Battle of the Sexes TD--Gentlemen Post Finals Here

**Ilaekae** · February 9th, 2009, 04:11 PM

This thread is for the posting of all final entries by your gender team ONLY. You can post WIPS if you feel you need some help, but make sure we know what your final is for the poll.

Try to keep trash talk and chatter in these two threads to a minimum, unless you're offering advice.

You don't HAVE to post early--you can wait til last minute, but if you would really like to get some input from your fellow competitors, this is the place and time to do it...

I know most of the Ladies have probably been using the Ladies Only Forum for this purpose, so just to be fair, we're making it possible for the guys to do it, too...just in public.

**SMILEFACE** · February 12th, 2009, 08:46 PM

this contest has had a really big impact on me and the way i see things . it has taught me to hold on to the innocence we all possess

**Jazz** · February 12th, 2009, 08:48 PM

Grandmassa, which one are you gonna pick? O_O

Oh crap! I said something here! I'm sorry! >_< I won't do it again.

**SMILEFACE** · February 12th, 2009, 08:49 PM

i m not sure i got one more can i do them all?

**Ilaekae** · February 12th, 2009, 08:59 PM

Jazz', you can comment. I just don't want a lot of trash going on...

**SMILEFACE** · February 12th, 2009, 09:10 PM

alright this is my last one i will attach my username and battle of the sexes to my final enrtries

**Ilaekae** · February 12th, 2009, 09:16 PM

Grandma, I would pick at most two, because otherwise, you'll be watering your own impact down. Concentrate on one or two and get 'em to the highest level you can. Most of your competition are going for one highly controlled piece, but there's actually never been anything in the rules about entering more than one...

**spaztastic** · February 12th, 2009, 09:16 PM

Spect I have to say I like the last one the best, it conveys the idea the best also. good luck not that you will need any

**kelly x** · February 12th, 2009, 11:18 PM

Go Granny! I agree with Jazz W, the deer hunters, I would try to drop the dad's shoulders he'll look more comforting to his sad little boy.

**Dani Duck** · February 13th, 2009, 01:56 AM

Wait, we can enter more than one? Not that I will, but we could in theory?

**spaztastic** · February 13th, 2009, 10:00 AM

yes we could... I was going to , but listened to Kelly's words of wisdom so I could get one done well. plus I take for ever to draw cause i get OCD on the damn things. bah. yeah spect lower the shoulder, right now it looks like he is trying to push the kid off.... and add some F&%KING LIGHTNING!!!!! (hee hee inside joke)

**kelly x** · February 13th, 2009, 10:26 AM

Grandmother, I know the deer one is the one to do, I woke up thinking about this one and how my brother wanted to be this big tough little kid, we went out shooting targets and he decided to try at a bird, shot the bird and then started crying because he felt so bad he killed it for no reason (he was about 6) this is a loss of innocence and will be a great story piece. The Dad's hat placement is a bit wonky... just up high... nice.

**SMILEFACE** · February 13th, 2009, 11:04 AM

LOL SPAZ and thanks KELLY X for shareing the great/sad story and thank you both for

RRRRROOOCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK'N i moved the shoulder not sure if i got it right if you think it should be deffirent let me know and i just got that about the hat so ill try some stuff o yeah did i mention yall

RRRRROOOCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK( im gunna keep editing this post tell the final to save space)

**kelly x** · February 13th, 2009, 05:36 PM

Hey Guys don't be all freaked out, it's OK to post, so far five girls have posted in various stages of completion, and one guy??

**tsujni** · February 13th, 2009, 07:23 PM

Perhaps, I fail somewhere along the conceptualization and/or articulation of this thing here. I'm interested in exploring the loss of innocence as the conflict between the way things are and the way they "should" be. I'm thinking along the lines of unfulfilled dreams, desires, etc and the destruction of hero types.
So here I'll try to communicate the loss of my first dream, that of becoming the spaceman.

**chaosrocks** · February 13th, 2009, 08:30 PM

grandma, you might want to reanalyse your composition, you have a dead tree walling off the entire left hand side, as well as the gun and figures being very static, horizontal and vertical with out atthing to lead the eye around, the compositional welements of the orange are forming a composition
but I don't really understand whythe dad is smirking and taking off his son's hat.....

**kelly x** · February 13th, 2009, 11:15 PM

tsujni, nice you've stepped up and I like it, do you use painter? Beautiful colors and you should do one of your poems for this piece, not joking. Nice.
Granny, I agree with Chaos, she offers good things.

**spaztastic** · February 13th, 2009, 11:47 PM

tsujni I like color palette you are using. I agree bout the poem also, you have a great way with words put it to use.

**SMILEFACE** · February 14th, 2009, 12:50 AM

tsujni that RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKSSSSSS!!! !!!!! and CHAOS you RRRRRRROOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCKKKKKKK i was going for the kid just shot the mamma deer bambies mom(hince the dubble whammy ) and the kid dived in to comfort of his dad poping his hat off and the dad is smirking because hes a guy he remebers what its like but now hes a man ill keep try'n to work it to make more sense thanks so much for the feedback.

**tsujni** · February 14th, 2009, 09:27 AM

Spaz, Kelly, I'm uncomfortable with calling any of my word collages "poems".
I say collages because I don't write poems, I assemble them from others work.
That work can be a song, poem, literature, pop culture, etc - However, they are always someone else work, I just rearrange and re-read. Although, your suggestion that I create an arrangement to accompany the image has gotten my attention. Thanks!

Kelly, all done is PS.

Grandmassa, thanks and I gonna try an crit your composition. I just have to think a bit.

**RyerOrdStar** · February 14th, 2009, 10:22 AM

That's gorgeous, tsujni!

Makes me less apprehensive about doing my own piece, since I don't do the concept-art style; I was a little worried about doing something actually conceptual.

**tsujni** · February 14th, 2009, 12:30 PM

wip update 2

I kinda not liken this comp, but I luvs the astronaut!

**SMILEFACE** · February 14th, 2009, 12:49 PM

**spaztastic** · February 14th, 2009, 01:01 PM

hey spect I'll try and do a PO cause i suck at using my words.... it's the fighter in me.... fists over words.... hehehe yeah I still need anger management

**tsujni** · February 14th, 2009, 01:17 PM

Grandmassa, I posted a PO in your sketchbook. Cannot justify my position in any way, your mileage may vary.

**kelly x** · February 14th, 2009, 03:56 PM

Hi and better Grandma, the composition is better, Tsujni, I don't know I like it without, why would he be there??

**tsujni** · February 14th, 2009, 05:55 PM

I know I feel the same, but, I love him. He is a self reflected image of a denied future. Yeah, I went to art school.

**SMILEFACE** · February 14th, 2009, 06:30 PM

hey its just an idea but what if you scaled the space man down a bit like pushed him back and still keep the traingle comp just an idear
