Yeah! I'll totally take you up on that offer. These are really beautiful. (I like 25 best.)
Where's the 'vote-again' button? I need it!
We need a Super Vote button!!!
All votes are not cast equally!
Awesome!! The two portraits you just put up are frickin amazing. That is exactly how I imagine the inside of Lanks head!!!!
Cool website, I love the picturebox
Who knew?
You appropriating bastard! Well done!
I can't believe it either! Does this mean there is hope for this society after all?
(you don't want a portrait, i take it...)
but I'd take a watercolor portrait of her tatas....
i love the work, but this is war! The battle of boobs against brushes! (sounds kinda kinky...)
So that's how its gonna be, huh? [twists beard evilly] I await your visit then...
Sweet! Updated again, I think that means mine is comming next!! Yippie!!
Can you sense your impending doom, YellowBear?
Oops! I left my impending doom reflection shield on, perhaps it will be comming through to me clearer now. *flips a few switches* Ah yes... I feel it now...
Represent SF0. For real.
Oh, no. Don't get a SFØ tattoo. It may sound like a really good idea now, but...
haha, just wait and see. Think "Fly"
if you remember of course... :)
Where else does advertising mean free stuff for the consumer?
:) I love bribery for a good cause.
i still have 4 people ahead of me before I get mine!!!
Where's my Super Vote Button!?!?
Kind of makes me want to put back some of the pictures were you can actually see what I look like!
These are fucking awesome!!!
Did someone say tattoo? Free stuff for the consumer? Want both? Check this out.
Heh. heh.
YES YES YES! Updated in such a sweet way. EvilBear In the house!
Wow. These are wonderful. I'm jaw-dropped.
Wow, I can't believe that I just found this.. awesome!
one more left better make some more pict's of myself available!!!
I know so demanding… he has already put so much time into this task it would seem.
I think you're a little confused White Rabbit There are two more to go before your portrait
I was in on it all along and still got confused.
Why is me not so smart?
Representin' the Union Jack. British pride for life.
I'm touched that you used ink and tea. I thought it might interest you to see the rest of the image.
It was awesome to draw the lower bit and not know what the top looked like until now! Also, I like the rest of the image. I realize, now, how much I jacked up the proportions such that it doesn't line up at all! Nobody pay any attention to that, please...
It's really only a little off. It lines up nicely, a lot of it- besides? It's artist's interpretation.
Thanks everyone for voting for this task! The offer for the vote-portrait trade has ended (8/30/07). Feel free to keep voting for this task, although you will not receive a portrait for doing so. The following players will receive portraits:

I'll trade someone for their portrait rights...
I want to lobby for the fact theat Sean should get a special exception to your deadline. I'm sure he was just far too busy making SF0 work for all of us to vote in as timly a manner as was desired. But because he was working so hard for our benefit you should give him a personal exemption. You couldn't possibly be so villainous tht the rules couldn't be bent a little.
I think that The Villain should keep his professional integrity by sticking to his original gumption. I am sure another exchange or arrangement could be made between the two. Esp. considering Sean's resources.
I agree with malaki! I know I don't want to live in a world where the Villain becomes less villain-y!
I keep trying to vote a second time, and the button keeps not being there.
Fucking super vote bitches.
Don't place a vote Make a vote!
oh my gosh!
Are you suprised to concur with me kitty?
Glad you joined the good fight; nice ears!
oh reeght. Um de hur de hur de hur... thet's faer. reel faer!
iff yuoo meke-a ixcepshun tu rooles fur mun leeke-a mehun und nut fur svedeesh i cume-a et yuoor fece-a und yuoor ert brooshes leeke-a muneec kneefes in crezy toon!!!
GOOD LORRRD PEINT-A ZHE LO TECH
Perhaps, YellowBear, you would consider trading your portrait for Sean's...
Just sign on the dotted line below. In blood.
______________________________________
a) because I also want one and b) because the number of votes accumulated thus far is clear evidence of your success with this task.
I check this page at least 5 times a day.
I think I enjoy the anticipation at least as much as I will love the painting.
I did that too... and then as soon as I gave up I got a pleasant suprise in my inbox.
Shabang!
I should really meditate on my player pic and give my comments a voice that match that persona. I mean... he really captured my nose. I just noticed he missed my one white eyebrow... but most do. I always hear rocket noise in the background of my pic.
By the way, just thought I'd add my two cents (or 0.9 pence over here) to this comment monolith.
Your artwork is BUH-MAZING.
Absolutely BUH-MAZING.
oops...... almost looks like the vixen stenciled all over my face....
well it was sweet antianonymity while it lasted.
Damn that Vixen, stenciling over your face.
Maybe I DID stencil all over your face. After what you did to my camera...
I forgot about this task, then had a massive gasp when I realized I hadn't checked it for a week...
I intend to make you suffocate with anticipation.
I have perished of anticipation suffocation, and have returned as an anticipation zombie.
That said, I've always enjoyed anticipation as much as the object of desire, so don't hurry.
And as we know, the object of desire is all part of the trajectory of desire, furthering us in our SFZero domination tactics.
*cough* Especially Equivalenz *uncough*
Be the first to complete this task, and you shall be awarded with a Super Vote.
Behold! Anticipatory resurrection!
My god, man. You are a talented villain.
well done, you villain, you. i've been waiting for these updates!
p.s. cameron's is UN-FUCKING-REAL!
I like how the votes are all slowly turning into a mini portrait gallery!
Perhaps I should document growth.
I can't stop looking at them.
Happy birthday, chap! May your exploits be happy and point-reaping :)
A birthday? As in with cake and lemonade?
A happy birthday to you then, sir.
My men will be over shortly with a 21-Sun Galoot.
despite your wickedness, I still wishes you well on your birthday.
This shit rocked my world...
Wicked B-day wishes from some random guy
(may this happen to you)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
EVIL VILLAIN!
your birthday task
Today, we must celebrate the anniversary of your birth, and pray this is the last year of your evil reign...
Not really.
I meant that in a nice way. (cake has to be pretty good before one wants to bury one's face in it).
If only someone would give me a face-burying cake.
i vote for this in spite of the expiration date because a) it is excellent and b) you have a web address with a .biz extention.
omg rofl luv,
larablack.com.biz.edu
*is still dying*
I check back here all the time. I'm so sad.
You are not alone, dragonscales. I don't know how Darkaardvark can stand it.
Hahaha.
Good point there, Spidere.
I hope Villain is actually still doing these, because they're too awesome not to continue with them.
Don't worry, he is. Still working on them :)
I hope he hasn't forgotten...
I mean, I guess I'd understand it, him being a Villain and all.
That and retiring.
But I think we'd all forgive his coming back to finish this one last dangling thread.
Right?
I don't believe he has forgotten.
I believe he has fled.
T'underin' Jaysus - A hun'erd an' t'ree cahmmentss?
I kinda feel like you accidently documented the future with this portrait as I have since grown that stash. Nice and nicely done.
I wonder how many times Darkaardvark checks this page hoping for an update.
I have Spidere's monitor pointed at this bad boy.
Just in case.
I like it. Advertising for an actual self-made product. Nice.
