Who wouldn't want a new friend like that to squeeze?

For this contest, we want you to show us what YOU think one of the future Madballs should look like. What if you were in charge of coming up with designs for some new Madballs? What kinds of bizarre creations would you come up with? Would your Madball have a particular theme?

In order to be eligible for one of the prizes, you must create some kind of new Madball design for your entry to count. Feel free to use any pre-existing graphics/photos to integrate into the design of your new Madball if you're unable to draw it from scratch or build a model from scratch. Also, make sure you give your new Madball an original name! We also encourage you to share any bio info about your new Madball creations.

Your entries can come in one of two formats:
1) You can physically create a Madball model using your own arts 'n craft supplies.
2) You can draw concept art of your Madball.
3) You can Photoshop a Madball with various images you found on the web.

As usual, this contest will be judged on creativity and humor.

If you have any questions still, feel free to ask.

Al Gore was right! We're killing the planet with deadly greenhouse gases, but little did even he know that these greenhouse gases, when combined with mutagenic radiation and the Gaia effect, transform the Earth into...

He's already made a meal out of the moon and is now setting his sights on Mars. If the mile-high tsunamis from the sudden continental shift didn't kill you, the rapid break from orbit will probably do the trick.

Hmm. Is this not spinning for anyone else? I'd upload it to my own site, but that doesn't seem to work at the moment. If you right-click and view the image, its amazing GIFtastic properties should kick in, though.

I touched them up and colored them in Photoshop, though.

I figured if I added the other vile contender of evil from the 80s, the cabbage patch kids, to
pretty much anything hilarity would ensue. Behold! My "mad ball", named Cabbage-Dijon Ball. Evil? Indeed!

Ok, i just finished mine and here it is! =] Aside from entering the contest, I really wanted to play around with a toy idea for some time now. This was really fun to do!
The image explains this guys background. As vague as it is. I hope you guys like it.

BTW, just how many can we submit? I want to do more but I think due to my job, am only able to do this one for now.
Alright well, this would be my submission. Enjoy!

As it states in the contest rules, you can submit as many entries as you like. Nice job btw, I dig the entry and hope to see more from ya!

Keep up the great work everybody! :picklehat

Hi, I'm from Brazil and this is my first entry. Sorry my lousy english. I like to call this guy "The Master Psicho Sonic The Hedgehog Ball of Death and Destruction", but you can call it just Psicho Sonic Ball if you want. Hell, you can call it even "Patrick the Pirate" if you want, I dont care.

[Superunknown]

And now I realized I dont have a clue about how to post images here. Can someone help me out? I would really apreciate. It's a JPEG file.

[jared]

Welcome to the internet, Brazil. Go to www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com), make a new account, then upload the file. Then you can post the photobucket link here.

[Mockery]

Jared is correct. You just upload your images to an image host such as photobucket (or a server of your own). You cannot host them locally on your own computer.

From there, you would simply post the link to the image in between the [IMG] tags.

[Superunknown]

Thanks dudes. Here it is then, the Psicho Sonic Ball...

Who would ever think a quirky Matt Dillon film from the 80's would inspire a Madball?

Well, I'm done. Good luck to everyone who entered!

[Mockery]

Ok, the results are in and here are your winners!

Slobulus - one 3rd place vote, two 2nd place votes, one 1st place vote (Ol' Saint Sick)
MysticJoJo - two 2nd place votes, one 1st place vote (The Inconvenient Truth)
Madman914 - two 3rd place votes (various)

It was really close between 1st and 2nd place, but Slobulus squeaked by with one more vote than MysticJoJo. Congrats to all our winners and thanks to everybody who entered. It was definitely one of the harder contests we've had to judge in recent times, so kudos to all of you who sent in some entries.

To the winners, please send me a PM with your full name and mailing address info along with your prize selections, and I'll send them out as soon as possible.

If you didn't win, don't fret, we have some great new contests coming up this month, so keep your eyes peeled for 'em!

[Slobulus]

Oh wow! Cool! :) Hey thanks a lot for putting up such a cool contest. I had lots of fun with this.
Although the madball contest is now over, I will still be designing more madballs and actually produce them out of latex foam once I sculpt them out. =]

Everybody rocked these. Good stuff everyone.
I'll send my pm over in a min. Thanks again. :)

[MysticJoJo]

I'd like to think I did really well, considering I went up against a madball itself. There's no shame in second, especially in that scenario.

[Madman914]

I'm just glad as hell to at least make 3rd, especially since there were so any great ideas.
