I realized after I uploaded it.  It wasn't intentional.  I was using iaza on dail up so it took some time.  So I figured I'd ask.  Sorry.

No exceptions! Add a background. Having no transparency is part of the challenge. Why bother submitting something to a challenge if you aren't following the rules? If you're ignoring one of the rules, why not just ignore them all and submit something entirely different altogether to the gallery?

Ok.  I just posted my entry and realized there was 'no transparency' in this challenge.  Is this really that important?  My entry has no background so I made it transparent.  I could put it in a white or colored box, but that's usually frowned upon in the gallery.  I know this is supposed to be a portrait which usually has a background or backdrop, but mine is animated.  Any exceptions here?  Thanks.

Yeah, won't hurt anything, it'd just be more of a challenge to get that same contrast using assymetrical halves.


skamocore (Level 11 Psychopath) at 3/3/2009 4:31:53 PM

O :

Well, yes, left/right is the most logical, but if you really want to do top/bottom we're not stopping you.


ThereIsNoCure (Level 11 Godfather) at 3/3/2009 2:23:45 PM

Yeah, me too. SILLY SKA.

Little late now though.


BruceJuice (Level 4 Mercenary) at 3/3/2009 10:47:34 AM

I think the artistic purpose of Two-Face being drawn as left/right halves is to show the contrast between the two sides. The two sides are symmetrical and alike, but are very different.

I honestly think drawing a two-faced character with a top/bottom halving would defeat the purpose of making it two-faced.


skamocore (Level 11 Psychopath) at 3/2/2009 7:56:42 PM

o_O

Just make a portrait of a character that is comprised of two different halves. So yes, a rotating character would be ok.


Dr D (Level 2 Kukyu) at 3/2/2009 7:36:56 PM

What about an animated, rotating, 3D, half-face?

Sorry for all these questions. (speaking on behalf of others.)


ThereIsNoCure (Level 11 Godfather) at 3/2/2009 7:28:34 PM

I feel the left/right halfing is implied, but as it does not explicitly state otherwise, I don't suppose it will hurt to allow it.

Top/bottom halfing is hereby permitted.


skamocore (Level 11 Psychopath) at 3/2/2009 6:50:12 PM

I was under the impression that any half of the face was acceptable. It doesn't say anything about it having to be exclusively left/right (aside from the fact that the original character is left/right)...


ThereIsNoCure (Level 11 Godfather) at 3/2/2009 2:26:43 PM

Quake: Two different faces, faces that obviously do not belong to the same individual.

vampireslug: I'll have to check with [thUg] for a final word,  but I'm not sure if he'll be on to make the call.  Until then the rule is left/right halves of the face, as I'm sure was intended.

Edit: scratch that, do top/bottom if you really feel like it


blumunkee (Level 1 Thug) at 3/2/2009 12:53:56 PM

This sounds fun. I'm in.


Quake (Level 2 Hired Gun) at 3/2/2009 12:24:05 PM

does it need to physcially two  different faces, or can we do like different characteristics or expression?

Mind you, i mean very different expressions.


Photocopier (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 3/2/2009 10:39:29 AM

Yes, I have to do this


vampireslug (Level 4 Deputy) at 3/2/2009 6:58:19 AM

Will the face have to be bisected into left and right or can it be top and bottom?
