Battle of the Sexes TD--Ladies Post Finals Here

**Ilaekae** · February 9th, 2009

This thread is for the posting of all final entries by your gender team ONLY. You can post WIPS if you feel you need some help, but make sure we know what your final is for the poll.

Try to keep trash talk and chatter in these two threads to a minimum, unless you're offering advice.

You don't HAVE to post early--you can wait til last minute, but if you would really like to get some input from your fellow competitors, this is the place and time to do it...

I know most of the Ladies have probably been using the Ladies Only Forum for this purpose, so just to be fair, we're making it possible for the guys to do it, too...just in public.

I will do that. thank you I didn't even notice that.

**SMILEFACE** · February 12th, 2009

i think if you seprate the shape of the shoulder from the shoulderblades a bit more it might really help w/ the arms

**spaztastic** · February 12th, 2009

I shall do that now Spect

**spaztastic** · February 13th, 2009

decided to take the bg distraction away for the moment so I could work out the details on the people. well here are the men... facing the right way... still trying to figure out the arms. lemme know if I am getting close.

**spaztastic** · February 13th, 2009

I know garish outlines I am sorry , I had to do something. I will work on this a bit later. have to go pay bills

plod: and buy stuff

**ChaoticKnight** · February 13th, 2009

You generally need to beef up their torsos. Especially C, because his torsos needs to be wider to even support arms like that. Also, guys dont have waists that skinny generally, plump them up a bit.

**tompn5** · February 13th, 2009

Just one thing - The A's legs don't match the body - too big/thick.
Other than that just great Spaz.

**Black Spot** · February 13th, 2009

Can't let spaz be by herself. Final

**SMILEFACE** · February 13th, 2009

Ok fine.... I'll put mine up as well. I'm about an hour or so away from being done anyway. Hey, do I have to put a big frame around this with the challenge name on it like CHOW when I'm officially done? I hope not...

EDIT 2/15:

**kelly x** · February 13th, 2009

**SMILEFACE** · February 14th, 2009

shannanigan ,kelly x's im about to have a heart attack from awesome greatness yall RRRRRRRRROOOOOOOCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

**tsujni** · February 15th, 2009

shannanigan - Lovely work, absolutely love the texture on the tree and background. I'd like to think it adds a certain quality to the work. Regarding the subject, I find it to be a fascinating statement regarding sexism. I mean, I see a black, brown, and white male bonding together in "brotherhood" to deny the female. Awesome piece.

Spaz - You already know the crits as to anatomy, so I'll add softness. The image appears too soft, I think that you need to add more "sharp" shapes!
The men might provide the frame for these shapes. In regards to subject, I'm am greatly disturbed by anything having to do with the YMCA.

Black Spot - Your piece, it's composition, seems familiar to me. I just can't place it.

kelly x - I love this idea, the concept resonates with me. That said, I think that it suffers from softness. I think it would be interesting if you rendered the background sharp, leaving the figures soft. Maybe, even rendering their clothes with sharp folds as well. This, kinda, maybe, signifying the structure of the institution in opposition to the "soft" organic patients.

Well, I hope these help, I mean, I have a hard time with crit'ing others work, as I have little idea as what I'm doing. Think of it as a sharing of my thoughts.

**Black Spot** · February 15th, 2009

I messed about tons with my composition before I was happy with it. It would be interesting if you find out who you were thinking of.

Yeah, I mean seems so fucking familiar. I just can't place it. Now, I'm not trying to accuse you of a PO or "lifting" of someone else work, it just seems familiar. I'll leave it at that.

**Black Spot** · February 16th, 2009

Hee, you should see all the different combinations I did.

Ilaekae, I don't think you can save the above picture as it's at flickr, so I uploaded it to my SB here
