"Do not state your opinion because it goes against another persons opinion."
I wish all the preachers would stop the whining. People were simply stating their opinion...
I admire all of the submitted pieces, I just hope the same style and it's 5 recolors don't take up most of the winning slots. I'd really love to see a variety of items, or limited item types, win. There's so many awesome submissions that deserve to win over recolors!
Just don't vote for recolours if they annoy you wow ._. I do think there should be a prize restriction of some sort on them though, not sure if getting awarded 4000 csc and 100mil for 2 recolours is okay. But they're there because they are of acceptable CW quality and other entries weren't for some reason so stop moaning.
These entries were very artistic. They were all good. SOme of them were not to my taste, but the art was still excellent. Though I know that these were not close to being ALL the entries.
So hard to choose my votes - I guess wanting one of each isn't very competitive! XD
Thank you artists, for being inspiring!
10 votes exactly. I was worried I'd want to go over. Some of the attitude in this thread is.... remarkable, a bad sort. Between people thinking others should have ESP and people thinking suggestions and rules are the same thing, it's just.. bad. Some really great items in there, some other ones not so much. I do beg that if the bunny and the eyeball snow globe don't become a thing on site... can we just have the item art at the very least? I'm in love with those as TC items somewhere.... anywhere... everywhere.
in case anyone is curious about the path and why it wasnt necessary to show through the legs... http://oi61.tinypic.com/2n7lg5i.jpg U__U;
ooh that withering roses thing is beautiful i like
i drew out the path of the tail before i lined it and for its thickness and the path it took, it did not need come out from between the legs. any bit that wouldve showed was literally 2 pixels and ended up just looking weird, so i omitted it?
i'm sorry but its kind of rude to point that out? now that someone said they cant "unsee it" when it was a conscious decision on my part to omit it for aesthetic reasons
nope no submit button because you're allowed to change your mind up until the 23rd. ;P And if you do just press the toggle again you can unvote for it. If it's green you voted for it if it's white you didn't vote on it. :)
So, I "toggled" my votes - is that it? There was no submit button or anything.
Kashmir, I have no idea how to vote either. It only gives me the compare option.
Some really fantastic eyes in there, very excited about them.
And am I right in thinking the Not Quite Dead Locks are a Solas reference? Love it!
The recolors didn't bump anything else out, if anything it just cuts the submitters chances of actually winning because everyone picks a different one (I don't think any recolored item won last time, did it?).
EVEN IF THAT WAS THE CASE, EVERYONE COULD SUBMIT THREE THINGS? So just because user A submitted 3 recolors and user B submitted 1 recolor doesn't mean user A cheated or something just because user B only submitted one thing? I only submitted one color of one thing and I ain't mad that other people submitted 3 recolors? Like, if they want to hurt their chances so be it :P I just picked one of the most common colors and ran with it |D
If you source the item, the first number is the user's ID... it's not exactly hard to figure out who the hell drew anything so there's no reason users shouldn't be able to voice what they drew. If someone is going to be popular, it's going to be popular-- remember just because some people have big ping groups doesn't mean they can even fill a first batch of their CWs.
i hate having to pick, i wish we cpuld just have them all
I honestly couldn't even vote for 10. I barely got over 5 votes.
Ohmannn I need all the creepy face items. I really wish it was ten items from the den, and ten from louis. Or even more in the end ;D So many are amazing. I just want more gross than cute, so it better be a bit of both!
Also I dont understand why people are thinking 'oh these recolours bumped other designs out'. Who ever said that was the case? They didnt say only so many entries would be in the final voting. If its like peka, it was just all that fit the criteria and site standars. If anything having two colours is worse for said artist as it means their items could get 200 votes total, but split 110/90 and that might not be enough for it to be in the top. While if it was just one colour with the 200 they might win. So I dont see why people are complaining about it or worried. Especially when mods have said it made no diff.
Silly silly subeta people. I you dislike that a item had recolours, dont vote for it. Simple as that ;D
The only real complaint I have about this competition is that I don't believe submitters should be allowed to say what they submitted. It leaves the possibility of it turning into a "user popularity" contest instead of an "entry popularity" contest.
Dumb question...once we select our 10 and leave the page does that "finalize it?"
Also I was doing a "compare" of all my votes, one of them is showing up twice...can we get that fixed so it doesn't look like I'm trying to vote for more?
Sooo many eyes. XD
I have to say that I based my votes mainly on the item icons now, would be great to add some to treasure chests.
Good luck, everyone you all did an awesome job!
Beaded Heart Pinned Love Locks I want this in green and blonde :D Awesome job!
As far as I know, is right. No recolors knocked any items off the voting list, because the voting list is supposed to include everything that was fine according to CW standards! If it isn't there, there was unfortunately some issue. That could have been the art, or the item icon/name not relating well to the overlay, etc.
That's also why they didn't tell us in advance how many winners (or votes!) we would get -- because they didn't know how many entries there would be c:
As I see it, the advice "against" recolors is there so people know upon submission that they're splitting the design's votes between the colors. Maybe, in the future, we could get 2 recolors (total 3) of a winning item, provided we sent in the recolored files 24-48h after the win, or something like that? But I can definitely understand if it would be too much extra work, so it is what it is.
There will always be eyes and lips everywhere because it's literally our only chance to try those. c:
WHO. WHO DID THE BUNNY. asdfjkl; IT'S AMAZING <3<3
Okay it's a gorgeous submission but am I the only one who sees the boob on the male preview of the Cloth Wrapped Romantic Delicacy?! o.O
I don't know why ppl are hating on the recolours. I don't think there was ever a limit to the number of entries that would make it to the voting stage; it seems that the staff just picked ALL the ones that are up to the CW submission standard out of all the entries, so it's not like a unique design didn't make it because of a recolour (if the design didn't make it, it was because it wasn't up to the CW standard).
And like Dannica said, I think the "advice" on the submission page is there to help you, because recolours tend to split the vote if the design passed the quality check (unless the design is really really really popular, which probably won't be the case), or end up wasting your slots if there's an issue with the item (and thus usually all the recolours).
I am kind of curious if you'd be allowed to submit recolours as CWs if a design made it though (I guess that doesn't apply in this case 'cause the recolours are all face items)
And yes there's lots of face items, because they're not allowed to be submitted on-site normally. If that restriction is ever removed one day, then I think it would balance out a lot more.
Quite a few nice items. Seems like there were way too many eye items? I would have liked to see more background/foreground/ground items, and just clothes in general. Super excited to see what items win! This is such a fun activity and I hope you guys keep doing these in the future.
Oh and I hope staff tallies the votes by adding up all the recolor votes for each item. It would suck to see recolored items be punished. :c
Even if recolors didn't "bump" anyone out of the competition, staff should have chosen just one of the recolors to showcase so as not to split the vote. And hey, if that item won, SURPRISE! We'd get all the recolors on site. Couldn't that have been a thing? It's a win-win for us voters because we'd automatically get recolors of said winning design (I mean we liked it enough for it to win so...) and a win for the artist because the votes wouldn't be split. I think next time (if there is a next time) the contest information about recolors should be altered: feel free to submit recolors of the same item, but note staff will only pick one if your item is chosen, BUT if your item wins, all the recolors get on site. Then it's really just a question of what the prizes would be. One prize for one item, not each recolor.
ALSO, WHO DID THE GROOMING KIT. If it doesn't make it (begging for it to make it pleasepleaseplease), myself and Adam are very, VERY interested in it.
I submitted two items that I had put through for Peka-Boo. The Sanguine Lip Stain, which is more fitting for this than the Peka-Boo one. And I revamped + drew a new CI for my eyes I had submitted, so they are "the same" but also different. The reason why I resubmitted them is because I like them, I like how they turned out, and I would love to see them on site. Not to mention, hey, they could make it this time ? Like that adorable as Hell smile that was in there for Peka-Boo, it could have been close to winning but didn't, and this time it could win. You never know. Why be disappointed ? Awesome items are awesome, you don't have to vote on them personally (I mean, vote for my items because I say so... No, no I would never).
All 10 votes are in on my behalf. Best of luck to those who are holding their breath awaiting the final word. :)
Ahh! I can't un-see it! cries It's like once the glass is shattered, you can't undo it.
Hopefully if the tail is a winner they are given the chance to fix it up.
Either the creator or staff artists.
Until you mentioned that I honestly didn't even notice it. I think it might be missing a bit of tail from between the legs to make it look like it's coming from behind.
hopefully the cw artist sees this, and is given the opportunity to rectify this!
i don't mean to be an ass, but...
Sickeningly Sweet Rose Concoction....
it just sortof appears. like. the tail isn't fully connected to the HA. it's like it comes out of the HA's leg.
um..
I really like some of the entries! I thought it was a little weird that there was some of the same item just in a different color. Those spots could have been used for other items that were entered..
.... but if an item's poorly drawn, it's not going to win anyway. :/
I would have voted for a couple of the wigs if they had been another color other than pink. But I realize that's the contest rules, for sweetheart stuff. Would like to see them released in other colors.
There are so many neat items here! Also, candy gram anyone? There are no sharks trying to trick you, honest.
Man, I hate to sound selfish, but I hope my picks win! :P Awesome job to all the artist who entered the competition, you guys made some great stuff!
Why shouldn't we resubmit things? It's not like eyes or lips can be used as a cw....some of us actually paid for a mouth or eye commission. And just as an fyi some of the items that were resubmitted actually got a revamp and/or a new CI.
Not many hairs this time. Good luck to the people that entered though. Really want to buy some of the ones I voted for! Good Luck!
I really want to make this as a suggestion, to make things fair for people who can't draw, or entered with a good idea but had a hard time drawing for an HA item the first time. PLEASE make contests so that EVERY item gets a chance, and if an item is poorly drawn but wins, it gets redrawn by a staff artist to meet site criteria and consistency! This would make the HA contests truly fair.
i'm really disappointed that someone just re-used their peeka-boo entries. like...really? reeeeallly? but apart from that i'm really excited for these. c: i really, really want some of those facial features available-- and I STRONGLY encourage those who submitted wearable items to slot for them as CWs if they don't make it through voting, and not to be discouraged! facial features STRONGLY steal the spotlight in a contest such as this, because we aren't able to submit them otherwise, so imo it's a bit of a skewed vote. staff'll probably pick between FACE-STUFF and CLOTHES-STUFF like they did with peeka-boo, tho! anyway now im rambling. GRATZ GUISE
to the people who entered: we're not putting any blame on u. we r just criticizing the staffs' decisions in this contest.
future contest suggestion: every entry is a different item. users vote for item. if that item that won was submitted with multiple recolors, then have the users vote again for the color they want that item to be.
Unfortunately, my computer had a poorly timed virus that evidently deleted over half of my Windows. By the time my older son, who works on computers, finally got it back up and running today, voting was, unfortunately, already long over, so I wasn't on to campaign for my shark, drawn by the talented Olympia. :) But HUGE thanks to everyone who either voted for, liked, or laughed at it! :)
