Unfortunately I don’t think the top 100 hundred list has no bearing on how good an artist is, only how many ratings they get. I had a bad experience a while ago, where a person asked my to look at there picture and rate it while it was a nice picture it wasn’t worth a 5. I gave it a rating of 4. then that person e-mail me back saying they day deleted my comment and rating and to go back and rate it 5. I didn’t take too kindly to this and I promptly told them what they can do with there rating. So now I have zero belief in the whole rating system and hardly ever rate anyone’s picture I just give constructive advice. Oh well that’s human nature for you.

I think someone's got their domain name, they're in bit of trouble, then again both sites might just be down. but if someone want to tell us what's going on please do.

excellent work my friend let my know when you put the full version up. I've got to look more closely at my copy of carrara. I only use it for the toon shaders, it certainly can do much more. Thanks for sharing

  Man that’s heavy duty. I never have the patience to do that. I’m dieing to see the facial stuff keep it up buddy.

this looks very professional. It gets better and better. camo looks great. I'm really enjoying this seeing it from start to end

The bump mapping on the shoulders looks good, you should turn this into a poser model. I use philc cr2 editor it works really well at converting objects into figures. Keep it up

that is a great job on the UVs. It should easy to texture, keep going

I think once you've textured him. He'll look fantastic. keep it up I'll be watching

must admit you some excellent modeling bro. I only model sets and props it's a hard job doing full figures my hats off to you

Right on man I'm enjoying the holiday as we speak. It's great to be an Ozy  fare dinkim, !!!!!

When I first put this in I had no idea that it would blow out to this. I’m really glad people got the point about things being taken to the extreme and that we have the right to question the rules. I think the main reason this happened is because the images were accepted in the first place and after a week or two they were rejected. It seemed like somebody had changes the rules. I had no problem with them rejecting my entry as there was something that could have been misinterpreted as genitals; I was totally oblivious to that fact till it was pointed out to me. The judges have an incredibly hard task of interpreting the rules if they are not clearly written. We should never point our anger at them they are doing the best they can. Before you put rules up, do your homework or create clearer ones which lead to less problems. I noted that the Nimbus characterI use in the contest has no nudity warnings in the market place why do you have one set of rules for the market place and one for contest, shouldn’t it be one universal rule for the site and not be dictated by sponsors. You still have not clearly defined what human attributes are and if I turn that some character into a statue the fleshy rule no longer applies but the same sexless character is there just in a different category. Well all this seems rather insignificant after one of the members threatened my life. I hope people start pulling together as we are here for a good time, not a long time and we’ve got better things to be doing.    

Ok after six hours of trying to figure out what you guys were on about. I got home, to look at the picture and I had no idea that there was anything between his legs how it got there I have no idea. Now I see why you let the other one like mine go, they didn’t have anything between their legs. I can see how you can misinterpret it, as something else. This was not something I did on purpose the model physically has no genitals so until I saw the picture I had no idea why I was being targeted. I want to apologize for the ruckus I’ve caused, and any hard feels that may have been misinterpreted. You guys were spot on with the rejection all I can say is the devil made me do it. You guys have to cover your ass and we do to literally.    

A skeleton is a humanoid figure it has two leg two arms and a head humanoid. I was making the point you were taking the rules to the extreme and not in the good nature of the contest. Your right guys it just an art contest not a war I’ll put a pair of Speedos on him and we'll call it even.

Well people you are going to have to take out every skeleton that doesn’t have its genital region covered and I don’t see that happening. I think you missed the whole point of this, it wasn’t a shot at you guys. I’m not going to resubmit because obviously I would get discrimination against So thanks for the help  

Well done to the winners I think the judges have made an excellent decision.
