Forum competition! Final round has started!

[Teeth]

My avatar is the best because he's a crazy robot who appears to be killing machine but is actually a very emotional person. He's special because he is from the anime Redline. All the characters in Redline, including Little Deyzuna, have very specific character designs and a lot of effort was put into making the overall design and movie. The movie took 5 years to make as each frame was hand-drawn (which is a rare thing to see these days in modern anime). Also the use of colours and Little Deyzuna's colour palette is appealing to the eyes as it steers away from traditional anime line and colour styles.

Little Deyzuna is a big brawn figure who can easily crush people with the size of his body. He isn't the only one of his size as he is a commoner among the ranks of the Robot Army. He wears a coat along with a cape. He also wears a helmet that covers his forehead to appear more evil and badass (but really, he isn't.). He is the only one of the robots from Robot World to participate in Redline.

We don't know what is under that helmet so I can't say anything about his hair. He only follows the orders of his general and happily beats people up. He doesn't use any guns outside of the Redline Race but he does use machine guns attached to his vehicle during several races. He doesn't wear any other type of outfit except for his Robot Army Uniform.

I like my avatar because, it's BAF well designed, proper use of shading/lighting it's uncommon; It shows the darker side of the character. It should be judged as best because, it's not overly used, it is graphically pleasing. It represents a character with a dark destiny that takes it into his hands and chooses the opposite path. He's also a priest.

-My character wears his robes when in human form. A darker form of robes when in Crusnik 02 stage.
-He uses a scythe with a flexible end with blades off the flexible end. (thing of a scythe with a whip attached to the bottom with blades protruding off the whip. In a elegant crimson design,color.)
-Abel has white hair in human form, lower back length with a ponytail in the back. With other strands leading down his face. In Crusnik Form it is raised above his face turning gray swirling in weird powerful strands.
-His feathers on his wings in Crusnik form are black as a ravens preened and washed regularly with a scent of death to Vampires.
-his human robes are black with an off white hem on the edges, with white shoulder plates with red crosses for design. Gold clasps around the top of his zipper as well as gold on his sleeves. Also white gloves with red crosses on them.
-His Crusnik stage is the same but with the BAF hair, scythe, Wings, red eys, Fangs.

Crusnik is a vampire who feeds on Vampires.

There's 15 of them, so I can't see why I can't judge from 1st to 15th...

*Sigh* I'll try the one-to-ten scale.

BUT! I'll have to break it down by each art fundamental and average it out as well!

Line! A moving dot, essential in the creation of art! Quality define the line's weight! Texture! Width! Length!
Shape! Enclosed 2-Dimensional areas!
Form! Depth on a 2D image!
Value! Lighting!
Space! Perception, objects, and the use of them!
Colors! The very emotion of the image!
Texture! I want to reach out and feel it!


I might not have been to art school but I sure listened in art class!

I'm quite not sure what you mean by that. Are you talking about the judging? Like - some avatars have more straght/curved lines, they have more colors, or the textures? Well yes i think you can judge them like that.

@Dare Should I post my judging results here or send it to you in a pm?

Better will be a pm, we can discuss the ranking there.

[Dare]

but all of those suck
i vote for mine

I am just here to say, my old avatar is the best

That's nice from both of you, I can agree that your avatars are best because each of them is original maybe even unique.
But this competition not about glorifying your own avatar.
Both of you win ... end of competition.

[Somnium]

He's speaking of the way he judges the pictures. He's taking eac picture and breaking them down into the critical areas of a images design. Such as Lines. How they are used. thickness, Empty space within the picture. and how it's utilized. All that Art class BS I hated.

Thanks for explain, the competition continues, art class wasn't that kind of BS for me, but sadly, I left it a long time ago. I almost can't even draw a picture now. Well i approve this what Za said.

I will PM you my description before the dead line

[ZaPhobos]

My rankings on the artworks have been sent in.

Soft lines, hard lines. Cold features. Soft texture. Sleek texture. "OH JESUS WHY IS THAT SO GOOD."

Let me give a few honorable mentions:
Teeth got extra points for use of space, not many used as much positive space. The lines gave good definition to the image.
Fyunix got points for value and intensity of colors, as well as texture.
Demo got some for value and intensity as well. Soft lines also made the picture easier to look at.
razor got points for monochromatic color scheme, with various values.
Electrix, while hard to see, got points for shading, but lost some for negative space.
VerstehIchNicht got some for the soft lines as well as shading and value.

Code: Select all

[18:42] < Dareville> Eldred can you write something about your avatar - like 40-80 words?
[18:42] < Dareville> then i would sign you up
[18:43] < EldredChandler> link me the thread I suppose

Hi my name is Eldred and this is my avatar;


My avatar is special because it's the main character of a video game about video games, that was later turned into and anime. In this picture, she wears a Christmas hat, so it is proper for the season the competition occurs in. She uses big swords to fight robots and goos who are also part dog. Also she is a goddess, literally and figuratively. Look at that face, how can that not be perfect?
