issue of grading on a curve seems fine to me.

still, with all the drama.. I dont see why most people dont want to be the person in charge of the fan art contest.

I think someone should help Lusca out with that dyslecia problem!

Perhaps the rest of us should put all our points in a karma pool and use them to buy a parent.
Nah not worth it, do you have any idea what it shipping and handling costs on a parent these days??? It's outrageous I tellz ya.

You should totally go for third cousins... best bang for your "feel special about yourself" buck hands down... so I've heard.

Ya ya okay jokes/sarcasm aside I get what you two are saying. Everyone has family and friends.
Nothing special about it nor should anyone here give a flying Hellion about what people
around me said so I'll leave them out of future posts regarding the contest.

My bad and thanks for pointing it out both of you.

I am curious though if anyone else, were they in my place, would
be bothered by this (either in principle or with its application here) at all?

Been away from the boards last few days and didn't catch what you said before redacting but I do appreciate the sentiment of the words that remain.
While I am unhappy with how one aspect of the contest is going, I am genuinely interested/excited
to see how the rest of it plays out and of course I'm looking forward to the artz.

I probably could've said it better but I'm glad at least a few people understood what I was trying to get across.
Thanks Caemgen (and DD and those who sent PM's ).

PS: See you next year!
Not sure what you have going on with Father's Day but if not tonight I'll catch ya in the next day or two on Skype for sure Bobby. We've got a bunch of stuff to talk about (I still want to hear the wrap up from your trip too ), and some more in-game whoopage to dish out.

P.S. Lousy Day bows out of the FArt about this same time every year as he has classes starting up and while I never like to seem him drop (even though he regularly crushes everyone in the votes lol) it's to be expected and there are usually a few who go due to time constraints or RL stuff (Techbot?) but I hope that's it.

Also a reminder - last day for the Early bird point!

Next month's theme will be posted mid-this week. I'm also moving so other things might get delayed a bit while I get things situated in my new apartment, unless someone (not in the contest) wants to volunteer to post the voting thread/next months thread in the case that I don't get my internet switched over in a timely manner?

Last couple of years I dropped out in the middle because I got lazy/burned out, but this time it's for the better. I just finished my first week at school, and I am basically staying there from 8:30 am - midnight mon-fri and 10-10 on saturday and enjoying every minute of it. I live only a half block away from school, so I just come home for lunch and dinner breaks and go right back. School is closed on sundays so I got to catch up on sleep and relax today. I've never been this diligent in my life, and I am excited to see where it will take me if I can keep this up for a year. I don't know when I will have time to work on personal or coh related stuff, but hopefully by this winter I will be able to do some decent 3d stuff.

Ah okay I thought for sure you mentioned in a prior year it was due to your classes.

Had I only known...
I could've been calling you Lazy Day all this time.

Regardless, I look forward to seeing what kind of cool 3D stuff you come up with LD.

Let's not forget the not-so-secret Special Rule that all FArt entries should include *me* somewhere in the composition.

It won't necessarily help you to win that month, but it will sure make *me* squee with delight at get teh free artsies!

You might even find some gift wrapped fish-stix under your holiday bush in December. (No promises, tho. You should give me teh free artsies out of the goodness of your heart and not because of the temptation of getting teh free fish-stickies! )

Thanks, LadyJudgement!

The best possible references are ChristopherRobin's fabulous and spot-on picture of me in my sig, as well as Miss Psygon's nomtastic chiba under my name. I am a Russian Blue kitty (NOT a thrice-accursed Atlas Catgirl!!!! )

(*gives LadyJudgement a couple pawsful of fish-stix to help stir her muse*)

(*huggles LadyJudgement and then squees with delight!*)

Smaller shot here, if it helps... I was trying to increase the contrast to bring out the details, but ended up preferring the natural grim tones of Independence Port. Still, you can never have too much pentacle torn.

Thanks, Miss LJ!

If you can work in a full moon into your composition, that would be nomtastic. Thanks!

I decided my theme would be additional cards using arcana and in game signatures not featured in the official Mystic Fortune set. I used wikipedia and matched signatures to the interpreted readings of a card, and used a similar style to match the in game card renderings.

I figure the Ten of Wands is the most obscure character and then people will wonder why is it that card? Simply, Null the Gull solves the problem of the Ten of Wands, so stands atop them instead of being burdened by them.

Great picture, Miss LJ! Thanks!

In an alternate dimension, I am really ... Peppermint Patty!

I'm not sure that I get the Tarot reference, though.

(*squees with delight at getting teh free artsies and hangs the new picture in a special place in the Katt Kave!*)

That makes it even better!

Thanks!

Thanks also to the FArt contestants for this little bit of indulgence.

Hmmm! This picture has a moon, so it can be ... um ... THE MOON!

If Null The Gull doesn't mind, maybe I can have the 10 of Fish-Stix!

((Of course, the guy in syrusb's beautiful card set might disagree. Too bad, too. The colors of those cards are ... PURPLE *and* PINK!))

(*mews plaintively at syrusb to swap her for that guy ... before the deadline arrives*)
