That bad, huh?

Re: That bad, huh?
It's not so bad. Don't care about the score. IMHO voting for the art is very stupid thing.
Hello Damien Dark.....
Hey, if we're not voting for the score and not voting on the art, why are we here? IMHO, you're pretty smart and talented yourself!
Re: Hello Damien Dark.....
Thanx, Eddie.
I just wanna say that it isstuping thing - to estimate the quality of the art...
The are a lot of people who think that Vallejo is a greate artist and Francisco de Goya with Saturn Devoring his children or Edvard Munch's "The Scream" are just 5yrs old child's paintings. For example my girlfriend, who study in art school don't my favorite Giger, and I don't like impressionism... It means nothing. I'm sure that you can find a lot of people who will vote 3 on Zdislav Beksinski, becose his paintings are not so nice as the apntings of Andrew Gonzalis...
Hmmm... i speak a lot...
I just wanted to say that the tile above is pretty one and i vote 5 :)

Re: That bad, huh?
reminds me of some trolls I saw once in a book or something...
or perhaps in a wicked dream...
it's not bad. nonetheless, there seem to be a ... hmm...(the contrary to inflation) ... on high scores nowadays... ... or perhaps inflation is the right word? ... oh well, you see the context here so you probably get my point even tho I'm rambling.
is it a slime reaper perhaps?
or a grim slimer? =)

the Truth......
Respondants all:
I sat for awhile and studied that incoming border at my top edge and realized that there was very little that I could do to utilize it in my motif. I saw that there was a row of dark pixels seperating my upper left border from my new territory and I knew that I was fucked. Strange as it seems, as I mused the waiting creation, I thought of just masking my square and using Gecko's favorite smudge tool and just dragging adjacent color into my square. There were moments that my thoughts were just to quit the tile and cancel, I was drawing a complete blank on what to do with this tile. I wiped the green around into the field of black and quite inadvertantly, I saw what looked like a face showing up! Lo and behold, I created a recognizable face although I confined myself to the green hue of joining grass and as a departure to the right hand border, be that a tooth, a claw or an eyeball, my rendition of a scythe would break my transition into a neighbor to the right.
The tile was on board but a mere ten minutes when already I had garnered my first pair of deuces! What a fuckin' bummer that was. I still believe that even when any particular tile out here pisses me off enough to vote two, I'll always try to help the artist by offering a criticism to warrant a low score. I'm more like to say why I think that certain work only merits certain points because, etc.
I like it here at ice because a year ago, I'd have told the low voter to justify their lack of enthusiasm, I'm growing my friends, I could care less why or what they voted. IT TAKES A GREAT ARTIST TO BE A GREAT CRITIC... I voted myself a four because out of the ten tiles presented as new on the board, it was two of mine that had been awarded the lowest score of all and again by only two voters who were here at the same time. Ice has done much to raise my self esteem, you sweet members have done that. I am honored to feel that whether high or low, that I was voted on at all. The "score" doesn't matter to me anymore because if I was in this for the points it might seem more like Sony Playstation than a collaborative of serious artists in an interplay that is as old as time itself. I've learned a few things here and foremost among them is that citizenship is as much an artform as pixel-pushing. Here, we have friends, not adversaries, we have fellow students and not competitors, we have wholesome competion and not cuthroat dueling. Here, we can take it or leave it and draw out even more than we are willing to put in. It's a beautiful place Oskar and I'm glad to feel at home here. Thank you for substantiating my existance at ice.org......

row of dark pixels seperating my upper left border from my new territory
ho Eddie...
after reading the bit about "...row of dark pixels seperating my upper left border from my new territory and I knew that I was fucked." i checked out your checkout tile and used max magnification with gamma turned up just a bit... and i cannot see the dark row in the upper left that you mentioned. there is also no noticeable line between our tiles.
perhaps you meant the upper right? but that wasn't just an offcolor line, it was the edge of the base of the wine glass. again though there's no obvious line between our tiles so i think the blend went fine... and i'm not sure how you got screwed by my edge. [i've received much worse]
anyway, i always trim off the edges of my tiles, the same size as my neighbors will be receiving from me, and view the pieces alone and at max magnification to avoid screwing anyone with my borders.
btw, i agree that the "pair of deuces" was low. i voted the same as yourself.

OOPS.....
Yes Tony, you're right, that is, my right the upper RIGHT hand. No, there was no dark line but if you study under magnification the color contrast between pixels in the 15th row and those in the 16th, it actually seems to form a straight edge which was meant by my reference to a dark line.
True, I could've done a better job with the upper border but the blending was not as easy as it looked when I previewed the tile. Don't worry kiddo, your tile was a good tile with a credible border but I guess that I missed the opportunity to maximize on it! Maybe next tile! Eddie

Re: OOPS.....
hi Eddie,
shorter version...
what i meant was that i intended for the glass to end there at the border rather than morph into something else ( that's what you did ;o), and i think your blending in this tile is just fine. neither mine, nor the other border you got, sent you anything to continue really. luck-o-the-draw i reckon.
peace
