Before I start, I want you to know I'm not being bitter. Not at all. I'm simply utterly confused, bamboozled, bemused, bewildered - whatever. I instantly know as I type this, I'll get the flourish of "omg ur jst cryin cuz u dint win!1".
Not at all.
I just really cannot understand how a paint job - and so poor a paint job at that - won. Excluding my own, there were plenty of other great if not better efforts. They looked better, more effort was made, and they generally didn't look utter cockshank.
I mean, part of the incoherently thrown together concoction of, to be honest, pish-poor drawings, was this -- [URL]http://www.geocities.com/thekyzzone3/footballfosco.JPG[/URL]
Sorry, but come on. That is blindingly poor. It looks as if it were drawn by a retarded Himalayan gorilla with the intelligence of a teaspoon, and the mental capacity of a pencil.
Just to reiterate for those with a memory span of a finger nail (which is the majority of you), this is not meant to be a whiny ar**d post. Just a statement of my complete and utter confusion at how such, and to steal Nashy's word, 'cockshank' won.

I'd like your honest opinion here.
Which do you believe is the better drawing(s)? I really wouldn't have put such effort in if I knew the former link would win.
What a way to waste more than a week of valuable revision time.
I'm still sure I'll get the barrage of "omg ur crap cuz u dint win!11392", and "but omg it woz para!1 ur jst jelus!1".
To this I say, shut up and open your eyes.
Freakin' morons.
At least my picture made sense in the slightest. And at least I could spell "Tony", rather than "omg sherrrighef".
Hmmm.
And please, oh please - don't try and guilt trip me because of my insulting of those utterly retarded...things, because it's plain to see.
They're boll*cks.
I tried so very hard to like your entries Kyz, I really did. I tried three times, but failed each time due to the fact that I failed to go not 10 seconds without feeling the need to bludgeon my own head with a knife in an attempt to rid my mind of the images.
Bah.
Not bitter. Honest.

I gotta say Para's entries looked really crap. They're not even 'fun' they could easily have just been lifted out of some random 5 year olds art folder.
Azul shouldn't necessarily of won though either. Nice picture and all but a bit....boring?

i suppose it was the idea that counted and not how well you could draw. Otherwise it wouldn't have been a fair competition.
Hey Azul, didn't know you could draw so well - that picture is pretty damn good.
Of course, my comments on the subject stop here.

Ha Ha Azul, you big looser. Next time they do a competition are you going to trace something else and enter it then?
I am sure it has been said lots, but all they wanted was originality and some humour. Not some over proud sketch from a big headed hobo.
Pathetic.

Effort? It would have taken me an hour to draw what Azul did and atleast several hours to recreate what Paradox did. It helps being an artist of 15 years. Of course if Azul's picture was original then I would understand why he took so long but if it's just a pencil copy of a photo then that's very unoriginal and incredibly easy. So I'm guessing Azul didn't do the latter.
Nice entry but obviously not the kind they were looking for. Fun, humour, originality.
Oh and please don't be so insulting to Paradox, I'm guessing he enjoyed doing it, probably didn't think he'd win and not everyone is very artistic especially on a computer, he probably used a mouse as well.

You entered the competition, the rules clearly stated that points would be awarded for effort.
