Only 2 days left to vote! Spread the word!!

*throws Frost's Kindle at DE*
I'll have to open up a few. I find I need some more fun stuff to work on to pepper in with my school work this semester. Stay tuned. -
The critiques should go with the submission thread. As I've posted the past couple themes, it benefits the artists to get feedback on their pieces before the deadline. They have right up to the wire to make any tweaks on their submissions, as files can be updated without a problem on dA. No need for another whole thread.
-
If I opened up a few slots to do quickie sketches, would people be interested?
-
I think Blackthorn was a really good choice for the Rogue's Gallery.
-
As a follow-up to that honor, the sister piece to the one the VP of the college snatched up ...
Got an Honorable Mention when the art faculty did their judging of the show =3 -
I'm putting you all in time-out and taking away your puddin' snacks.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it still true that the size of a single pixel actually isn't defined? I believe I just ran across this when doing some digital photography stuff and didn't know if it's still the case.
-
FYI, I'll let Scooter and Mrs. Scooter each have their votes this month. Like Caemgen's fan fic, the issue didn't come up beforehand, so there wasn't an actual rule. Going forward, please do household votes. Beyond that, I can't really police that much because I'm obviously not going to know everyone's multiple account names (if they're not obvious).

Quote:I'm really sorry to hear that, as your entries have obviously been quite popular the past couple months =(I'm going to officially withdraw from this competition, so I think you guys don't need to sweat the elimination thing until next month. Good luck all!
Though yes, I will take that as an elimination. We'll still be voting for immunity, however.
As to multiple accounts; yeah, I also don't like it. We wanted to keep this to active players, which is why the voting was contained to the boards and not to dA or somewhere else where keeping tallies would be easier. Getting to be too sticky of a situation.
I prefer how Bubbawheat used his vote to come to a consensus with him and his little woman. Especially with doing the 1, 2, 3 voting, this seems like the best solution. -
Whoever bribes me the best gets back in! =D

Quote:I used the same names as I did last month, with the exception of being too lazy to put FrozenDeath in parantheses.Also wanted to mention that it would be nice to have some sort of consistency for forum names/DA names. I know it's more important to look at the piece as just a piece, but on a couple of them I'm confused as to who they are from. (eg. Happy Dan/Battlewraith are DA names, but Toxic Shia and Lousy Day are forum names) Even though I think I figured it out myself just by process of elimination (Happy Dan is Bindweed, right? And I know Battlewraith is FrozenDeath) Unless of course, you've gone by what the artists have said are their preferred names.
-
Yeah, my site isn't set up to handle prose like dA, so I linked to his entry there instead.
Voting closes whenever I damn well please! Or Midnight Friday. Whichever comes first. -

MARCH MADNESS
Mad as a hatter, that is! Yes, with the new movie coming out (though I'm still undecided if it looks good or not.... Helena Bonham Carter with a gigantic head is very terrifying) I thought that Alice in Wonderland would also be a great source of inspiration for our artists.
So for March you get to play with the classic tale. I don't care if you use the original writings, the old Disney movie, some Miyuki-chan (my personal favorite, natch), the NEW movie.... whatever one of the many incarnations. You can either juxtapose CoH elements into Wonderland, or bring Wonderland elements into Paragon. All types of visual art are acceptable.
I'm leaving the requirements pretty open this month. Try running wild with your freedom. The more whimsical the solution, the better it relates to the theme!
THE RULES
1. The Hot Chicks Rule- All entries must somehow include a hot chick!
2. Keep It Clean- All entries must be direct-linkable on the boards. If its worse than PG-13, you will be disqualified.
3. Use City of Heroes/Villains Elements- Your entry must somehow relate to City of Heroes/Villains either through character, setting, or some other means
4. Use Alice in Wonderland Elements- Other side of the coin, there must be some Alice in Wonderland something in there too!
5. Visual Fan Art Only- We had a fan fic entry for February, which was fine. But from here on out, all entries have to fall under visual art type categories
DEADLINES
All entries must be posted to this thread or the dA group by MIDNIGHT US EASTERN TIME, FRIDAY MARCH 26TH. Voting/the new theme will follow during that weekend. Its in the artists' best interest to get their pieces in early for feedback or in case there is a disqualifying element. Feel free to PM me with any questions or if you're unsure if something is within the rules.
It's a loverly day for a tea party! -
Hey, Caemgen just linked to screens and art. Particularly from the screens, it looked human to me. Didn't get a backstory =P
-
Its that time again! We need to crown a winner for this month's fight!
February's theme was about love and pin-ups. Full details may be found here.
I've already deemed all entries as qualifying, so there should be no discussion about that in this thread.
Items of Note
THIS MONTH IS AN ELIMINATION MONTH. The entrant with the least points will be eliminated
Lousy_Day carries immunity this month. He cannot be eliminated
We have a different voting method this month!! In order to significantly cut down on the chances of having more than one piece with the least amount of votes, all votes will need to be placed in a 1, 2, 3 format. This means in order for your vote to be counted you MUST vote for your first, second, and third choices. These can't be all the same piece. If your vote is not in this format, I will not count your vote.
1st place votes will earn the entry 3 points, 2nd place 2, and 3rd place 1. This should spread out more points and keep us from having sudden death rounds and such.
Note that all the entries have the same thumbnail. This is because some are direct-linkable, and others are not. But I don't want to give more attention to those that can be direct linked. So all entries have the same thumb and will 2-click to the actual piece.
And away we go!

Good Lord these posts take a long time to get together...... Happy Voting! -
D'oh! Yeah, I didn't see it. Freaking deviation stacking... this is exactly why I hate it.
OK then! All entrants made it in. Ya'll are nothing if not dramatic ^.^
This also means we ARE doing an elimination via vote this time around. -
Alright, posting so I know that the deadline has come and gone.
Way to get in under the wire, U-Naught and CR! Unfortunately, I don't see an entry from Crestent, so he is out.
Because we have one entrant dropped due to lack of submission, we will not do another elimination via vote for February. I don't want to do multiple eliminations unless needed later in the year.
BUT, still to stave off the problem of having to "vote someone off the island", we WILL be voting in a 1, 2, 3 manner. All votes will have to include a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice or they won't count!
Stay tuned for the voting thread and new theme to go up this weekend. I'm going to bed! -
Did a couple quick headshots. I'll put them up tomorrow, as I don't feel like messing with my scanner and all at the moment.
-
I think I've caught up with everyone that's submitted for the dA group. Some just need approval from the artist to go up.
Less than 3 hours to submit! -
Hmmm... Caemgen might be a good bit of something different to do to warm-up...
