YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN

So I was bored and I thought I'd announce the winners of the art contest. :P

So, let's get right to it! We have 3 top placers! And I'm gonna be nice and not even do drama space!

In third place we have a piece by a beloved member that is very patriotic to our site. Judges enjoyed the structure and creativity and how it was clearly his piece.

Doram! With 16.5 points! (It was rounded up to 16.5 but no one else had around the number at all so he still gets third)

Congratulations, Doram! Also, if you click on his name something maaaaaaaaaaaaaagical will happen. :D

In second place is by far the entry that took the most effort. With an entry that is a dead ringer to who this user is, this guy definitely deserved every point he earned.

Ladies and gentlemen, Suyo!

Way to go, bro!

And finally, in first place, this entrant wa

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand my jidgings

DarkYoshi

Layout/Looks- 2/10

It's all jumbled with no real theme. Birdo looks like a mess, the elements and colors have no rhyme or reason, and the text is remarkably plain. There's no unity or organization or idea of why those should be there. They just are.

Information: 2/5

...you didn't even answer half the questions or try to switch them out for questions about you. All we know is DPad Comics and you're a video game nerd, cause we all know video game nerds are rare around here.

Other Touches/Bug Report: 3/5 (Nothing to Add)

Overall- 7/20

For a winner of the best artist award, this should have at least looked coherent.

Master1.0

Looks-7.5/10

While it needs a bit of refinement the theme of your profile came across clearly, it was properly coordinated, and overall looked quite good, especially the background. The main problem is that the text color didn't really go with the others and was hard to read. Leaving them at the same green as the background would have looked a lot better.

Information: 3.5/5

I did like the personal info stuff, and the Q/A section was well done. However, your paragraph profile seemed a bit plain. Half the people here are well known veterans, well known level designers, or friendly. Surely there's more you can touch up on than that.

Other- 3.5/5

+1 for the successful inclusion of your sig in the profile.
-.5 for the User Of The Week- It's a great idea but I'm not sure how you could reincorporate it over and over and make it look clean or easily enough to make sure you don't slack on it.

Overall-14.5/20

A very nice looking profile with a lot of initiative taken, but just needed the extra push.

Layout/Looks-9/10

Mmmmmm. Quite a gorgeous looking profile page. Especially taken from the plain Jane template, this is quite a feat you've made here. The dividers are especially nice, as well as the metallic structure as a whole. Incorporating your Bagz was another great idea, and it flowed effortlessly. Good job.

Information: 4/5

A good amount of information here. I like how you mention you are a bit narcissistic instead of just glorifying yourself (like you do elsewhere :troll: ) so users know what to expect.

Other- 4/5

+1 Giving your Bagz original dialogue instead of copypasta from prior comics.

Overall- 17/20

Looks like we may have a winner here. :D

Doram

Looks: 9.5/10

Dude, you captured yourself here. (Literally. In 5 more outfits.) Everything looked great here- using the Level Designer tiles for your info, cleanly incorporating your pictures, your small sigbar, your little Gaia guy in all his outfits (and a schnazzy looking wolf thingy), and the sketch, make this an excellent looking profile that is inimitable

Information: 4.25/5

While I think you could have maybe added more Q/A, you definitely get across who you are succinctly and even offer your UR services to the reader. So not only do you make yourself known, you make yourself likable already.

Other- 4/5

+1 I really have to give you kudos for including that sketch of yours. In fact, there's something to be said about incorporating your own artwork within your artwork.

Total: 17.75/20

Overall, you pulled off exactly what I wanted. You kept it you but made it look accessible and simply amazing.

MP3Amplifier

Looks: 7/10

While it isn't remarkable with the much too stark and uninspired yellow, there are some nice, redeemable elements. For one, I love the text you used. It brought a cheerful pop that's characteristic to you, and it looked remarkably clean with the lines and layout.

Information: 3/5

I did like that you did all the questions, but you don't distinguish yourself very much. Really, other than your mentioning that you're a level mod, your info sounds like a lot of other entrants. In fact, you didn't even mention that you were one of the few female members of the site. That would have distinguished you a bit. Also, mentioning the name of the level of your proudest accomplishment would have helped people recognize you as well.

Other: 3/5

Overall: 13/20

It was a nice, cheerful entry that needed deeper characteristics all around.

Suyo

Looks: 9.5/10

...

That was me. After seeing your profile.

This looks phenominal, what with all the massive ASCII. It looks cohesive, well organized, and simply amazing. And the ASCII. ♥♥♥♥. It fits your occupation as a coder very well.

Information: 5/5

If I had never met you, from this profile I'd have deduced that you're the guy who does all the new stuff for the site, you have a good, often self deprecating sense of humor, you love Bit Trip, you love your references, you're damn good at coding and ASCII, and a gaming fan in general.

That's exactly what a profile should do.

Other: 3/5

Overall: 17.5/20

A near perfect profile that informs us about you, looks amazing and embodies you.

AlucardX60

Looks: 7.5/10

It looks rather plain, for the most part. What gives it a nice character is the inclusion of the sprites, which gives it leedway to your chill humor.

Information: 4.5/5

You characterize your information with a nice dosage of personality, which makes you very amiable to others who learn about you. And there's enough info there, as well, although you could have included another question or two.

Other: 3/5

Overall: 15/20

What it lacks in looks it makes up for in personality.

Nin10mode

Looks: 9.75/10

Not only did you reorganize the layout (as suggested in the original post, which I don't think was done otherwise) the background looks beautiful. I'm extremely drawn into it. And the text/divider portion looks great as well. Everything looks incredibly nice.

Information: 4.25/5

You gave us a good amount of information, personality and hospitality. Well done.

Other: 3.5/5

+.5 I have to say, you were one of the few who made the Runouw.com logo look good in their piece. And I didn't expect that here.

Overall: 17.5/20

A simply gorgeous entry that kept me looking and reading and enjoying it.

MOI RESULTS

Spoiler: show
MoD's Entry (i.e. yours)
Layout and Looks
It's quite creative and colorful, but the brush lines are messy, tangled, complicated, and make the text sort of, you know, disordered?
The background is quite plain too. The avatar is nice, but a little squashed.
6/10

Information
It tells me lots and lots about you. Right from your favorite level, to how your stories flood the forum (quite true!), how you span a whole generation, and lots of other tidbits that generally give you full marks.
5/5

Comments and Criticism
As I said above, the brush lines squash the text (mind making the lines a little thinner?), and the avatar is squashed. The brush lines pretty much look a mess, plus I can spot the template lines behind some of the brush lines.
The avatar also half-hides the template lines.
2/5

Overall Marks
13/20
While not the most tidy entry, it's a good go!



Dark Yoshi/Genowhirl910's Entry
Layout and Looks
Ah. I can see you left in the template lines. Honestly, they look a little... ugly.
The avatar is quite pixellated, and the name is just... well, your name in a font.
I like the sprite and random picture (is that the D-PAD logo?), but the random brush lines, what are they supposed to accomplish? They look quite the mess.
4/10

Information
Well, there isn't really much IN the information field. You left three fields 'blank', and frankly, it reeks of self-glorification.
2/5

Comments and Criticism
Please, try and use EFFORT. You left the template lines (quite ugly and unordered), things are all over the place, and it's actually quite easy to pick a favorite X.
1/5

Overall Marks
7/20
It was a try, but the duck's for dinner tonight.



Master 1.0's Entry
Layout and Looks
Wowsers. This one looks good.
Let's see, the background is abstract (and techy!), the theme is too as well. It does get a little bland though. But once again, the template lines are visible for everyone to see. *sigh*
You've got your avatar, sigbars, everything in the right place and looking like it should be there. Brilliant!
7/10

Information
HOLLER HOLLER I'M CALLING TO THE MOUNTAINS! *is shot*
You've got nice and tidy info. You say you don't brag, which is true. You say you're friendly, which is true. You say you're a good LDer, which is true.
It's very true. The only snag I have is, well, why not add in a few interesting facts? We want to know more.
4/5

Comments and Criticism
There are a few errors, like misspellings. But that's just trivial.
I like what you've done, including the 'User of the Week' thing!
4/5

Overall Marks
15/20
Good, good, good!


Those were my results. You can probably see why I gave up.
