RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Hey, I know I've been on little to none lately, I've been very busy with school, the musical, and my own little project. Anyways, I'll be able to judge all the entries tomorrow night. I'm going out right now and I have a college class in the morning. Anyways, I hope everyone gets their stuff in! I've taking a quick look at what's already been entered and I must say I'm impressed.

This is really hard for me since i don't have anyone to discuss with like everyone else...could i possibly use my vacation week?

noone has a full group.....just remember that this will be graded really easily as most people are copping out and taking the vacation week (which is against the rules, as they were on AND I extended the deadline for you guys....I mean, its not THAT hard. I had two good pieces done two DAYS ago...come on guys....step it up, get your stuff in and go on with it.

RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

well i'm quitting because no one gets anything from this and it takes a lot of time. btw, HS, did you really need to insult abaxter so badly? just asking.
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Yea come on guys! lol (comming from guy w/ vacation week.) I think we are over using the vaca week, I was at least acually on vacation untill the day it was originally due so I think that is a valid excuse, come on I dont want alot of eleminations!
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Well, it was unfair since i was the only one without a group...sure other ppl had a group of two, but i didn't have anyone.
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

I can see where this is going...B-ray please don't get rid of the vacation week! I go to london on thursday so I'm going to need it! Anyway Almost done with mine. By the way coordinating with your partner can be...hard to do. Because you're not always on at the same time. But I think B-ray has been pretty fair with us! Get things in guys, I'm almost done!

Stop crying about it.....youre one of the best banner makers on here, and youre complaining its not fair because YOUR Group members left you.....I gave you a full WEEK and a half to create 1 Banner....and you cant do that.....I've been OVERLY fair to you guys....making it very easy.....by all means, if you dont wanna give the effort, drop out. A person with that attitude dosent deserve to win this contest....and I wouldnt even worry about the score.....too many people are gonna be out due to not turning it in.

MK-Im not getting rid of the vacation week, dont worry. This is why it can only be used once. Just FINISHING Project Custom is a challenge....and I think we can all see the people who thrive in this, and the people who dont.

MUCKSTER-Thanks.....but remember that can only be used once.

This is really disappointing me.....this was one of the biggest challenges in the contest, and over half didnt do it. Why is everyone making it hard than it is.

HS was being honest, pika2. I agree he could have worded it better, but some people like him just dont care about peoples feelings.

Only about an hour left.....hurry up guys!

RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Pika: Actually, I was more then willing to help you with ideas, and really, only needing to make 1 Banner is easier. You don't have to think, how does this fit with my partner? Or ask him his opion. Just my 2 cents.

I really hope people submit soon. I want to se some art :p

Wes: A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

Fixed lol.

I agree, Wes. It looks like only two teams will be turning their projects in this week, and Wes, yours looks great. Very Superb. I'm dissappointed that only two teams will be judged this week. Looks like you'll have our next challenge soon B-Ray. :p

dmaster out.
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

You'll have to get us judges some info b-ray, I'm not exactly sure how to handle the judging int this round. On second though, I'll just look at your judge post as an example.

Yeah, you guys can just go off my example. Just make sure you take into account that these guys did it....and over half didnt. Noone will be out this week due to POTD dropping out and others not turning in their work, but there will be a winner. We just have to take into account the difficulity of the challenge and the effort put into it.

RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Hey, BR, could you grant this challange half an hour more of time? I just got home from work and Moneyking was waiting for my advice on his work before he posted it. It's gonna take around that long, I think.
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Why not....a half an hour is cool. That way the others can post.....11:30 PM EST.....and thats FINAL.

How can I be easier pika2? Yet you STILL complain....its gonna be fun in my FOTD =]

RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

And now its time for the Best part....you know what it is!

FUN FACT OF THE CHALLENGE
Did you know.....Only 45% of the competitiors had a piece turned in for this challenge???? WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!

So thats it.....for everyone who took vacation weeks, you will NOT have another. I hope that we can really get to having ALL the entrys turned in.....theres been so many dropouts/incomplete work that its ruining it. I'll definately have to show around more for deticated artists to see who can hang with the big boys.....The next challenge will be announced after all the scores are in and a winner is voted.

For all the people that were eliminated....I dont wanna see it end like this. So I will be allowing you to turn your Late Work until 11 PM EST on March 1st. Remember you can use this only once and -10 will be deducted from your final score. I wasnt going to allow Late Work as I had already extended the deadline twice by a respectable amount....but I want this Tournament to succeed....so Im gonna be leanent. THIS IS THE LAST TIME IM DOING THIS....im serious too.....please get all your work in on time....I give you the due date WAY ahead of time.

Thanks,
-Black Rayquaza
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

B-Ray, I have my entry...If you eliminate me I'm sorry...
riversomething2.png


Sorry I was half an hour late. Heres my story, sorry if it sounds like an excuse. My Gramps came down with the flu 2 days ago, he went to the hospital and they were getting him back. However he has a condition that causes irregular heartbeats. Anyway long story short he was just moved into the ICU (intensive Care Unit) Because his heart was...not doing good. While reacting with the flu. I'm sorry. Technically I was late and I would respect you if I was still eliminated. It was COMPLETELY my fault for being late. Sorry. And no guilt trips...just want to let you know I was done and turn this in!

Okay...Im gonna edit my post....you get -10 for being late....but you're still in Project Custom.
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Thank you so much! Fhew didn't want to be out. I forgot about the late thing! I really need to step it up in the next challenge...I know I can do much better art wise!
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Wow... I scored MUCH higher than I was expecting (I was expecting a 32/60 or something)... I think it's appearent that Avant-Garde isn't my strength at all. lol I can't think out-of-the-norm and I had the worst time trying to make it, too.

Also, a bit of advice, BR, lets not do any more group challanges. I wasn't necessarily a fan of that part of this challange to begin with. Sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining.
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Well everythings updated.....judges you can start judging now....I found it alot easier to judge as nothing was as Avant Garde as I hoped.....and I gave good examples too :/

Wes-Well In Project Custom II I will attempt it again.....but not anymore in this one.....we just dont have the time. Its great in theory but when everyone cops out it dosent work as well as It sounds.

RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

I think you people that took your vacation week this week are gonna be screwed later. I'm sure b-ray has tougher challeges than this up his sleeve.

Anyway,

Wes1234:
Effect: 8/10 Very cool effects on palkia, but font is just kinda lame...
Color Usage: 7/10 It's decent, I wouldn't have had a bright orange like that in the background.
Effort: 7/10 Maybe everyone should get a 10/10 who actual turned something in this week. Nah. Compared to some others your effort seems just a tad weak.
Originality: 8/10 I wouldn't think of putting halo and pokemon together.
Relation to the Challenge: 8/10 It's basically an originality challenge, so I see no reason why this should be different than the above.
Overall: 6/10 There's just something not quite right, I really can't put my finger on it though...
Total: 44/60

Monkeyking63:
Effect: 7/10 It has a cartoony feel, but then it's totaly ruined by the realistic fireworks.
Color Usage: 7/10 Too many colors.
Effort: 9/10 I can tell you put some into making this unique.
Originality: 9/10 It's definetley different.
Relation to the Challenge: 9/10
Overall: 6/10 Size is bad, and it seems like you were just messing around with random photoshop effects.
Total: 47/60

pika2:
Effect: 9/10 The simpleness in and of itslef makes for a nice effect.
Color Usage: 8/10 Hard to go wrong with white and blue.
Effort: 6/10 Maybe some went into making it original, but it couldn't have taken more than 30 minutes.
Originality: 9/10 As I said before, the simplicity has it's own originality. I have no idea what the text means, but it looks cool.
Relation to the Challenge: 9/10
Overall: 9/10 Everything makes a good impresion on me ecept that sugimori.
Total: 50/60

Bellomence:
Effect: 9/10 The animation does work very well in this case.
Color Usage: 9/10 I don't know if I'd have choose that color for the text, but the rest is nice.
Effort: 9/10
Originality: 8/10 Animations aren't all that original now, but you managed to put a unique spin on it.
Relation to the Challenge: 8/10
Overall: 9/10 Nice. But the "plusle" has a minus on its cheeks and tail.
Total: 52/60

Zzzdark:
Effect: 7/10 Text and ligh effects are cool, but the background just looks horrible.
Color Usage: 9/10 Meh, it's pretty good.
Effort: 6/10 Doesn't look like it would've taken long.
Originality: 7/10 Not a whole lot original about this.
Relation to the Challenge: 7/10
Overall: 7/10 Size and background are just bla, but the rest is good.
Total: 43/60

TSC:
Effect: 8/10 Cartoony style is cool, I don't like the text though.
Color Usage: 9/10 Fits the style well.
Effort: 6/10 Not seeing so much.
Originality: 9/10 The cartoony style is something I haven't seen.
Relation to the Challenge: 9/10
Overall: 7/10 Small things just add up and ruin the overall look.
Total: 48/60

Overall I think I was very forgiving this round, mostly because there just wasn't a higher standard to compare against. None were exceptional. I'll be looking for better next round.

Scores:
1. Bellomence (52)
2. Pika2 (50)
3. TSC (48)
4. Monkeyking63 (47)
5. Wes1234 (44)
6. Zzzdark (43)

This is just my two cents on the matter, but I think the cause of all these dropouts was not only unwillingness to work in a group, but misunderstanding of the task. The use of "avant-garde" really threw people off. I think you'd have been better of saying things in plain terms to begin with.
