Hi every one, sorry for the delay. It seems we had to wait for some last minute bribes to come in before we finalized the nominations. Since we are a little behind schedule posting the nominations the voting will not start until Feb 19 and continue until Feb 22. The winners will be posted on Monday Feb 23/04. Watch this thread for detailed instructions on how to vote on Feb 19/04. Take the next 2 days to look over all the nominations and make an educated decision.
Well those are the nominations. The final nomination list is composed of both artist nominations and judges nominations. The judges split the categories up and added nominations of our own for pictures that we felt needed to be recognized. Also some nominations that were sent to us were removed because they did not met the posted before January 1/04 deadline. Some of the categories have been removed because there was no artist nominations to them. All the above nominations were listed in alphabetical order based on picture title. Congrats to every one.

Hit a few snags, will post soon, promise. (I don't think anyone read the first post in this thread and just skimmed it, there seems to be some confusion.)
Awards show postponed due to bad weather.

I leave well enough alone. I don't screw with any of the gamma settings everything seems to turn out ok when viewed in a browser. Although, I think photoshop installs adobe gamma which runs in the background. Not sure what it does, I should probably look into it...

Ok everyone. Nominations are due in tommorow. To nominate yourself for a awards send your nominations to Me, optical, or quantum via e-mail. You can find our e-mail addresses in our profiles or the first post in this thread. You can nominate one picture per category. the same picture can be nominated for multiple categories.
As commented my Spidergirl pic is again too dark. And again it's because I correct the gamma on Paint Shop Pro which can't be corrected on a browser.
Fortunately I managed to counter the darkness with my Punisher pic and saved it separately - and uploaded the 'corrected' pic here. Not going to bother messing around with the others.
How does everyone else deal with gamma? Just purposely skew it and fix pics individually if you want to print them or what?
Yeah, I think it was aimed at Cereal Killer. Brick, your mother is finds your efforts far from erotic and is disgusted that you should be hanging out with the others on this site.
But CK, you should really change your mobile tune to a less girly one...I mean unless you're trying to signal some sort of lifestyle choice?
Not to step on anyone's toes here but Brick I think Furiousmax was talking to me in his last post but to show what a good guy I am, I'm going to share his post, here's your piece
Well, your hairstyle is limp and out of fashion, the tune on your mobile phone is effeminate, you always hog the remote, your taste in belt-buckles is horrendous and your chicken is dry and tasteless!
oh yeah, your mother
and I'll take this piece
your X-men pic is simply outstanding and you are the best manipper here (that's not true but thanks for saying so)
See I even gave you more words am I not great or what?

Well, your hairstyle is limp and out of fashion, the tune on your mobile phone is effeminate, you always hog the remote, your taste in belt-buckles is horrendous and your chicken is dry and tasteless!
oh yeah, your mother says your X-men pic is simply outstanding and you are the best manipper here.
I for one welcome any and all critique as long as its civil in nature (as I myself have a lot to learn). I've yet to see anybody go beyond the pale here.
Its actually a very friendly sight... probably why it might feel like there is _too_ much praise, but then again this sight seems to attract very good artists IMHO.
I will say this Furiousmax if there is something on this site that you want to comment on you should bad or good of course if it????????s bad you can be creative in how you word your critique (as not to be lampooned be other posters who might be friends of the victim that receives your criticism.
I personally very rarely visit the adult gallery (every once in a great while there is something worth looking at in that gallery) but for the most part I stay away because I share your sentiments.
I believe that this site like many others where artist can post there work for the public view suffers from too much praise and not enough critique. I plan to attach a message to my future works the basically say that I don????????t want praise (I can get that from my mother) I want honest opinions (that the only way one get better at a craft). That????????s not to say if you want to say kind things I won????????t read it but I much rather hear what you don????????t like about my work.
Just yesterday I left a post for an artist the put up a Batman picture and I stated that he made artistic choices that I don????????t understand but overall his work wasn????????t bad. Maybe this artist will take what I said into consideration on his next work or ignore my comments and say ???????I have no idea what I????????m talking about???????; either way I shared my opinion and isn????????t that what these message boards are about opinion sharing.

I Guess I'm Guilty Again!! I took a naked model from the Adult Gallery, selected and colored the torso purple (after first smudging and manipping the body so that it would look like spandex when layered), then I put a new masked head on, then I used airbrush, then 1px line, then smudge again, then I selected and colored the gloves and boots, then I went over the edges with 1px lines, and I came up with a "quickie" after 2 hours on Adobe 3. But I do appreciate critcism.
