Celebrating Valentine’s Day with an ART CONTEST!

Do you smell it?

Sorry, that’s not a very romantic way to start off a Valentine’s Day post. 

“HERE, I got this for you, SMELL IT!”

Better. But really…do you smell it? The happiness, the rainbows, the lollipops, roses and pure goodness? Is that a whiff of hamster shavings? And no, it’s not locker room body spray because our eyes aren’t burning. It’s VALENTINE’S DAY and even if your princess is in another castle, we have Pink Knight! We ALL have Pink Knight! Forever and ever, ten thousand years…PINK KNIGHT!

In a world where the doom and gloom can become suffocating and bleak, a lone protector watches to make sure we don’t forget the true meaning of being alive: hamsters and weasels. In a world where hats become cursed and taxes don’t exist, Pink Knight is reminding us to put down our broccoli swords and instead sharpen your lollipop because it’s about to get real: we’re hosting a Valentine’s Day Art Contest and the subject? PINK KNIGHT OUR BELOVED.

  1. Using your artsy fartsy skills, make a Valentine’s Day card featuring Pink Knight, in whatever art medium you like! Digital, paper, clay, decoupage, mosaic, marble sculpting, everything goes EXCEPT:
    1. Hair not allowed, just don’t, please don’t. No hair collages.
  2. We will be looking at this with our human seeing eyeballs, we’re fresh out of eye bleach, and we will be posting winning submissions so please keep it appropriate for general audiences
  3. When it is locked and loaded, neatly package your card and send it to our email: games@thebehemoth.com.
  4. Must be 18 years or older to participate, or have parental consent if under 18.

*If you would like to see your competition or share your design with other members of The Behemoth community, come on over to our Discord Server and share your post in our fan-art gallery!

Contest entries must be submitted no later than 11:59:59PM PST on February 13th, 2024. If you’re even one second off, we’re ripping the card into a million pieces and crying over an empty box of chocolates because you couldn’t care enough to submit on time. Would Hatty do that to you?!

Winners will be announced on Valentine’s Day, sometime! During the day. We’ll post our three winners on our blog and social media once they have been Decided, and will notify the winners via the email they submitted their entry with.

***Update 2/14: We received an overwhelming amount of entries and will be taking a little bit longer to go over them, so we can be sure each entry gets the attention it deserves. Seriously, so many entries. We are besieged by Pink Knight art. This is a good problem to have.

YOU GET A PRIZE, YOU GET A PRIZE, YOU GET A PRIZE! And that’s it. Three winners. But what are they winning? 

THIS JUST IN – an incredibly limited amount of Castle Crashers Pink Knight Figurines have appeared for this contest, this year, in 2024. We have been blessed with a very smol handful of the elusive Pink Knight figurines, and would like to spread the cheer this Valentine’s Day 🙂  Banana for scale.

This Pink Knight Figurine could be yours! Produce not included.

So what are you waiting for?

Why are you still here reading this?

Why aren’t you out there making all the art with your art hands and art pens and pencils? You have a duty to Pink Knight, who never let you down, to capture their Really, Really Ridiculously Good Looking Side.

DIY Castle Crashers Helmet

Orange Knight Signs at Comic Con 2009

Comic Con 2009 had a special visitor- The Orange Knight came by to sign autographs with Dan and the Orange Princess! Since we like to build stuff here at the Behemoth, I’m going to detail how I made the helmet. There’s no right or wrong way to build them, but this one is light and durable and provides good visibility. The one thing you might need to order is the foam filter material I used for white cross on the front. The pores of the foam are pretty far apart, so the visibility out of the helmet is great. This is what I ordered:

Polyurethane Foam Air Filter Pad, 1/4″ thick item # 9803K3 from McMaster.com 20 pores per inch.

Everything else you can get at a hardware store. You’ll need a five gallon bucket, mat knife, cardboard, paint, scrap foam blocks (rigid styrofoam, like packing material) and soft foam, hot glue, Elmers white glue, Gorilla glue (for filling gaps) and tape. Ready, Set, GO!

1.We’ll start with a 5 gallon bucket for rigidity and durability. But it is heavy!
