Well, I drew this for a cover contest for my school. The contest was today and I falied miserably. I got second place and man was I ever upset. Not like anyone but me knew that but, yeah. (I'm not one to show emotion ) but mostly because I spent over 15 hours on this and the art I lost to wasn't even smoothed over. Oh well, it was fair game. Better luck next time.
Hope you guys like it! Some how I seem to amsue people on here at least. That's good for me.

 arkillianTotal Posts: 2904Apr 11, 2006 2:55 pmWhat was the first place like- It must have had some sort of character to it. I'd love to see a photo so I could try and see how it could be better than this somehow. It's a lovely picture --- |

My only thoughts is it could use more texture- like lines running down the tree trunk to look like bark, and nobly areas on the rocks so they aren't as perfect. Ask if you can take a photo of the winners photo and e-mail it to me if you could, k hon? I don't like to see someone put down cause they thought second place was not good enough. I reckon this deserves 1st, but maybe I could tell you why it was only second?![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_pdwings.gif)

 themusicdied (Reply)Total Posts: 967Apr 11, 2006 7:11 pmIt did. I know why it won but I could probably take a picture also. It was cover art for the school yearbook. What my friend did who won was took pieces of the school slogan and made a drawing of different elements of it. I reallt probably shouldn't have gotten upset about it because it really is going to make a WAY better cover then my art ever would have. It actually looks like a cover for a school, not a landscape that should be packed away in a desk. --- It's only those who have no idea what they're doing that are quick to demand they know what they're doing better then you. - themusicdied |

 QcvarTotal Posts: 19Apr 11, 2006 3:58 pmI find that art isn't a competition, and I would never enter an art competition, but I can see how you could see so otherwise. I do recommend that you take these things with a grain of salt, as art can be a very subjective thing. Even if someone states that they believe x, y, and z elements of something is objectively worse or better, I find that one is still comparing things that are made from the realms of the imagination and can be akin to picking favorite colors. |

 thedemonsessTotal Posts: 530Apr 12, 2006 12:32 pmArt shouldn't be based on competition because everyone has their unique way of drawing (or painting, or whatever). This is beautifully done, hun. I was never fond of art contests. To me, everyone's a winner! This is because everyone puts so much effort in their work, and they all deserve credit for that. Guaranteed. --- |
