Thanks everyone, I'm so relieved I didn't have to go into Sudden Death with Juggy, that would've been brutal.

We should of had to duel in CoH or someting.

Either way, grats to all who entered and have kept with it.

I'm looking forward to July.

I'm in.

voting is almost over - get your vots in.

All are welcome to vote.

Nice pic of CB

Oh, and I posted a min-rant about this awhile back.

I've been burned before by commissioners... but not that often (about once a year). I now make sure that they get nothing 'usable' until I am paid - it'll either be a sketch, watermarked, or a thumbnail.

To the OP, this is from april 08? That's past a year and way past my cut-off line. I'd personally name and shame... but that's just me.

Good luck with it.

Granted while Juggy’s piece was beautiful, cute, and somewhat original; the reason I did not vote for him was because the actual Movie Poster (the focus of the piece and what we are voting for) was recognizably the City of Heroes logo and little else. The piece is truly amazing and original; it just didn’t fit the bill in my opinion. If his piece was unacceptable, then it should have been called out by the event moderator; there were 10 days between Juggy’s submission and the due date.

Fair enough. It's pretty clear to anyone looking at my piece that the details of the poster are not the focus, but rather the mood implied through the kid standing in awe of it. If it was a violation of the rules, so be it. It wasn't meant to be... but motive is hard to discern on the 'net.

Thanks for posting up that quote about the logo, I had read it, but forgot it.

I'm sorry, I never intended to instigate drama by ignoring the rules and as I said before I have no problem with being disqualified. For what's it worth I agree that rules should be followed and that the use of screen shots tend to 'cheapen' the image, which is why all those images ends up in my 'scraps' section on dA.

Shoot, now I'm not even so sure they're talking about you - perhaps it's me now?

Just so we're all clear, here were the rules for last month.

Your contest this year , your rules.

Oh ho! Someone else is bidding on the hosting rights for next art season!

I created it last year, passed the gauntlet to TA this year, and I think it'd be cool if someone else stepped up next year as well.

My thoughts... and I have only one, basically.

1. This is supposed to be for fun. If the rules are too harsh, it won't be much fun. If I follow the rules and someone doesn't, it won't be much fun. If people start fighting over something, it won't be much fun.

My advice, lay down the rules at the start of each month and people should follow them. If they don't want to follow them, they shouldn't be in the contest.

Your contest this year, your rules.

But above all, keep it fun.

My vote goes to Lousy_Day - I dig those textures.

He's coming

I personally don't think that there needs to be black inked lines to make a comic book. I think that is a holdover from printing in a bygone age.

if someone wants to digitally paint their entire work - or vector it, that's totally up to them - and it could be equally as good.

I'm weak in inking, I know that. For now I'm staying away from it - if someone thinks less of my art because of that, so be it.

I don't.

are we still missing a lot of people?

aye, the digital clock (is not really) ticking.

My stages are simple

BLUE - for the pose. Once the client signs off on that, there's no changing.

Everything beyond that is easy for me to change. Want the shirt color changed? No problem? Want the shading lighter? Easy.

It's all in how you layer.

cool style

When I was a kid, a buddy and I created out our comicbook universe... with Handbooks and all. Looking through some of them the other day I came across a character that I really dug.

Here here is as as I drew him so many years ago.

And here hs is now.


(and for those of you who know me, you'll know that my writing hasn't improved much since those early days. lol)
