The August Fan Art Battle - VOTE!!
i've had my popcorn ready for months foo , your late for the party .
I came for my monthly dose of art and found b!tching and drama instead...
If it even matters:
1. Shia
2. CR
3. Pyro

Wow, you used shift lock and a bunch of capital letters, you must be right.
Let's see, because I said I didn't mean to come off condescending then, according to you, I obviously mean to be condescending. No proof of it needed, just your say so, convienant that.
And... You assert I said one thing yet meant anoth but that isn't a lie? Huh? I thought that was the definition of a lie. And your asserting I did it time after time. Would seem that repeatedly lying would make one a liar... But you didn't call me that, or even suggest that if you want to play the semantic game...
Ya, whatever. Keep shouting, if you scream nonsense often enough people will start to believe it.
If it had been a couple times, yes, I could see your point. But a whole bunch of times? In a row? And that's not a pattern of rudeness anymore? Whaaat?
So you're saying I could cut in front of you in a line, sneeze in your face, make disparaging remarks about your ethnic background, but that would all be OK as long as I said I wasn't meaning to be rude there? And not only that, I would be within my rights to be highly offended if you said I was acting rude even if I didn't meant it. OK then.
You love to play semantics and split hairs on words. What I said, and what is out there for everyone to see, is that your responses were rude. I said that phrase "Not to be <insult>, BUT" is a dead giveaway that you're being exactly whatever insult that is. As I said above, I'll give it to you in your heart of hearts you didn't mean that, but what I'm saying is that with the continued action, regardless of whatever apology, you were BEING that way. The fact that you felt the need to preface or apologize in advance bears that right out. I called you rude, NOT lying.
As I'll point out, yet again, it was because that's how you had responded to me, exclusively, for almost 10 responses in and out of that thread. You really don't think I had any reason whatsoever to feel you were being insulting when everything you said to me came with a warning that its about to sound totally insulting?
4 months still left in the year..
err.. perhaps a nice time to have a contest where people voted off, get
to get voted back in?
we only got ONE contest for getting voted back in and while it was a two month long
issue.. err.. well dunno about anyone else, but I tryed to bite off more then my false dentures could chew and failed ta get an entry in on time.
plus I was disqualified in the first place for not being able to draw with a crayon :*(
All the prize stallions are falling away, so now is a good time for all the old donkeys to come in and try to make it the final few feet to the finish.. ..plus Farmville is starting to get old :*(
and I think its affecting my metaphors
Look, I'm sure we'd all like to be able to admit we're wrong, but if that happened, then what would we fight about?
WOW! This thread quickly became a total...

probably a good time to say how much im glad Wassy has been able to hold on for as long as she has.. artists arent the most stable people to begin with, let alone in a competition setting.
can we add a new rule along with the "hot chick one" ? ..
im thinking Wassys "STFU or GTFO" rule might work.
ARRGGHH!! that last post ruined my second to last post saying that I have just hit 666 post :*(
how about Septembers Fart conest as a way for old contestants to get in IF they win the popular vote and make it a MANDATORY hot chicks only rule for the month
Ooh oooh! Dramah! Can I help?
Caemgen, you are rude. You've been slowly turning into an *** these past months. But frankly, I like it. Better to say stuff than to hold onto it, spreading rumors underground. Though, just accept it and don't bother even trying to be civil anymore.
Wassy, you botched this from the very beginning, much like TA did. You can be mad about the situation, but it was destined from the start. You're right though, that Caemgen guy is a total jerk!
Okay, I'm done. King of Supan, away~

I'm getting the feeling that Wassy will want September to be the last month so she can free up her schedule and move on to other things.

Caemgen continually spouting off that I called him a liar when I in fact said he was rude is far more irritating.I
Wassy, thanks for taking this on. It's really got the potential to be a fun run, but, as we've seen, sometimes it just doesn't turn out that way.
Either way, I want to thank everyone involved - both in organizing and competing. I've exchanged numerous pms with so many of you, and I'm glad that we got to work on this kind of thing together.
There are a few more months to go in this year, so we'll all have some time to cool down and decide if there should be a 4th run at this.
As to the 2010 battle though, I'd personally prefer to see a final challenge where everyone knows it's the final challenge.
That's up to those involved though.
Final challenge: BOSS FIGHT! You have to defeat the three forms of Mecha-Statesman!

And yes, I do get to decide who deserves it!

Read my in-game stories and check out my DeviantART page.
- coXso - It was a memorable time filled with art!
Yeah, definitely didn't turn out how I wanted, but at least I can say I gave it the ol' college try. I'm actually not overly fuming about the end, though. If CR and Shia want a good theme to go out on and just skip over this vote, I've got no problem with that. But I knew if I didn't mention the immunity issue, it would be brought up anyway and I'd be accused of not taking the rules into consideration on THAT count =P I was just shocked at how Pyro chose to exit when I never said there wouldn't be an elimination.
Caemgen continually spouting off that I called him a liar when I in fact said he was rude is far more irritating.I |
That's understandable to be irritated Wassy - I find it even more irritating when someone instigates the situation and then retaliates and complains about it even though they originally instigated it. And you know who you are. In this case, you guys bashed on Caemgen's aesthetics in his art collections and decisions for quite awhile (not just this thread now), and then when he finally starts to defend himself or point out the hypocracy...you call him "rude" or a liar or whatever. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Instead of apologizing and moving on, you seem to continue to stir the pot. I suggest if you do something like hosting an event in the future Wassy, maybe...just maybe try to be a little more unbiased and not instantly lend your opinion to someone elses attempts at harassment like you did to me a few months back in the "flamey boots" BS. I appreciate Pyro's attempt to poke fun at that situation again because it really did get blown out of proportion and I didn't appreciate how you handled that for sure. I know trying to be neutral is tough, but considering how this has become the debacle it has become it could at least be a good learning experience.
And one more thing, I do still feel bad about Tartar getting booted over an image that didn't quite look like a crayon drawing. That's why when I see comments from Shaper (flaming as he might be) did raise a good point about the PG-13 rule/one-click rule and you haven't commented on that yet here Wassy and I wonder why? How is exposing part of Battlemaiden's nipple not crossing the line? And yeah CR, we do have some major differences in opinion too EXCEPT I don't like calling people out publicly on rules or whatever, but since you have done it to me on more then one occasion...seriously, why ride the line on breaking the rules so close on this month when you had immunity? I just don't see how another month could even happen now.
Sadly, I really thought this contest was about the art community. But it seems to be more like a medium showcasing the host and the clique-opinion of her closest friends or work-related associates. And you all wonder why some of the artist here decided to leave and work on more positive and fulfilling ventures.
Shia through attrition and adherence to the rules should just have this FArt title now. Amazing considering your rocky start and, oh yeah, you getting hit with the rule stick right off the bat, came through on top (in my opinion) in the end. Way to go Shia!
Sorry Pyro, I did like your piece too (it still gets my 1st place vote) and you had a great chance for going all the way, but your taboo selection will guarantee you are out this month. lol

I haven't commented on it, because I don't SEE it. What (I think) people are saying is part of a nipple looked to me like it was just a line weight choice. That side of the bikini was shadowed, so it was a heavier line at the bend. If CR INTENDED for it to be otherwise, than it is disqualifying.
As far as the flaming boots fiasco, all *I* said was how it came out to me at first blush. It looked to me like it was clearly a poke for not being able to include Bayani. If I'm not supposed to call them like I see them, then the whole thing doesn't have to have a judge anyway and it can be a free-for-all.
Also, get your facts straight. Tartyr WAS NEVER DISQUALIFIED. He was voted off in April. Go back and check. In the children's theme, I asked him what material he used when it didn't look like crayon. When he said it was, all was good.
Before you go off on tirades about what I have and haven't done, make sure you have some accuracy first.

Fair enough, in regards to Tartar...yes voted off, but alot of dialogue about the qualifying nature of his piece (that is the point here). Bayani boots, again...you commented on that right after it was brought up. You're all about the bewbs, yet didn't comment on that here on this one right away...hmmm. Yes, you do call them like you see them, until coincidentally it's an inconvenience?...conflicts with a friend? Yes, please do judge and call them like you see them. You've taken anatomy and lighting classes by now I am sure, CR has made it clear he sees mistakes in other peoples work but not his own. That said, adding "line weight" right were the "Areola" is where an extreme light spot is also appearing. There is no way a shadow or line weight could be there under those lighting conditions unless it is literally referencing/exposing part of the nipple. Now I know you like the bewbage and you will probably let this fly, but here is a blatant example of indecent content and you are dismissing this as a "tirade."
PS - I would go so far as to even enlarge it to point out my argument in an illustration, but it's just not an appropriate thing for me to do here and it would be hypocritical of me to do so.
