Wow guys. Just wow. How bout here's an idea. Instead of cluttering up this thread with negativity, someone create a new thread where those that want to gripe can. THAT way, those of us that ENJOYED this contest and are genuinely happy for the finalists can come in here and congratulate them. I personally luv all the contests tbt has. They put a lot of effort into them, as do the rest of us that contribute. It's all about community (because that is what we are). And a community is supportive of each other. If all this griping continues, our BAD @$$ mods may eventually just say screw it and not put anymore time and energy into any more contests. Yes, competing is fun, and creative, and this little board has majorly talented peeps on here. Let's be supportive of each other and continue to create, and be a community. Remember creativeness varies in all shapes and forms and we all possess creativity in ways. So once again from me, CONGRATS to all the finalists!!! You all did amazing work. And congrats to all those that participated! YOU all showed creativity that I know was appreciated! And congrats to all of us that have got to enjoy the fire festival and all the fun it brought. And finally, CONGRATS and THANK YOU to the mods. For all your hard work and sorting through everything. Without you, there would be NO contest!

Erm , everyone stopped talking about that like 2 days ago
 
You all have done an amazing job on your entries! I finally got my vote in ^^ Good luck everyone <3
 
I'm really confused about the results of the poll, like which votes belong to which picture. It seems to mix weirdly at the top and halfway?

the votes are at the top of each picture, i can only see it mixing in the middle because one of the entries was removed, (the one with one vote), but after that it returns to normal (i.e the number at the top of the picture). the poll for each picture is actually on the picture so that's how i work it out. does that make sense? sorry if i've confused you more haha

Just click on the picture you want to vote for and it'll automatically select the correct radio button for you.

Finally managed to make up my mind and vote. :)
 
The drawings are beautiful, we have some really good artists there.
I wish I could vote for more than one! Gah!
 
I think the 7th one from above is the most well made, but I like the last better so I voted for the last one. All drawings are great though, so good job to all of the entrants! :)
 
I'm hoping #7 wins because holy moly that is amazing looking and you can a tell a whole lot of work was put into, it the shading is amazing, the characters have a lovely style to them I really love how they drew Francine she looks so elegant, also that background is just so beautiful <3


also I'm guessing the castle on top of the mountains is their house? if it is that is a nice touch

don't get me wrong all the other entries are amazing but that is one that caught my eye the most out of all of them.​

They're all so beautiful... I wish I could draw/paint/etc. well. >< Yeah; this is going to be a tough decision. I love them all ><! Excellent job everyone!

Edited: My comments about the entries are going to be random, sorry about it being so scattered (that's how my brain works). Some I might say more than I do about others, please don't perceive how much I write or how little, as meaning how much I liked it. I'm not really good at describing artwork (or anything) and I have racing thoughts, so everything I'm typing is really scattered and not organized even as I think about what I'm going to say before typing it. Plus, after typing a few comments, already, I'm impatient to click save even though I haven't commented on each one (which I'm going to try to do; just some of them won't be as thorough as the ones I started writing about first); I rearranged some of what I just wrote to follow the order of the entries, but not all of them are in order. Also, some of them, I don't know how to describe what I see or like.

I ended up voting for the eleventh entry; the one with the dragon in it. I was really torn between that one, the second to the last entry, the postcard one, the last entry, and the Isabelle one; even after saying that, I still loved looking at the other entries as well; I kind of felt entranced by all of them. If any of these were sold at Youmacon this year, I'd want to buy them all! lol ><. The sixth and seventh entries make me want to hug that kitty (Felicity?) ><! So cute!!! The sixth entry makes me want to grab one of those lanterns for her.

The first entry makes me hungry just looking at it. It looks so real! I thought it was a photograph when I first glanced at it. lol

I love all of the colors used in the second entry; the sun and the sun's reflection were really captivating to me. I like how the hammock, the palm trees (leaves and trunk) were colored; sorry I can't describe what I like in exact words. The girl looks really cute too ^_^; even though I already am being lazy, looking at her lounging on the hammock makes me want to drift away to sleep ~ though not outside (I hate bugs ><).

The third entry: I love the splashes of paint that were added to the painting; and I love how the vibrant colors and the texture that were added in parts of the flower and the hummingbird. Gorgeous! :]

Is that the red snapper chair I see in the fourth entry, only ~ being used as a floatie rather than an on-land chair? :P I love the texture and the shadowing added to the clouds; the water looks calm and possibly warm; I might actually want to take a dip in the water (unless there are sharks ><; I'm scared of the ocean because of sharks and other things). Skye looks really relaxed ~ maybe in a little daze or deep in thought, and that piece of watermelon looks tasty even though I don't care much for watermelon. :P I like all of the colors used; they all go well ~ without blending too much with Skye's colors. :)

The fifth entry makes me want to join her out there; it also reminds me of how I felt when walking through the Wheatfield or at the Angle at Gettysburg (Civil War battlefield). It was so exhilarating and breathtaking. The stars look real too. Very breathtaking, I think.

The sixth entry ~ I love the splashes of of teal (is that the correct name for that color?) and the color of the cat's shirt! Just looking at the lanterns make me feel their warmth; I love all of the shading and different colors used. :] I love the tassels of the lantern too ><! Also, the eager expression on her face is adorable!

The seventh entry is really breathtaking to look at the scenery; the castle in the distance, the mountains, the moon in the sky. I get a summer-y feeling when looking at this picture particularly from the shading of the grass. The girl is beautiful ~ and the outfit she's wearing; it looks so soft.

The eighth entry's colors are stunning; I love all of the different colors I see. The pencil strokes give the drawing an interesting effect; it looks like it's maybe a windy/foggy day or if this is a scene seen through someone's eyes, that the person is in some sort of a daze maybe? (Please forgive me if I'm not looking at the drawing correctly ><).

The ninth entry (the entry below the one that was removed): I really love seeing artwork that's designed like a letter/postcard; some of my favorite books as a kid were these books that contained letters from different characters or that were notebooks with illustrations (Babysitters' Club, Amelia's notebook or something like that, etc.). I love the sassy look on her face lol. :)

The tenth entry: I love their facial expressions (and the expression shown in the text bubble :P). lol. Very cute. :] Also, I like the style of this artwork. :]

The eleventh entry: I love the swirl and the blurring/blending of the colors in the sky. Everything about this picture is breathtaking to look at; the dragon's majestic and illuminating presence above the water and in the sky; the quaint little village/town on top of the mountain or hill, and the path winding down and around those rolling emerald hills... I also love the shadow and texture used in this painting.

The twelfth entry: I like the transition that can be seen in the sky: sunset to night sky. The overall picture reminds me of a picture I took when I was on a family vacation in Aruba. Very warm and relaxing. I also like the color of the fireworks. ^_^.

The thirteenth entry: Very beautiful! It looks like some of drawings that are in this coloring book that I just recently bought; thus, this picture makes me want to color. lol I really like the style used too. :] I really see the intensity of the waves and water with the different shapes you used

The fourteenth entry: Regardless what mood I'm in, Isabelle's enthusiastic and excited face lightens me up and makes me want to join in on the fun. ^_^ Also, I like this style of art a lot :].

The fifteenth entry definitely gives me that summer-y feeling and also gives makes me feel like I'm looking at someone's memory (flashback) except as an illustration rather than a photograph.

The sixteenth entry: So cute! I love the colors, the texture, the kitty faces, the shapes, sweets (even though I'm not much a sweet eater), the drink, and the sand around the main picture. ^_^

The last entry: I love the different video game cameos (if that's the right word to call it) in it ~ Pokemon, Majora's Mask, Splatoon; and the picture as a whole gives me the impression that I'm looking at someone's memory through a old vintage camera or something.

Phew! I'm finally done.
