TEKTEK STU-POT.
Because we'd all love to know what 2D looked like before the accidents... The other day, I was reading fanfiction where 2D was almost a completely different person than Stu-Pot (AKA 2D before Murdoc knocked him in and out of a coma) It got me thinking "What did 2D look like before the accident?" Was his hair always that spiky? Was his hair blue? What color were his eyes?
Now, I'd like you to join this Tektek contest, and enter in what you think 2D might have looked like when he was selling keyboards at Uncle Norm's Organ/Keyboard Emporium. Still seem cool? Read on.Watch the way I navigate: Intro | Rules/Guidelines | Entries | Links

RULES/GUIDELINES.
PLEASE READ THESE IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE. RULES:
1. The contest is open starting today, October 19, and will be open to submissions until October 31. Voting will run from October 31 to November 5. Prizes will be given out the evening of November 5.
2. Admission to this Tektek contest is 100g. The prize will be 1000g if 10 people enter.
3. You are allowed to enter one Tektek per 100g; this means that if you'd like to enter a second Tektek you'll have to pay another 100g.
4. In addition to avatars, you must write a description for your version of Stu-Pot. This is similar to entering the Avatar Arena, if you're confused. Avatars that do not have descriptions by October 31 will be disqualified.
5. Avatars will be judged through a poll system in which the entire guild will be invited to vote.
6. Please send all trades to me, gerard way in drag, with the words "Stu-Pot Tektek Contest" in the title. Otherwise, I'll just think you're giving me nice donations :0
GUIDELINES:
This is a Tektek contest, so you'll be submitting original avatars made using the Gaia Dream Creator from www.tektek.org/dream . The purpose of this contest is to make an avatar that you feel represents Stu-Pot.
It's completely up to you what hair, eyes, and fashion sense he had. Stu-Pot's biography might provide some details you'd like to work off of:Information on Stu-Pot (from the first Gorillaz press booklet) Saturday Boy Stu-Pot, a keyboard obsessive and nice kid dullard, is the star employee at Uncle Norm's Organ Emporium, on course to make regional manager. [Information about the car crash and Murdoc becoming 2D's caretaker goes here. Also stuff about how Stu-Pot got revived by flying through the windshield of Murdoc's car and smashing his head against the pavement] Stu-Pot's other eye is fractured, his mind is revived and he stands a young, black eyed god, with hedgehog hair and a vacant stare. Not only that, but his synth playing takes a serious turn for the weird. Watch the way I navigate: Intro | Rules/Guidelines | Entries | Links

ENTRIES.
Have you seen this Stu-Pot? All contest entries will be posted here. Remember, you have to write a description for your Tektek on how this avatar looks like a pre-accident 2D. Good luck to all the contestants!ENTRY 1: By Guerr!llaPop
"'Ello!" Stu-pot called out eagerly from behind the counter as he heard the familiar chime of the rusting bell hanging above the door, "Welcome to Uncle Norm's! How may I help you?"
"Dude. Stu. It's me." Stu-pot sighed. It was just Norm, back from his lunch break with a soggy bag of chips in hand. Norm was a shaggy, middle aged man with salt-and-pepper hair, a thick Cockney accent and a penchant for greasy fast food. He wasn't even anyone's uncle, as far a Stu knew. However, the man was a genius in his eyes. He could take the most decrepit of organs and make it new again, if not better. He had nurtured Stu since he was a young, awkward preteen, popping into the shop after school to test out the new arrivals.
"'Ey." After Norm took his usual place behind the counter, Stu-pot stepped out from behind him and sat himself down at an old '80s synth in the back corner of the shop. He noodled around a bit under Norm's watchful eyes with a cigarette hanging out of the corner of his mouth.
Stu loved being able to work at Uncle Norm's, but sometimes he wished for something more. Sometimes, he got tired of playing for just himself and Norm. He wanted something larger - Stu wanted a gig. He had been told he had talent countless times, but where was it all going? The only person who knew what he had to offer was standing over his shoulder with crumbs stuck in his beard as Stu blindly played 'Greensleeves'. Tucking the cigarette behind his ear, he wished that his big break would just come crashing through the window.
Suddenly, Stu heard commotion outside. Looking up from his keyboard, the honking of car horns bit at his ears as a beat-up Winnebago came crashing through the store window. Broken glass flew. Stu jumped up and desperately ran for the safety of the back room, but his spindly legs couldn't carry him fast enough.
Over all the racket, Stu heard the tinkling of the doorbell...
And then everything went black.Watch the way I navigate: Intro | Rules/Guidelines | Entries | Links

I might redo the thread and make it even longer and more convoluted.
Just kidding. I wouldn't do a thing like that.

er...yeah, I realize the deadline passed, but oh well, I had a faint idea, with him in his "Uncle Norm's Organ Emporium" uniform! Stuart Tusspot a.k.a. Stu-Pot, pre-Dents: description: 7:30 pm: closing time at Uncle Norm's. Norm had chosen 19-year old Stuart Tusspot to close the shop down. However, before locking up, he calmly lit up a f** and examined the store, trying to imagine being manager of such a large store. Glancing out the window, his thoughts started to drift. It wasn't even a thought: more like a meaningless piece of data to be processed, then thrown away. "Lookit, a Vauxhall Astra. I wonder if it's stoppin' by." He then noticed it wasn't looking to park. Then a few more thoughts came along. "It's not stoppin' to park. It must want good parking or summink'" "Okay...he just passed tha' closest spot...and it's not stoppin'" "It's headin' towards the door...and not slowing down..." "Er...it just broke through tha' door...""Why isn't it...is that car coming for ME?"...

Seriously, I love the few entries I got.
But sadly...I don't think I'll be hosting the contest. Too few people applied, and really, what's a 200g prize? (Not a heck of a lot)
So, I'm gonna send G!Pop her money back >_<
