A fresh start with two new challengers...

Tales have been heard of fishermen returning to port, their trawlers battered, their nets torn to shreads. Whisperings of a bear that came from the sea…. Well now the bear comes to Fightclub to prove he is the legend that the stories suggest!

Hailing from the oceans that took Atlantis, I give you

…Shrimp Bear

In opposition, we have a creature of uncertain origin.. disfigured and unnatural. Who can tell if this is a man or woman, indeed.. who can tell this creature is even human?

There is only one way we can describe this challenger

…Mutated

Round 8: AlexHolt's Shrimp Bear .Vs.  Robin's Mutated

BRING IT ON!

Chris: i was thinking maybe your signature banner should say that you are the RINGMASTER.  and since im helping you with FIghtclub, can i be Assitant RINGMASTER

lol, i do not want a title with 'ring' in it!

i intended to use the IFX Fightclub username i got for all official posting... start/end of challenges.. and when i need to make rule calls..  i was thinking as the avatar pic.. a pink bar of soar with IFX embossed in it?

ok, im gonna be absent for afew days due to er.. prior commitments.  will probably check in at the start of next week... but am not gonna be here to close off this round... so the you guys are in charge now! good luck!

fightclub is bigger than just one person 

in preperation for the battle. he puts on his battle gear. ( butter and a bib.)

Shrimp bear Shambles into the arena.... before it stands a figure which Shrimpbear looms over

Despite its rather rubbish sense of sight, Shrimp Bear gets the impression that this new foe is rather squishy, so he swings at it with his big taloned feet.

mutated's arm rips open from the sheer force of shrimpbears attack. causing him to stumble backwards and sending a sprey of blood into the air.

his arm falls to the ground with a heavy thud. but almost emediately it begins to crawl back to the main body

the dark eyed head is now in control. the others shall rest for when they are needed. screaming in anger, he sets off on his charge.
 

 charging towards his target. with little regard for his safety. he charges against this fortress of a beast.

his arms boil in excitement.the left becomes his weapon and the right his shield. his opponents pincers closing in on him like a wall of spikes.

barely dodging the pincers. he moves to attack. the dark eyed head now completely in control and taking up the central space on the head.

having successfully dodged. he flings himself up to give a kick to its head. a direct hit. but is it good enough to damage this collossus?

glad i'm not letting you down. this is all for you and martin. ill try hard and there will be some extra yucky bits for martin.

am trying to think of his final form for the final image:)

so far he is fast but doesnt do too much damage. lots of liquidy movements 

LOL these are great, love the names, thats why i clicked on this.

Was wondering  what goes on in this sweaty and grunting little corner of the Imagine Fx site. Only just finding out and it sure looks and smells like fun to me

The kick lands with a satisfying thud, but the thick head plate absorbs most of the blow, the main effect seems to be confusing the creature, who is a rather simple beast and has never been kicked in the head before.

After a minute or so of contemplation on the matter, he decides he doesn't like being kicked in the head, and grabs his fleshy foe with his pincers and throws it high into the air.

             BRUISED PATRON #1
                 No one's ever seen him.  No one knows
                 what he looks like.

                             BRUISED PATRON #2
                 He has facial reconstructive surgery
                 every three years.

                             JACK
                 That's the stupidest thing I've ever
                 heard.

                             BRUISED PATRON #1
                 Is it true about fight club in ifx?

                             BRUISED PATRON 12
                 Is Mr Chris building an army?

flung into the air. and falling towards the ground. his attack not very affective

 his body slaps against the ground. the wet smacking sound of flesh can be heard throughout the arena.

as he gets up he lets out a sigh. his tactics will have to change if he stands any kind of chance against this "beast"

'These arms won't do the job', he mutters to himself in a chorus of voices all talking over one another.

(am trying to figure out how to make those animations) 

"this form is far too weak to deal with 'him'

perhaps if i join my fingers, move the main mout to the front and modify my legs. hopefully my jaws can do more damage than these useless, arms that can only 'slap' ".

shrimpbear looks on with puzzlement. his eyesight may be bad but the strange shifting of the blurred image in the distance causes him to worry.

the fingers join into one and the mouth begins its journey to the head.

the head comes to a stop. the muscles twist and tighten to accomodate the new weight and strain of the jaws. the new form is ready. soon it will charge.
