kawaiicurls Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 http://www.neopets.com/beauty/details.phtml?pet=Freweini ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ The lag on the Neoboards is astounding; I'm without a laptop for the next 2-3 days (it spontaneously malfunctioned before New Years and parts have only just become accessible to the repair man) so Freweini is the result of me drawing on my phone. It was near impossible to manage smooth lines in the end! I hope you'll consider giving us a chance at Gold and maybe go try to draw some stuff on your phone too for the fun of it! Thank you! ^O^ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lia Seeya Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Your vote has been cast for Freweini I think I remember seeing your board on the Art Chat, but the lag was so bad that I couldn't load anything. :c That's a lovely entry! The colouring is so lovely and soft. :D Good luck in the BC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawaiicurls Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thank you Lia! I've been on Art Chat on and off today because of the stupendous lag it's been hard to hold actual conversations with people since my replies get eaten up when the page refuses to load etc etc. Endless frustrations: but there's already a million lag complaint boards all over the place. Thank you so very, very, very much - I appreciate the vote and that you commented to say so ^-^ ♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawaiicurls Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thank you Shelley! I really appreciate it - while there's only three entries in this category this week it's still a challenge to try to get Gold XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawaiicurls Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thank you Debora! The support is thoroughly appreciated; I'm really pleased because this is coming on the heels of two weeks ago when my Draik entry was removed (http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=starity - the second consecutive time from competition because someone reported to the judge that she was too human; and the entry was removed less than 6 hours before the competition's end. When I got upset about it, a couple of people were like "Well, it looked too human imo so it didn't get my vote" and similar comments to that nature, (even if there were just as many really nice sympathizing comments) - either way, It got me really down because while I didn't mind the entry being removed, the last minute removal and slightly... upsetting comments felt a little uncalled for - particularly when it was clear I was already sad over it. I don't really like how mean spirited or covertly judgmental or even cliqueish the BC has become. It's not a very big contest and not many people can go beyond the Art Board, so there's very little traffic to the contest these days. It feels silly that anyone is trying to make the competition smaller by being so petty. deboratibi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siniri Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 You drew that on your phone? It's amazing! Excellent work, and I wouldn't have noticed anything but how beautiful it was if you hadn't said so (and even so, I really had to look hard to figure out what was "wrong" with it -- and I still don't have a clue!). Good luck. I hope you get gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawaiicurls Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Shane - Thank you so very much! Fortunately the great majority of people are lovely, and once the Avatar becomes available I think there'll an injected new positivism to the competition. Siniri - *blusssh* Thank you! (Wiggly lines and strange proportions are what's wrong XD I couldn't manage any differently though but I'm so happy you looked at it and just saw something nice!) There's Autodesk Sketchbook X in the Android App store and that's what I used to work with ^-^! Shane for Wax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels silly that anyone is trying to make the competition smaller by being so petty. I'm so sorry that happened :( I'm just a casual BCer, so I never noticed people were like that... Maybe it's also because I only enter in smaller categories. I guess people are harsher on Draik entrants since it's one of the biggest categories. idk. Anyway, I know this is easier said than done, but just focus on the nice people and don't mind the others! Your art is beautiful :) kawaiicurls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avia loves Chias Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 voted for you! i love the drawing, especially the pattern on the chest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawaiicurls Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Debora - I suppose you're right and I understand people getting petty in competitive categories like that; I am finding the BC to actually be a lot more enjoyable this week now by just focusing on the nice people like you said: I've made some new friends and reconnected with other regulars after finding out we have interests in common and it's great! There is definitely someone still reporting other entries for lots and lots of minor infractions in different categories getting kicked from competition - so whatever is happening is a little bit of a mystery. I do worry that if reporting to the judge gets entries removed so easily there's going to be a very weird culture of reporting each other just to try to get the avatar when it eventually releases. If I ever see you BC-ing, I'll be sure to come spare a vote and bump your board ^-^ Avia - Aaah!!! Thank you Avia! I'm so glad you do - It was really hard drawing swirls with the stylus that tiny, but I like how it turned out in the end too and I thoroughly appreciate that vote! deboratibi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deboratibi Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm glad things are better again! Bleh, reporting entries for minor things seems like such a waste of time. I never reported anyone, and would only do so if the art was stolen or if it was VERY inappropriate. I hope people don't get into a reporting frenzy for the avatar. And if they do, they should at least get warnings for that! PS: Aww, thank you! I shall do the same! :laughingsmiley: kawaiicurls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawaiicurls Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Just dropping a last note to thank everyone for the support! Freweini took home top in species and also FIRST PLACE OVERALL! Woot! That was like, the best, nicest thing to wake up to after Neo had come back online even if the lag is still legendary and 2/3 of my userlookups have disappeared. Thank you everybody! I look forward to getting my laptop back and participating with higher caliber work in the not too distant future. Deb - I'm afraid they might, but we'll handle that bridge when we come to it, and in the meanwhile I think the community will manage to support itself, catty moments aside XD! *hug* siniri, Shane for Wax and deboratibi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
