MadJik Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 @pyjo: I saw(imagined) myself use PDN as a painter (Picasso, VanGogh, etc...). Their images are totally free hand drawn. They could use tools, but we can't duplicate any part of the image... Ok thanks for your comment, I'm ready to remove my entry if any one ask me to...

k.digennaro Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Pyjo, i apreciate all the help from you. im sorry i havent been on the last day or so cus computer issues, im back up and running now though. Anyhow, I need at least a paper model, to be able to see/take the dimension properly, using my ruller, on my desktop... Or I will first hand-draw on a paper (with mm grid) to find the shape I want to have, then report it in PDN. These technics are different methods for the same result somehow... I'm not the owner of this constest, so I can only suggest rules. However my suggestion is that ANY pre-existent digital model should be avoided. In a free-handing drawing your hand should be free from the need of tightly following a model. You can make a pixel-by-pixel copy of a digital photo using only the color picker and the pencil tool, but this is a very boring activity that has nothing to do with creativity and artistic flair. Applying a grid on a photo and copying it in PdN is only a smarter way to do basically the same thing: the creative process remains at a very low level and, above all, the hand is not "free" as the title of the contest requires. (This doesn't mean that the ability of replicating an existing picture in PdN is not valuable at all. There may be a contest in which a picture is proposed and all participants try to rebuild it in PdN). I actually think that also every kind of paper-based 2d models should be avoided, and only real-world 3d object should possibly be used as a model: evaluating proportions and creating the 2d artwork from the 3d model is up to the dot-net-painter ability. I know however that this rule will be considered too restrictive by most PdN users, and it in not realistic since it cannot be enforced in any way. I therefore whish to suggest another way for managing this contest. After the deadline and before voting, participants will post some details about the techniques they used and publish some screenshots of the key points of their work-in-progress (every participant is implicitly assumed to be honest, of course). Then the voting process will take into account both the final result and the creativity expressed in the development of the picture. I'm working on a project for this contest, but unfortunately I have very little time to spent with PdN this week. I hope to succeed in posting my picture before the deadline so that I'll have the chance to better explain what I mean with these proposed rules. Bye Pyjo. Great idea pyjo, unfortuantly some people have already submitted for this contest so i think this rule would have to start on the next round, if its cool with you maybe i could send you a PM and you could help me better right these rules for the next contest round so people arent so confused. i agree that you should not be able to use any pre-existent model im going to add that to the rules to make sure its heard. thanks again pjyo!

david.atwell Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well, if you take a look at the other contests (SotW, MSC, Representation, etc) you'll see that their contest threads are all sticky'd, but the discussion threads are not. This one's contest thread is sticky'd; I don't see a need for the discussion thread to be, too. :-) Â The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

k.digennaro Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 any one have suggestions on the best way to do the voting for this contest? would a poll be the best way? Support Our Troops, End The War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'd suggest against a poll; it provides too much opportunity for a "mob" effect. I suggest PMs - that's how CMD handles the voting for the SotW contest. Â The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

k.digennaro Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 jerk for this time you can change it, but in the future that will not be allowed, the reasoning for allowing you to edit it is simply because the rules were not clear and you were one of the first to enter. the voting is approaching quickly, i edited the contest rules in the entry thread adding what i thought would be the best way to do the voting for this contest, please let me know your thoughts on this. thanks kevin Support Our Troops, End The War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k.digennaro Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 just remember today and tomorrow are the last days you can submit an entry. the voting will then start the 25th. you get two votes a piece, you must vote for two images(first and second favorites). you may not vote for yourself. if the voting rules are broken the votes simply won't count.
