Double Screen Compo Voting
Okay - all entries are in and it is time for voting.
Take your time and check the pictures properly. If you like to check it on a C64, I'd recommend to turn off the volume, because music tends to alter atmosphere. Now here come the rules:
---
CHOOSE 3 FAVORITES - NO MORE - NO LESS
SEND YOUR CHOICE VIA PM TO ENTHUSI OR ME
OR BY MAIL TO << COMPO[AT SPAMSUCKS]C64PIXELS[DOT]COM >>
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET YOUR HANDLE/GROUP OR NAME
---
Deadline for voting is June 7th 2011 (know it is a long term but c64pixels-visitors are watching random)
Good luck to all contestants !

Quote:I made the pic merely to challenge myself in the strange mode and after 12 years of not pixelling anything.
That's fine, but then the picture you made to challenge yourself somehow ended up in a graphics competition, and that's the part that some people obviously have a problem with. |

My primary idea about gfx-compos is that the artists make their own original pictures. He och she can of course use a lot of techniques and platforms to create the base for it, as long as the artist actually creates a unique picture. He and she can be inspired by various sources: be it Vallejo, Alien-movies, zombies, Marilyn Monroe, sci-fi, whatever, and also partly resemble original work by another artist, as long as the artist did not copy the whole idea, motif, composition and everything.
It may be interesting in another way how to make the best conversion of a already existing piece of art to the c64, but then it is wrong to put in in the same compo as original pieces of art on the c64. I don't say that it's easy doing great conversions, but a conversion or copy is another thing than doing a unique piece of art - therefore they cannot compete with eachother.
I do understand that some of the competitors did show their sources, and was open with it. That's good, but still a lot of voters will say "Now, that's awesome gfx!" and vote for a copy thinking it is original work. |

Celtic: Sure, I'll do a gif for you. And I don't mean to flame anyone really.
Celtic, I think you give yourself too little credit, I think you could come up with something great on your own if you give yourself the time. If you have 12-14 hours to spend on touching up a scan, you should have 12-14 hours to invest in something original too.
I know it's scary to do something on your own and no one wants to be ridiculed for the work they do. But hey, babysteps, you can do it. Go from touching up and colouring scans to copying pictures you like by hand. Yes, the copies won't be perfect then, but there will be more of *you* in them, and you will get better, and eventually you will move on to creating collages where you copy bits from different pictures and try to make them fit together nicely (again I mean copying *by hand* here) and hey, those pics will have even more of you in them, and one day you will find that you don't always need to copy, that you know now what works and what you can do.
It's like learning to ride a bike in a way. Pure converts is a bit like sitting in your dad's bicycle basket. Retouching a scan is more like riding a tricycle. Copying something by hand is like riding a bike with support wheels. So get off the tricycle and give that bike with support wheels a try. |

hehe celtic :) so you admired grass's or my pic the most? may i remind you of your comment for diggers picture?
Celtic:
"My personal favourite, even with the new entries by Yazoo and Twoflower (which are completely awesome aswell). This one just kicks ass. It is great to have Digger back, and even better his gfx are awesome! Well done sir!"
don't take it serious :) for me it is absolutely ok, you like another picture better. i just couldnt resist to quote, when i read your post ;-)
eventually i will add something to this discussion myself later on or tonight. this discussion is not too unimportant i think. |

well spotted sir! :) but admiring someone's handywork and having a favourite are two different things. I prefer Digger's pic indeed, based purely on the way it looks. However i admire yours and Grass's more then Digger's because of the handywork.
but in the end Diggers still is my fav :) |
