Suggestions for artwork by employee request: life-size terracotta warriors (2); WWII USMC soldier with KA-BAR statue, large statue of a KA-BAR knife. Please note you will be required to send the artwork to us if you are selected as the winner. Though you can use any material you like, you may want to keep shipping costs in mind. Bonus points for including pictures of the creation of the artwork as well as using a KA-BAR knife. We recommend using cardboard, paper mache, or other lightweight material. Pictures, painted/drawn portraits, and other media are also valid entries. Show us what you got.

All I have so far, I hope you like 'em!
 
I like using the GIMP program. I'll give it a go:

Sorry I missed the deadline for the contest, I realize that most likely excludes me from actually entering.

I figured I would share it with you guys anyways. The reason I picked to use the MK2 in the picture is because MY grandfather Carried a Ka-bar USN MK2 while serving in WW2. Had fun making it. I'm no expert at photoshop so keep that in mind, hope you guys like it.

Very cool!!!!! Thanks! Ill go get that printed up and sent out this week. Wonder what knife the prize is? Very excited!!
 
I just wanted to let the nice folks at Ka-bar know that I will be sending this out tomorrow. I feel horrible that it took me so long to get around to it. It’s no excuse but I got caught up in life and school work. I do feel honored that you picked my entry, you should expect the package soon. Thanks again.
