3. - Original Villain : No story is complete without a ne'er-do-well to give our hero a reason to set of on his epic quest. Get creative and come up with a villain of your own, so Mario won't just be sitting around kicking at dust.

That's right, we have a winner! It's contest number 3, the Original Villain contest! I want to see your most creative ideas for a baddie to boss the next Paper Mario. It can be anything you want, as long as it's your own idea and your own art.

Rules of Entry:
1. You must be a member of/watching the club.
2. The art you submit must be yours and yours alone. (That means no altering official artwork. Sorry, but it's just not fair. You'll be subject to disqualification.)
3. You may submit only one entry.
4. Entries must be submitted by midnight on November 30.

Submissions should be judged on:
1. Quality of the artwork. Show your skills, and make us believe you put time and effort into your submission!
2. Quality of the idea/design. Showcase your beefy imagination! Do something original, something all your own!

Prizes:
