Nice. I've had this idea in mind before I looked at the stock and it's very fitting.
Haven't started mine. Hoping I can finish this site and get it out of the way before I start.
I got some ideas before I saw the stock images. And then when I saw it... I just thought "omg... what a crappy image! what am I supposed to do with this?". So after much thought I gave it a twist and turned out pretty cool. And in fact the stock I worked with had some intense graphic elements, so with was a very good image after all. Thats what I like in this kind of competition. You never know what you'll get :D
I actually really liked my stock when I first saw it, but I had the hardest time working with it...I started 3 different concepts before I had something i could get excited about. It turned out to be possibly the best manip I've done to date, or at least one of my favorites.
2 days and nothing good to show for it. i need to go on a sugar high or something and just do something crazy
It's usually black or white for me. I either get an idea right away and it looks great,
or it takes forever and I can never get it just the way I want it.
Those times are frustrating to no end. :yikes:
That's when I have to go play guitar or do something else to clear my head.
Usually after a day or two, an idea will just hit me and I run with it.
reworking my image from ground up. I have another idea I am thinking of doing as well but can't find a stock for the life of me to fit my idea.
I'm resisting trying too hard because 1. I'm going to get crushed anyway, 2. I'd just get my hopes up, and 3. I don't have the time.

Hope your mom is recovering well, Nords.
It's sunday here...where are the piccies!?!?!
:P
Whew, it's only about 2am EST
Submitted. FYI I noticed that imageshack does not actually completely jumble the file name (it only adds some stuff on the end) so make sure your images don't have give-aways in the filename (like your username, obviously). I can't speak for anyone else but I won't likely be able to resist the temptation of viewing image names to see if I can find any clues as to who made it. :)
These are due tonight right? What time Lefteye? Sorry if you've posted it somewhere, i havent been able to pay attention enough lately.
starting now, don't even know when this is due! :scared: hehe. big weekend :)
I thought they were due tomorrow night EST:
"Images are due to me via Private Message through Flashkit, BEFORE, Monday March 10th 11:59pm EST"
I'm using this site as my guide: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=1160
Should be the right timezone.
But...but you're in Gladstone :shhh:Quote:

Lefteye asked to send the link only to a host like imageshack, flickr or whatever, cause he's lazy and he doesnt want to upload the images (this last part is joking obviously xD)Quote:

I guess the confusion stems from your start and end dates overlapping... for instance, how can we vote on Monday if the images are not due until 11:59 EST? There is no way to do that. So voting begins Tuesday at Midnight (or more realistically, whenever you get everything posted up). As far as voting ending and the next round beginning... you have both of those set on Wednesday, but when does the voting end? Does it end at 11:59 like the submissions or at some other time? If it is at the end of the day, advancing contestants won't get their stocks until Thursday...
Personally, it makes more sense to me to have the images due at 11:59 on Sunday, then voting takes place Monday and Tuesday, and the next round starts on Wednesday...
... of course we'd have to start that next round since there are those who were counting on having 'til the end of the day Monday to finish up.
(edit)... and I'm not a mod so you guys do whatever you want.. I'm just happy to be along for the ride... you guys are doing a bang up job so far! :D
i seriously don't know what's not to get about 11:59pm?
it's pretty obvious that after the images are due, voting starts...or
if i took out the words "voting starts" would that clear the confusion? :crazy:
I'm not confused. We have a little more than 28 hours.
Yeah... actually I think that would help. Just for the record, I was never confused... I can just see how the way it is worded could be confusing. Like I said, I'm just along for the ride and think everyone is doing a marvelous job!Quote:

Naw, not an error in his posting; an error in your assumption. He typed exactly what he meant. They'll be posted by 11:59pm March 10th (GMT -5).
Now here's some prior knowledge you would have not known... the whole thing about voting in the past is that after the second day, nobody really ever voted - I ended up usually being the last vote because I took my time to vote each and every time.
Anyway, as it stands... I'm not understanding where the confusion exists. Or if it still exists.
