So now we have 2 artists to drop out of the contest. Tacky_Tricky and Juggertha.


Sorry to see you guys drop



Look if it is due to the way i have ran or not ran the contest i want to truly apologize. I should have taken more time to invest in this. It's always my intention to promote art and those that create it. Not the opposite

Eesh. Today's been a bit of a gut punch overall.

Best wishes to Juggertha!

The show will go on! Keep the artz comin guys! 22 days and counting!

I'll figure it out later. No eliminations this month though, This month is for immunity for the following month. I'll edit the OP to reflect that!


Much love,
TA

In all honesty, I think the contest DID go to the weeds a bit because TA wasn't able to be as hands-on with it as he wanted. Not much to be done when stuff comes up in life, but it is what it is.

Lousy Day put forth an amazing piece and earned his immunity... even more importantly (imho) is his great attitude of "yes I have immunity, and could slack off, but I will still bring my A game." That says a lot.

I don't feel his accomplishment is diminished in any way by the recent turn of events.

If anything I feel a little bad for Crestent.
Had either of the two who bowed out done so before the voting took place he would still be in the race and also carry immunity for another month.
That would've taken some amazing foresight and consideration on their part though and that's a tough thing to do when you are leaving to think well yeah I'm leaving but hey I can at least do something nice for one of my fellow competitors.
It's the way I would to choose to bow out but then I'm not competing in this particular art contest and I don't expect anyone to think the way I do or share my views on any given subject.

Meh, I'm fairly certain that Juggertha left for other reasons, don't let it bug you.

That's it for me guys. Thanks for the team and letting me tag along.


(I'm withdrawing from the contest)


Good luck and happy hunting.

Come on....reconsider. Your stuff is awesome. The mucha-inspired rendering of your character was superb. Do it for art. Do it for the children!

Grrr, I always miss the good drama! And now if I brought the topic up again my intentions would be too obvious. Next time, board drama, next time...

Also, love the example you gave, TA.

And thirdly so, ChristopherRobin's giant orange text madens me.

Pfft, he's just bucking the ridiculous fad of making posts "readable" and "easy on the eyes".

But seriously CR... why orange? Why?????

Maddens you say? Mad as in angry or mad as in going crazy?

If it's the angry kind then, well you know they say some competitors need to get mad to take it to the next level so if you win I'm totally taking the lion's share of the credit... " L&G the NEW FArt Champion of 2009 is... Toxic Shia!!! Now accepting the award (and most of the credit) for Toxic Shia's glorious victory is Christopher Robin's giant orange text!"

However if you are referring to the "going crazy" kind, well after seeing Mako get shot in the but and turn into a catgurl,
I think that ship has already sailed.

Pfftt! This tiny white text is anything but readable and easy on the eyes. They obviously didn't have 30" ultra hi-rez screens in mind when they remade these boards. On this screen my text looks awesome and your guy's text looks like a little girlie-man. **/e text flex1**

First of all it's dark orange... >.>
What's the difference you say? I'm glad you asked!
Well you see there's regular orange and then there's like dark orange. It's like orange the fruit ya know, lets say you had a bunch of oranges you were going to eat and as soon as you went to peel them one squirted you right in the eye temporarily blinding you while it made it's crafty escape...

well that would be the dark orange... he's badass like that.

And second of all why not orange? I like orange. It's the color of... like, you know oranges, and uhh orange juice and stuff... and pumpkins which go into pumpkin pie...
mmmm pie.

I hear ya brah.
Look whatever anyone could say about how the contest was handled I don't think anyone can question your intentions... your heart is in the right place and you have always been a staunch supporter of Teh Artz.

Respect.

Look on the bright side dude... waaaay more good has come out of this contest than bad and in the end the drama will fade away (or fall victim to a purge heh) but the art will remain... that's as it should be.

Here's how I look at it: I will win this damn thing by default and then crow about it for years to come.

There's nothing to say you won't win it Foo, that last piece you did (not matching the official
theme for that month aside) was, I think, your best work so far. Keep it up man.

Also, maybe possibly NSFW here.

Hahahahah.
The bottle of "Mister Clean" is genius... you know your obsessed when your love of
bald headed super heroes affects your choice of toilet bowl cleaner.

Clever use of LousyDay's Positron movie poster on the wall too.
Good stuff Toxic Shia.

Oh now thats perfect! I'm embarrassed to admit I've fallen asleep on a toilet but gaming wasn't involved.
