I'm not trying to nag or anything, but how long does it usually take for a contest to be judged after the entries are closed? It's been nearly 3 weeks since the 'Future Psychics' contest finished and no word has been given since.

Generally, results are posted around the time the next contest closes. Then the next contest starts at around the same time, so we'll usually have one open contest and one contest being judged at any one time.
Sometimes the results are posted sooner, but it can take far longer it some cases.

**Rutskarn** · 2009-09-17, 11:10 AM (ISO 8601)

Plus, this contest doesn't even end for like thirteen days.

Okay. Thanks for the info.

Sometimes it also just takes me a long while before before being able to make the trophies, because real life keeps getting in the way.

Pffft. It's not like they're good or anything

**happyturtle** · 2009-09-18, 11:55 AM (ISO 8601)

I'm working on my very first iron avatarist entry. Is it permissible to use modified public domain clip art for a prop, or should it be 100% original?

**V'icternus** · 2009-09-18, 12:38 PM (ISO 8601)

Well, I'm no authority on the matter, but I think direct image copy wouldn't work (even as a prop), but traced images would be fine. You'd have to ask a judge, though...

Does that answer your question?

**happyturtle** · 2009-09-18, 04:44 PM (ISO 8601)

Yes, but it in context, it seems to be referring to using the Giant's art, not public domain work.

I ended up making my own stalks of wheat anyway, but I'd still like an official answer for future reference.

**Serpentine** · 2009-09-19, 01:16 AM (ISO 8601)

Copy-pasting a sample "wheat stalk" into your image would be a no-go. Using a sample "wheat stalk" to design your own should be fine. Showing us just what you mean would probably help, though...

For my entry, I wanted to pay tribute to a genuine hero who died earlier this month. Bio and reference pic.

What Serpentine said.

100% you're own art, but rip off others as you see fit.

**V'icternus** · 2009-09-21, 10:55 AM (ISO 8601)

So if I rip off work done by the judges, I'm sure to win! ^^

After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

...But I'd rather stick with what I've submitted, so I'll leave it for someone else to do that.

**The Vorpal Tribble** · 2009-09-21, 04:23 PM (ISO 8601)

Btw, if any of you are good at doing non-humanoids in OotS form and would be willing to do me a favor please send me a message.

**Serpentine** · 2009-09-22, 12:47 AM (ISO 8601)

>tentatively raises hand< <.<

**V'icternus** · 2009-09-22, 03:21 AM (ISO 8601)

You don't need to raise your hand, Serp, we know you can do anything.

I, however, suck at non-humanoids... I think. I've only really done a few... none recently, after my awesomeness lessons from Tiff.

I almost missed this time to get to work on a new avatar, hope it takes less than a week.

And on his farm he had a Tarrasque, EEK! AHHH! EEEK! AHHH! NOOOOOO!

**Jokasti** · 2009-09-27, 07:11 PM (ISO 8601)

I was like 3/4 of the way done with a rural scene of three guys on a porch, talking about the weather. It went something like this:
1st guy: "My knee's swellin up. Blizzard's comin ta town."
2nd guy: ""Naw, my pinky here just cracked. I'ma sayin sandstorm."
3rd guy: "Ah! My duodenum! That means..."
Looks at list.
"Meatballs?"
Then my computer died, and I forgot to save.
Blech.
I am not going to restart this.

There must be something about Iron Avatarist that kills computers...

Maybe Inkscape?

ps. Inkscape works fine for me. I could only crash it once.

**V'icternus** · 2009-09-28, 12:48 AM (ISO 8601)

I could probably make a graph showing the increase in crashes as awesomeness and irreplaceability of project grows...
