Wacom Contest, Up! and Thanks

Hey guys, thought I'd give an update on what's going on.

First off, thanks for everybody helping with the scholarship issue on my last journal. I really appreciate all the input, even if I didn't find any scholarships I could go for. I'll keep monitoring it all though, incase something does pop up. =) I can't reply to everyone, but I've read every message. =D

As for the Wacom Contest, the 50 semi-finalists were announced today. Unfortunately I didn't make it, but with all the other talent in there, I don't think I really deserved a place there anyway. =P I'm proud of the piece I made though, contest or not.

Finally, I'm seeing Up! tonight. It's the opening day and I'm really excited. I'll let you guys know what I thought of it. =) This is my first PIXAR movie that I'm seeing in theatres, believe it or not.

That's all for now. See ya! =D

Bolt was a great movie. Of the movies I saw last year, I enjoyed it more than Kung Fu Panda and just as much as WALL-E. I just loved the emotion that was in it. Every movie had their merits though. KFP had a real nice moral to it, and the character design was real cool. WALL-E was extremely creative too.

er not that your digitals are bad but come on no body likes regular pencil anymore! T_T by the way i like your art more than those peoples who got picked out for finalists! ^__^

To be fair, this was a huge contest with tons of people entering. You really need to be the best of the best to make it into the semi-finalists, let alone winning.

What I'd suggest is that you try entering smaller contests and work on your technique. Improve your anatomy, coloring and just do your best to get better in general. =)

And FYI, here are some traditional mediums that got chosen.

[link] (was done digital, but this style can be done traditionally)
[link] (pen and ink)
[link] (done in PS, but could be easily done traditionally)
[link] (colored pencil)
[link] (photograph, colored pencil)
[link] (colored pencil and marker)
:icontemiree:
I just replied to your other comment and linked you to some traditional ones that got chosen.

There were two that were picked that were colored pencil. One was pen and ink, one which was a photograph and colored pencil, and then two more which were done digital but could be done traditionally in the same style.
:iconj1w:
ok ok...heh i did notice the few, but a fork and spoon?
