The journal youve been waiting for
13 years ago
Sorry about the delay, Im trying to get my shit together in the real world, so these result are long overdue. But I shall not make you wait any futher. As per usual Ill state the winner and why I thought they won, starting from third place:
3rd Place winner goes for this entry http://www.furaffinity.net/full/9314303/ by Tomoyuki. This piece is concise and gets the message across clearly. While I do have to wonder if someone was engaged in a conflict with murderous intent, would simply being talked to firmly send them on their way but I guess it needn't be looked like that. While the instant effects of bullying can be bad enough, the psychological effects can be even worse, and simply having someone step in to aid you, could be the difference that it makes when you decide how to cope with your bullying problem. For your efforts, you get a commission from an artist of your choice, up to $30 in value.
2nd Place winner goes for this entry https://www.furaffinity.net/full/9316749/ by Kiokoe. This one certainly took the cake for creativity. This one seems to represent rebirth in a new life free from the pains and misery of the current life (Well potentially there's a whole new set to be experienced down the track, but that's irrelevant for now). The colours and shading is certainly enchanting, and the fact that it is an abstract idea could possibly have put it in the number one spot, however this image seems to focus on saving a soul rather than saving a life. You get an item of your choice from the Deviantart store, up to $75 in value.
Sometimes literal and direct is good. Like the 3rd place winner, the piece that wins first place in the competition, took a very direct route and its meaning is clear. But that's not all about this piece. The shading certainly manages to give the image a foreboding atmosphere thanks to the setting and the dark palette used (Just a heads up, On some monitors its almost impossible to see anything but the direwolfs eyes), but if your monitor is awesome enough to be able to view the artwork, you are in for a treat. The detail on the kid and the direwolf is also to be commended. So without further delay, I announce the 1st place winner, of my 3rd competition, it is Moose15 with the pic http://moose15.deviantart.com/#/d5hy941. Send me your Paypal details at your convenience.
Of course everyone put in the effort to enter, so ill extend the effort a little bit further. Thank you to princepudding (Or maybe sunnydeathray if their account is still hacked) who also entered with the piece http://princepudding.deviantart.com.....-guy-339687058. I might do a feature journal later on with some of your works, for putting in the effort to enter.
While not playing a factor in the deciding role, you can also extend thanks to moose15 for allowing the competition to be extended, allowing more people to participate and making the comp worth while. Lastly thanks to all who entered. Keep an eye out for competitions in the future (Hopefully ill be a little more organised for those ones).
Thanks

Can i just have the $30 ?
What I will not grant you is a pass for you behaviour. The reality is, you could damn my name across all corners of the internet and I couldn't care less. But when you then go and marginalise the achivements of the other competition participants in your journal, with statements such as "Don't pick friends over people who take there time A LOT OF PEOPLE DO DO THIS". As if their artwork was so horrible that the only way they could have won was cause they were a friend, that is what I will not tolerate. Everyone who submitted put in a lot of effort and that fact is pretty clear from the work submitted.
With each artwork, I tend to try to be open and state some things I like about each artwork and sometimes I do include a little criticism. I can understand not winning might be disappointing, and maybe offering so much as a first prize might be a mistake as it only deepens this sence of dissapointment. I can also apologise for the amount of time taken to post the winning journal, I didn't have my stuff together and that was my own fault. But I stand by my final decision, and the idea that everyone put a lot of work in, and I hope that eventually you can come to a stage where you can apologise to Moose15 for insinuating otherwise and sincerely mean it.
like really i was talking about my self.
:l
and i do use da i have an account there...
AND THAT it's true
If you where a user on da and enter a contest by a username Rock something. She picks friends over people who TAKE TIME to do work... If people want to pick friends over other's who take there time. Whats the point? . Let alone in her contest she blocked those who talked about her playing favoritism .
So how is this such an insinuating if it's NOT about moose?
i mean really i am guessing you did not read the journal fully :l
As for the picking the friends part, ok, I can accept you may have been talking about that contest on DA for that statement. While not necessary, it might also be handy to know that while Moose15 has been on my contact list for ages, we don't really interact much. The last time we spoke before this competition was probably 2-3 years ago, and even then we didn't interact much.
Anyway, Moneys been sent, check that you received it ok.
