Congratulations all !   But... in regards to Raijin's "Dishornorable Mention" for Zemfira's stick figure, you just don't understand art Raijin !  She was going for the "Neo-Minimalist" approach to her art, juxtaposing the character armature that is used for the animation runtimes in EQ2 with Satori one achieves from playing until your fingers bleed !  But, what do I know... I'm just a professional computer animator with several major television broadcast awards...Swiftsmith<div></div>

To: Nimrodblack...  No, you did not interupt an art class. I was just commenting on something Raijin had said on one of the contestants that I had taken offense to... but that has been resolved at least to my satifaction and no hard feelings remain.To: Zemfira...  Keep on drawing ! One only sees improvements in any area with practice. You like "stick figures"... you draw them Girl ! I like stick figures too... work with them every single day ! I'd go absolutely crazy if I had to storyboard an animation sequence with numerous characters in the scene if I had to sketch in detail every one of those characters. And those stick figures do have an important purpose in computer character animations because the skeletal armatures used to program character movements are based upon those simple "stick figures".So you just keep on praticing your drawing if that is where you want your art to go... remember... "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder" !<div></div>

<P>Art stinks ...</P> <P>I have to suffer through Humanity courses cause my Master's Degree needs to make me a well rounded person.</P> <P>Hm .. I can do that by eating more :smileywink:</P> <P>And I liked the stick figure!  Cause that's pretty much how I draw anyway.  (That's why I never join these contests, I know I will never win so no point!)</P>
