Here is your banner!


Congrats!

Saw your last comment in the critique thread.
And I suppose the short answer is that you know that she will just put up a non-ending fight and just insist her work is perfect, and reject all critique.
I guess take it up with the mod who deleted it.

/hugs.

Thank you for introducing me to Paul Bonner's art on your blog! He's my new favorite artist.

Apologies for being heavy handed.
It was a shame how the thread was derailed.

If its any consolation, I think macabre is a great theme to use, and look forward to it immensely! :]

Hey Deimos, I thought since I'm probably never going to get to pick the theme for an art contest, I thought I'd start sending VMs to the winners containing my suggestions.

What I would pick, is "in the sky." It can cover everything from birds to insects to flying reptiles to aircrafts like planes and helicopters to beautiful stars, sunsets and night skies.

It's just a suggestion. You don't have to take it.

Yeah, you can do that if you want.
That's what most people seem to do.

Congrats, you won this month's art contest!

That banner's for you (people usually put it in their sig, since it can't count as an "official" banner. As for why Gold's not giving it to you, I'm the one that modifies these each month, so I figured I'd send it straight to you). Just so you know to look, in the results thread it tells you that you have the choice of what the next contest theme is. If you don't want to pick, the second- and then third-place winners can pick.

Awesome entry, it seemed to be a favorite among everyone. You were far ahead in the votes, although it ended up being a pretty close one between the three winners.

Great job!

Thank you! I can't wait to see your entry in this month's contest. I really do enjoy your drawings and characters. When I improve, I'd love to do a collab comic with you or something.

Or not.

To be honest, I think going to college for art is pointless. It's all about observation and practice. College is just there for the degree, but it's your portfolio that's most important.

Still, teachers can show you some pretty neat tricks here and there. And I feel like I'll need a mentor to ge passed my fear of Photoshop and other digital painting software.

I know you're a guy. I was joking.

I hope you get a scholarship. I'll be surprised if you don't considering that I got one.

So, any word on CCS? I'm transferring there in the Fall. Maybe we can become the bestest friends ever?! We'll hold hands to each class, and talk about the boys we think are cute.

You should enter the next ZU art contest.

Heres the Vladstar one! The text was a pigs ear because of trying to get the color right and stuff.

Im no wizard when it comes to making my own sigs. They end up being a bit generic but heres how Comrade Catfish turned out!

D:

You posted an image by Andrew Loomis; I own that book, by the way (Figure Drawing).

your art is amazingly fantastic. probably my favorite next to EL's no offense lol

What college do you plan on going to? CCS?

WOW, WOW, WOW
so cool artwork!

My cousin used to live in Rochester. That's like 25 minutes away from me. Very cool.

You're only 17? Wow, you're art is really impression, especially given your age.

I'm also from Michigan, by the way. Are you by any chance near Detroit?
