T T A week would have been wonderful... On a great sidenote, if I'm still in, ya'll get to see my inking and coloring pictures 'cause I'm going to get a scanner! =DOriginally Posted by tan
So, yeah... the deadline is tonight for those two. If they don't turn them in, I guess I'll just have to erase them and skip a challenge :\
You make it sound like you don't want to. When you don't have to. Its your challenge o_O; If you want them to stay in and they're still going to try. I'm sure people are more interested in seeing everyone's work than getting on with the next challenge as fast as possible. But if they're not going to give any hint as to their next move (attempt or forfeit) then I guess you'd have no choice. Either of them contact you at all?
Rengori said he was busy and today was his first day of school, so I think he's just busy.
Meat Puppet, on the other hand, has completely just ignored my PMs when I told him to PM me back, so I don't what's going on with him.
To tell you honestly, I'm tired of this. The contestants said that they were going to stay through the whole competition. I can understand that some things come up unexpectedly and they have to drop out, but anyone who drops out should at least tell me so I don't have to delay the judging for no reason.
I think Meat Puppet has been here the last couple of days so I think he just doesn't want to participate at this point.

tan, I was curious as to if you have considered having the artists leave something of an artist's description or note concerning their submitted piece. Art is very interpretive, but the artist is the creator, and many times, we try to convey certain things in our pieces of work. This may include how we situate the subject(s), our use of line, etc... Whether we mean it or not, we most likely meant to do particular things in the drawing itself, and as such, it may prove interesting to see the maker's notes.
However, I wouldn't exactly suggest having an artist's notes be seen before the judging, for that could very well, whether consciously or not, skew the judges' thoughts and interpretations.
So if you consider and ask or suggest that we do this, I would then suggest that our notes appear after the judging. I have always found artists' notes on their work to be quite interesting, and I am sure others would agree.
Just a thought.
...
I was thinking about having this for some of the more interpretive challenges, and I think that artists' comments should be shown to the judges just so they can defend their pictures, I guess.
I think you're right Rengori. If he doesn't submit a picture by the end of today I'll just erase him so all of you will go onto the next round. There will be a winner announced, if the judges start judging (I hope they've started).
Not to sound mean or anything... and I know I've said this before. But we're doing this for -fun- not -prizes-. You don't have to skip a challenge, we don't care what happens in the end because in the end, there will be two artists and all the rest of us are going to be off still drawing, yeah we'll be happy for the winner, but we just want to draw. I'm highly surprised that there isn't a topic thread in the artist forum that people would be all "hey draw this!" and have alot of different things to choose from, and we'd all have the time and want to draw the things to their ability. At this point, I'm not even stressed because it's a 'challenge' the constant bickering in the thread is what's bothering me, hence I just read and don't talk because I don't want to get into it. I'm sure other's are feeling that way too. =/
Yes, Avarice-ness, I know that, but I want this challenge to be serious. I mean, not too serious or anything, but not to the point where you can just say, "Meh. Who cares about the competition?" and just completely blow it off. I think that people are taking it seriously, which I appreciate.
I've had more important things to do than an internet art competetion. I don't think I'll be able to make it so just tell the judges to start judging and get on with the third round.

I'm almost done with judging these.
I'm not taking is seriously. It really doesn't matter who "wins", or if anyone wins at all. I'm just enjoying seeing people's drawings, and I'm sure others are enjoying drawing them. Everyone could keep drawing all the challenges even after being officially kicked out, I'd still like that too. There's no hurry either. Let it take till Christmas, it'll still be fun.
I agree with Nominus Experse, I'd like to see what the artists thought (after judging), and see if I agreed with them and got what they were trying to communicate.
I will start judging these tomorrow. When are the results due? I believe you said Sunday.
Saturday would be nice.
Anyways, I forgot to add Avarice-ness and lovehurts' picture. Please be sure to check back on those to judge them :)
You gotta realize you're basically working against yourself, tan. The more serious you want it taken, and the more dramatic it gets because of that, the less serious anyone else is going to want to take it. I think the term you're looking for is professional. And there really isn't any way to get a professional atmosphere out of this
