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 !

STE: Oh really? Are you of the opinion that the motif does not matter at all when judging a picture's qualities then?
And furthermore, If I was insecure about any of this, I strongly suspect I would be staying far away from this discussion. |

This was a rather modest discussion with lots of content untill some people thought it was wise to come up with all sorts of details, comparisons and personal issues... :-(

Not at all, I personally despise wires and "pseudo wires" that you know really are but the artist won't admit it.
and i do SO love to see these "outed"
I do however think that anything thats been done by hand in any method is "fair game" for a competition as long as all is declared and workstages provided if required.
and its not up the competing artists or potential competing artists to decide what is "art"
as i have said, provide all information, let the voters decide what they like...
and ban any lying bugger who is found out later from future events :) along with removing their entry wins from csdb.

Well, I disagree with you there (surprise surprise!), a major part of a picture is the motif and entering a graphics competition (unless it is a competition designed to find out who is the best copyer) with a copy of someone else's motif is lame. That is my opinion, and discussions would be rather boring without opinions, so there.
Also, I'm not sure I've used the word art anywhere earlier in this discussion, except maybe once with a " on each end, if I have that was an oversight. I'm generally reluctant to use that word and consider myself an illustrator, not an artist. Put it down to my insecurities if you will. |

I agree with Mermais in 120%.
Why?
This is a Double Screen Compo thread so let us consider this example. When Veto publish all works after first couple hours votes looks like:
First place Monroe 6569 by Digger 9.3 average votes and two digit "ten vote" - votes
Last place takes Asteroidmine by Grass with avg about 6
After Mermaid and JCB found orginal images and become clear so many pictures from this compo is only a convert or retouch convert votes "magically" turns upside down.
Now Monroe 6569 even after additional votes has only a one digit "ten vote" votes. And only 7.8
Why? - because some sceners cares.
New voters had in mind examples - gif-transitions from Mermaid, those who voted earlier - changes their votes, downvote.
Why? - because they cares. They appreciate the work of man, not computer programs.
As i see sceners are sometimes afraid to judge or highly vote realistic picture because they suspect that it might be a conversion. It hits at those graphicans who can draw.
So my suggestion (such as deviantart) create new category: photomanipluation graphicans for those designers who use the techniques of conversion, coping, retouch or raytracing.
Without this, without Mermaid and JCB work in this compo, results would be different. In that situation for sure Grass would take last place. Now when users know about conversions - Grass move up.Because when we throwing everything (converted, retouch google images, raytraced models) - and normal pixelart work into one is like compete in the marathon, but instead run from the beginning - join up to 2 miles before the finish line. Unfair.
I bet if Grass - instead painting - convert/retouch some google images - and no Mermaid and JCB actions - he takes much higher place.
Is this what we want? Conversions?

actually Irwin, it was neither Mermaid nor JCB who started the ball rolling with "Raven".
why don't you ask them who found it in the first place?
I just don't like to jump the gun and "out" people before they have time to admit it. and i don't like "witchhunts".

Quoting Saint STE'86Priceless!
Quoting Saint STE'86i do SO love to see these "outed"
Quoting Saint STE'86Mermaid is a big fat meanie!
Ok, I might have made that last one up.
I did actually credit JCB for detective work when I posted the originals for each entry, as he's the guy I got them from.
Yours truly,
Mermaid Hopkins (Witchfinder General) |

@STE86
Doesn't matter who starts, who founds - could be even a Ghandi or Pope or Martians - important is why and what, read my post. |

"Repaints" have generally not been allowed in compos on parties since the mid-nineties at least.
This does not mean those can't be cool. He/she who hasn't "repainted" anything for the past 6 months should 'throw the first stone' :) (thinking of a certain Yuri Gagarin pic which imho might be the coolest pic this year so far...O:-)

@Irwin yes and read MY post.
I was the one who initially found the raven source image and I would have posted it as soon as Dane had posted his first post on the thread and not acknowledged it.
but Veto had only just finished uploading the entries when Mermaid posted that pic.
