I would love to enter... but I don't want the prizes if I win...Even when you can choose what you want if you win first, you want nothing? How gracious. By all means, I'd still love to have you enter. If we had a situation like that, I always just pass the prizes down to the people who follow in placement. Nothing wrong with declining them if you wanted to. But if you still want to participate, sure, feel free. :)
I have something I've been wanting to spit out, get it out of my system.Yeah, I'll allow it. The way I chose the second category left it open for that kind of idea. But of course, the entrant has to choose which category they want it to be judged under. Or I'll just throw it in whichever one I feel like. It won't be a "special category" or anything. Nothing wrong with trying to do a little of both, especially if the person only enters one pic and doesn't have the time to draw for both categories.
To the contestants, I don't know what category it would go under, but if you want to earn extra points from me, YZ. Try to combine the two categories.
That is, IF Rock Miyabi allows it. [eyebrow]
Good thing I made my last post than, other wise there would have been alot of brain farts, at last minute.But brain farts are awesome. 8D
I'm totally, actually working on art right now.OMG, I TOTALLY AM TOO!! AND MY ENTRY DOESN'T EVEN COUNT! owob
I SWEAR IT, WORKING NOW.
I'd just like to know if Rock/Samus Aran is kosher before I draw it.I,...er...meh, who am I kidding. I need people to actually participate. Sure, go nuts. It's kosher enough in Captain N world, even if your Rock isn't green. 8) As long as you've got one legit character, it's really no different from having a fancharacter in there. It's fine.
We don´t get to judge much, do we?SHHHHHHHHHHH MURPHY'S LAW
SHHHHHHHHHHH MURPHY'S LAWDo I look like I´m wearring an afro? 8D
We just got 1 entry from someone. ;3
When do we get to judge? I´m all fired up >0<As long as we get enough entries in, there are still just under 13 hours for people to complete their pics. If we have enough, I'll send you the link and info tomorrow. We're up to 4 Humor and 2 Talent now. I'd still prefer to have at least 5 in each category, if not double that. :/ It's not really a contest if you basically win for submitting, now is it?
It's a little unfair to the artists who already sent in their entries.I actually agree
Some kind of penalty to the late entries would make it a little more fair. XD
I don't know how many of Vixy's "last-minute" friends were in that bunch, but chances are most did.
I've been doing these contests for 4 years now, and of course the main reason has always been to give something back to you guys and do some community-building. I wouldn't be essentially giving away $100-$200 of my own money for prizes every year if that weren't the case. (LOL, that's why I can't afford a tablet or up-to-date photo program! 8D)
I am not holding out hope for any more, to be quite honest. Everyone who said they would be entering on my dA journal did, other than kata. I don't know how many of Vixy's "last-minute" friends were in that bunch, but chances are most did.
As stupid as it sounds, I think I'll feel worse for the 1 or 2 people who don't make the top 3 if they can't win something, than I would if 2-6 additional people couldn't win a prize. Because then I'm gonna feel like I owe them something for participating, when they just missed out. Again, it was just for competition reasons more than anything. I know 2 months should have been enough time, but I always keep hoping to get a large enough field where it actually feels like a contest. If we don't get any more, we'll just roll with it and I'll take the blame for doing nothing but delaying the inevitable.

(LOL, that's why I can't afford a tablet or up-to-date photo program! 8D) But I can definitely see the mood just isn't there anymore in our community, unless it's some awesome, new, special prize straight from Capcom themselves. And that's what other people have told me privately, as well. Sure, we get busy with life; I for one know that too much. And that affects how many have time to enter. But there hasn't been much change in participants recently, either. Plus enough Rockman fansites are dying out or just aren't too active, so fewer have interest in something like this, or in the prizes I end up giving away. I know not everyone is an EXE fan, but it's usually the easiest merchandise for me to get a hand of, or have extras laying around.
So for those reasons, that's why I was fully intending on this being the last contest I personally held, and I was just sorta hoping it would go out with a little more of a bang is all. Same reason why I didn't want Maq's to end on such a bad note in '08, and offered to be the one giving away prizes this past summer. Just so her last contest would actually be a contest, rather than ending as a year where the entries never got judged and disappeared into an unknown wasteland. So yeah, extending this deadline is partially just my ego holding on to something, hoping for one last-ditch surge. And for that, I apologize to any of you who don't totally agree with me prolonging it a week, especially when Valentine's Day will be long over. But I just...wanted to try one last time, is all. And that's the truth of the matter, which I honestly didn't really want to be made public yet.
Wow...
Well...maybe I'll try and get something done really quick, in that case. It won't be big and it won't be pretty, but every little helps, as they say. x3
Hope you got a lot of entries! I never got around to doing a full fledged Talent entry, but I'll post the doodle I made up for the heck of it 0v0Aww... So cute. X3

Plus, HI! 8U
As far as what we got...well, what you see in the confirmed entry list in my initial post is what we got.
