Your sheer unsportsmanship and arrogance disgusts me, Count. If I were a mod I would have you banned from this competition just for that, but alas, I must set a good example.

Many of you are wondering why I have not been posting my images yet: I was working on them. I will now submit all 25 pieces of Art that have gotten me into the Final Round of the (url="http://"http://pirate.planetarion.com/forum/showthread.php?postid=759280#post759280")Planetarion PTP Graphics Competition(/url). No word yet on whether or not I won, but they will most likely be using my graphics for next round of Planetarion.

And now the link:

Heh, the Gunboat looks like an Apache and the Frigate looks like an A-wing.

Withdraws himself judging because he can't do graphics anyway. Let ones that know their handiwork rate it.

Ratings for Slug's stuff:
Ships, rating in the format of (Textures Rating)/(Aesthetics Rating).
Astropod: 2/3
Battleship: 1/1
Carrier: 2/2
Corvette: 1/2
Cruiser: 2/3
Destroyer: 1/2
Dreadnaught: 1/1
Frigate: 1/2
Gunboat: 1/2
Interceptor: 1/2

The better ships are even with the Count's best, but the worst (specifically the battleship) are well below the Count's worst. Texturing is simple but effective, not very impressive, but not overdone either.

I refuse to rank the battle scenes at this time; I haven't seen enough of that sort of scene to know where I want to set my standards.

Good, because I suck at still portraits and rule at scenes. Thank you for your ratings.

Ok, Slug, I'm sorry.

Recalibrating arrogance levels

Better.

Hmm...wierd, I thought Wyvern would rate Slug slightly better than CA.

CA glares at him

Well, I do think that the reason I judged that was because of the kind of Colours used in making the ships (never underestimate the effect the colours have. CA, maybe try and darken the ships and see how that looks like?).

This is my 5th picture. I've finished all 6 ship pictures, now for the fighting scene. I'll probably get it submitted in 3 or so weeks.

Also, could more people post their views on this topic? So far we only have Wyvern. Darkk, Pharris, SA, Sarg, Laguna, Pyro, Talon Karrde, Mag Steelglass where are you?

Well, I told you my major concern about most of your images the other day, but...

This new one I like, a lot. The increased contrast makes it a lot bolder, and shows up the detail level of the texture.

I'd say that that one was the best so far. I told you to make it darker...

Y'know, that last picture of the Count's up there reminds me heavily of the Antarans from Master of Orion 2.

Another 3/2. Quite nice, but I still like your Corvette and Assault Carrier better.

Hey, when you both get all of your images submitted, I'll vote for whose is best.

One thing that may be a little difficult for the voters, is that Slug's graphics presentation involves a lot more than 7 images, some of them not at all relevant to the graphics comp (no offense to Slug or his images btw). Slug, could you please seperate the graphics you are entering for easy distinction?

I haven't gotten one entry finished yet (Vacation and other projects).

However, if I'm to be honest with you, I'd have to say that if that's what it took to get into the PTP finals, I could have easily made it in if I wasn't heading off to camp so soon.
When I get bored, I'll boot up the comp with the "infested" scheme and pop that out for your viewing pleasure (it's only the in-game viewer; I didn't have time for anything that required 3D models)

With all due respect, "that" was not what it took to get into the PTP graphics contest finals, and if I may be honest, you are being an arrogant sod. To get into the finals I had to provide menus, bars, banners, icons, thumbs, descriptions, texts, and screens for the contest, in addition to the work I have submitted for this contest (which is, by the way, not the PTP Competition, the reason I haven't shown you all my PTP work). I already showed you some of the work to get into the PTP competition, and I was asked to prune that somewhat by the dear Count. I have done that and now you're chewing me out for "being played easily on"; well I wasn't.

If you think this is all I had to do, then you are.....

Look, sorry for being rough on you, but ignorant petulance is my piss switch. In the future, don't flip it.
