Can't promise delivery; have been dealing with quite a lot of health-based crap in the past few weeks. Kidney drain blocking up, running up a fever, trying to keep from getting sick right after chemo, trying to make it in the Medieval Market rehearsals without having to leave halfway through because of deteriorated physical condition. Just... a lot of shit recently, really.
 
I think I'm going to have to drop out....I really don't have the time right now to put as much effort into this piece as I want to. I still want to finish it for sure, but...it definately won't be done by the deadline. Sorry guys. :(

I'm not going to wuss out; I will, however, forget until the last minute and crayola the shit out of whatever comes to mind.
 
I'm pissed as all hell. Last weekend, I was working on mine on my iPad. I was almost done coloring it and the freakin' app crashed and the autosave didn't kick in, so I'm back to my rough pencils.... REASWEARAESDFASGDEASDGAFFEAERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

I'm in, but I've only drawn a rough sketch at this point. I think next time we should have a much shorter deadline.
 
I agree. Giving me a month and a half is making me feel like the sketchy-ass sketch I'll likely submit isn't as fancy and high-detail-rendered as it should be.
:(
 
Well, my drawing is still in the sucky stages lol. I'll probably only be finished the rough version by the deadline... but I'll sumbit it anyways (I blame being sick for nearly 3 weeks... and you can't draw when you have hand foot and mouth disease!)

That or I'll follow Juski's lead, steal my 3 year old's crayons and draw something awesome!
 
Well, I'll be gone at a conference for the rest of the week, so I'm just going to submit mine as the rough draft.

So how's everyone doing with this so far? Only four days to go till the deadline.

I can safely say I won't be finished... but I will still post what I have done at that point. I grossly underestimated how much time my idea would take and how rusty my drawing skills had become. I might have the rough uncoloured version done. We will see what the next few days bring.
 
For reference:

How we will judge! I will post an account that will be the judge, and we will all send PM's to that account ranking our 3 top choices for favorite drawing. First, second, and third place.

First place gets 3 points, Second gets 2 points, and third place gets 1. We will take the total number of points you've earned after all the votes, and the project with the most votes wins!

Dave will be in charge of the Judge account, and he will do the counting, as he is an impartial third party, and has no gain from messing with the votes (I think... :ninja: )

So the judge account will post in here next week, when voting opens up!

Guidelines on how you should decide a winner: 1) How creative was the piece? 2) Does the piece evoke any strong emotions from you (could be srs, could be lulz!) 3) Are there boobs in it?

Really, I don't think we need guidelines. Just try to vote honestly, don't make it a popularity contest. We know what we like, and sometimes it just stands out to you! Vote responsibly guys, it's not like we're just choosing a president or something.
 
If you're really worried about it turning into a popularity contest, how about having all entries sent to the judge account, who posts them anonymously? May not make much of a difference, but it's just a thought.

Nope. (Though most of us know each other's styles by now).

Dave, there's a crisp George Washington in it for you if you slip a few votes my way.
 
Yeah frankly I think it'll be pretty clear.

Also, don't be tacky and vote for yourself. No one likes that guy.
