Just A Thought.

I think the Challenge section needs a small addition. Challenge hosts should be able to post their reasons for picking the winners, explain why or how that piece was chosen as the best of the rest.
Well, put the assumption of me being a sore loser aside. Because, as competitive as I am, and as much as I reallyreallyreally wanna win challenges, I'm chill so long as the better man won. or chick, whatever.

The Self-portrait (: challenge:

  • Wasn't vaccumology's entry a photoshopped photo or whatever? If it wasn't, then bravo, it's an awesome digital product and I'll leave it at that.
  • Otherwise, I thought THIS:

    was uberly awesome. Because of how realtastic it looked. Well, the B&W created a strong impression, along with the serious expression.

  • a familiar face! by Natsu nii is pretty cool. And I respect those that can paint as well. So Congratulations :D
  • However, this next piece was a package deal. A realistic portrait painted with acrylics. It's a straightforward view of her face, no cutesy shots to the side or wide eyes looking up. I find that really brave and the product is beautiful. Oh! and the different colors. That definitely adds to this piece by MescaBoogie:

    Maybe she shot herself in the foot by stating, "It's not very creative but ehhhhh; it was my first time with acrylics." One of my teachers theatened to deduct 20 points if she heard more comments like that from her class before individual presentations.

  • But to be completely honest, THIS WAS MY FAVORITE:

    Really, it was. And hell, this is creativity. And so cute.

So then, my intention in writing this was not to belittle anyone else's work, nor was it to boost support for mine. And so what if I disagree with the challenger's choices? It's my personal opinion.
