What have I been doing?! GAH ..right I forgot about this post here! Better update huh?! Updating my art in spoiler tags! Still trying to figure out a date for the Iron Chef (SO been busy/ procrastinating that ...BAD NOX..) BUT this has been what I have done BESIDES The Iron CHEF art. I been living in my tumblr more! My grand apologies.

[align=center]I GOT the artwork done and is on the main post! Congrats again!! I will talk with the judges tomorrow to figure which day we will run this again! Please stay tuned....[/align]

Though the competitors were low (7 total) the watchers were high! And it was wonderful fun. EDIT: SCREENIES -- http://i.imgur.com/OSCiAjy.png?1[/img] http://i.imgur.com/s3q40nW.png[/img] http://i.imgur.com/GvTyQGE.png[/img] http://i.imgur.com/kCW0ITb.png?1[/img] In the end our finalists were: Second place: Izayoi Ashikaga with a simple Kebab with perfect presentation Third place: Zarconen Maquesh - With a well done Buffalo Curry. Yet its nothing to our finalist !! [align=center][/align] [align=center]Adrienaure Lefebvre[/align] [align=center]pasta with mushroom and leeks[/align] Well done to our Iron chef winner and pray it was a fun event! I know nox had fun even if the Bowl of Embers dish numbed her tongue so much she couldn't judge. I will update main post as well as here once her art is done! Congrats to Adrienaure once again!!

FAST reminder! Iron Chef is ready to GO! Competitors and on lookers, the event starts at 10pm EST. WARD 8 MIST - Seagaze markets.

Its a bit of a scary learning curve (tool wise) ..BUT once you get it and understand that its not photoshop (requires you to understand the fundamentals of real paints if you use the oil and watercolor brush) its amazing. Sketchbook is nice but crashed when I had to many layers so I use the brushes as a finisher after my MS piece is done.

I'll put in my two cents! I personally use a Intuos Pen small (I guess it was once the 4..I have the newer renamed one). Its small enough so I can toss it in my bag and take my laptop and art on the go if I'm out. Program wise I actually use 3. Manga studio 5 for the pen control since some days my hands shake, I use Krita for some of the brushes then Sketchbook pro for a different brush set if I must. Though I mainly live in MS5.

After a fun practice run with judges, they brought up good points, slight edits to the rules and etc! All added stuff I put in red! I am excited and nervous on this! So bare with me if it does not go smoothly but pray it will be fun.

FRECKLED LALA! I want the lala! Gimme the lalaaaaa -snags slot so damn fast and picks up her pen- *PLACE HOLDER SHO IS MINE* DONE! CUZ OMG lalas and TURTLES( I got a lil carried away and had a lil to much fun *cough*) Edit: Oh right was so excited on drawing a lala I forgot to put my ref e.e" Minox(Moxie) ref: REF & Ref2 Personality: Social bug, strong headed, independent, cold but has a heart once past her wall, sassy, LOVES being drunk, gambling(usually loses). Yet has a bit of odd elegance to her rough antics.

Updated my post! I was intimidated and a lil scared. But I did it >>

EDIT: DECIDING MOVING MOUNTAINS CUZ WE NEEDS MORE ROES~ (my first attempt at a roe in gen) Minox ref: REF & Ref2 Personality: Social bug, strong headed, independent, cold but has a heart once past her wall, sassy, LOVES being drunk, gambling(usually loses).

(Free publicity of your establisment) http://i.imgur.com/uRxwnKj.png[/img] Logo for the Eorzean Iron Chef made by me! Minox/Surilian IRON CHEF RETURNING: Friday, March 4th, 2016 @10pm est Food theme: *mystery ingredient will be unveiled at the event* - better think fast on your feet! -Finalists can freeform your signature dishes at the end! *note- ingredient will be lore friendly and I'll be sure to pick something that will go well in a meal as well as a baked good for those IC bakers! Location: Mist - Ward 8 - Seagaze Markets [align=center]http://i.imgur.com/M5lZE6U.jpg?2[/img] [/align] [align=center] [/align] [align=center] COOK OFF RULES - Welcome to Eorzea's Iron Chef[/align] We ask people to be at least lvl 1 Culinary. Come on put that pan on! Be creative! Don't limit yourself to just what menu items that are in the culinary meals. BUT please use lore friendly ingredients. (we will be lenient if you say potato instead of popoto though) If you want to make a whole new dish! HELL YES PLEASE! Make sure its edible! If you decide to be a smart ass and cook a boot...and you win?! I'm going to improvise it and make it edible and boot shaped in your name instead. THIS IS FOR FUN! But there is a prize! This will be decided entirely with /random. HOW does that work?! I'll explain soon. But if your cook IC is prideful (like mine) Expect your ego to shatter if your rolls are terrible! Maybe you turned the heat up to high. Its ok! Claim the pressure was to much! Your character doesn't really need to know how to cook. For all you know that black mage suddenly can make a damn good grilled steak out of no where! Maybe you have a Aether allergy. ACHOO! Instant pasta! Since it's /random its open to anyone that wishes to try their luck. I'm not expecting a big turn out but I will try to have back up judges to watch rolls/ keep things going if it turns out to be higher in number. (if you want to help keep track of rolls..I'd love the help!) LAST RULE once AGAIN! HAVE FUN!!!!! Drama and negative actions will be dealt with accordingly. *Vengeful cooks, fights, and trying to ruin your competitor's dish will result in disqualification and probably ruin your cooking rep* HOW IT WORKS: Participants will stand in line just like you would in Grindstone and Runestone. They will be paired off just like you were sparing. BUT here is the twist! You are cooking and trying to make your 'quality' better. Just like you were crafting. THATS RIGHT! THIS IS CRAFTING! YOU BETTER HQ THIS! We have decided that even if turn out is low, we will sort out competitors and assign them to their respectable judges for their section. Imagination comes in play here: All contestants will be handed a hand full of Lowland grapes. I'll explain soon why. Contestants will 'craft' their food using their 'tables'. Think what you wish to make! You don't have to tell us until you finished your dish! The pair will have 4 emote /randoms to craft their amazing creation. Rolls will be ADDED UP ALL TOGETHER in the end! The higher number, the better the quality and probably it tastes damn good! (or hope so...) Highest added up number wins their round. (example: Cracked a egg /roll 5, Mixed it up /roll 560, poured it in a pan and baked in the oven /roll 150, Pull it out and let it cool /998 = 1,713 Food quality but your opponent's rolls add up to 3,000 ...sorry you lost.) On the rare occasion there is a tie (would be shocking), we ask master chefs to face off making a dessert. This will consist with 1 emote then following /random roll to break the tie. Those that lost will be ask to join the crowd while the winners will be asked to stand aside. Winners will face off each other in the same manner until only 1 is left standing. USELESS ADDED TIDBITS: Judges are required to wear uniform- The company tabard in any color. Judges are to be marked with the looking for meld icon- That way even in a crowd you can find them. Healers are marked with the looking for party- on the rare chance you roll a 0 and set your face on fire or cut off a finger...we have a single medic at this time to put your finger back on. Bouncers are required to wear the best man's wear uniform. They will be assigned to a judge to oversee their area and protect their master chef overlord. :moogle:Want to help?! : You can get a hold of me ingame - Minox Moks, or here in forums! What I am looking for : Back up artists - just in case I can't do a bi weekly character. I'll give you the specifics on what should be done. Donations of other prizes if you wish. Food vendors - pass out the winning dishes to the crowd!
