Digicom + Njthug = CRAZY
Welcome back all you old Sk artists, and those new ones for those who do not know this is 1 of the biggest Spiral Knights Art contest hosted by Digicom and myself. Our goal is simple to allow the community of Spiral Knights to create A LOT of sexy Sk art! Basically any type of art is allowed in this contest excluding textual art (Fan-fics, Poems, etc.)
Why?:
When:
Media:
All of the artwork submitted will be blogged on Bechamel's Gossip
(The Official Echo of Silence Blog)
Link: http://bechamelsgossip.tumblr.com
Feel free to follow us on tumblr, and like any of the submissions <69.
What's new for this year?:
MOAR PRIZES!! Yes folks we are giving out more prizes than last year since let's be honest 190k+ ce was a bit low. A lot of new categorizes, and certain categories will be worth a bit more! Oh Digicom also told me he has a few surprises in store for us!
Prizes:
Categories 1 to 17 will have the same prizes awarded
Consolation Prize --- Anyone who enters a valid entry will receive 69 ce!
Categories 18 to 19 will have the same prizes awarded
Consolation Prize --- Anyone who enters a valid entry will receive 69 ce!
Rules:
Judges:
All judging will be done by myself and Digicom! We may have a special guest judge, but we will see what happens.
About the both of us:
Digicom and Njthug meet very randomly! Nj was in need of some cash and he saw a sexy Digicom, and asked him if he was looking to buy a few items, but it ended up this business deal was the start of a great friendship! Digicom and Njthug pretty much realized that we are both pretty crazy, and well crazy people belong together. After months n months of persuasion Digi joined Njthug in Eos where they live happily ever after with their wives Misobutt n Taters!
The End!
We are still looking for more judges, and currently the two others we are eyeing are:
Certain art pieces might be judged by the community as a whole without you knowing it so in a sense players will be picking a few winners.
How to Submit Your Art:
Post in this thread with the following format:
Questions you may have:
Will your guild members be submitting art work?
Why are you guys letting your guild members submit artwork?
Since Eos is dead we figure no one will really submit art work from Eos!
What type of artwork can I submit?
Side-Note:
If you change your in-game name make sure to update your submissions with your current in-game name! We will be mailing out prizes with the given in-game-name if the name is changed we can’t give you your prize!

3. As the water is heating up, rinse your veggies/fruits and put bread into toaster

9. Grab your toast and place it on a plate then put your salad on top of it

After filling the pan/pot with cold water, gently crack the egg against the pan/pot IN THE WATER. Note: It might be difficult to peel the egg so don't feel too upset if it doesn't look perfect.
11. Wipe the egg with a paper towel after peeling it then place it on top of your toast & salad

Category Name *With #*: Cat 18 - Cook For Us!
Title of your artwork: Roasted Gourdling with Apocrean Rice Stuffing
Link to Artwork: Tumblr, yo
Art Work Description:
Ingredients
This recipe was created using a gourdling head that was almost six lbs, so adjust accordingly. Double the filling recipe for a Punkin head of the same weight.
1 Gourdling head, or Punkin King head if available (I used a butternut squash, but would recommend a pumpkin if available, as it's less carving. Any other hollow winter squash would work too, although the texture of a spaghetti squash might be a bit strange in this case)
1/4 cup Apocrean rice (You can find black rice at some specialty shops, and occasionally at Costco. If you can't find it, wild rice, brown rice, or a mix of the two would work, according to your preference. Keep in mind you may need to adjust your cooking technique if you make the substitution)
1/4 cup dry couscous
2 cups Snipe broth, divided
1/2 - 1 cup your choice of cheese, grated (I used medium cheddar because that's what was in my fridge, but I think a smoked gouda may be better next time)
4 - 6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb cured Chromalisk (if you're not a fan of bacon, use diced ham and omit step 4)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup onions, shallots, or chives, chopped
1/2 teaspoon powdered bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon tarragon
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit
2. Prepare Apocrean rice by boiling 1 cup of Snipe broth. Add the rice and cover, cooking for about half an hour, or until tender. Set aside
3. Bring the remaining cup of Snipe broth to a boil, add couscous, and let sit for 5 minutes. Set aside.
4. Fry cured Chromalisk until crisp, then crumble
5. Open Gourdling head by cutting a long slice from one side (see picture) and hollowing out the empty space in the center. Retain seeds for toasting later, if you wish (butternut and acorn squash seeds are, in Tevvie's opinion, far superior to pumpkin seeds for roasting). You'll want to cut out some of the squash in the center of the long end to hold your filling (careful, this can be tricky!); keep the extra squash for another recipe, as you won't need it here. If using a Punkin head, hollow it out as if for a jack-o-lantern. Keep the piece of gourd you cut off; you'll use it as a lid during baking.
6. Combine the Apocrean rice, couscous, cheese, meat, onions, and herbs, then place inside Gourdling head
7. Place your Gourdling in a baking dish: a dutch oven, roasting pan or caldera works best. Use the smallest one your gourd fits into.
8. Pour the heavy cream over the filling inside the Gourdling and put the lid of the gourd on.
9. Bake for about two hours, or until a fork pierces the skin easily. Remove the lid of the gourd for the last half hour
10. Serve as slices for a Gourdling, or wedges for a Punkin. Can be paired with a salad and/or bread as a full meal or served more sparingly as a side dish.
To feed vegetarian knights, replace Snipe broth with vegetable broth and omit cured Chromalisk.
