Hi Aguila,

Thank you for your submission. But that is nothing like i am looking for. Look at sams entry that is the closest so far. I need a dog wearing bling, rings neclaces and a watch. I hope you will try again. Thanks again.

 

[Aguila]

ok, u can have that one for free, for a backup or something

 

[sam2698]

Ill see what can be done to make it look better

My try

 

[AdamBurleigh]

Here's my entry:
[Widthdrawn, will have another soon]

 

[dawg]

fico and adam. Both are great!! It will be hard choice for sure.

 

[sam2698]

my revised entry

 

[dawg]

Sam you are right on track. You are in the lead so far because you have done exactly as i asked. The only think left in your design would be to put a blingy watch on his left hand and it would be perfect.

 

[AdamBurleigh]

I will have another entry soon.

 

[dawg]

thank you Adam. I think you know what I am after now. I look forward to see what you come up with.

 

[sam2698]

posting revised entry very soon

 

[AdamBurleigh]

I'd just like to point something out about sams entry that I noticed.
It looks like you have traced most things. The necklace to me certainly seems it's been cut out from another image. But my reason for thinking you have traced over images that you have found on the web is that, some how, the whole body is proportionate but you can't understand the simple perspective of legs? (in front of the chair) Proportions might seem fine to somebody who doesn't really do art, so i'll point out something more obvious.

I would even go as far as saying you have just cut out and pasted various different images on the web that you have found, to make the final piece you have, with the odd brush stroke you put in yourself.. Because the colouring for each seperate oject in the image doesn't just seem to be done in a different way, but it's also different quality. Some lines are blury (like the chair), some are stronger (like the chairs legs, almost as if you did put them in yourself, with a mouse no-less). And the way the dog's nose is all jagged - It's a tell-tail sign of poor cutting out with a lasso tool. I could say more about the matter but I think I have said enough. If I am wrong so be it, but I am calling you up on this, sam, because something really doesn't seem right, and from what I have seen of your entry so far for this competition I would be confident enough to call you a cheater.

 

[sam2698]

haha,
what are you accusing me of?
the only thing i cant make is a blinged out medallion so i used a image from the web and extra sharpened it to look blinged out.

i would like to see some evidence, because you are so confident i cheated that you made a post here disgracing me and accusing me.

please come forward with any evidence you find because clearly you are doubting my skills.

I dont care if the legs are not in prespective, for a $25 avatar contest i am not going to make sure everything is perfect and in proportion.
I gave my best effort and put forward a entry worth $25.

now you are pointing out flaws in my design and trying to accuse me of cheating?

You are criticising my entry more than a contest holder would.
Now please bring forward something to prove that iam a cheater
or kindly leave my path.

 

[AdamBurleigh]

Sam,
I am not willing to turn this into an argument for the contest holders sake. They are my thoughts on the matter and I wasn't going to leave it un-said for the sake of keeping my integrity if I was wrong. If I am, so be it and I apologise. I don't have evidence, they were my opinions based on my knowlage of illustration and graphics design and I felt they were worth mentioning. This is the last I am saying on the matter.
