Basil Art Battle ROUND ONE
[header]Welcome to Basil's Art Battle![/header]
Welcome! This is an artist tournament between Basilers, with each round being a different category, whether it be Maple Story related, scenery, food, etc. You go in a battle between 4 Basilers, and 2 winners will be decided with a combination of Basiler votes and our amazing judges to go into the next round. Then a new group of 4 is formed for the next round until there are only two remaining to go face to face.
In this thread I will be announcing the first category, our judging criteria, and who is going against who. :o Unfortunately [b]sign-ups are now closed[/b] so please do not ask if you can join in.
[header]RULES[/header]
- There will be 3/4 Basilers per round, with 2 going onto the next level.
- Submissions will be PMed to me after uploading it to an image hosting site such as [url=http://photobucket.com/]Photobucket[/url], [url=http://imageshack.us/]imageshack[/url] or [url=http://tinypic.com/]tinypic[/url].
- No tracing. References must be posted, although eyeballing is discouraged. "A reference of a bird for its feathers or a hand for a specific pose seems alright, but copying down an entire landscape for instance should not be okay." (Thanks @SpiralStaircase and @jimmyjxia )
- If it happens to be Maple Story related, do not submit it to the screens until voting has finished.
- No asking for votes - This will lead to immediate disqualification.
- Each round will take a week. If you do not post your entry, then you will be automatically knocked out.
- Please do not put signatures on your images! The voting will be done anonymously, so I'd appreciate it if you guys didn't put a signature on, as I will edit it out either way. If you feel the need to watermark it, please write Basil Art Battle on it.

[header]The judges[/header]
The amazingly wonderfully awesomely talented sexy judges include myself, @Boullion, @kewleh, @RKyais (I think? XD) and @twinklefish. We will be judging the art and discuss who will be going onto the next round, discussing and rating different areas such as creativity, colours, composition, etc, depending on the category. Our opinion will only count for half of the vote though! The other half with depend on Basiler votes. [b]If we feel that Basilers are voting unfairly though (such as voting for obvious troll options) we will override the public vote if appropriate.[/b]

PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR PENS AND PENCILS, TIME IS OVERRRRR!
@Naritta and @cookie4mesos: You've told me that your entries are gonna be a bit late, so you have about another 30 mins until I'm finished with everything. I'll leave your entries last, but please hurry up!
Voting will be opening in about 30 minutes. Good luck everyone, and thanks for all the entries!
lol Barely made it, I don't stand a chance T^T
@suama: Alrightie, give me a minute to upload it to imageshack and I'll PM you.
@Naritta and @cookie4mesos: That's fine, just send it as soon as you can.
@suama: I'm going to be a few minutes late, but I've got the drawing itself done. Just have to color and junk.
I wont have time to finish my drawing. Should I just submit the unfinished product?
2 out of the 3 people are going to advance?
@Pollood gogoogogo! I don't want this to just be an automatic advance. I've been waiting all week for the judging process
Wow now that I come back to this thread I realize that I only put like 20 minutes into mine...
Looks like I'm not getting far.
But the reason I came to participate in this battle was for the fun, anyway.
[quote=SpiralStaircase]Today is voting and judging OTL. I may not make it and if I don't, good luck to all the people who do! How many days does voting and all that take until the next round btw? Just wondering.[/quote]
Think I'm gonna give it two days or so, depending on how lazy the judges are. :x
[b]TWO HOURS REMAINING![/b] You'd better hurry your asses up
@eatboxman @Suryoyo @Classicfan @vato4lif @Tamgorine @Naritta @cookie4mesos @SlashSignature @EnjoyTheSun @KrackleQuartz @Memorikissu @motionblurr @Tsunami95603 @CannedHeat @Crisster @SuperJuls @Xgo321 @mochaalatte @Ridebo99 @CoraKora @hoboking @omgitzalux @Ivr20252 @pollood

[quote=MrKratos]@suama:
I'm not near a pencil or paper. :V
I say extend it another 24 hours. -Nods-[/quote]
I dont think this is fair seeing as I, and im pretty sure others, have rushed theirs just to get it in. I could of worked more on it today but I have work so I had to hand mine in last night. If I had another 24 hours to work on it I would love that, But it just isnt fair on everyone else.
@MrKratos: We've already had like 7 days... XD Just submit anything, there's a chance you might be able to go through to the next round still.
@suama:

I'm working on mine! o.o
It's almost done
[quote=MechaDurian]I dont have time to submit anything, due to AP bridge programs this week and last week, but I'll submit submit to see if I can win by defult if that's ok with you. After this week, I'm free o.o[/quote]
Yeah, I'd definitely try to submit at least something, since there might be a chance you could win by default.
ONLY 10 HOURS LEFTTTTTT! And so many people who need to enter still! I'm looking at you,
@tianyin @eatboxman @Suryoyo @Classicfan @vato4lif @Tamgorine @Naritta @cookie4mesos @SlashSignature @EnjoyTheSun @Loupest @KrackleQuartz @Memorikissu @motionblurr @Tsunami95603 @MrKratos @CannedHeat @Crisster @SuperJuls @Xgo321 @mochaalatte @Ridebo99 @stargirl705 @FreezYa @CoraKora @hoboking @omgitzalux @Ivr20252 @MechaDurian @pollood (If I have pinged you when you have sent me your entry, apologies T_T Please resend it again.)
10 hours! I may let it slide if you're a few mins late... But remember 12pm Basil Time TODAY
XD I want to see the pretty pictures of grendal!
F5 I might not make it!
I knew putting this off to the last minute was a bad idea o.o
Srry for delay i was very busy this week XwX
[quote=suama]19 hours I think.[/quote]
Crap! ill have to finish it now! >,< Ill be at work in like 12 hours ><.
[quote=SonGokuFood]Dumb question.. How many hours left till our submissions have to be handed in?[/quote]
19 hours I think.
Dumb question.. How many hours left till our submissions have to be handed in?
@twinklefish: Probably worded that wrong... it's done but not to a satisfactory level so I've been touching it up each day. :X
If any more people are considering dropping out, please tell us ASAP so the contest can go smoothly for the remaining rounds. Thank you. :`] It's understandable, school is starting up for most of you lot, lol.
[quote=BassChan]@CyanLime: Untrue. If you are the only one to submit, you win by default, instead of losing by default. I know I'm not submitting mine until tomorrow anyway, even though it's been done for some time.[/quote]
The deadline is tomorrow but if you're finished we would appreciate it if you send it in as soon as possible to make organization easier. Dealing with a consistent trickle of entries is much easier than a huge dump of submissions in one day, especially because it is only Suama that uploads the entries on the judging forum. :`[
arg, I'm not sure if i can finish mine, sooo busy! i'll have to see....
I am freaking rushing like mad on this now! T_T
@CyanLime: Untrue. If you are the only one to submit, you win by default, instead of losing by default. I know I'm not submitting mine until tomorrow anyway, even though it's been done for some time.
So from what I've seen in the comments, one of the people I'm up against dropped out, and the other hasn't sent in their pic with 1 day left...
My efforts were for nothing. </3
I have one day
it's sad to keep seeing basilers drop out of the battle : /
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh...!
I'm pretty much done with mine but it's going really slowly. I keep... thinking!
omgomg i can't wait to see all the submissions! ahhh how exciting.
i'm so glad i'm not participating in this...
@suama: Too much procrastination. The lineart's done, but very poorly.. Stupid block. ;_;
@suama: Thanks for the reminder !
@suama: omg! IM NEARLY DONE! IM NOT GOING TO RUSH!.. thanks for the warning =3.
FFFFFFFFFF--
That is all.
[b]Only two days left people! TWO DAYS![/b] That means you,
@SonGokuFood @Jovial @tianyin @Crescere @eatboxman @pinksinsftw @Suryoyo @Classicfan @SmackBabies @vato4lif @CuteIdiot @Tamgorine @critesque @Naritta @cookie4mesos @SlashSignature @EnjoyTheSun @Loupest @RoseliaI @KrackleQuartz @Memorikissu @Zigen @Khris31 @xEuryIncarnatex @motionblurr @Tsunami95603 @MrKratos @GenuineLaughter @CannedHeat @Crisster @SuperJuls @Xgo321 @mochaalatte @Ridebo99 @BassChan @stargirl705 @FreezYa @xKirsten @dollface @CoraKora @hoboking @omgitzalux @Ivr20252 @MechaDurian @Lambdadelta @poosaur @pollood !

[quote=Emenia]I might have to drop out too... I have really bad repetitive strain injury at the moment and can barely even hold my tablet pen e_e;[/quote]
Noooo! T___T Finger paint or something instead! You'd get full marks for creativity. :o
And also, I have a very special announcement to make! In addition to our already amazing prizes, thanks to the awesomely generous @xEuryIncarnatex it will also feature:
- 1st prize: Either a choice between 10k NX or a $10 gift card for Amazon!

Yay for awesome Basilers!
And not only that, I will also re-create the 1st to 4th winners' faces on sugar cookies! Sounds random as hell, I know, but I'm trying to improve my decorating techniques. :x Will also send it in the post if any of the winners are in the UK. Only 3 days left guys, so get your entries in soon.
I might have to drop out too... I have really bad repetitive strain injury at the moment and can barely even hold my tablet pen e_e;
