[Senira]

Congrats to the winners! I did a new version of my pic anyways, since it was going into my 'folio. Thanks for the crits from everyone who gave them!

[mrgrumble]

crap now i have to start it again :/ haha! congrats to all the winners. well deserved to all!

[Felicia]

Tomorrow? :O

Congratulations to all the winners!!!

JLAlfaro BTW you forgot number 8

[sve]

JLAlfaro, match 8 is absent.
Have to say, you were a wonderful organizer and I like your sense of humor and your story about girl you stalked in your teens age. So funny! I wish I saw your drawing of her gorgeous face with flowers in her hair and butterfly on her shoulders. I wish someone did this for me! Such beautiful noble feeling. heheh her dad chased you, heh. Funny.
I wish you told the other story when you car turned over with you inside.

[Leari_79790]

Wonderous stuff guys!

Yo! JLA, I know what you and the judges have said about me (and I'm flattered) but I'm just not sure a judge is allowed a special mention. So who among the competitors got a special mention? I gave mine to bloodstone, did any of the other judges put out a mention?

Btw do judges have to gives crits as long and insightful as Sve's? cos geez that might be pushing my small and limited vocabulary...

[masque]

many thanks to all who made kind comments and sharp crits on my pic, gotta say i agree with about 90% of the crits and the other 10% have me paying better attention to things as well. it was very good to see so many offering C&C. that's the spirit! :yayca:

and many thanks also to the judges who gave their time to review and respond with their votes. if any would like to offer crits, i'm sure they'd be most welcome.

biggest kudos to all the participants, for making this a major entertainment with lots of variety and energy. good pics, too :D ! best of luck to those moving into Round 2.

JLAlfaro, you d'man, man. excellent job riding herd on us.

we can enter new work in Round 2, right? if so, i'd like to get Valkyrie Ascending into the mix if that's OK with everyone.

[sve]

I don't have vocabulary, I have dictionary :). Please don't call my silly comments long, that's not what I wanted to be noticed in them. It is my shortcoming, not anything good, I tried to be sincere, not impressive.

[masque]

Sve, dearest, when you are sincere, you are extremely impressive. you just can't help it. just gonna have to live with it :teeth:

[Joeslucher]

Nerdlinger- I think our minds would explode with glee if the judges gave crits. Unfortunately I'm sure you're all busy and with all the critiquing that's been happening already, I'm betting most has already been said.

The amount of C&C people have given each other in this thread is amazing and THE reason I love CA. It was great being involved.

[sve]

You owe me Hippie stories. Are you still smiling ? I am :).
I'm always sincere. Honesty is the best policy for me .

[masque]

Hippie stories. far out, man. where to start? 1968... yeah, that'd be good. gimme some time to cudgel me brains a bit. should i blog this on 3.0, so's not to clutter the art forums? it's definitley blog-like material.

smiling? always!

[sve]

Far out it is, in the 3.0.
You are mine until then.

[JL.Alfaro]

Sorry guys, match 8 is in- well that was weird and embarrassing:bashful:

Thanks guys, Man I cant wait until the next round!
Unfortunately some of the judges are too busy to throw some crits our way, but from what I heard, it was very hard for them to make up a decision on some of the entries.

Ikuru- you owe me one bud, its you and me, mano a mano on the next round.

-JL

-JL
OH YEAH!
You got yourself a Deal there buddy boy!
I'M DOWN!
YOUR ON!


If you want me to go easy on you (I'll keep my mouth shut, if your a crybaby about receiving some decent trashtalk). Just go right ahead and tell me.

(some specific info would be nice, when's the deadline? is this the final round? can we go for a new god alltogether if we decide to paint something new?)

JLAlfaro, ...you were a wonderful organizer.
Hey! He still is you know! ;)

Sweet, I'll get to monitor the love you two share in that match! haha!! I'm looking forward to this:wink:

-Nerdling.
You just make sure to vote for the right guy, old buddy ol mate, and I'll make sure to show the birdonoid my linework is sharper than Masamune steel.

[trevor]

AW min i was hoping to get my ass handed to me by YOU in the next round
so for my second choice..............I CALL OUT EVERYONE! HAHAHAAH

[The Artist Fox]

When is the deadline? I'm doing a new peice so I'd like to get matched up with someone who is also doing something new -- any takers?

=FOX=

[GriNGo]

I'll take you on The Artist Fox.

One question: For this round do we need to make another illustration? If so how much time are you going to give us? Do we need to work with the same good we did before?

[ikuru]

Ilaekae thats some pretty Impressive shit there! Just seen your entry! Well done!

I heard you were on a one on one against masque right?
Or did that one never happen?

I smell blood!

and it's time for coffie!

[chaosrocks]

pay attention
ikuru.... the mono a mono matchup happend... it was impressive.

Congratulations to all. Im glad Im not going on.
good luck Jake

chaos

[JL.Alfaro]

No guys, you dont need another illustration, but if you want to make another or if you already started it-by all means enter it. But there are a few that are unfinished (like mine) that could use a little tuning up and could be turned in for 2nd round.

Not sure about the deadline, Im thinking March 11th or 18th- how much time do you guys need to get it together?...and no extensions.

-JL

[strych9ine]

Congrats all. :D AND john! you bastid, I guess I was lucky

and while I am at it...
CODY!!!!!!!!!!!! I challenge YOU!!! (revenge for eri!)

:D

SHIT!

Look at Min, he's got that crazy look in his eyes that can only mean I'm about to get violated in public. I feel like I totally squeaked by a win with that last piece... that means I've got to do a new one, which will still only result in me getting violated by Min in the worst of ways anyway. JLAlfaro, give us to March 18th or something? PLEASE.

Eri, you talented bastard, I thought you had me... good show my man. Now I get to have Min rape me in front of all of my peers.

[Noen Azdak]

Great job people!!! Good luck on the next one. Congrats and Love!

[John]

Congrats all. AND john! you bastid, I guess I was lucky

Hehe, you beat me deadz. Thanks for teh ownage, bum :)

[GriNGo]

I vote March 18th aswell.

[ikuru]

pay attention
ikuru.... the mono a mono matchup happend... it was impressive.
chaos
thanks C

I missed that.

I too vote March 18.

So from your respons JLA I take it it's OK to go for another God alltogether right (I will probably just finnish my old peace anyhow since it needs work and that)?

[Ilaekae]

Sorry for the confusion, Iku'...I couldn't finish my piece in time for the comp, so I went head to head with Masque in a sep contest when I finished. The piece was uploaded to my server but i forgot to move it to another "album" before I posted, so it is showing up in the judging set-up. When I get time, I'll rearrange things. The piece ISN'T in competition...:x

[v0rbiss]

Congrats to all the winners, have fun in the next round and supply us with eyecandy as usual! 8)

JL, I'll proudly wear any loosatar touched by your cursor, I'm eager to see it! :pirate:

[Rich Pellegrino]

Congrats to everybody. we all did some of our best work here. Have a drink for yourselves and be proud!!!

Arkady, WTF!?! there must be a mistake on our match. I'm going to assume i passed on just because mine was more finished. i thought i was toast the whole time! I call for a recount!

[ikuru]

I would like to have a "Final round allso" like a real LMS. ;)

[The Artist Fox]

GriNGoLoCo it's on... do we start the smack talk now or do we wait for a new thread?

=FOX=

[bumskee]

SHIT!

Eri, you talented bastard, I thought you had me... good show my man. Now I get to have Min rape me in front of all of my peers.

oh.. ermm.. that's what u said to eri last time..and...look what happened.. this is like where I stalk you for rapage! and BAM! u rape me instead... heheh..

will be fun! :D march 18th sounds better.

[ikuru]

Rape huh?
there is a word I have not used enough when it comes to art and smacktalk!
:)

it will be pleasure to watch you guys rape eachother! :D

[trevor]

i myself will do a whole new pic
may use the same god may change it im not sure
or maybe if whoever challenges me wants to swap our round 1 gods? hmmmm? any takers? just dont make me draw a god from some sci fi book i have never read lol

march 18 sounds rad
and a final round free for all would be nice as well

[trevor]

ps
you guys call it rape
i call it "forced love making"

[GriNGo]

lol, wherever you want Artis_Fox... eitherway you're going to lose :D ROFLOL!

[bumskee]

So we all do a new pic and the theme is same.. deadline 18th?

[GreenTopaz]

eheh...I actually thought that round two was going to happen immediately after the results came in.. but if we're gonna get another month, then I suppose I might as well do a whole new picture.

congrats and good luck guys...try to keep your pants up, will ya?

[ikuru]

So lets get started then! :):yayca: :moon: :cheerleader: :nerd: :uzi2:
I was going to keep this a secret, But I hate fucking secrets so I'm telling you this now.
I like some parts of my old entry... I like the character and I like the fire and I like the lotus... But the composition as a whole...
When I shirnk it to a thumb... It's CRAP! I'm allmost shamed to have it on my web page! thats how crap it is (and I have allot of things on my web page). What else, Like I said I made it in haste, I didn't have time to even mirror it, when I do, more crap!
So to make a long story short, I could sit down and try to fix it, but Im not gonne do that.

Im doing brand new stuff for this round.
So whatever you do JLA, make sure to bring out your big guns.

(and throw another final in there, cuz 3 rounds is way better than 2.)

[sone_one]

ps
you guys call it rape
i call it "forced love making"

lol ... im looking foward to the next round :)

[tou]

Congrats everyone. March 18 sounds cool. I think i'm gonna do a new piece with the same character. Good luck all.

[City]

Wow! Rather unexpected :}
Congratulations to all who made to the second round!

... I guess I need to think of something new now!
>:D

[Bloodstone]

I'm surprised more people aren't choosing to continue working on their original entries. I liked the composition of mine, so I'm sticking with it. Better to have one nice finished piece than two mediocre ones, right? :)

[trevor]

well
in answer to that blood
in my case for sure at least
i dont think i can take mine much further without simply accentuating
the flaws i and others have come to notice
and when you have as little non freelance time as i do
every chance you get to make something new AND personal is a gift from heaven
ill be lucky to get my new one done at all but somehow i made the other deadline (tho all in all i think i only spent about 10 hrs on it)
and for the next one i am even busier hahahah
2 art tests this week alone plus deadlines! (please cross your fingers for me! i need the luck!!!!!!)

[j a k e]

crossed brotha!
Decided I'm making a new one. Learning from my mistakes.

[ikuru]

Better to have one nice finished piece than two mediocre ones, right? :)

From now to the 18 of march would be enough to create something beyond mediocre...
I bet allmost everyone will make new stuff in the end.

JLA, waiting eagerly for the new lineup.

TrevO, There is no such thing as luck in art dude.

[trevor]

CORRECTION
the luck i was asking for was not "luck in art"
it is luck in general
this is THE company i want to work for
not some random application to any old company
so be a sport and cross some damn fingers for me HAHAH

[masque]

good luck, Trev. can't cross my fingers, they're in use at the mo', makin' some new art, but how 'bout a coupla toes? :teeth:

[ikuru]

this is THE company i want to work for...
...so be a sport and cross some damn fingers for me HAHAH

OK, I wish you luck and I will put up a big cross for you.
http://www.gatewaysimmental.com/images/luckycrosslogosmall.jpg

[sve]

crossed, trevor :). good luck to you in general and in art :).

[Felicia]

I am just going to fix up my old one too.
I have a lot to fix.

Good luck trevor on your applications!

[Ostrander]

Whoa, so this is what I missed being stuck in bed with the flu for the last 2 days? Maaaan... :zzz:
I thought for sure you had me sve, from the moment I saw yours. I thought your entry was wonderfully refreshing. I am certain there is a line of people willing to avenge you sve. And I'm pretty certain in the end I'll be left holding my own head. :dead:
Thanks everyone for all of your wonderful critiques and comments. I wished I had the time to write something about each and every piece everyone has done but I just can't spare the time.
Thanks to the judges for taking the time to decide who moves on from all of these beautiful pieces. A difficult task that I don't envy.

Congratulations and good luck to everyone who made it to round two!

Register 10 is open with no line or waiting to avenge sve. :bashful:

[sve]

:). Like people have nothing better to do with their life but avenge me :). Who cares, sweety :).
Thanks, you are a gentleman, Glen. I hope guy upstairs will give you A plus for your nice attitude. Don't be sick anymore and all the best to you.

[masque]

Sve, if it's alright with you and alright with Glen, i'd like to let my Valkyrie wreak some revenge. what say?

[sve]

Chiiiiiiip, ahahah, thanks. Very good choice, you will have a great time socializing with Glen, he is a very fine guy and artist, and a sweetheart. And you, and you.
Don't beat him up please, he is my buddy too. just win this battle without making any bruises. I like his skin spots free.

[mrgrumble]

so when will the random pairings be announced? im just curious to know how badly im about to get beaten so i can brace for impact!

[Ostrander]

You're a sweetie sve. :)
Sounds good to me Masque. I don't suppose you'd mind if I do a new piece do you?

[masque]

i'd love it Glen, the more art the merrier! hell, if i get really industrious, i may do another Valkyrie, something with a little more edge, maybe ;).

btw, i subscribe to Bruce Lee's style*... " the art of fighting, without fighting"... so bruises should be minimized.




*well, in the early part of Enter the Dragon, at least

[bumskee]

should someone start a new thread for round 2? :P

[trevor]

Chip
he may have called it "the art of fighting, without fighting"
but i distinctly saw a fistfull of chuck norris's chest hair that sent an entirely different message

[JL.Alfaro]

Im doing the pair ups later today, gotta make sure I get everyone...

I will start a new thread with the matches listed. In order to save some space and confusion, Im gonna ask that you guys send me your entry via PM or email. Deadline will be on March 18th.


-JL

[mrgrumble]

you guys want some bad ass bruce lee power? just go HEAH (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keS3OTNger8&mode=related&search=)!

can you say one inch punch?

[masque]

yeah, trev, he really cut loose on Bob Wall as Oharra later in the flick (among others), but i always thought it was pretty cool how he ditched that Ozzie punk without a punch -- makin' him lose face was worse than him losin' teeth :teeth:
