Don't worry...I spent too much time as well. People will never see it, but I spent a solid 8 hours + on mine. My wife just don't get it...she thinks it's work, but it really is fun sometimes.

The outlining of all the little source photos, coloring, shading, blending, etc. Takes time that you just don't see. Especially when you aren't a pro. The good guys at this stuff would knock it out in no time I bet.

Too bad XXL, I can´t recycle the one from last year. There are too many entries. You better get a new one done quick.

Mine took about 2 weeks working on it here and there. I don´t have any idea how much time I put into mine.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

For the poll I will post the pics in the size allowed for attachments so they will all be about the same size. (max. width 642)
Don´t worry about getting them downsized, I will take care of that.

Heres mine.

I used to put up all kinds of rules but I stopped because I think it scared the choppers off.

One of the rules were that you could change your chop as often as you want but only one would be entered. All you have to do is tell me you want to enter the picture from post #21 or #44.

Good Luck to all the rest!
3 Days left. Friday at Midnight (West Coast Time)

SkylineNXS · 10-29-2008, 01:21 AM

Ok 44 would be the one entered, but could i pm u or email u a full sized pic, it looses a lot of detail. Thanks...

You could do that if you want but I am going to scale them all down to a max width of 642 anyways so all the pictures are the same size and everyone has the same chance.

You could also save your picture online at image shack or photo bucket and post the full size picture using [IMG][/IMG].

corn · 10-30-2008, 12:04 AM

Great work guys! Impressive art, all of them.

Arad68 · 10-30-2008, 12:32 AM

Thanks Corn. Your not so bad,... for an old guy.

blukangoo · 11-01-2008, 04:53 AM

Good Morning

Hope everybody had a happy halloween.

I don´t have time right now but I will get the poll up tonight.

For anybody that didn´t make it in time, you still have a chance.
In about 12 hours from now I will get the poll up.

blukangoo · 11-02-2008, 10:24 AM
