[Contest] Ultimate Graphix

[w/e]

Yeah, I'm impatient to get it started.

Ok, I am closing the contest.
Here it is the Poll. If you missed the thread and you still want to submit something, sorry, but more than a week passed with no WIPs or new submissions. Maybe next time.

Judging done, thus the winners are finally decided!

I am glad to announce that the first place goes to guitarplay, with the Gun image, the second place goes to J, with the Blue image and the third place goes to Whitesock, with the Planets image.

Here are the ratings:

_
Utator Ultimated
|--Creativity/Originality: 12 [The idea of the image belongs to Jindo, indeed, so it is original from this point of view, but it's not the first Utator I see.]
|--Details: 8 [I like the blue flames around the Utator, but, the inside of it is a bit empty and boring. I also see that you gave special attention to the text. I don't like that big parts of it are blurred.]
|--Effort: 7 [I suppose that the rectangles inside the Utator and the flames took a while,but the background looks a bit too simple, on a first sight.]
|--General Appealing: 8 [Generally, I don't like the blurred/clear areas balance. It just bothers me. The colors are ok, except the white on the text, a bit.]
|-->My rating: 35
|-->Votes: 5
|--->Total: 40
_
Invidualism
|--Creativity/Originality: 14 [I'd say that the idea of a lonely person is not that oiginal, but the way you represent it is really interesting and new to me.]
|--Details: 14 [I like that you interpreted the difference between humans through the variation of crayons.]
|--Effort: 7 [Well, I bet that arraning the crayons took a while, but, in the computer editing part, I don't see much effort, except the text and the borders (maybe a color effect, I can't say for sure).]
|--General Appealing: 10 [I really like this one. The sepia effects gives a great feeling and the picture actually has a concept.]
|-->My rating: 45
|-->Votes: 5
|--->Total: 50
_
The Umbrella 
|--Creativity/Originality: 15 [The idea is, again, very interesting and, even if you just captured a natural phenomenon, I will give you maximum points.]
|--Details: 13 [The subject beign something that the nature created, the photo is highly detailed.]
|--Effort: 5 [It seems that the effort envolved in creating this one is even smaller than at the other one. You took the photo, then added text and border. Thus the low grade.]
|--General Appealing: 9 [Again, an apealing image. The umbrella looks awesome, frozen like that.]
|-->My rating: 42
|-->Votes: 5
|--->Total: 47

Blue 
|--Creativity/Originality: 12 [Well, it is an abstract design, you can't talk too much about originality here...However, the image has some interesting elements.]
|--Details: 13 [The image has a blank spot, but that's for the sake of balance, so it doesn't bother me too much.]
|--Effort: 7 [Well, i think that brushes were a great help here :P.]
|--General Appealing: 9 [Nice pic, the colors are wonderful.]
|-->My rating: 41

Teal
|--Creativity/Originality: 10 [Again, abstract desing, but the elements in this one are not that original.]
|--Details: 9 [There are a few blank spots and the image, is not as detailed as the other one.]
|--Effort: 7 [Looks like some random smudging and a lot of filters.]
|--General Appealing: 7 [Well, can't say that I love the colors and the image is overall a bit boring.]
|-->My rating: 33
|-->Votes: 0
|--->Total: 33
_
Planets
|--Creativity/Originality: 5 [A galactic view is not original at all, sorry]
|--Details: 15 [At this point, the image is really good, the planets and the background beign highly detailed. Yet, the background could have used a bit randomization. However, this is the most detailed image so far.]
|--Effort: 9 [Well, I bet that filters where a great help, but the image looks like it involved a lot of effort, overall.]
|--General Appealing: 9 [Great one, I like it a lot. However, the only thing that bothers me is the closest planet, it just doesn't looks really good to me.]
|-->My rating: 38
|-->Votes: 20
|--->Total: 58
_
Gun
|--Creativity/Originality: 8 [Not really original, especially that you used a refference pic.]
|--Details: 14 [Well, it is highly detailed, starting from the reflection of the shadow to all the fences in the gun.]
|--Effort: 10 [From my previous 3D modeling experiences, I know that there is much effort involved here. In my opinion, at least.]
|--General Appealing: 9 [I like it. The gun could have been a more interesting one, but is good, none-the-less.]
|-->My rating: 41

Sorry to go off-topic, but Guitarplay.. do you happen to be a member of the Turbosquid.com forums? Because I saw those 2 pics only a few days ago there.

 

[monoVertex]

Hmmm... may I have a link to those pics?

I know I saw the pic of the gun earlier, but I can't find it for a sec. Ill post it as soon as I find it. Getting late >_<

 

[guitarplay]

Thank you, and i appreciate everyone who voted for me, and am glad to have wone .

I do know of turbo squid yes, and i can assure you, i did not copy my artwork from anyone elses. The gun, however, is a fairly known gun due to the fact that it is the toomb raider gun so if someone has made a model of it i would not be surprised. I would however, not post on turbosquid with this pic either because its a blender model, and turbosquid is not a lagre blender community, however there is a blender artists forum that i do post on.

As for the guitar?? im not sure what your getting at, maby that i recently changed my avatar to one. Its a fender telecaster, which the other is not. It is some sort of fantasy guitar bassed off a mix of a telecaster and stratocaster??

Woot, I came second?
Feels like years since I made that sig, hopefully we'll see another contest like this, but with shorter time (2 weeks or so)

<3

 

[monoVertex]

Maybe I'll make a second edition, but no so soon .
