PXR's Talent Show (SHOW US WHAT YOU GOOOOOT!)

[Chakramaster]

Well I wanted to participate, really did, but when the deadline closes the weekend after your finals, there's really just not enough time to whip something together in time. Oh well. Great submissions from everyone who did get to participate. They're all amazing.

You people rock. I like what I see for submissions. :3

I just got too busy and stumped to jump in on this thing. That and every time I tried to think of what to do, my mind went blank. So kudos to you all for doing what I couldn't do.

Yeah all thee submissions are amazing! Sadly yeah, I didn't expect this to last as long as it has. So I rushed the final dates. I didn't expect it to last past April honestly. Just lack of interest and time I had to set it before a certain time for a reason. So I had to cut a bit and short and sweet the posts too sadly. Even the simplest of ideas would've been accepted, but time is and was short. So it's no worries. I'm glad to see the amazing work we had submitted.

And sorry I had to rush it, Noble. It had to be ended before a certain timeframe so I had to rush it ;n;. Next time I'm gonna plan things out better and make sure that it's stand alone and not around a busy time frame for others that'll make it hard to run and be successful.

My critiques are in.

Art wasn't working out, Writing would take too long, and opening an Ultra Wormhole to summon an Ultra Beast to fight seems a bit too dangerous. So you get this:

I will have you know it is exeedingly hard to play woodwind instruments with only two finger on each hand. (And I totaly didn't mess up the volume or timing at parts...)

Oh, and just to avoid confusion, I didn't play the backing. Just the Ocarina part. (Not that anyone would think I'm that amazing though :P)

It's really better than you give yourself credit for. I'm not an ocarina player myself, but I am a musician believe it or not. Your timing was pretty solid for the most part, and I didn't notice any "messing up the volume". It was a very nice piece, and you played it very well. :]

Since I haven't had a lot of time as of late for extra drawings, I threw something together that's kinda simple. I did try skipping lines and working directly from sketchings for once, just for this, to see how it goes. And for what's it worth, I'd say it turned decent enough.
I call it the don... buuuuut I had so many things I wanted to add: a chair, a suit, a paintingframe, bodyguards, blackjack, robots, the pillars of eternity! Our lord and savior RNGesus!! Everything!!!
But yea none of that ey, so here's a watered down version. Enjoy

I'm gonna be honest, the thing I liked most about this piece of artwork was actually the table. It looks extremely detailed and well done!

Obviously, though, the focus of the drawing is the Togepi. Which you had an interesting take on! Togepi is normally thought of as a cute, baby-like Pokemon. But there's something... sinister about this Togepi judging from the facial expression. It's an interesting touch on this piece, and it makes me wonder how this Togepi is feeling. Nice job!

Yeah, look, since it hasn't been closed, I'm gonna post some photos I took.







Two of them I technically shouldn't have shared here... but meh.

These photos are excellent! They are quite pleasing to the eye, and from the few photography classes I took in school, you certainly seem to know what you're doing! I think the first one's my favorite. Well done!

Judging took a bit longer than anticipated, but final posts are coming later today. Be sure to keep an we out for them!

Sometimes it can be truly hard to express a musical piece, but I really enjoyed it! For a song that's supposed to symbolize how close we all truly are, no matter how far we differ. Whether it be by distance or language. We all share many similarities. Music can be a connection we all share and love. You hit most parts, while a few notes here and there sounded slightly off. Nothing about it sounded "bad" though, so that's a good thing! Well done!

This piece speaks a few different thoughts to me. Why is this Togepi so grumpy? That table looks really well detailed, yet so empty. You chose a focus and added in a few extra details here and there. It just seems to work with it all and go with the flow.

I agree with Charizard here. There just feels like there's something more sinister to this Togepi. What is making it so upset, is it mad, angry, sad? Or is it up to no good here. It's really well done either way!

Yeah, look, since it hasn't been closed, I'm gonna post some photos I took.

Oh man, these truly are some COOL pictures man! You got a really nice talent for this sort of thing! Maybe one day you can take a picture of Pikachu or even Charizard here. Haha! He loves his picture taken!

But seriously, even if you feel you shouldn't have shared them we appreciate it! These went over really well. Big congrats to ya my man!

What I mean by I shouldn't have posted them is not that I lack confidence in them or anything.

The top one is a kid from youth group, and we have parental permission to share photos on our facebook page, but not anywhere else, and the bottom one is of my cousin, and I didn't ask his parents before posting this.

More so that I could get in trouble if people found out I shared them hahaha

All of you did a fantastic job, but Desolate Divine took risks (literally) and it worked out for the very best! In it's own form. It is art in a natural beauty.
