I love autumn in case you can't tell, goes well with blue. Wanted to make something nice for this challenge, so there's a genuine legit background in there for ya. Maybe I'll do more of those in the future.
When I saw semi-finalists, I was SO 100% certain yours would be there. I am not in that contest so I'm more an observer there. Your improvement is just wow- and this piece is an perfection and example of improvement. I'm so sad to see that didn't make to semi-finalists.
And... i still dont understand fanart thing. And there is apparently drama... which I still dont understand the results of it?? [link]
Either way, I do think devART has failed clearly/correctly explaining the interpretation of fanart because I do see lots of people took it as is not allowed, even ones who really tried to read. There should be a strict YES all fanarts are allowed or NO, strictly no fanart allowed- no buts and "depends on interpretation".
Yeah, it was confusing. But oh well. DA contests usually seem to turn out like this from what I've observed. The people I expect to get in don't and pieces I never would have thought to consider randomly win.
That's quite unprofessional of DA. I've been reading Moon's and admins responses and they just play with eye rolling that they were correct. All matters IF most of the readers/participants will understand on 100% entry guidelines- simply like at The Hobbit contest (we will see the result of it anyway). No buts, no interpretations or anything. For me, whole issue of fanarts is only a matter of opinion and individual interpretations. For me, I understood strictly no fanarts were allowed.
But yes, that was reason why I stopped joining DA contests in general unless I'll feel fancy to take a try in that "lottery". Yes I name them lotteries.
So much improvement ;D
