I think that they all did a good job, and they all look nice... Well maybe just plain Odd, but mostly nice.

I just loved the originality, all the works were so different it made the voting very diverse.

seriously dark, if I had to go against you in the finals, I would have been proud to win/lose against you (most likely lose). But no, I lost to someone that takes images and adds granulation and lightens/darkens colors. And fire affects! But only sometimes.
Personally I think he won due to the fact that JTHM is such a known and beloved figure to us freaks and that if he did ANYTHING with Johnny, it would win. I should have figured that, but I thought I would grace you all with something from my heart.
About my piece: First off, the girl is someone that I like. And she doesnt know it. This picture WAS going to be used to break the ice, but has recieved ALOT of insult (not just from you guys). The wings are sort of scattered for several reasons. If they were uniformed, they would become mundane and boring to look at. Also, it sort of represents the girls inner chaos of emotions, though you would not be able to tell other wise due to the fact that she is resting. Originally, the pic was going to have an added character in it, but I didn't have enough time. I think I will post more on this IN the contests thread.

Ya, the wings had to be done in a 20 minute lunch time with someone shoving a "Treebeard" picture in my face. Not a good drawing environment.

Euro... do you count me in the "insulting" catagory?

Just curious as you seem to be going out of your way to punish those who disagree with your image... not that you can do anything to me that would mean anything.... but I wanted to check and see whats going on inside that artistic head o yours.

Listen kid. Loose with grace and dignity. There is no reason to get nastey about the art I made for one or the other competitions.
You have absolutely no idea about what you speak, as you freely admitted when you said you have no idea how to use the programs I do. I have great respect for all sketch artists, as I am one myself, so dont go off half cocked thinking you know just what the fuck is going on.
You lost. Big deal. Get the fuck over it and quit attacking people.
If you want to have a sketch battle, than by all means challenge me and I will accept, since Im such an "inferior artist".

And btw, what exactly do you think Dark did in his pic? You think he painted that himself? Wrong. His was a photo maip, just as mine was, so how is loosing to his (an event that didnt take place) so much more honorable or desired as loosing to mine (an event which did take place).
Id be will to stake my salery that if dark had beat you, you would be spout of miss informed teenage horseshit at him, the same way you are at me.



For the rest of you guys that arnt crying like little bitches with a skinned knee, excellent job. I had alot of fun making all of these pieces and competeing. We should definetly do it again somtime in the near future.
Dark, you need to stay in this time round, Im tired of just competing against you at lil ol HypeO ;)
Great job everyone. Thanks for the sportsmanship attitude that 99% of you displayed, and I thank you all for letting me participate. ^_^
