It's time for another Screenshot Competition!

Here's how it works:

At the start of each competition, the rules will be stated in the first post and any changes from the standard set of rules will be shown in bold for emphasis, along with the Theme and the Deadline. The Theme is a word, phrase, or description that each entry is based on and will set the basis for judging at the end of the competition. Each user can submit one (1) screenshot each. When the deadline is up, the topic will be locked. A new poll will be created soon after the competition ends so that voting can begin.

Rules:
  • Every entry must be the user's own work. (It cannot be downloaded from another website)
  • Unless otherwise stated, it must be a screenshot from "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion"
  • It can not be edited, color adjusted, or enhanced in any way (Especially, photo or graphics editing programs)
  • You can resize, crop, and scale as necessary to get it to a reasonable screensize and filesize, as long as you're not attempting to enhance the image in the process, as that would violate the previous rule.
  • You are allowed to re-use a screenshot you previously posted on the boards, as long as it follows all other rules and has never been used in any other competition before. (especially this one, of course)
  • No off topic posting in the Competition topic. (Open discussion will be allowed in the Screenshot Competition Discussion topic)
  • No profanity, offensive language, or adult situations. (All forum rules still apply here.)
  • If you have any active mods in the scene (especially user-mods that affect the textures, clothing, or visual quality of the game), please list them in the text of your submission.
  • Include a text description of your general location in Cyrodiil (nearest city; name of the cave, fort, or Ayleid Ruin; or questline) and a brief description of why you feel your picture fits the current theme.

This Competition's Theme is Mad Alchemist
Go into Oblivion (or Cyrodiil) and take a picture (screenshot) of something that best conveys the idea of a "Mad Alchemist". (This is similar to a 'Mad Scientist', except there is no real 'science' in Cyrodiil.) Post it here and see who's picture best fits the theme. Just do your best to capture the essence of the theme in the most creative way possible. We will have about 3 weeks to take screenshots this time. Winners will have their image displayed for the world to see, so get out there and create an entry. Don't be shy. The deadline is Thursday 24 July 2008 at 7:00pm EST (4:00pm PST; midnight GMT; 10am the next day in Australia)

When the competition is over for the week the topic will be locked and a new poll will be created so we can all vote for a winner. Remember, only one entry each, so make it a good one. Since the competition is a long one, if you want to post a new entry your previous entry (in this same competition) will need to be deleted in order to replace the old one. So, if you post an entry and want it replaced but time ran out on editing the old one (24 hours), just post a second one, making sure to make a note that it is your new entry. I, or another moderator, will kindly delete your first entry for you. Feel free to repost your original entry on another appropriate board if you'd like. Good luck and have fun, everyone! Let's make it a great one.

My first competition entry ever. Well, that's probably not that much mad, but I never played for an alchemist, and cannot present any good setup of my own. Besides, it does look strange... for what should be a common shop.

i went for more of the mad scientist thing.  ok its more of a psychopath thing. but it's the only "qualifying" screenie i had.

and before somebody comments, yes i know its a stretch but i wanted to enter something.

it's been a while, but i think i read somewhere online ages ago that there was one severed human head in the game (i think...if not, they are at least rare).  Located in an ayleid ruin...don't remember which one....sorry.

I made Sinderion angry in his basement alchemy lab in Skingrad. I tried to light him on fire and he didn't like it. He didn't stay aflame for very long and this shot of him casting invisibility looked nicer. There are no active mods.
