128x128. Then I split up the map into quarters and drew some shapes to give me an approximate of how I wanted to design this map. Finally, I loaded up the beta again and went on a search to find the appropriate terrain, cliffs, all that and took screenshots. I copy/pasted the parts I wanted into ms paint to get the map layout I wanted. Sure, a lot of work, and kinda messy, but I'm happy with the result. If anyone wishes for me to upload the grid, let me know.
The Main You start off in a crater. How crazy is that!? Well, it leaves you vulnerable if you plan to 1-base and you get attacked. So it is not encouraged to turtle off of one base. There is a reverse ramp leading out of your base so you can still wall off either at the top or at the bottom of the ramp to defend against the early rushes. Be sure to break out early, cause you don't want the opponent to settle on the high ground for too long -- It'll be an 'uphill battle' if you catch my drift. Other things to watch out for is the ridge behind your mineral lines. It can be used by the opponent to do storm drops, siege tanks, ghosts, any ranged unit.. so it might be a good idea to make a few turrets, cannons, spore back there to defend. You can even drop a worker on top of that ridge and build your defensive structures there. there should be at least a few 2x2 squares.
Up the Ramp You made it out of the crater, congrats! You'll notice you're on relatively high ground now. It's a good place to be. It won't be that easy to set up defenses because there are two ramps the opponent can come up by, and there's a bit of distance between the two.
You'll also notice that you have a choice between two naturals. But why choose? Just get both! Seriously though, taking the natural means having to defend more ramps. If you slip up, you might find your forces in limbo when your opponent attacks. You also don't want your forces to get split up or allow a run by. Once you establish yourself on the high ground and both ramps defended, it should be smooth sailing. Or is it?
Natural 1 - Tunnel Vision The destructible rocks near this natural could lead to your opponents natural. It also towers over the high yield expansion. It's an important backdoor to consider, cause defending your two ramps might not be enough.
Natural 2 - Looking down This natural isn't as spiffy as the other one, but it overlooks a smaller low yield base that might be safer to hold depending on your opponent's position.

hy there, i hope i`m not late and i hope you like my "drawing" because i`m sick of playing against AI...
We all know that the Hydralisk got nerfed this is my vision about the new Hydra...
His name is buttercup, his wife changed it after they maried, she didnt liked his previeus name: "Burn" aka "the zealot destroier". He is the strong silent type. He likes long walks on the beach (Desert Oasis) He is also sensitive and is in touch with his feelings. Before he got married he was a party animal, he was drinking and chilling with his friends the muta and zerlings. One time he even drank some acid, just for the trill, and started spiting all around... He enjoyed hunting for marines and zealots... He can be stubborn, plodding, steady, almost too practical. However, he believes in traditional romance, with flowers, candy, and candlelit dinners. He values faithfulness and loyalty in romance.
His hobbies are walking around in the cornfield with his metal detector, treasure hunting, surfing, he doesn't need a board his slither helps him a lot. Every now and then he enjoys reading a good book. He doesnt like to brag but he`s owning at W3 tournaments, he`s a big fan !
He`s the man in the house, the provider, he always has the last word... at least that's what he thinks...here is a little picture of him I managed to make.
Let me tell you a story about the real hero of StarCraft. Joe.
When Joe was just a little boy, he didnt really have any dreams about what he wanted to be when he grew up. Sure, there was the standard fireman and superhero phases, but nothing that stuck. He sailed through his early education as a solid C student not worrying about a thing.
But after he was done with high school, and he had to start making big decisions, he realised something: he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life. None at all. Some of his friends went on to university, some got menial jobs and some went off to the army.
Then he started thinking: "what can I do to help out the most?". He thought about this for several months while staying with friends. One day when he was walking to the local grocerystore, he walked past a poster that caught his eye. "The UED wants YOU to help defend the planet".
"Wow", Joe thought. Defending the planet has to be the most exciting and glorius job there is! His brother Jim had already become a Confederate Marshal at this point, and had told him stories of the missions he had been on. Joe had never thought he could actually become a marshal, but he figured he could at least do something to help out. He went to his local recruiting office later that day.
- Hello, my name is Joe. I'd like to sign up for the UED. - Hey there son, thats great. What position did you have in mind? - Well, I'm not the brightest kid, I know that. But I would really like to help out with something important. - Okay, let me see what we got...
Joe's head was racing with thought. Could it be a medic? A tank operator? Maybe just a regular soldier? Or a vulture driver like his brother Jim started out with?
- Well Joe, we do have an assignment that is of the outmost importance availible. - What is it? - You will be operating heavy machinery, and it requires your full concentration throughout the entire mission. - Ok. Sounds good. - Now I don't want you to take this lightly, son. This is a critical mission and you will need to work very long hours. - Whatever it takes, sir. I'm your man!
I'm your man. Those words echo everyday in Joe's head. I'm your man. When Joe strapped in on the first day of his mission, he had no idea how long he would be there. For the first few years he was optimistic and really felt that he was doing a good deed. But after five whole years of sitting in that thing, he was exhausted.
The only thing that kept him going was news of potential renegotiations of the war. He hoped this could mean reassignment. Something, ANYTHING, other than this. But when the new war terms finally came through, after 12 whole years, the orders for Joe were still the same.
Sure the seat is slightly more comfortable, and the aiming equipment is upgraded, but it's still the same job. Going round and round and round. Endlessly. But Joe never loses his concentration. He never slacks off. He's a working class hero in the shadow of his brother. Joe Raynor.
TheShade me_frostyy@yahoo.com For Competition art work
The Archon - The merging
In times of great peril, two High Templar can take the final step down the Warrior's Path and merge themselves into the awe-inspiring Archon. By abandoning their physical form, the High Templar open themselves up completely to the Protoss gestalt, and they transform into a personification of pure rage. Protected by an immense energy shield, the fiery form of the Archon can wade through countless enemy troops, destroying them with massive bolts of raw Psionic energy. Those Templar that make this final sacrifice are honored forever in the scriptures of the Templar Archives.
Basic Concept: The concept for this is taken from Yin-Yang, (yin yang are complementary opposites within a greater whole) she is the passive element “the shield” and he is the active element “the attack”. Hope you all like it.
**I do not have a Photoshop license so this is done with pen + paper + paint. If you like the art work I can create more.
