What the fuck. This is one of the reasons why I was originally opposed to this sort of monthly prize money thing. People aren't interested in the artistic values, just the mindless entertainment.
I have to echo both Denvish and Rabid-Echidna's sentiments on this one. I voted this month for the first time in a couple because Kol-Belov had submitted another movie and it was AMAZING. Honestly, I don't think any other artist has such a firm grasp on the concept of camera effects as Kol-Belov does. Few can animate, draw, and coordinate so cleanly, yet time and time again his efforts go un-noticed because he doesn't take the easy way out with mindless entertainment.
The monthly best flash, I thought, was a way to get exposure and recognition to the awesome work that isn't already making the money with the work they're putting out. I feel it should be a nice surprise for the artists that work so hard expecting nothing in return to actually get something for their efforts.
That being said, I'm going to go completely hypocritical and congratulate Psycho_Goldfish for his award-winning game. It was and is definitely hotness.
The monthly winner of $100 (and a Walkman and t-shirt) is Aibou_Sephira!
Congratulations to that lucky girl. It'd make my week to have 100 extra bucks pocket money, a new walkman, and a brand new t-shirt. Hope she enjoys it.
