General

Sorry, I'll deal with this once I wake up, it's been a busy day. I've received 15 entries, so I'm just gonna let everyone through to the next round. Again, I'm sorry this hasn't been much of a competition. In the next post I will display everyone's entries and announce the next category.

Can we please close this thread? It's tuesday tuesdday gettin down on... just doesn't have the same ring as monday... wednesday is even worse.

omg my account was deleted so make sure you tag @TheZigen: instead of zigen from now on D:

I hope you guys still have my submission >_>

this is the end of my journey .,.,.,.,TwT

agh! D: come on guys!
lets make this competition actually occur

@MrKratos: Submit anything. I'm pretty sure everyone'll be going through to the next round anyway, still haven't gotten many entries...

@suama:
Eh.. I would love to submit mine, but I've been going emo everytime I draw. I feel like I'm getting worse with each drawing. :X

I've just gotten home from work and I've gotta cook, eat, watch this program and chill out for a bit, so I'll sort this out in a few hours. If you haven't sent in submissions, feel free to submit it until I close the thread. I might just go ahead with the competition regardless of the amount of entries I get and hold another one year or something. If there's less than 14 entries, then all submissions will automatically go through to the next round. I'm sorry this hasn't been much of a competition so far.

Deadline.

Already submitted mine, but okey...

Thanksgiving Break is an ideal date for me. Either that or Christmas Break.

Whee, done with the drawing itself. I didn't execute it very well. The perspective isn't very dynamic. Now to try and abuse shadows to make it look more perspective-y.

As for a suggested month, I'll procrastinate just as much any time of the year.

Dw people against me, my perspective stinks~

I don't wanna be delayed another week, rawr~

come on everyone! send in your submissions!
i want to see the entries/polls!

Only 24 hours left everyone. btw, if I haven't responded to your PMs with your entries in, I have seen them but it's just that I haven't organised myself yet. (I have a system to make sure I get everything right. :x) Depending on how many entries I get, we will decide if the competition will go through or not. Could people reply with what months would be better to go ahead with the tournament please? Just in case it does have to be rearranged. Thanks.

[quote=jimmyjxia]I doubt that either of you two will get knocked out for a weak/possible misinterpretation of perspective. I think composition would be the most important followed by color, creativity, values, etc. The perspective, I would hope, would only serve as a requirement to be placed into this round. If you have any doubts, just check with twinklefish.[/quote]

I had sent the WIP some time last week to her, but I fear that because of the extended deadline, the "just barely meets the requirements" part will really hurt me. Oh well, I'll just send what I have now, since I need to be packed up before school starts. <_<'

[quote=suama]There's only 24 hours left, but seeing as I've only had 5 submissions still, I'm gonna extend the deadline for another week. This means your art will not have to be submitted until the [b]12th of September.[/b] If you have already submitted your art, please feel free to submit edited (or even new) work to me, but please note that the last submission sent will be counted as your final entry.

[i]If[/i] worst case scenario, I still don't get many entries, I will delay the tournament for a few weeks/months, depending on when Basilers think they'll have more time on their hands. (I don't go to school anymore so I have no idea when will be the most busy for everyone) This will mean the tournament will start from Round 2 again, but it will have to be a new category, as it will be unfair if people carry on working on their art for the duration it was delayed. I think if I have less than 22-25 entries, I will delay the tournament.

Thanks for your understanding guys. I'm sorry for choosing such a naff time to do all of this. :x If anyone who has entered doesn't visit Basil that much but would still like reminders, please feel free to send me your email address and I'll try to send important reminders if you need them.

So remember! Monday 25th of September at 12pm Basil Time.

Don't mind me, just pinging everyone to piss you off. btw, 3 days left.

[quote=cookie4mesos]@suama: Wait, wait, what's a dynamic perspective?
The outline of mine is basically like the [url=http://www.watercolorpainting.com/perspective/perspectiveart3.jpg]left[/url], would that be okay? I mean, it's kinda crappy so you might not actually be able to see the perspective easily, but that's what I'm trying to do.

Edit: Haha, forgot the link.[/quote]
Not gonna lie, I don't actually know what "dynamic perspective" is, so it's probably best to ask @twinklefish :x But I'm very sure that 3-point perspective will be fine.

3-point perspective, like in your link, should work. The theme was tough to interpret, and in the beginning it just said "uses perspective" rather than "dynamic perspective," so some entries may not meet those requirements. I had interpreted "perspective" as it was, and used atmospheric perspective. I'll probably get knocked out this round for that misinterpretation though, haha...

can't wait to see entries by everyone, this one's a tough theme imo
i would so fail at this....

Hmm... with the extended deadline... I should probably just make a new one I guess? Since I was told my last one just barely met the requirements (I had started working and made a lot of progress before "perspective" was changed to "dynamic perspective&quot.

@xEuryIncarnatex: Sorry, typo. As I mentioned it was gonna be delayed by a week (And with all the other notices around saying 12th), I meant the 12th.

So 6 days left everyone.

I guess I have enough time to edit my submission AGAIN. Although this will be the 5th time.

[quote=BassChan]Were you almost done? I really can't wait to see your entry. :O[/quote]

I pretty much have the whole thing slapped down, but with the extra time I can definitely fine tune the picture--Thanks, I can't wait to see yours too!

[quote=GenuineLaughter]Oh yay, a new deadline. You're a real life saver, suama![/quote]

Were you almost done? I really can't wait to see your entry. :O

Oh yay, a new deadline. You're a real life saver, suama!

ahhh >_< i finished last night, i was just stuck between picking from one of two versions
i wanted to see all the submissions on monday but oh well, this is probably for the best!
i'll send mine as soon as i decide x0x

@suama: thnx now i can finished (and start) mine =3

A new deadline? Dammit i was guna forfeit too much homework

There's only 24 hours left, but seeing as I've only had 5 submissions still, I'm gonna extend the deadline for another week.

I have to pull out due to a family emergency. I was [i]not[/i] expecting a surprise visit from my mother whom I had not seen in over a year.

[quote=suama]Wish people would've said in the first round if they felt they were gonna drop out, people who wanted to go further could've gone through. :x I pretty much chose the worst time to organise this though, lol. Maybe next year I'll hold it just as school is finishing or something.[/quote]

Have to admit, we did choose a bad time. THANKS TO ALL THE CONTESTANTS FOR STICKING IT THROUGH SO FAR. ;_;

*phew* i just finished all my line drawings or whatever
time to get to coloring!
i hopefully will be done by tomorrow X-x... im excited to see everyone's submissions!

[quote=suama]Whaaat, there's just 3 days left and only 5 entries? Wth are you doing[/quote]Yes, art takes a lot of time and procrastination! :x
Uhm, I'm going to SacAnime tomorrow (err, today), but I should have it finished by Monday.

@MrKratos: you can't think of anything but you have 'amazing ideas'. That makes no sense at all ~_~

Honestly if you want to drop out then just drop out, I understand that a lot of people underestimated the stress of school/life and those things always come first. If you feel stumped now, how are you going to fare in future rounds? None of the judges are forcing you into this, and none of us want to see a contestant force him/herself to draw something out of obligation rather than enjoyment.

i have the idea but not the time XwX

this thread makes me really depressed.

congrats to the winners + losers.

Well if you have these amazing ideas just put them to paper or digital canvas/canvas/watercolorpaper/whatever tickles your peach

Hurricane completely wiped out my scanner and my watercolors :c
I got a phone that can take decent quality photos.
I'm going to Philly tomorrow, but I got an idea in my head. Will probably get to work on it sunday!

Create scene, put it underwater. Come on, you saw what I'm doing.

How about a guy struggling to release himself from an iron ball weighing him down into the depths of the ocean. To top it off, there shall be mermaids pushing the iron ball down as he struggles to pull himself up. MERMAIDS <3

Sorry I just thought of that off the top of my head.

@BassChan:
But, I can't think of anything bro.

[quote=MrKratos]@suama:

Don't you dare drop out. Pick something and go with it!

I got Darren Yeow to critique my unfinished submission... I know exactly how to push it now! *Squess*
(No one here will know who Darren is... )

@suama:
I can't think of anything. -Shrug-

haha sorry sauma ill get it sent in soon!
it was a busy school week, but now i've got the entire weekend to finish!

@suama: Exactly! I must ensure I continue to get through!
