These contests are made specifically for those who enjoy drawing...recreationally, professionally, whatever. Any generosity on our behalf should be overlooked completely...the goal of every contest is simply to rally artists together to have fun and draw shit. Nobody should be forcing out pictures in hopes of winning something - if you win, cool, if not, no loss! YOU LIKE DRAWING, REMEMBER?
I didn't draw the picture specifically to win, but once I got into it I really went to town on it, and, when I had finished, I was pretty content that it held merit enough to get a mention unless it breached the rules that you had in mind.
It just gets on my tits to see that I did, in my eyes, a worthy piece, as did a few others who didn't get a mention, and I really wouldn't have minded, but then a couple of twenty minute, half decent entries do. Not to say that they're bad, just that they're not as good as some of the others.
I don't know why it annoys me because I'm not really looking for glory or the prizes, but it just does.
Also, I'm in no position to criticize artwork. If you need criticism, talk to one of these other self-proclaimed talent authorities that lurk around here. I'm sure they'd gladly ruin your day with a hearty smirk...or hell, any artist's day, for that matter.
I think you took that wrong. I just wanted to know if my picture was within the guidelines and whether or not you thought that it was shit, or good, or meh.

Hmm, after reading back on that, it looks like I have egotistical issues with a touch of arrogance. I am a little drunk.
Well done to all the winners though, I was very impressed by Liftyourskinnyfists and Edmund as well as a few others that weren't mentioned who, ironically, I won't mention.
