Poll for potential future art contest

[Celtic_Emperor]

Well there's a vote of confidence. Thanks!

Nope. I like the idea of seeing different approaches to the same scenario. I think the word "contest" got people bunched up from the beginning and now everyone is overthinking it. I only used anime as an example of where it'd be okay to judge. Knowing that it's style has large eyes, unique highlights in hair, etc... things you can always look for... it makes it okay to say [for example] "Vlad really nailed the anime style on this one. It looks pro. Line weight is good and the coloring is consistent." But you can't compare the art of Masters of the Universe to Beavis and Butthead or everyone will say B&B loses because it sucks by comparison. It looks scribbled. Southpark blows them away with ratings and merchandising and it looks like Helen Keller draws for them. So what's better?

If you want a level playing field, do something simple that won't exclude people not into anime, cat people, role playing, etc. And make them generic characters so you don't have to try to mimic the style of the Family Guy or some other recognizable cartoon. Otherwise people just be copying stuff. Throw out a scenario, number of characters, specify a gender, an area being worked over, etc and let them run.

I also think it'd be interesting for people to do a line drawing and let someone else color it. Someone can take the submissions and distribute them and see what comes back. At one of my past companies, we used to take 15 minutes and do a floor plan for a trade show. Then we'd take our floor plan and pass it to the person two chairs down to the left and they would draw a perspective drawing based on what they thought our floor plan was showing. We got some nice stuff out of it. Again, just a thought, but it opens your mind to a new look at your stuff. If you put 100 drawings from the forum down in front of me, I could tell you who did them. People draw inside boxes for the most part and experiment very little. There are a few exceptions here and you know who you are. But I'd like to see Vlad color an Umojar and Ness color a Snail Shell or Kalamos color a Cheshire, etc. It's all in fun, so don't reply about artistic integrity.

I want to again say that we haven't even agreed upon a theme to draw from. Once we do the artists will agree to draw something that has to do with it. For it to be fair it should be something not associated with what they're best at, otherwise its not a personal challenge and its a give-away with the other artists. Anime is the common theme on this site, so it should be removed. If the artists had to draw an animal, like a bird or a fruit like an apple, that would be more challenging than it appears, since no one here has displayed a previous aptitude in those types of things.

It will put the artists in uncharted territory, and THATS what makes this fair as they're all in the same situation. What will help an artist out however is their ability to transition and adapt. Some will naturally be able to do this better than others. How do we deal with them and what do we say about it?

I am very glad that you are seeing what I am meaning.

The overall idea here could be interesting, but you've got almost a dozen posts with potential problems already and no one has even put a pencil to paper yet.

My first thought is don't make it a contest with a "winner". Just because a certain song gets voted number one on the radio's "Top 8 at 8pm" doesn't make it the best song, it makes it the one with the most votes from about 50 people.

The majority here draw very basically. A few have a grip. And a few know what they're doing. I agree with some of the posts above about style. My two cents is to come up with a topic and have everyone who wants to participate do their interpretation of it and the thread is enjoyed as a showcase of different thought processes, styles, and techniques. Dividing people into skill level classes is a bad idea. And there would probably be alot of people who would think "There's no way I could beat Umojar [for example] or win if Nessie's involved [for example], so I just won't even bother" and they'd do nothing at all.

I was going to post in this thread yesterday, thankfully I waited until today. What nerrad said pretty much sums up everything I think about the subject too.

To be perfectly honest, I think everyone who's interested in drawing at all is already contributing here, so I doubt this'll turn over a rock and discover a bunch of new artists. But I say leave it open to everyone, put a topic out there, and just see how everyone addresses it differently.

You are a wise one Nerrad.

To have a contest and winner, I'd think it's more appropriate to narrow it down and say "We're having an anime-style contest" where everyone would be shooting for the same goal and judging would be less subjective and based completely on the boundaries set by professional anime art.

I have spoken. I am wise. Do it my way.

This would have been my main concern and reason to reply. Since styles are so very different from one another, I personally don't believe it would be fair to compare something done in manga/anime style with something done in a western style, not because one is better than the other but because they are SO different. Also, there are some people that favor one style over the other.

I favor nerrads suggestion of narrowing things down, perhaps dividing the submissions into different sections besides the begginer, intermediate and advanced categories.

As for myself, I'd participate if this was done more as a display than a contest. If it is to be a contest you can probably count me out of it.

P.S. Somehow the popularity contest thing does seem like a major issue

Exactly my point, put in much better words 😀

Love the idea, you can count me in for something like that 🙂

Not to take anything away from what you said, but some would consider a display and a contest to be the same thing, just unnofficially treated as such.

My whole viewpoint with this is why we need to tip-toe around terms like "winner" and such. If everyone honestly believes everyone that participates is a winner and people believe that is true no matter what happens, then why do I sense such tension around the subject and reality of some people simply "out-displaying" others? Its like people don't want to see that happen but its going to happen no matter what people label it as.

This isn't something we can mask, right? So why pretend like its not there?

I think people do deserve an extra something for doing an exceptional job. Since we cannot give then anything, calling them a "winner" is the best we can do. Its not to take away from anybody else, since everyone tried is is morally and in spirit a winner, but if these outstanding persons cannot be acknowledged just because it makes some uncomfortable then why are we willing to acknowledge them for being as great as they are outside of contests (like in their art threads)?

I'm still trying to understand the mentality that creates a difference between how we praise our exceptionals in a contest and how we do outside of one. If you ask me, they're the same thing. Its just the situation that makes people uncomfortable, but how is that any different because you're posting a reply to them in a thread or you're declaring them a "winner" in a contest? Aren't they a "winner" in both cases? The two are very similar, perhaps with the only difference being you have to actually choose your favorite and declare this outloud for everyone to see. If this crosses loyalty and friendship issues then I don't think people who cannot be unbias should take part in these types of things. They are clearly too conflicted for any good to come from this.

I understand what you're saying, and it's a good opinion. My view on it is different though, I think contests tend to be a little elitist. For example, if you have a music talent contest, and you have some people playing the piano, others the violin and others play the ukelele; I'd say the ukelele guys are screwed. And it's not because they are any less talented or something of the sort, but because certain things just are favored over others. You see what I'm getting at?

I also don't believe that a display and a contest are the same thing either,while you could turn a display into a contest and viceversa, it is not a given. I mean, when you go to a museum and look at pantings, you don't have to pick a winner. You may have a favorite painting, but that doesn't mean it's the best one in technoque or style, nor does it mean it will be the favorite of the person standing next to you.

This is just my view on things. If you want to make an art contest go ahead and do it, you can take the suggestions I have made into account or not, it's probably your call in the end anyway since you are the one trying to put this whole thing together.

On praising pics outside of a contest and inside one, well, as far as I can tell, most artists posting on the art forum get just as much prasing as the next one regardless of their ability or whatever. You can always tell when someone REALLY knows what they are doing, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate someone else making an effort.

I am in no way saying that a contest should be sugar coated, IF it is a contest, then mostly everything you have stated would be correct as to how things should be evaluated.

This was the next thing I was gonna post. Well put.

I've seen nothing but compliments so far for just about everything posted. From what I've seen, the entire community has been very supportive of every skill level. And I also remember just about everyone being pretty humble and honest about their own abilities.

I still really like the idea and would suggest throwing the parameters out there and getting people started on it before all this long posting and conversation dampens enthusiasm about it. I don't think this would be divisive, I think it'd prompt a landslide of artistic fellowship.

Seeing that everything you said would apply if this wasn't a contest, then we're in agreement.

However, this is a contest, and so you are in agreement with me, by your own words.

With what I have suggested to accomidate our different skill levels, I don't see how this is elitist. If people like me and nerrad started rubbing it in people's faces, that would be one thing, but I'm not too sure I understand why people look down on a good, heathly contest.

Are they really having an issue with the contest, or an issue with themselves?

I've been to many art sites and other websites and whenever someone suggests or holds a contest it gets done quickly and with little talk over the matter, and these people don't even know eachother. Its quick, its simple, and theres no issue. Here, we do know eachother, so theres no reason to be tense, apprehensive, or uncertain and we should just try and trust what eachother is saying.

I'm not being stubborn or argumentive, I'm just trying to understand why this is a problem for some people. Perhaps if they were to post and be honest with their feelings rather than hint at their dismay for it, I'd be more inclined to just make this a talent show or something, and not a contest.

But before we eliminate a contest I want a darn good reason for it, and preferably without the analogies, examples, and what not. Thats just beating around the bush. To put it another way- someone talk english to me.

Thats true. So then why is a contest a problem? With the equal ammount of praise people get, and their fans chanting them on, why should not coming out on top be a problem? For the sake of it being a contest, someone has to win. "We're all winners" is nice and great, but I don't see the point in this even happening if its not a contest.

I still really like the idea and would suggest throwing the parameters out there and getting people started on it before all this long posting and conversation dampens enthusiasm about it. I don't think this would be divisive, I think it'd prompt a landslide of artistic fellowship.

This is what I have been doing, but nobody but yourself and a couple others are biting. In the meantime, this side conversation is pretty relevant, I'd say. If its making people uncomfortable, they should just say so.

Sometimes people need to be more frank and open, like I am. Otherwise other people are going to have their way. Thats just how it is in life.

I never really saw this as an arguement, in my eyes it's nothing more than suggestions(on all sides).

As I said already, in the end it will probably be your choice to make, you can organize the contest or decide not to, that's up to you.

You should take into account that this is not an art forum or website, it is a tickling forum, and not a very big percentage of it's members are artists. I only say this because I believe that it makes it really important to make the division of categories(if they are to be made) accordingly to this as one of the most important factors.

I would encourage you to start with defining the rules, categories and whatever else is needed. As not having any of those things may cause this contest to be less appealing. I for one am reluctant to participate mostly because of this, perhaps I have made some wrong assumptions, but you can't blame me for it, nor could you blame anyone else for doing the same since all the info that has been actually given is "art" and "contest".

One last thing. If this contest takes place, I'd like to suggest Nerrad and LBH as possible judges.

 

[Janus4385]

Oh, I forgot one thing... in regards to the elitist part. I said that precisely to encourage a well thought division of categories

No problem. 🙂 I just wanted to clarify that I'm not meaning to sound argumentive if that was the way you were taking it. Because you see that I'm not, then nevermind then.

Anywho, I get what you're saying about this not being an art site, but remember that the people concerned are artists. Its not like we're asking just any member to grab a pencil and do this thing (although if they wanted to they certain though), we're calling out our artists. Artists are artists, it doesn't matter where you find them. I have faith in our artists to be able to handle this, even if they may not (not saying they don't) have faith in themselves.

I never would have suggested this if I felt it was too much for anyone to handle. Again, add in the factor that there would be different skill levels you could enter at, and also that this is totally optional, and you've got a non-pressure offer.

As far as defining the rules, I think thats something appointed judges would have to do. So as to make things more fair, and as I was saying, I would probably be a judge.

You make a good choice in nerrad and LBH also being judges. They are the other two I would have chosen, possibly hawkeye if he wanted to do it.

I don't want this to be just my decision though, so people are still free to give suggests for how we do this thing.

Problem with a contest.

I have the answer.

Another group of people wanted to have a contest, it was shut down.

It doesn't matter the rhyme or reason, a contest is a contest, and the line should be drawn the same for everyone. (Pun intended)

I would be willing to join, however, as long as we don't have a contest.

 

[His Divine Shadow]

A slight interjection and then I'll be on my way: Some of the brainstorming for this idea has made it seem a bit like the TickleTheater and/or its Staff are going to be sponsoring or otherwise endorsing this potential contest in some way. I'm not one hundred percent sure this was your intention, but I'd like to clarify our stance on such just in case: the TickleTheater and/or its Staff will not be sponsoring, endorsing, or otherwise giving any support beyond what we do to any other thread to this contest or, indeed, any other affair. It is not our place to be doing such and we feel it will likely never be. We are not biased towards your potential contest in any way; indeed, you are as free to hold it as you are anything else here. You simply won't get any special status or endorsement from the TT and neither would any other member-initiated project. We welcome all ideas, projects, quests, whatever (Provided they lie within the boundaries of the TT rules), but we will sponsor none of them more than any other. Were we to sponsor even one, we'd have to do the same for every idea that came thereafter.

I don't mean to be a killjoy in any way. Indeed, I have no problems or issues whatsoever with a contest being held; it is simply not going to be one endorsed or sponsored by the TT. We aren't in the business of doing such and we will likely never be.

Carry on...:happy:

Thats YOUR answer, not THE answer. Please get them straight.

Attempting to take legitmate credit away from this just because yours didn't get a go is a pretty spiteful and immature way to look at things, if I may say so. Just because what you wanted didn't pan out, for obvious reasons, doesn't mean a legitimate contest of talent (something completely seperated from what you wanted to do) should not. This is about talent and art. Two very real things that are beyond comparison. Theres a far greater value to art and awarding it and the people who bring it to us, than silly little titles most probably aqquired through spam and other banter-esque activity, and theres no way you can sanely argue this is not true.

Acknowledging people for a talent, ability, and gift they possess is also beyond comparison.

An eye for an eye isn't going to work here, and its not a healthy attitude to have. The two have to be treated different because they deal with two different subject matters.

No one can honestly say an art contest is a bad thing, morally or otherwise.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Furthermore, if you wanted to do what you wanted to do so badly, you could have just given eachother names and titles without the fuss or need for organization or a contest, since few of you were in on it. For something so simple it wouldn't have been necessary for a contest and it was far more suited as a game amongst yourselves.

Like how I call HDS Contradicto. I didn't have to play some game or contest or vote for that and neither did he. I just started calling him that because of a private joke, and because he made it his title here, I can only presume that he either doesn't mind it, he likes it, or both. He is also free to change it at any time if it bothers him. He's never told me anything about it, and I rather like the nickname, as it's totally HDS. 😛

Perhaps if you had presented what you wanted to do in a different way it would have worked out for you. But because it didn't doesn't mean this shouldn't (which I hope has nothing to do with the no votes, as that would just make them spite votes in my opinion). You can't say this is about favoritism or bias either, as the mods have nothing to do with it (in either denouncing it or approving it), as publically stated by HDS.

Yours and mine were, quite simply, individual attempts at something. They either work or they don't. Yours hasn't and mine probably won't with this particular concept, anymore either.

Some (but not enough) have given me their feedback and nerrad makes some very good points, enough that I'm prepared to make a decision. Whether this poll fails to yield enough support or not was never a deciding factor for me. It was merely to weed out who doesn't want to be a part of it as we'd need to know that right away. In addition, this was just a poll for the subject, not the ACTUAL subject itself.

So this topic is actually only in it's SECOND phase.

Because of the help of nerrad and others, we can now move on to phase 2 and begin discussing the alternatives to a contest and planning it. Maybe I have more enthusiasm than others, but its still viable at this stage and I hope it can work out in a mutually agreeable manner.

(The mods may close this thread if they wish. I have no further use for it, and closing it may prevent an argument.) "My spider sense is tingling!"- Spiderman 😉

I actually had nothing to do with that contest, my good sir.

And, you can say whatever you want, I'm not in charge.

span and banter-esque activity, something *I* must know alot about, because I have an especially high post count.

I never claimed to sanely argue anything.

Acknowledging people for a talent, ability, and gift they possess is also beyond comparison.

*I* think that spamming and banter-esque activities are talents, abilities and gifts as well.

An eye for an eye isn't going to work here, and its not a healthy attitude to have. The two have to be treated different because they deal with two different subject matters.

No one can honestly say an art contest is a bad thing, morally or otherwise.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, right? Well, remember this conversation, and especially that line, because I will. Next time you try an eye for an eye defense, I'll be there.

As far as an art contest, I voted yes, by the way, not that it actually matters. But, I want you to understand that I personally do not like the way you handle things.

Have a nice day.

[Celtic_Emperor]

Why would I have to worry about being against the concept of an eye for an eye, let alone having to remember I said it? Being against it is morally a good thing. I certainly didn't defend it, as defending it would make me vengeful, and just what am I revenging here? No one has done anything to me. Its actually only you, at this point, who seems angry, not me. You lost me there, bro...o_______0

EDIT:Oh, and I already knew what you (and everyone else) voted for, as this was a public poll. XD

I took the meaning of your initial post to mean such, that the TT would in some way sanction this more than any other thread. If such is not the case, I apologize for the intrusion and shall fade out of the arena.

I'll leave this open for now unless you specifically want it closed, but I'd like to direct all members who wish to comment to the new thread Vlad has created, http://www.tickletheater.com/showthread.php?t=32226, on this topic.

Oh, my bad, I actually did vote no. I meant to vote yes on this one.

Hahaha. So actually, its 8-6.

But Vlad, I'm not angry at all.

I just have a good assumption of the way things are working out around here.

I took the meaning of your initial post to mean such, that the TT would in some way sanction this more than any other thread. If such is not the case, I apologize for the intrusion and shall fade out of the arena.

I'll leave this open for now unless you specifically want it closed, but I'd like to direct all members who wish to comment to the new thread Vlad has created, http://www.tickletheater.com/showthread.php?t=32226, on this topic.

Ara ara....my apologies if I gave you that impression. Poor Contradicto wasted energy. He needs his strength. 🙁

LOL, if you want to close the thread thats fine. Theres really no use for it anymore and theres no point in having it when the other will suffice. It will also prevent similar threads from being bumped together.
