Fredrik Posted June 11, 2003 BlueSonnet's isn't the best technically, but it has the coolest pose. Gets my vote. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted June 11, 2003 Agnes's is cool. Has a nice brashy quality about it. Espi's is very very good. Evocative and well-drawn, if a bit Scandinavian :P DemonDemon's is fun and very good on it's own but not perhaps best for the contest. I liked zabnet's a lot too, very expressive and interesting background. Bluesonnet's is superbly well-drawn too, consumately talented, nice and spooky. Overall I have to say Espi's is just there for me but the standard is very high. Well done! 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted June 11, 2003 Agnes has my vote, though Bluesonnet is close too. That guy just gets better and better. 0 Share this post Link to post
DemonDemon Posted June 11, 2003 I like the look of all the pics, but I also think it's kinda boring that everyone drew the same style (trying to make it look too real instead of making them less real and more a 'diffrent' style). Everyone and their left hand cousin twice removed and struck by lightning (I have, like, three of these ;) draws like this, there isn't really much of a style diffrence (well, except for mine, but I ain't voting for it, because it sucks like a Kirby :). The last contest had a broader range of diffrent styles, from realism to... funky town. :D So I'll just hold my vote. No offence to everyone who did stuff, but I just think they all look too much the same to choose the 'better' picture, and voting for myself is just plain ego boosting (as well as wasting my vote on a carppy pic (yes, carppy, not krappy:)), so I make no vote. P.S. Vote for me, get a poison cookie! ;) (I can't even tell if that was a threat or an offer... :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Lord FlatHead Posted June 11, 2003 Hard choice between the coolness of Espi and the colourful gore of zabnat. Hrrrrn. I choose Espi. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grogglogobofink Posted June 11, 2003 yeah some really good stuff this week.. i thought agnes' and espi's were both awesome but i ended up putting in my vote for bluesonnet's (i think that excellent plasma gun sold me on it).BlueSonnet said:May the best man win. :) or agnes =P 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted June 11, 2003 It was between Agnes and Zabnat. I went with Zabnat. BlueSonnet is like the Elvis Space Marine. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted June 12, 2003 no pinkie demons this time. good all good. could have used more impsex and or kittens 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted June 12, 2003 I must say I love this whole idea of regular art contests. I vote for Agnes, of course she just has an advantage being that she's obviously well trained in anatomy and perspective. Zabnat's is evocative but it has too many perspective problems. 0 Share this post Link to post

I was told to not make them too plentiful... I'm sure if enough people ask for it on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, maybe it will be allowed. Hmm. Let me know what you think. I was told I should cut them back to once a month. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grogglogobofink Posted June 12, 2003 good idea, i've noticed the same thing doing speedmapping. if you do too many too often people will get tired of them until you have to stop and wait a month before you can get regular attendance again. it's doing really good right now but you need to pace it out more (maybe make it a once-a-month kind of thing) if you want it to stay that way :) 0 Share this post Link to post

wasted Posted June 12, 2003 I voted 4 Agnes. Couse her art is tecknically awsome. Espi's is good one. But the overshadowing and strange pose that he choose for DG are seemes quite weird to me... DemonDemon's is colorful and fun one. It might be a great comic there. Zabnet's is a bloody messed and gory and that makes it very cool and expressive. (My drawing for this very contest also contented mess and gory stuff but f^kin scanner is down... so you'll see it some other time). Bluesonnet's is just great!!! Detailed and well drawn one. If there was no Agnes it could be you man. Keep it up!!! About the Contest: i like the bi-weekly idea. Maybe we should try to make some cyclelike system here, like the first Contest in the month will be one week based, the second will have two weeks to prepare. And then once again. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted June 12, 2003 Once a month is maybe the way to go? Or two weeks? 0 Share this post Link to post
Silverwyvern Posted June 12, 2003 Well. I guess once a month could be fine... or just whenever the urge hits me every few weeks... 0 Share this post Link to post
