no not really :P lol

just going with the assumption that it's by skills ;O 0_o

just...I think that the competition should be named

" Art lulz and whatnot competition"

if it's not about the skills :P lol..

sry for dublz

don't really get it..how could the judging be so hard...if the judgment is based only for the artistic skills..overall quality, layout , how the stuff is placed in the pic etc. etc. so the winner would be either tiamont (or what it was)... or cen...so with these two...if it's hard to decide...you could flip a coin :P

Also extra points for paintz

No. No extra points for Paint entries just for being Paint. Extra points for awesome Paint entries as opposed to awesome GIMP entries, because it taks more work to be awesome in Paint.

What about hand drawn? Where does that rank?

Was my jack sparrow bad -_-' anyways thats not fair, paint is alot easier, I wan't to see them drawn normally, besides, normal pencil is made by hand, the others, their techincnly not made by them, rather than a comuter program =(

PAINT ENTRIES DOES NOT GIVE YOU AN ADVANTAGE.

Making AWESOME things in Paint does, because it is VERY DIFFICULT to make awesome things in Paint.

I have not seen awesomely made pics made in Paint in this comp in a while. Awesome ideas executed in Paint still have a fair chance of winning, but NOT because they are made in Paint.

And no, your Jack Sparrow was not bad, it was just mimicked.

normal pencil is made by hand, the others, their techincnly not made by them, rather than a comuter program =(

Judging done yet? I cant wait!

omg argen, do you only read the bad stuff lol, I'm saying that ALOT OF PEOPLE thought that I didn't do it, the undead art was out of 4 XD besides I'm not thinking negativly, I'm asking Zophie's opinion

Getting rid of filler spam and responses to judging that were made before the judging was.

Ne, judging. First time in quite a while that I'm doing it on my own, and if I don't get Cen back soon I'll probably need to hand it over to someone else, because I don't get it done on time.

That aside, this was really hard to judge D:
Also, if I miss 'e's here and there, it's because my e key broke. Highly impractical. Comments on the pics will also be kept somewhat short.

Champions exhibition:
crimsonblade55

Potentially the longest entry in the ASC...

First place:
xtiamotx

Not that your more elaborately detailed works haven't been really good, but your observation about what wins in this comp is correct... And hey, you're pretty good at that kind of thing too. So grats on winning~

Second place:
Cenere

I really recent how Cen with his huge lack of self confidence and bad luck with critique wrote that I begged him to make this his official entry again, specially because every time I place Cenere's entry in the top three I feel paranoid because we're friends in real life and at least one person has already stated he thinks I'm doing it because of that. I'M NOT.
(Also deleted a few of Cen's post upon request.)
I just think this pic deserves second place, regardless of who made it.

Third place:
fst6

Possibly the entry this week that amused me the most... Imagine the bullets in those guns... Imagine the magma-bleeding shot-wound-craters...

All the rest in the order they're pasted into my .txt file:

Sssssnnaakke

Colourful. Verily. War on drugs?

Ogt2

I actually liked the first version of this one better. But uhm, simple depiction of the explodey thing that is war.

Gantic

I have only 'whut' to say to this one. Normally your entries are flying high, but this one went over my head.
It's very pleasing graphics, though.

kingryan

Would possibly have made more sense if the sticks were visually numbers, but lulz.

Zega
Right here!
I think this is definitely on of your better entries, Zega. Though th background seems a bit too peacful for a war setting~

Pois0nArr0w

Remnants of war. Not much to say here, he's to long gone to hear it anyway. The skull, that is.

WackWeeper

This is in my opinion almost outright beautiful (and something I'd actually consider hanging on my wall in big format), but just not quite - wary nough to place. It does have a sense of distant doom coming at ya, though.

LufffiStudios

Your floodfilling precision needs work~ But yah. Kinda wish we'd never gone past the arrow stage.

thisisnotanalt

NO. NO RLOAD, PEEZE!
... I'm sleepy, mkay?
Well drawn gun, makes bettr sense with the addd smok. Oh and, did you post link for your reference pic? I guess I should bash you about that. *bashes you with a canoe paddle*

nichodemus

Motivational posters like that have always seemed weird to me. Are people really patriotic nough for posters to be effective?

psychomonkey

This is a very well done drawing, but it just doesn't really articulate the theme. It's a very nice portrait, though.

DarKArgeN

Very likly to be true. Good shading~~~

JereN

Uh oh, they don't have good odds, do they? Interesting shortcut to drawing a crowd~

And with that, we're done. Or I'm done. Excpt I wanna show you this almost-done drawing I was making, relevant to the theme (not rally for it, since I can't participate).



Will post it in my own thread once it's finishd.

Theme: Crime
Deadline: Tuesday 26th of May

And my finger really hurts now. That e key requires hard pushing to register it. :<

That's all~

Oh and, did you post link for your reference pic? I guess I should bash you about that. *bashes you with a canoe paddle*

*bashes in a bruise-less place*

I really recent how Cen with his huge lack of self confidence and bad luck with critique wrote that I begged him to make this his official entry again,

Since my last one didn't quite get judged I've changed things... I'm not sure why the criminal has a mangled hand
