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.
Para's submissions: [URL]http://fosco.tk[/URL]
My own: [URL]http://firestorm.staghosting.com/images/other/tontysketch.jpg[/URL]
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.

Drawing ability eh? Well that's funny because had you read them, the rules clearly stated that it wasn't just about who had drawn the best picture/pictures, it was also about who had put in the most effort. You drew, what? One picture? Para entered a whole website with several Fosco pictures that, to be honest, were fairly impressive considering each one was done in paint. Oh, and perhaps Fosco looks quite like the characters Para drew, as that was another thing the judges were looking to see. Now quit moaning and don't use the "Oh, I’ll never win again now" ploy, because you'll get another chance.
> NOW who is the cretin. Oaf.
I weep.

To be honest, i think para's were lame. And there were alot better ones.
But what I've done in the past has nothing to do with my drawing ability and shouldn't be corresponded into the competition.
NOW who is the cretin. Oaf.

Stop whining you cretin. I'm in the same boat as you and you don't see me complaining, because at the end of the day, what have you actually lost by entering? I'm not surprised that the SR staffies don't take a shine to you either when you consider your large amount of "updete GAD now ffs!" comments you have posted their way, on top of the fact that you previously cheated to win.
Stop moaning and consider yourself lucky they still let you enter, just think of the amount of games you've screwed out of them in the past, eh?

Well, this whole compo's a bit screwed. I thought I'd win and I really hope I did, as the staffies (well, AB1000) aren't exactly happy with me because I asked them to update GAD. I thought this'd be pretty much the only time I'd be able to win again.
Losing to Azul would've been worthy. But I lost to someone who can barely just draw South Park characters well. Sorry, but it has to be said.

I agree with what Notorious Biggles said. Hit the nail on the head with that one.
Who's Fosco anyway?
