Very, very delayed (more of which later...) but here are the winners of February's Art Comp:
1st Place -- Johnnystress
2nd Place -- Woolly
3rd Place -- Petemaskreplica
Congratulations to all of you, and thank-you to everyone who took part.
The voting thread saw some... heated... discussion about voting and number of submissions, and after reading what everyone had to say and thinking about it, I'd suggest this:
Boarders should feel free to submit as many pieces as they want - however, one piece must be selected as their nominated entry for voting purposes. Hopefully this one little guideline will let the more prolific boarders entertain us and themselves but keep the voting a little clearer. I hope it sounds fair to everyone involved.
Also spinning out of that thread were several suggestions for the next competition. The three most promising are:
2000AD Culture Clash -- 2K characters in unusual cultural settings - anything from literature, cinema, television etc.
The Big 2000AD Day Off -- what do characters like Devlin Waugh, Dredd or Slaine do away from the "office"? Is Nemesis the Warlock really a sales clerk by day?
Tharg at 30 -- Old Green Bonce has been with the comic for 30 years, in many different guises. Illustrate your favourite version, or best moment, or imagine Tharg in a future/alternate guise.
What do boarders think of these suggestions?
OK, one last thing before I wrap up. I've enjoyed doing this over the past several months, but there are a number of other things going on in my life and time is becoming more and more precious. I just can't guarantee I can give the time anymore - to the comp, or to the 'net in general - and it means that these competitions just aren't getting my attention as much as they should. So, the March comp will be the last I try and organise, but I'd like to see someone take over running the submission and voting threads. Anyone interested, drop me a line by email.
