I voted for you...but then again, I am mad, aren't I?

HA HA HAAAAAAA.

...

I nulled. But deep inside my heart... I voted for you. =D

I dunno...Hahli appears more than capable of taking care of herself.

I voted Bambush over Flame of Anor because it's got more Bionicle flavour and more pizzazz. I guess I can't discount the points for originality of material and fem-ness, either.

Voting for Schizo? The most natural thing in the world!

Well, it looks like I'll need more practice... again. It's rather frustrating to look at my old winning entries, which are painfully amateuristic in retrospect. My current skills, both in drawing and CGing are much better now, but I'm still lagging behind other artists when it comes to that.

Of course, it looks like I'll be second, which is a great accomplishment as well, but it's still 'only' second best, you know? I'm going to have to find the time (somehow!) to improve my CG skills... I feel it's an obligation towards myself - what I made is good, especially for a rushed entry, but I feel I have to get better.

Feh. I'll probably be going through this speech again during the next BBC contest, too. At least I'm still proud of my winning MOCs, which I still consider to be among my best.

Mistake #1: Entering in the "Computer Asisted" catagory only for CG. With the programs out there today, someone could stamp much more than just CG on a drawing. See: ToM Dracone.

Perhaps...next time CGing it by hand to enter in "Hand Drawn"?

Just a thought.

*cough*: I did vote for you btw.

What, use paint and colouring pencils? As if. I prefer Photoshop for colouring. Plus I'd lose the experience I've built up in the Computer Assisted category, whereas I haven't touched a colouring pencil in ages.

And just how many mistakes have I been making, considering you started with #1?

True. Just a thought though, just to consider your posibilities.

Oh, that was meant as a metaphor, sorry for any confusion. You didn't make any mistakes.

I'm actually quite surprised that I came in second with such a large amount of the votes. BKoD's entry I thought would be second instead of mine.

Regardless of my poll placement, I still feel this is one of my better works, though Hahli moreso than the Rahkshi. Methinks I should make a complete Rahkshi design, without the Chines soldier clothing used for the entry. I'll probably go with Turahk, so I can use several lovely shades of red.

How can you say no to a damsel in distress?

As follows:

"Oh, now you want my help. I been tryin' to ask you out for about 3 months now, but you kept sayin' you 'ain't interested.' But no, as soon as someone tries to hurt you, now you need me. I don't need to deal with this. Try thinkin' stuff over next time before ya turn a guy down!"

Lol.

I couldn't resist... Maybe I've been watching too much TV...

Oh, and congrats on 2nd place, schiz!
