Release id #247799 : Bowhunter
"I can honestly say that all these pixels has been carefully selected" - Why say this when it obviously looks like it's not the case? |

Well, if this release and subsequent comment from the author were an art performance, a social commentary, it worked. |

No, it didn't, was just plain lame. Would not expect that from Censor Design. :( |

Not funny enough for a compo I guess - graphicians seem so overworked all day. You hardly get 2-3 manually placed pixels from them when asking anyhow. |

forum compo then?
I took the creative approach by not highlighting the 2 most eye-catching features of the oregano, but rather focus on the deeper meaning behind a more important part. |

Forum compo is fine, since votes are going to be manipulated anyway :P |

I think graphics compos work more or less this way.

If I wanted to go literal, I'd say demoscene graphics compos work exactly the opposite from the linked picture. Number of hours is the most significant, sometimes the only measure. The amount of hysterically weaved pixels is what usually counts. "Moar is better". Even AI / wired gfx sometimes get good grades, not because of their artistic value (they certainly can have that, it's just that I've never seen it) but because some people don't recognize them as AI/converts and think hours had been invested. |

@4gentE: yes, I should have elaborated. The thing I wanted to highlight by posting that image was the 'winner was chosen through likes' part, rather than the actual pics shown. :) |

These kind of things shouldn't always be punished/rewarded with a compo...
The results of the Compopic tribute compo a few years back were fun and productive though. (Compopic Competition)
I'd welcome a feelgood end-of-year gfx compo, but maybe not joke conversion/AI stuff. |

there ara many different ways to have fun. Then, what is fun for one, might be percieved quite differently by others.
Many of us, me included, are overreacting to the issue here. I blame orgaz, for not disqualifying the picture after it was obvius it is a copy, which is against their own rules stated on the party page. |
