We all have at least one piece of art we have been disappointed with at one time or another. Now is the chance to show off your sketch covers and see who has the most disappointing one out there.

Who owns the Most Disappointing CGC SS Sketch around? You decide!

 

:rulez:

 

1) You are free to post any sketch that you have been disappointed with upon receiving it back from the artist.

2) CGC SS Only. Any sketches currently en route to or presently at CGC for CGC SS are also acceptable.

3) If you know of a sketch that you think is the best nominate it. One nomination per owner. Owner with multiple sketches nominated must pick only one sketch to be voted on.

4) When nominating, please include artist name and owner's board name. Any sketch w/o all this info will not be eligible. Also having the CGC label visible does not negate this; as not all labels are readable. Recommend way to present the sketch is:

 

Owner: Joe Cool

Artist: Cooler Joe

5) Round 1: All nominated Sketches will be voted on in a Poll. Then the Top 2 will face off. The winner will be declared the Best of the Best Most Disappointing CGC SS Sketch!

6) Tie Breaks: In the event of a tie for the second spot in the Finals, a 48 hour sudden death round between the tied sketches will be implemented. In the event of a tie at the end of the finals, a 24 hour sudden death poll will be implemented.

7) One Month after being declared the winner, A sketch may challenge for the title. The new challenger(s) must be nominated by 3 board members. In the event of multiple challengers wanting to take on the champ, they will first compete against each other in a battle royal. The winner of the battle royal will then get a title shot at the existing champ.

8) What makes the best sketch is up to the voter: Best Art, Artists, Grade …

9) In Team categories only, collages/multibook murals composing are single overall sketch are now eligible to compete.

10) Reigning champions can compete in any category for which they are eligible.

11) The winner decides the next category. Their cover will also represent the CGC Best of the Best as the Facebook Profile picture until the next category is complete.

a) A category can be something simple as Best of the Best %character% or %artist%; or something as complex as Best of the Best Blue Pants (character must be wearing blue pants lol ).

b) It can be as narrow or broad as the winner wants. Let your imagination run wild.

c) If it is so narrow that only one book can compete, the winner must pick a new category. If no new category can be picked, a new one will be selected based on a public poll.

 

The Winner gets Bragging Rights and will decide the next category!

 

Remember this is for fun and to showcase your art. So lets keep it that way and check the drama at the door.

It seems to me that this thread is not in the best interest of the sketch community on a whole. Paul has stated in the past that comic book creators frequently "read" the boards. This can only embarrass artist who's work ends up being displayed here.

 

I might be a little over sensitive but I think we might want to pause and think this one through a bit.

I think there are many variables besides the sketch it's self that lead to disappointment: how it appears compared to what was requested, how long it took, cost etc. I know one artist is drawing covers and selling them while ignoring commissions he is a year behind on. I think the most disappointing sketch is the one you don't even get. My 2 cents.

We will let it go for another 24 hours if people dont want to post anything then ill have Ultra pick another category. Personally I dont see any issue with it. I have got my fair share of disappointing art before. I usually sell it off on ebay but I am sure some people still have some.

 

If an artist is upset that they are posted in the thread then maybe next time they will step up their game.

I'd be embarassed myself to put up the most disappointing sketch I ever recieved. I think it is bad for the artists, bad for the board, and would discourage people from getting sketch covers. Besides its supoose to be the Best of the Best not the Worst of the Worst. There are plenty of DC and Marvel characters not represented yet including Doctor Strange, Daredevil, Flash, Green Arrow, and Green Lantern.

Ultramanking won the last contest and he PMed me this category. All I do is set up the threads. If no one is interested in this in the next 24 hours he will pick again. However it should be noted I have received several PMs about this already with people showing me their disappointing sketches.

 

I assume they decided not to post here because of the Drama fest that is the SS room.

 

Anyways if people are unhappy with the choice then feel free to PM the last winner and offer a suggestion. As I stated before if nothing shows up in the next 24 hours then we will run a different one.
