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 liked Azul's - it made me feel all warm inside.
And you can't kill Neil Buchanan - he gave us Nazareth!

I really dont see what the problem was. Think about it. Everyone has different tastes in what they like. Obviousley Paradox created something that caught the eye of the judge, like people said before a lil bit of humour. All the entries were good and they were all very different. Just accept it, your Master peace would have probably won if it was in a bit more of a serious competition.
No insult to Paradox (If I'd have won with that pile of toss, I'd be super-happy), but there is NO WAY that design ever deserved to win.
I know how Azul feels. When it used to be all 3 GAD's, I used to enter the review one quite often, entering quite average reviews. I thought I had a chance of wnning, sometimes, especially when the only other competition was 'GTA5ROOLS' and other reatrded screennames. Then, when I go to check, I found out that a 12 lined, illeterate review about how GTA is 'rlly cool'.
Nothing's changed.

To be honest, when I saw Azul's drawing (50% complete) I was sure it was going to win. It wasn't one generic design that was variated 10 times, it was a textured, detailed, insightful and overall impressive piece of art.
The same can not be said about Paradox's.

But Paradox's pictures were as funny as cancer.
I think they deleted the thread now but I'm sure the competition implied that it was for a laugh. It had to have some elements of creativity, humour and of course effort. Paradox obviously didn't spend just 5 minutes doing all the pictures, okay his entries could have been a little better and it would have been nice to see some of the other staff members but then I can understand why they chose him over a very nice drawing of Tony, someone who wasn't judging the competition and most people aren't familiar with.
Perhaps if this was just an art competition then things may have turned out differently, but I think the emphasis was more on humour rather than artistic skill.
Congratulations Paradox well done :)

But he never posted a link in this thread. His fault i havn't seen it.
[S]I thought H2O's were the best[/S]
Yeah. Not as well drawn as Azuls, but it has some element of humour, making it better.
