*HUHUHUHUHUHUH* What happened to him?

He got permabanned, obviously.
Too bad, though. He was so much fun, thinking harassment was "nothing"...

I am wondering if the judging will be done any time soon. I believe today is the deadline (March 8, 2010). I can't wait!

Ogt2, please refrain from commenting on things that are not related to the thread at all. Thanks.

I can't wait on the judging, either to see who will get 1st place. Lots of funny entries!

Sorry yodadude, save it for the next theme. Judging has been delayed long enough, so I'm judging now.

Thanks Cen for telling them. Yep, I am sick. I caught a stomach virus the other day and spent an entire night puking and pooping (sometimes at the same time). Apparently all the muscle spasms from vommitting really leave you in bad shape, I felt like I had been flipped out of a fast travelling golf cart. Anywho, to top that off, after getting over the stomach virus I am starting to get a cold. So before the cold gets any worse and the delay gets any longer...

First - Winner - Grand Champion: Cenere

Your other one would have won too, but this is the one you wanted (hope I don't mess that up again). I like the soft tones, beautiful (and nude).

2nd - kacboy

I really love the style, beautiful vibrant colours. I'm a little so-so on the shading effects, but for the most part they worked. You didn't really need 'The Big City' because I can already see that Good Job.

3rd - Hectichermit

Ok, the sun is a little oddly shaped, but besides that I really love it. The colours look great, I love how soft they look, especially the grass. Thumbs Up.

The Rest

Zega:

You really nailed this. I can easily see Mario jumping around and killing poor little koopas.

Ogt2:

Interesting take on the theme. I like how you did the people, can't really think of anytime I've seen them done like that.

PoisonArrow:

Funny idea, fuzzy picture. I love walking/floating/flying cities, very fantastical. I think your city just sprouted legs to dodge a ballistic missile, but nevertheless...

manny#s:

Ok, this is what I think it is. On a frozen alien planet, some aliens built a city and to warm their city, they built a giant glass dome to entrap the heat from the sun. Well, I reckon that is a giant glass dome, but the lines are so sketchy it is hard to tell. So you just need to work on your line quality a little bit.

TheCheeseMaker:

A lot of goods things to take from this picture. You did a pretty good job with perspective. Your mountains look pretty cool. Your Sun was good, but try drawing it without the out line, trust me. And try experimenting with blending your colours (pencils or crayons) and see what you get.

marioman:

Very cool marioman, but a little small. I can't really see what is in the field (grass blades?), but I would have left them out for such a small picture.

Ok next theme is: Under the Sea! No, it isn't a Little Mermaid theme, but if you want to do something for that go ahead...Umm, the due date is the Saturday after this next one. I need to judge on the weekend because I'm about to start a job with my dad that includes hard manual labor for about 8 hours a day

Still don't stand chance against those mods...
I made the shading like that because I was testing out the different tools in flash. And I just really wanted to put that "The BIG City" in there. I will put my under the sea art up soon.
