Paint The Game

@Johnway Well, I liked it Win or not, at least you are contributing with something cool!

@Frindis Thanks for the feedback! I guess its all goo practice as for once i had a focussed goal and i took a methodical/professional approach to drawing. In fact on the first few days it was reference gathering and me typing single sentences on a notepad for ideas and as a to do list. Thumbnails, practice images for expressions ideas etc.

The biggest problem was probably the lackluster execution and being an art compo, the professionals will run rampant and crush the amateur/hobby artist (i could be wrong though).

Still, glad to get it out of my system. If i had didn't submit anything i suspect it would have gnawed in the back of my mind until the 10th and probably feel depressed if i discovered i could come up with something compelling. Now i'm just depressed trying to learn some MS server skills in preparation for the office closure that's going to happen....

@Johnway I hope you are right too. Most likely, they see through the fancy ones and go look for the one with more meaning and depth. This actually reminds me of how VaatiVidya organizes his art contests. He is very clear about differencing something that just looks incredibly good and something that looks good but has a soul *cough* Dark Souls.
