Fan Art Competition 2011

[Splat]

Right, deadline is extended to the 14th of April, upon which date if I haven't received at least two entries the competition will end.

[CrissCross]

i should post you my entry before the end o the day

[Gwan-Thwei]

Ill do my best. My drawing arm got sprained.
I appreciate the extention, Splat.

[CrissCross]

Results tomorrow

[MeechMunchie]

Bugger. I'm going to miss the deadline.

[STM]

Shit same here, I had an idea but I can't submit it until tonight because its a photo! >=(

[ziggy]

What is the theme of the competition? Is it anything fan art related to Oddworld?

Nevermind, I was a good boy and actually read the first page. I might work on something today. If I can finish something worthwhile in one day that is.

[Gwan-Thwei]

I know it's the last day, I'm working on it later tonight. It should be done by then.

[Splat]

First, the results won't be given as soon as the competition ends 'cus they need to be judged.

I've only had one entry, so the competition can't really happen. But since some of you are still working on it, I'll give a few more days. Entries must be in by the end of Sunday. If there aren't any more by then, the competition dies a horrible painful death.

Come on guys!

[MeechMunchie]

See, this is why I didn't specify how far through mine I was. I knew if I said it was half-finished, you'd extend the deadline again, and though God bless you, you mean well, I just couldn't bear to let you down again. Sometimes you've just got to draw the line.

That said, I should be able to get mine in by Sunday, though my scanner's rubbish.

[CrissCross]

hey splat when should the results be in?
(like after judging)

[STM]

Finally managed to submit mine, I'm off the hook now right? =)

[Splat]

I didn't know you were on a hook. I have two entries now, so there will be a competition. I still haven't organised judges so I don't know when the entries will be in, though it could be a notoriously long time (hopefully not).

[dripik]

I say we should wait until there are at least 3 entries, then set a deadline of a week or so. I don't think there should be a rush about this, but it obviously needs to end sometime.

[CrissCross]

Hi 5 STM we're the only ones doing it right now
but yeah i hope more people actually do this (apart from dipstikk if he does were all screwed)

[STM]

Hi 5 Criss Cross! Let's go have a booze up to celebrate.

[CrissCross]

Yay!

EDIT: also good luck STM

[STM]

Yeh good luck CrissCross...winner gets a cookie?

[CrissCross]

you're on!

[AvengingGibbons]

can't wait to see the entries ^^... Hey splat? Could you link us to last years entries? I've looked so hard to find them but can't .. I don't think I fully understand how the search function works either; If I search for something specific, it always seems to return many recent results, including very recent ones from 'yesterday'. I don't know what I'm doing wrong..

[dripik]

Try checking the Useful Fan Corner Links thread, which is conveniently linked in the very first post of this thread by the way.

[Ridg3]

I would have joined in if it wasn't for the cruel comments on my piece last year.

[Splat]

Uh, cruel? The judges said they liked it but they thought the background should have been inked.

Meh, at least it gives Nexy an excuse to try out her broomstick.

[Ridg3]

Well, they shattered my confidence and I retreated into a defensive little shell where no pen/pencil/marker would be put to paper ever again.

[MeechMunchie]

Permit me, if you will to tell a tale of woe...

I have been somewhat uneasy about the deadlines, mainly guilt since I'd actually spent far less time on my entry than I should have. So when I saw that final chance, I spent two solid days drawing, sustained by only Crunchie Rocks and Trash80 music.

Finally, at 6 o'clock tonight, I finished. I flattened out the curling paper, packed away my stuff, pulled my concept sketches from the wall and headed downstairs. 'Perhaps Splat will go easy and will accept it past the deadline. He probably hasn't sent the entries out to the judges yet. I might not be too late.' I push upon the activation rune of my computer.

*Whirr* *Click-click-click...*

FFUUUUUU~

I have my entry on my lap right now, as I type this from my laptop, which alas does not communicate with my scanner. I've taken a photo as proof, which I am uploading to send to Splat as we speak. But as things stand, I cannot say whether my entry can be in within a week.

If this was an Indiana Jones movie, I would currently be lying in excruciating pain, my hand crushed beneath the door as I reached to retrieve my hat.

[STM]

Doesn't matter, my pic is solid! Seriously, metamorphism to the max. But I've said too much.

[CrissCross]

so are the results coming today???

If it's a were-Paramite I will kill you.

so are the results coming today???

No.

[Gwan-Thwei]

mine's only half done.
>sighs<
And I just noticed the deadline.
oh well. I'll finish it and post it on OWF when I feel like it.

[dripik]

You did notice the rest of the posts, right? Where we're saying that the deadline is kind of suspended, and Splat still needs to find a number of judges in order to have multiple opinions on the entries instead of just a couple?

so are the results coming today???

Nor today. Or the day after, I wager. Let's say you can freely organize your weekly schedule without having to worry about the results.
