I just entered a drawing in this one contest:
http://boredxxx.deviantart.com/journal/40257471/#commentsAnd right now they are deciding third place, and right now my entry is losing to other three entries with 0 votes. This wouldn't bother me all that much if I wasn't convinced the other contestants put NO effort into their entries.
I'm just going to flat out say it. No offense to anyone, but I think none of those deserve third place. I don't mind losing, but losing to people who probably put no work an effort into their drawing is incredibly frustrating. Which is why I'm trying to nominate FlamePick's Samurott remake is because I feel his entry ACTUALLY deserves a prize, because it's obvious he put work into his entry. Which is why I refuse to vote unless his entry is an option.
The first place winner, LuvzKittenz Serperior remake definately deserves 1st place, because anyone who makes Serperior look cool (I hate Serperior BTW) gets my vote. But I doubt any of you can say the second place entry has any business taking second place, considering that particular artist has much better drawings in his gallery. The other entries for 3rd place are pretty lousy, too.
Sorry if I sound rude, but how would you feel if you worked hard on a contest entry only to lose to people who scribbled on a canvas and entered a contest?
(Also: I know my entry is no masterpiece, but I still worked on my drawing, making sure all my lines were straight, trying to be as anatomically correct as possible, as well as add many new ideas that were not in the original.
And again, sorry for the rant. I don't mind losing, I'd just rather lose to someone who put time and work on an entry than someone who didn't.)
...I'll probably end up voting for Michu because that's the only one where I see at least SOME effort was made.
