LET"S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



SEE UPDATE BELOW!!!

WOW! I received over 30 entries to the contest which is well over what I expected so a big congratulations goes out to everyone that took the time to color this monstrosity. I know you all worked very long and very hard on your entry and I hope you learned a little bit along the way. A lot of people don’t know what they’re capable of until they’re forced to push themselves past their own limits and I can see that most of our entrants pushed to really show what they can do. I’m sorry to say that there can be only one winner but I’ll be a bit cliché’ by saying that you’re all winners in my book and you should all give yourself a big pat on the back for your accomplishment! Congrats guys!!!

So, without further ado, THE VOTING IS NOW OPEN TO ALL DEVIANTART MEMBERS!!!!!! It’s up to all the fine folks here on DA to decide who the grand champion is. Simply click through the links below and decide which entry you like the best. The criteria is all up to you and there’s no standard that each piece should be judged by so simply pick the one you like the best and post a comment with your vote. PLEASE ONLY VOTE IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF THIS JOURNAL ENTRY and not on the comment section of each individual entry. Please also vote by NUMBER and NAME so it's easier to tally them all up. Only votes placed here in the Journal entry will count toward the final tally. You can, however, place a comment for the person you vote for or on multiple entries just to let the artist(s) know how much you like their finished piece(in fact, I highly encourage it!). Also, please get the word out to your friends and your friend’s friends to head over here and vote on their favorite. These guys worked long and hard on their entries and I want the turn out to reflect their hard work. Voting will be open for the next 2 weeks and end on May the 24 at midnight(EST). At that point no more votes will be taken and we’ll tally all the posts to figure out who gets crowned the COLOR MASTER! Between now and then I’ll post up updates in the journal showing who’s in the lead as well as 2nd and 3rd place. We’ve got a lot of really professional entries so I’m thinking the voting is going to be very close.

Remember, this is for a very cool prize package of prints, books, and comics so take your vote very seriously. HERE’S YOUR CONTESTANTS!!!!!!:

If you don’t see your entry on the list and got your done and uploaded by the due date, please message me ASAP so I can get it added to the list. I did my best to collect them all but I might have missed one or 2.

UPDATE: Okay guys, it's come to my attention that some of you are possibly tweaking your piece and then editing your image so your tweaked piece shows up. Well guess what happens- your thumbnail no longer shows up on my journal entry so I'll know if your piece has been modded. I'm letting this one slide but any further tweaks and reuploads will make you ineligable and none of your votes will count. I know it's hard guys especially when you see other entries and it gives you ideas for yours but we have to be fair about this. Everyone had the same amount of time so be proud of what you accomplished.

UPDATE #2!!- ONLY 7 MORE HOURS LEFT TO VOTE!! If you've put off voting until later, now's the time to do it!!

GOOD LUCK!
