mine's been in for a while. But it's really crappy. Might as well hand this round to Alyssa Milano just like that... -.-

sweetums · member Member # Joined: 10 Aug 2004 Posts: 236

Oooh, goody!
Hideyoshi, if I win this round, and we end up going head to head, would you please, please, PRETTY PLEASE submit a crappy entry against me, too?

I'd REALLY appreciate it, since my entries look crappy even tho' I try to make 'em look good...lololol!

good luck guys!

Hideyoshi · Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2008 2:58 am

haha, I mean it! If you managed to create just 'anything', Alyssa, I'll surrender...
Sweetums: and you won't need to compete with me then! Very Happy

At this stage, I'll take last place, and STILL consider myself among some damn talented company for having made it this far.

This has been great practice, as well as fun, exciting, and a major pain in the ass for each and every round. It's all worth it everytime the entries are posted and we get to see them all at once.

I think the "unveiling" is the best part of this competition. Getting MY entry in on time is the second best. Not losing after that...lol!

C'MON, MED! It's been 36 hours now...We wanna see the pictures!!!

Hey Alyssa Milano, submit a stick dog with a stick hunting gun and duck... Laughing

C'mon, Med!

What is the holdup here on YOUR end, now?

The entries are already drawn...

YOU don't need 10 days to upload a whopping 6 images for us to vote on!

Bad enough it's going on THREE days...

me toooo...

(that said i second all your before the last one post sweetums, this part of waiting being the worse ahah.... and how did you know about the dog? damn)

sweetums · member Member # Joined: 10 Aug 2004 Posts: 236

The dog was on my "Alternate Ideas" list.

Along with:
* An Old person hunting for their dentures
* A woman in a parking lot looking for her car
* Prince Charming, a glass slipper, and a hundred stinky feet
* A seamstress with a haystack needing a needle
* Little kids, baskets, and a camoflaged egg...

What ideas did YOU reject?

My deepest apologies, !!! I haven't been home for a few days, I hope you can forgive me. I'll post them as soon as possible.

sweetums · member Member # Joined: 10 Aug 2004 Posts: 236

Hell's bells, Med!

Today is WEDNESDAY!
The deadline was SATURDAY!

Allowing for 5 minutes Per Picture to upload the darn things through Imageshack, or Paintbucket, or whoever, we're talking half an hour, here...TOPS.

If you have internet access to this site, you have access to your PMs with the images...
CERTAINLY you could have "preuploaded" those images submitted EARLY, to have links ready...

It's ONLY 6 images, Med...c'mon!

Perhaps you would care to clarify just WHEN "as soon as possible" MIGHT possibly occur???

notic · Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2008 12:14 pm

woh! i was starting to get nervous Smile

cici, the sense of scale is insane! i get the feeling that i should be moving!

hideyoshi, nah man, it's cool to see something completely different from you!

alyssa, love the clean shapes you work with, your style is quite different and refreshing!

great work everyone

daryl · Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2008 12:41 pm

great work guys, a pleasure to see!

if the anonymity is gonna work maybe the image files should be named differently.. even though some are easy to recognize just by style Smile

Anonymity was a pipe dream, at best...
Med thought the styles distinctive enough that anonymity wasn't needed...

Great work guys ! ^^

I've counted all the votes that I have received, and 3 contestants have been eliminated. It's been fun so far, I'm trying to keep up with this whilst juggling a few things here and there.

So! We have three people left! Round 5 will start on Monday the 10th.
There will be a theme, and there will be a First place, Second place, and Third place by your votes.

Congrats so far to Alyssa Milano, Sweetums, and Cicinimo Smile

On a different subject;
Anybody going to Illuxcon in PA this coming weekend? http://www.illuxcon.com/

neff · Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 10:10 am

Neff, I'm a sucker for the cape and musket, what can I say?

Seriously though I love so much stuff about yours, the story, composition of the image, the reflection on those aviators... top notch stuff.[/i]
