Avatar Challenge Battle #4! Enter This Time, Dammit!

oh shit i shouldve done that

i submitted already though lol

You can always re-submit, DG.

You have until the deadline (thursday night) to hand in your final entry. I should prolly include that in the rules, but several artists have re-submitted work after making changes. (SunocO knows what I’m talking about)

As long as you get me your final entry by the deadline, I don’t care how many rough drafts, rejected ideas, or whatever else you submit to me beforehand.

…seriously.

interesting.

maybe i will animate my animated one a lil bit more.

ha, i was thinking that it was cut in stone after that.

I’m in. I’d be happier with a little more time, but I’ll make do.

Moo

LXH(Laughing Xtremly Hard) @ DG’s av:clap:

haha, i aint got not time for jibba jabba.

but i’m entering this for the absolute fuck of it.

even though i suck ass.

Ok!

This is turning out to be the best comp yet!

So far I have 14 avs (7 in each category) and there’s still over 2-days left (and SEVERAL artists who I’m still expecting to turn in entries by then)!

The quality of these is also top notch! A few of these are real showstoppers.

I’m really looking forward to sharing these with you guys on friday.

…seriously.

Quiche, Since most of the people here think there are too many judges, you can remove me fron the list.

I’ve never made an Avatar before so I’m probably not as qualified to judge the entries as someone who has exeprience creating these. I’ve always thought of my reviews as observations and thoughts of the average (non-avatar making) SRK’er, and after reading the other Avatar battle results threads its obvious that some people really dont want an outsider judging. :xeye:

If you need help with the prizes let me know. I just set up a paypal account. :tup:

And now for a random fact about Vin Diesel…On his birthday, Vin Diesel randomly selects one lucky child to be thrown into the sun.

Personally, I think you’re plenty qualified to judge. There are other judges who don’t make AVs on the panel too, like RandomNigga and OrochiTempest.

Only 2 people have commented on the large number of judges, but whatever. You’re still welcome to judge if you want. I don’t think that I have too many judges, really. I mean, the more diverse the judging crowd is, the better representation the judgements get, right? Besides, we’re looking at a record number of entries for this contest, so Chibi’s assertion that there will be more judges than entries in each category is dead wrong.

For now I’ll take you off my judging list, but if you change your mind, just pm me before thursday night.

…seriously.

Well the thing is sometimes there is more diversity if you pick people with diversity rather than have a lot of judges. 6 is already pushing it, but 8? That’s like the olympics, but even the olympics choose only 6 of the scores. And having 8 could present the problem of actually having to wait for judges to chime in before commenting at all on the works. That adds more time to the judging and critiquing process and in the end that just dampers enthusiasm. That’s what kinda fucked up the tag battle held earlier in the year because of the post contest activities were handled wrongly.

What else could present a problem is that if the judges are similarily like minded, it could favor one contestant over others. Diversity doesn’t come from having more, it comes from choosing different people. But so far that problem hasn’t presented itself as obvious as it could be. If anything (and considering the amount of entrants) this would probably the real acid test on how good these contests are. I’m impressed very there are 14 entries. You’re handling it well Quiche.

OC

if the person im thinking of wins this contest, then this shit is rigged and judges are biased. So let’s see if this contest is actually fair, because all of us can probably tell which avy belongs to who, so yeah

Yeah I’m happy that I was dead wrong, giving a broad theme helped out plenty.

I still think eight judges is a bit much, and that it should be cut down by half at least. And I know you like getting entires from a few certain folks, but having judges enter the competition they have authority just doesn’t work, regardless of how objective we are. You’re one or the other.

;p

I’d rather not have the judges enter into the battle. It just doesn’t seem fair, but on the other hand that would push the current 8 judges to resign thier position JUST to enter. Rather than have judges, make it the traditional Poll way. To be fair to everyone. :3

oh and quiche, there really should be a theme. A motivation, etc.

my 2 pesos.

p.s. i think i should toss the half-assed one i sent you becuase i was in a rush. dunno if i can fully commit to this battle since I have some damn midterms to study for in the next 2 days. :frowning:

Evil Morrigan, plz change your mind. Be a judge:tup:

the one i sent is going to win, i am here already apologizing to people for my wicked entry because you guys never even had a shot

you remember what happened last time there was a poll.

quiche, i resign as a judge.

No polls, ever.

:stuck_out_tongue:

Heh…between you and the OC this contest is just about over anyway.:cybot:

i wasn’t involved with the last poll debacle. So i dunno what happened there.

Okay n/m about the poll vote again. Although 8 is overboard.
