Holy crap i won?!? Im crying with joy thank you!!!

Fear not, you bloodthirsty vigilantes. Our disgraced winner withdrew his entry no sooner than he was informed of his victory. It was a simple act of Internet collaging on a theme that received more celebration than was anticipated.

It's official. We have endured our first Mail Sack scandal. As such, I will be discontinuing them. I would like to thank my family for their support during this difficult time, and ask the media for privacy while we pick up the pieces of our shattered lives.

UnderTheKnife, this bizarre incident has opened a portal between you and the winners circle. Render your vital statistics unto me while I contemplate my future at Bungie. I will announce my decision to remain as the Assistant to your Community Manager (or not) tomorrow.

Until then, good night and good luck.

Congrats everyone. :p

I wish I only had one of those art drawing tablets.

Pro Tip: A touchpad is NOT a good tool for paint.


ORLY?

The video was compressed, so here is the finished picture. I didn't spend much time on it, so it doesn't look all that good, but it shows that a touch pad can be used to render images (that aren't stick figures).

Seriously, I've drawn pictures with ketchup, pepper, and napkins in a restaurant while waiting for my food.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

That is really cool.
How long did it take?

Wow, what a completely unexpected result for me. Here I was thinking I'd a few too many and gone completely overboard. Now I realize that overboard is the only way to go (as far as I'm concerned, at least :D). Congratulations to everybody else who won, and for good measure, did I really win, or is my leg being pulled?

I think this was all a ploy to plunge Knife deeper into self-loathing, with the knowledge he won only on a technicality. Well played Hal.

Haha, very impressive and very unique of your artwork. How long did that take you? Sparten Ken 15, Someone just proved that you can draw with a touchpad :P

The original, uncompressed video was exactly 1:57:18. Funny enough, it actually took longer to convert the video to a workable format, speed it up, export it and speed it up more, and then upload to vimeo (which then took another thirty minutes for vimeo to do some vimeo stuff to the video.)

Sparten Ken 15, Someone just proved that you can draw with a touchpad :P

Though, in Spartain Ken's defense, I was using GIMP2, not ms paint. It's a free program, but it's interface is archaic when one isn't acquainted with it. Granted, MS paint is a surprisingly powerful tool.

I should also mention that I didn't mean this as a "ha ha, screw you!" to SK (he gets way too much crap as it is.) Rather, I don't want him to fall into the pitfall of thinking that quality is determined by tools, only to get frustrated when he gets better tools and his work doesn't improve instantly. It's something that I see a large number of aspiring artists fall prey to.

Acutally, it's not so much that nothing is impossible (I wouldn't try doing a super detailed rending with the improvised materials I mentioned above), but rather that the mark of a good artist is versatility. It shows problem solving skills and a good understand of rending to be able to work well with any given medium.

Lastly, a touchpad probably works best with vectors, which it can do just as well as a mouse or tablet, since vector graphics don't require supper amounts of quick precision.

No. Take no pity on him. In fact, just make fun of him more.

If this is the state of my art, then I secede.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

I didn't even notice there was a competition. Shucks.

Well guys, looks like you caught me red-handed, and I would have got away with it to if it wasn't for you meddling kids and your Dog!

Anyway, as a result, I am currently being sent to a dark chamber underneath Bungie's complex...I fear it may be the same chamber a former employee was sent to for leaking myth...I pray I'm wrong.

Either way, they plan to launch me into the sun on their day of reckoning, so that is, as they say; that.

This is my final will and testament, they allowed me one more post before they seal me in the chamber until their day of rule, so here it is.

To EvilCam: I leave all my earthly possessions.
To BurritoSenior: Mark my words I'll have you yet.
To Ken: :P
To Everyone else: See you starside.
