WINNER(S) Moist!'s design has been chosen (again) as the entry which will be on the shirts! Costs will be determined at a later date, and a small modification to the text will be done. Congraaatulations! The depicted design will be printed en-masse on the BZPower member's t-shirts at Lego conventions for the 2011 season. BUT WAIT. Brave Dragon's design is the nominal winner with the most votes, and that deserves more than a digital pat on the back. We were unable to use it for mass printing due to size issues, however this shirt will be featured as a special order shirt only. When announced, you can order your copy of this shirt, however it will not be produced for sale at conventions. So give a large round of keyboard-clapping for our two winners of 2011! =D ~EW~

If only colours were allowed (though I'd be willing to make an exception in this case!) The design: and the shirt itself: BZPower. Blog like a man, man. ~EW~

-VOTING- Time's up! What does this mean? What happens now? Well, easy: voting. "How does this work?" You review the list of entries listed below, pick your favourites, and then list the top three, in your opinion, in order that you like them. Once the voting ends at midnight on the 18th, PST, the top three voted entries will be carefully milled over by my staff and I and we will decide on which one to print, based on cost and ease of printing. We will try to adhere to the ranking of the voting, though, so if the #1 winner is easy to make, we'll do it. The winner gets to have a free shirt, and he or she can either pick it up at a convention or get it mailed before a convention and before everybody else, for that matter. Here are your options. When picking, just list the number of the entry you're voting for. 1. just cherixon (First entry, image one) 2. just cherixon (Second entry, image one) (Second entry, image two) 3. Moist! (Entry image) Note: I am aware this has two colours in it, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt for now since he is last year's winner. We'll figure out what to do about it once/if he wins. 4. tent163phantoka:spaz sheep (Entry image) 5. Swert (Entry, image one) (Entry, image two) 6. Vezok's Friend (Entry image) (Variant image) 7. Brave Dragon (Entry image) 8. Celu (First entry image) 9. Celu (Second entry image) 10. ~Legion~ (Entry image) 11. HAZMAT (Entry image) And there you have it! Vote now, wear later. ;D ~EW~

Announcing... That's right folks. The smash hit from last year that got rrrraaaavveee reviews at BrickFair is returning for another season! EW-TV exec EW has decided to fund this wonderful show. For those of you who don't know much about this, here's the gist. In late 2009, a few members decided to take matters into their own hands and create a T-Shirt specifically for other members, since the staff has their own shirts to distinguish them. The idea was simple: the members design the shirts and then vote on their favorites, encouraging and testing their ideas and imaginations. The winner gets to have his design printed (by Bionicle Raptor) and then sold to anyone who orders them or stops by at the select conventions the shirts will be at! In addition, there might be some really really cool prizes other than having your shirt produced, but more on that at a later date! Rules and Regs: 1. Designs can be in any form, really. Use a shirt template, use a blank white square, I don't really care. You can use pretty much any editing software or medium to do it, too! (MS Paint, Sketchbook, GIMP, Photoshop, hand drawn sketch on a paper plate, tattoo on your chest.) 2. Your design should be on either the front or back, but it cannot be on both sides or include the sleeves. Those are both hard to do and more expensive. 3. You can choose any colour you want. We may change it at the production stage, but will try to remain true to your vision. You can choose one colour only and only one colour you may choose!~ More than one will be too expensive. With that in mind, the design should be clear enough for people to see, and you can choose the colour of the shirt. Last year's design was white print on blue and green shirts. It worked well and is like what we want this year. 4. Your designs can be anything you want if it is pertinent to BZPower and/or Bionicle! No restrictions! So long as it follows the above pointers. However, nothing too complex. It won't be disqualified but we will have final say after the polls close. 5. It must be your original design. No Galactic Imperial emblem or Old Spice banners, although integrating Isaiah Mustafa in it is a-ok. FAQ: Q: Can I put my name in the design (so people know who made it)? A: No. Trust me, people will know who made the design. Q: Are there specific colours we're limited to? A: No. See rule #3 above. Q: Can I submit multiple designs? A: Yes! The more the merrier. Keep in mind that only one design will win in the end, though. Q: When are all submissions due? A: See end of entry below. Q: Do I submit designs here? A: No. This is the discussion entry. Submissions are to be posted in the Submissions Entry. All submissions in this entry will be deleted. Q: Can staff submit designs, too? A: Let me put it this way: If you're in a member group on BZPower, you're able to submit something. All submissions are due by March 12th. This date is flexible, but it will likely not be any later than that! So what are you waiting for? Get to it! Remember, this is a MEMBER'S T-SHIRT, and it's not possible without the MEMBER'S involvement! ~EW~

My, am I lazy or what! XD So, guys, announcement: The BZPower Member T-Shirt Project is finished with the pre-production phase. This means we've already selected the design, and the shirts are in fact already being created, if they have not been finished at this time. Winner: Chunky!/whatever he's called We took this image and put it to use, and the finished product looks something like this. What does this mean? Well, it means I'm done for now. I put it together, thanks to Nukaya handing the project to me, and got the contest moving and made sure we had our bases covered. Bionicle Raptor is the shirt maker, and he lives up to his title, working on shirts... right about now. Check his blog out for details on that. What is the product availability? The shirts, as advertised by BR, are a low price of $5 each. This is subject to change, but for now, it's at $5. If you didn't place a hold on a shirt, we might have extras to sell, but that's a maybe. The shirts will not be available at BrickWorld. Sorry, but we can't do it. BrickFair, Con, and Fest, however, will have shirts. Also, if the handmade ones by BR are sold out at BrickFair, the shirts sold at the other conventions will be either mostly or completely factory-made shirts, meaning that price will have hiked up for them because of costs. I'll be in charge of the creation for those shirts. If you cannot be at any of those conventions and still want one, contact BR and he will send one out to you via postal system. However, this will not be done until after BrickFair. I want BFair to be the project's grand opening, and it would be detracted if there were already shirts leaking out and about. I'd say the first batch of shirts is a real bargain! If you havn't pre-ordered, hurry up-- there might be time left to secure a copy. Because when these are gone, they're gone! That said, see ya in another life, brother. [/Desmond] ~EW~

Phew, finally kicking this project into gear! click > Contest entry is here < click First things first: "What are you guys doing?" You look in those pics of BrickFair or BrickFest and see those staffers in them snazzy BZPower staff shirts? Then you see the members wearing their rainbow of a wardrobe, looking all... yanno... normal? (Seriously, guys-- you're Lego fans from BZPower. You're not allowed to look normal.) And then you want to, if you ever go to one of these conventions, have some sort of uniformity to make y'all look all sharp and awesome? The aptly-named BZPower T-shirt Project is intended to address this and more! Imagine walking down the halls of the Tyson's Corner hotels in your lovely BZPower member's t-shirt, getting admiring oohs and ahhs from passerby as they dig your sexy and snazzy member's shirt, catching whiff of your lovely perfume or cologne (perfume and cologne sold separately). You can walk with pride and without a care in the world in your custom-made BZPower member's t-shirt. "Sounds epic. What do the shirts look like?" See, that's the thing. We don't know. We don't even have a design or even know what colour the shirts will be. Why? Because you guys get to design the shirts. Yes, not only will you get to wear the shirts, you will also take pride in a sense of artistic ownership of the designs on the garment. Imagine you walking down the hallway of the hotel again. "Oh, nice shirts!" a cute girl says in that carefree Southern accent. "Where'd ya get them?" "I [helped]* make them," you respond. "Oh, rad!" she says. She may even ask for your number. * added because we trust you will have some degree of decency and humility and not take all the credit. "So, how does this work?" We'll have a few days of spreading the word around, and I encourage you to put on a Project banner (Nice assortment here! =D Thanks Lazzy!) and link to this entry from your blogs, if you have one. After this PR period, I will start a contest here in this blog, also posting rules and stuff when we decide on them. Once the contest finishes, we will look at the entries and decide on the one we will use on the T-shirt. Then, voila! They will magically appear and be available at BrickFair this August. "Just BrickFair?" No! They'll also be available at BrickCon this fall, and BrickFest next spring, depending if we have enough interest. "I'm staff. Can I have one too, pweese?" Absolutely! You're all members, too. =D "I don't have any plans to go to any of those conventions. How can I still get a shirt?" Depending on your location and your desire to get a shirt, we may (or may not! haha!) be able to ship a shirt to you. =3 BZPower T-shirts Project steering committee: - EmperorWhenua (The Boss) - Bionicle Raptor (The T-shirt Printer) - SK (Part-time graphic artist) - You Comments, questions, concerns, and such go here. ~EW~

See this entry for information if you dunno what this is about. "Okay, so what now?" Not to worry! I have this all planned out! ... I think. Here we are. The contest. Okay. So. "What do we do now?" Now you submit your entries for the BZPower Member's T-Shirt. In this entry, you can submit designs, patterns, or ideas you feel can/should be implemented. You should also have a short paragraph explaining why your design is the bomb and what is in it. Here, like this. _____________________ **** Name: Put your username here. Description: Tell me what is special about your design and why it should be chosen. _____________________ **** "What medium can the designs be in?" Anything you have! Scanned drawing or sketch, Photoshop manipulation, MSPaint collage, anything! We just wanna see what you got; we don't care how it looks or how it was made. "I can't do art worth a flying carp. What can I do?" Ask around. Ask friends online or off and see if you can find someone who can make your design for you, then submit it. Or you could just try your best! : D "When is the contest over?" Tentatively, the 10th of April. You have some time to work on it, but remember, you still gotta work! ;D So get started! Update: The contest is now closed for entries. I'll figure out what to do with these... submissions shortly. xP List of Entrants: Name: Cap'n K Design: (Entry) (Gallery with variations) Description: It's got Hapori Tohu and the three virtues. And perhaps a witty phrase underneath. Nothing fancy, but eyecatching and simple. The "witty phrase" examples aren't really funny, I just figured I'd throw a few in to show the gist of it. Name: Cherixon Entry: HERE! Description: Well, it has Hapori Tohu, and I overall like the simpleness of the design. However, I will be making it in different colors and such, and that would just be the front. I'll make the back of the Tshirt soon. Name: Robo Design: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/toamon2/thi...tshirtfront.jpg Front http://www.majhost.com/gallery/toamon2/things/tshirtback.jpg Back Description: It proclaims our pride in big boastful letters, and its got Master Tohu on the backand, and its easy to make B) Name: Chibinuva Designs: here here here and here. Description: Different shirts each with a hand-drawn mask and complementing base (the masks are in their usual colors) along with the black, smaller, italic text above labeling the mask, and bold, larger, colored text saying "Official BZPower Member." I went with complementing colors and the traditional kanohi of old. Also, the background color for each design represents the color of the shirt. I only made four because I'm not a very good artist and the other two masks (the kakama and the kaukau) are hard to draw. If someone else wants to draw them that would be great. For those the kakama would be brown with a purple background (I don't know what shade) along with blue-colored text. The kaukau would be blue with a yellow background and brown text. Good luck to those entering! Name: Dirty Burrito Design: Front, Back Description: Thinking of BIONICLE, the very biggest, most iconic, most easily recognizable and importantly, coolest character that springs to mind is Tahu. So I took an old image of him from the animations for nostalgiac reasons, and because it is easy to look at and see Tahu in it. On the back, I put where the website is and what it is. I'm thinking the t-shirt can be blackish/redish to fit the image. Name: MatoroIgnika Entry: Design Description: Well, Its unique in the fact I used gradients on pretty much all the text, and four different type fonts. That coupled with the fact its not symmetrical makes it out of the ordinary. > . And to finish it off Its pretty much simple and to the point. Name: Element Lord of Light Entry: Front Back Description: Very simple. A picture of Tohu on the front with the words BZPower. Nice and simple. Your username goes on the back. Just as simple. I used a Dark blue background because that's the color I always thought a BZP shirt should be. Name: Sisen Put Ur Design Here: Link Description: It’s cheesy, distasteful, and awesome. What better way for BZP members to show some class than were a necktie t-shirt sporting a Hapori Tohu pattern? It is the bomb. The three Tohu heads is symbolic as they represent B Z P and Unity, Duty, Destiny. Now you’re probably wondering, how will people know what the shirt is about without any fancy text saying what it is about? That’s the best part. When people see oodles of us members wearing the same shirt they are bound to ask what it is, and we get to tell them. Name: Protosteel Design:Link Description: It's got the shiny "BZPower" text from the front page, a nice Hapori Tohu design (original thanks to Shine, I gave it some shades of gray and made minor alterations), has the BZP "catchphrase," and then on the back there's a UDD symbol. What more could you want!? Name: Chunky! (currently Max Power) Design: Entry | Gallery (with variations and back) Description: I dunno. Just felt like making this. As you can see this magnificent t-shirt is pimp'd out with BZPower's logo, and Toa Mata masks... on a 45º angle. That's right. A 45º angle. Also, if needed, I can provide a high-res pic or the Adobe Illustrator file. Name: Nukaya the Awesome Entry: Design Also on a shirt Description: Oh, where to begin. I half-blame Sisen for this, but I went along with it anyway. Originally, it was going to be Hapori Tohu made up of a bunch of words, but timewise, it just wasn't happening, so this was the final product. Basically, we compiled this ginormous list of all these words that were related to BZPower. Then we were all "oh hey, we need more words. Hmm....", so we added all off the current staff (as of right this minute according to that one topic and maybe a few people who used to be admins) names, because the staff are a huge part of keeping the site running smoothly. Added a dash of Hapori Tohu to it, and voilà. The design is a big mash-up of all this wacky stuff related to BZPower, but we're more or less like that: this big, totally awesome community of fans spread around the globe who are united by a common interest and a lot of random other stuff. It's pretty darn cool. (it's past midnight. What I just wrote will probably make no sense to me in the morning....) Entries: 11 Post komments, kwestions, kriticisms, or komplaints here. (Oh, and kntries, too. ) Banners! hey guise, I was gonna try and sneak these to you for free, but then Lazzy came along and went all *nagnag* on me, so remember to give credit to Lazok when you use these banners (cuz I know you will!)
