*is so jealous of the talent being shown here* This is going to be some seriously stiff competition. And I bet you anything Apollo is going to have such a tough time deciding, he's going to dig into a bag of tricks for extra prizes (thought perhaps smaller in nature). ---------------------------------------- Selling my Grunion Collection! 174 ships, 164 sloops, ALL GRUNIONS! |

Just save the images to a single folder, and ensure all files have unique names. Then in photoshop do File->Automate->Contact Sheet Select the folder and set column/row and page sizing. The automation took approximately 5 minutes at most. Personally, these were my favorites based on coloring, art style and overall esthetics.  ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by d4rk0n3 at Nov 14, 2005 8:41:20 AM] |

They should be there now, the images weren't being displayed on forum initially. Your two have been added. Wasn't intentional. |

d4rk0n3 - That's a sensational job - thanks. It makes it so much easier to see them all and there are a few that my system (or non techie me) somehow couldn't open that I'm looking at for the first time. What a brilliant collection.

Thank you all for the great entries - it was hard work choosing! My favorite three win their choice of prizes as detailed in the first thread. These three should PM me with their choice of prize and a guide to when they're most likely to be around in-game, and I will attempt to deliver them as soon as possible. They were: Guybrush of Viridian with this beautiful avatar. MissBecca of Viridian with three entries, all of which I liked, but especially these two. Rubyspoon of Midnight for the sneaky faces. Each of these "nearly made it" avatars will receive an Apollo doll. I'll try to catch you in-game as soon as possible: Raquaetta of Midnight Sadiekate of Midnight Adee of Sage Tearin of Midnight I stole the key to the trinket cupboard, so each of the following will receive a small something as well. I'll try to catch each of you in-game as soon as possible. Carribean of Midnight Hedvvig of Midnight Empanado of Midnight Shazbot of Midnight Sky of Viridian Snakeeye of Viridian Kristen of Midnight Rmarzbarr of Midnight Auron of Cobalt Ravine of Midnight Spoppy of Midnight Please don't petition for these prizes unless it's me on duty. I enjoyed all of the entries and thank you again for making them. I'm hoping to be able to cycle through several of them on the forum. If you're not a main prize winner and you have an objection to me using your avatar, please PM me and I'll ensure that I don't use it. |

Judging the winners against the non winners, the following is what I found to hold. Any entry using or manipulating the portrait was instantly thrown out. Synful - Disqualified cuz used portrait Nitronline - Disqualified cuz used portrait Flip - Disqualified cuz used portrait Piratepeace - Disqualified cuz used portrait Quintillaz - Disqualified for unknown Siobhan - Disqualified cuz used portrait Ponytail Guy - Disqualified for unknown Polly - Disqualified cuz used portrait Capearl - Disqualified for unknown Leif - Disqualified cuz used portrait Love - Disqualified cuz used portrait Markozeta - Disqualified for unknown Hawkings - Disqualified for unknown Anabanana - Disqualified cuz used portrait Gracely - Disqualified for unknown My submissions didn't draw the OM per say I guess, I am guessing that the contest in itself was not simply draw an avatar, but a continuation of the "Draw the Oceanmaster series". Copying Nemo's art style being the predominant judging factor. Art is subjective and all of the entries were done very creatively and everyone should be proud of their entries. All of mine were hand drawn using illustrator (light pen art tablet), freehand and photoshop, with only using the portrait for the first entry and the background being hand drawn. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 5 times, last edit by d4rk0n3 at Nov 14, 2005 6:44:06 PM] |
