Entrys can still be edited/submitted until tomorrow.

Mega_Horn has been banned from entering this competition for attempting to cheat.

I am serious, no cheating. Mega_Horn bribed somebody to recolour a sprite. The bribe didnt work luckily.



Everybody else, nice art coming along.

I would like to apoligize for the atteption of cheat. (that sounds catchy )

I am also glad I am now banned because I have learned my lesson. If I hadnt been banned, I wouldnt have learned my lesson.

Okay, got it. Here's mine.

Hope you all like it. I have to get off, there's a thunder storm now...

I'm glad you learn to value artists work. now make pie for us as an apolagize.



We could use a storm here, its 30 degrees celsius here every day now and I love it when it rains and thunders , makes you feel cosy inside your house xD , anyways, nice sig, the ice stars reminds me of ... my sig ! lol its totally different though, great job.

I'll make a scratch sprite next competition, since I cant enter now on more.

Ummm... I kinda nervous, but here's my first ever drawing for the art comp. It is really my first ever drawing. Do you like it?

Gee...everyone's work is really good! I'm glad i entered this competition, it's fun!

Loco that definatelty looks awesome, great coloring and style!
the lineart could be a bit better though.

I have a drawing

Lol nah you're ok. I added extra time of about a day and a half as I wanted lots of people to enter.

Now, how this is going has changed. Instead of the score from all rounds for each person added up. Your best score will be taken. If you've only entered one round. That's a shame and that one score will be used to see if you win.
If people are drawing for 1st/2nd/3rd, i'll look at the artwork and decide who wins.

Comprende? Understand?

You have until midday UK time today. So 5 hours left. EDIT: And yes, that does mean im up at 7am.
Results will be in Saturday midday or earlier if you're very lucky. Because I give big comments with each piece of art. ^_^

Happy... drawing/spriting/sig-making!

You entered your entry on page 3, it's saved on my computer and will be judged tonight/tomorrow morning.

ROUND 2 OVER

Thank you for entering everybody, i've seen some lovely entries. Can't wait to rate them.

Round 3 will start when I post the results of this round tomorrow. It should be about early afternoon tomorrow. Im busy right now.

Wait and see. Do enter round 3 please. There will be only 4 rounds.

The next round is the biggy. Do your best.

The next 'Ultimate Art Comp' date will be announced when this one's over.

Hey rubypoke, will there be animations in the third round?

Before you even suggest animations, do bear in mind that not eveyrbody has animation programs. Anyway I think the four categories are good enough.

Well, it was planning to start today and last until around the 5th of August.

Arent you here today? It opens in around 5 hours if I can get the 2nd rounds results done.
Ok, i'll have some fun with you lot for GQ's sake.

There will be 4 rounds!
Goldenquagsire: When entering your 4th round entry, enter your *late third round entry. Does that make sense.

*- I will allow Goldenquagsire to be late as he is on holiday.


No. Because, if I did do animations, it wouldnt be simple things like, 'Stop Rapidash's foot and nod it's head.' Etc. It'd be harder. And I dont want more time used up by rating them frame by frame movement etc. Sorry. But you can do other things. Its easy.


Indeed. ^_^

Round 2 results will be edited into this page today. Check back in 5-6 hours for the results and round 3.

Thank you.

Lol, hope you have fun on your trip, GC. Now that you say this though, Ruby, I will not be able to post in the 4th round, depending when it is. I will be taking a trip to Colorado (sp) from the 11th of August to the 23rd of August. Between those two points, I will not have internet access, and will not be able to get on. Do you know of what I shall do?
(I do not know why I am writing like a moderator* today... I guess I'm tired.)
*-Writing like a Moderator=sounding official.

Charzardrake, the 4th round should start on the 7th of August if you're lucky.

Results are all done. I hope you're happy. I've been kinda critical. But meh, I have to. I've spent so much time thinking about the little -.x's. The points somethings.

Also: If you edited your image and I rated the first one, please tell me.

Drawings:
Charly-
Expression/Pose: 7.3/10. I like it, except there's no extra expression, like the angry anime marks they get on their heads, or the sweat drop, or the mushroom thing. Ah well.
Colour: 6.3/10. It's a real shame thats its all the same colour, used around the same strength. Lightly colour the bits where it's meant to be against the light and then strongly colour bits which are away from light, this gives is effect and loads of points.

Overall - 6.8/10

CroconawConor-
Expression/Pose: 7.5/10. Good anger mark. Looking casually tired, the tusks arent the same, im being critical . Swinub looks a bit tired, but it's good work.
Colour: 7/10. There are different tones/shades in there, looking a bit messy and all scribbled on though. but at least its there. If it was neater and showing the shades more, it'd be great.

Overall - 7.2/10

Loco_Ludicolo-
Expression/Pose: 8.8/10. When I first saw it, I thought, Wow, cartoony, love it. Piloswine is snorting out, that's great, nobody else did that I think, eyebrows are pointing down and there's an anger mark. It's all there, and you got Swinub thinking of a smiley face. Awsome.
Colour: 8.6/10 If this was computer coloured, you would have just completely wiped the floor here. What most people have done is coloured Swinub the same kind of shade as Piloswine... Even though the sprites are the same colour, it looks awkward ish in pictures. Oh well, nevermind, what I love is the fact that you shaded the steam from his nose. Love it. And his tusks arent white! Woo. Shame its all the colour on the body.

Overall - 8.7/10

Star-
Expression/Pose: 9/10 What a picture. Awsome. The eyes are angry, the anger mark is there, the mushroomy signs are there, Swinubs having a laugh looking like he's won the pok

Hmm, it seems that I need to get some new fonts.... hey, what could you expect from a 14 year old kid that knows hardley anything about making sigs? (I'm talking about myself.) Oh well, thanks ruby. Can't wait until round 3? Or 4?

Damn, I always seem to post my drawing first and then not look back until it's too late

Hey, what could you expect from a 13 year old that hates rating things. Lol, many of you are around that age I think.


Thats something im thinking about now. The Smeargles will go to overall best pieces of work. Then other good pieces of art will get special awards ive already made. Im still thinking about other stuff.

Continued rating:

Kryten2x4b-
Fusion Detail: 8.9/10. I like this sprite, has character, interesting use of Articuno's beak there. Interesting sprite, quite like others, but it has its own little special thing. But Regice's arms are too high imho.
Recolour: 9/10. Fantastico, the hair is a grey colour which I like a lot, the main blue you chose is a great shade, I love it. Best recolouring. No bad colouring.

Overall - 9/10

Rapidash-
Fusion Detail: 8.8/10. Nicely done. Also I see Regice's feet. Articuno's wings are better than Regice's arms. Not anything else to say.
Recolour: 7.8/10. The hair's colour kinda doesnt go with the rest of the body. It's an alright recolour, somethings cheesy about it. But nevermind. Im not sure about the shade change, either to plain or too weird. Ah well.

Overall - 8.2/10

sledgehammerhyena-
Fusion Detail: 8/10. I think the wings should be the other way round personally, might help it. Nevermind. It's a basic fusion, big Jynx base with Regice arms and Articuno wings. Neat and nice.
Recolour: 8.3/10. The hair is too blue and the dress is too white. thats getting straight to the point. But it's alright. No bad shades chosen that clash at all. So I guess nothings wrong there.

Overall - 8.1/10

Fusion/Recolour rankings:
1. Kryten2x4b: Rounded to 9 points.
2. Rapidash: Rounded to 8 points.
3. Sledgehammerhyena: Rounded to 8 points.
4. Goldenquagsire: Rounded to 8 points.
5. gloommaster: Rounded to 8 points.
6. DragonDaithi: Unluckily rounded to 7 points.

Scratch Spriting! Spriting without the help of pokemon sprites!
Flarey with her Suicune pre=evo, Laicune-
Scratch Detail: 9/10. It's getting that high a mark because of it's pose. The pose is nice, the turned head is nice, the tail is excellent. It went down a mark because the outline is patchy and one ear overlaps the head. The one to the right.
Shading: 8.5/10. Simple, sweet, lovely. Apart from the outlines, im happy to say that I really like this sprite. The shades are good, the blues good, the purples good. Good amount of checkerboarding there too. Just the outline bugs me randomly. Either stay with dark colours for an outline, or light colours.

Overall - 8.8/10

tessa7338-
Fusion Detail: 8.2/10 It's kinda 2D to be critical. I'll go more into that with shading. The whole outline is good, the pose, how it's set out, lovely pose, good intentions, but you couldnt just get it right, something wrong, it's square-like maybe. The eye is just one dot. Thats not enough. But for effort im giving 8.2/10.
Shading: 8.2/10 Good checkerboarding going on, maybe a bit more? Maybe a bit more shading on the head's white. Maybe a bit more shading everywhere to get it more rounded, more 3Dish. Also, make the outline not black, make it a softer colour, gives a nice effect.

Overall - 8.2/10

Kryten-
Allover: 7.3/10. Im giving it an allover as it's very small and annoying imho. The legs look like dangly ropes. It looks like a dead, shruken down Suicune. An icon. Maybe even a Chao? Or whatever. Mainly a small Suicune.

Overall - 7.3/10

Scratch Sprite rankings:
1. Flarey: Rounded to 9 points.
2. tessa7338: Rounded to 8 points.
3. Kryten: Rounded to 7 points.
