Mistie Entries

Here is part 1 of the entries.

I thought a swift little wmv file with some swingin 60s mod remix music would set it off right.

Missing Codec.
Bet it is cool though.

cept you spelled me name wrong:)

Nice!!

Go ZWOFURTI!!

(my own schizophrenic fanclub :D )

So many different ways to see Mistie, it's a great display.

I agree^

Cano, AWESOME! Love that style, would work really well with a long bodied car.

DItto.. Excellent presentation. Your artistic abilities are so cool to watch. You have enough art to create a "Mistie Shrine." Thanks for the contest... Roboduck

-Lemorris

Thanx for the mac file lemorris :) It looks awesome!

Not sure what is up but my Media Player 9 will play the music and even the Mistie fade intro (Draw Mistie Contest 2005) at the beginning but I don't see any pictures. I unistalled Media Player and down loaded Media Player 9 and still got nothing.

Oh well.

Maybe I should get a Mac :)

The music sounds great Lemorris my coworkers love it.

hahaha

just upgrade your player or download the mpg file and play it locally.

Oh well.

Maybe I should get a Mac :)


:grinno:

Don't do it.
Macs are evil. :)

I am getting the mpeg file now, MY GOSH, that mpeg is 32MB, I guess mpeg uses less compression.

Thx for the tip

WOW! those are cool. I love the presentation too.
Lemorris, who sings that song? My coworkers are mad now, because they can't get that tune of out their heads. I play it loud too so the don't forget the tune....hee hee

The MPEG works great w/ Real Player.

LOL

It's a remix of a Dean Martin / Julie London tune named "Sway"

I'll get you more info when I get home

Awesome, lol!

It's great to see everyone's entries!

I know, he misspelled my name......lol.....

damn, i didnt even do my front wheel round..*shame on me*

now i feel bad.


:lol:

sorry for the misspellings

I'll fixem when I get home

it was late

Here's the Judge's Web Page:

http://www.58vw.com/mistiecontest/default.htm

That was really cool!!!! I like all the entries, Very nice work there. All the entrants should be proud. I was gonna enter but I have no time to draw anymore barely.

I just visited the judges page in 58vw.com. awesome entries all of them, specially the second one. Amazing style, remidns me of... ack, the name escaped! how was it? there was a guy around that painted with that style on acrylic. Well, whatever, the pinstripping is also cool. Now lets wait what the judges have to say about it.

Good luck everyone, and thanks for the comments on mine. Yes, it works well with muscle cars (:

Lemorris, can you put your html link on your first post just incase someone has a modem and can't wait for huge file downloads? Thx

Great work on the webpage display. :)
Are all the frames and boarders just html?

Thanks again

in 50 minutes its the 23th:)

merry christmas everyone!

My money is on either Ace, Cano or Al.
Cano that is some mad distortion goin' on in your toon.

im the only who did a realistic drawing on paper?

im the only who did a realistic drawing on paper?
i did ......but dint get it in

Me!

lets see, today the winner geta revealed.

Here's the link to the judges page

results tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.58vw.com/mistiecontest/default.htm

-Lemorris

who is the winner? :)

relax...I gotta compile and present.

I also have a surprise so hold your horses.

lol

-Lemorris

Lemorris who is the winner?
What is taking you so long to compile?
Aah what is compile?....hee hee

I'm setting up a long post with comments from all the juges in order of the images on the web page. I am also setting up a shell so they can be displayed on a web site. I just got the last one in today so I also have to calculate. We have a number system like NASCAR so we can add'em up and see who wins.

-Lemorris

Oh man, not the NASCAR scoring system!

So how many points do you loose for bad posts?
Can I add some sponsor stickers to my toon?
So who's gonna tech inspect each drawing and toon to see if they fit the Mistie template?

:lol2:

I'm so excited!
:lol2:

come on, come on....

i'm curious:)

OK here it is!

After much deliberation and calculation the results are in.

I'd like to thank everyone who participated. It was great!

now...

Here's Judge Patty's Critiques:

> Eric:--good fun-the exagerated wheels makes me laugh. Good body drawing
>
> Grantrl78 - 1:--Love the deco style--great sense of movement and
> cheekyness with the boxes.
>
> Charles:--Not afraid to rise to the challenge!--tough curves at a tough
> angle. Very inspired job. Read up on some 'how to' tutorials and start
> to draw your cars from boxes, this will show you how get more solid
> structure in your cars.
>
> Dean:--Wonderful brochure-like presentation! I love line drawings.
>That camber is such a eye
> grab at this angle, makes the tire look wrong even tho it is not. Neat
> handling of
> headlight bucket bumps--I have seen it in old advertising brochures nice updated use.
> Really like the presentation. But, the back window with the palm tree
> sticker is off and keeps grabbing my eye. Also consider sticking the
> dog's head out of the window a bit --he sorta looks like he just fits in
> the window shape at his ears and snout and creates a real flat spot. If
> you do watch out for tangents.
>
> Alix:--Mistie is a girl!! Love the eyes. This Mistie has great appeal
> and personality. Would like to see more of your stuff.
>
> Cano:--Very imaginitive and out there! Beautiful rendering-that's shiny
> clean chrome alright. It says bug but is confusing--need to silhouette
> better. Below the belt-line is good use of wonky angles but above (the
> roof and windows and carb parts) does not easily read--too crammed with
> information.
>What "I'm" missing in this shot is the bulge on the front fenders where the headlight buckets sit.


> Duffy:--A for effort. Keep trying. Draw, draw, draw---Start building
> your drawings in blocks, check the Trosley tutorials to help you to better
> understand structure.
>
> Asaenz:--Very representative of Misty and all that she is. Good solid
> feel to the drawing. Tangent happening with the palm tree and windshield,
> suggest moving > the tree to the right to clear the car.
> Good skills.
>
> Blip:--Cute cartoon-air cooled to air cooled! Impressive style and
> colouring. Makes me smile. Very nice dynamics in the drawing--love the
> fenders treatment.
>
> Zwofurti:--Beautiful illustration!
>
> Kustmace:--Strong pin striping. Strong design of car! Cool
> presentation-so much work. I thought your pencil drawing was great to.
>
> Honu - 1:--Too bad it's unfinished. Sort of an hommage to Lemorris
> cartoons. Love to see it finished!
>
> Grantrl78 - 2:--Knows their stuff. Beautiful. Love the treatment.
>
> Roboduck - 1:--FUN -very animated! Everything is there plus some. Love
> the rendering.
>
> Honu - 2:--Mistie in a Herbie situation! The lettering is overpowering.
> Need to set the stage more clearly--very crammed and difficult to read.
> Fun idea for a cartoon.
>
> Karmacae:--A really good try!
>You chose a tough angle for the rear end-easy to not get that back fender
>just right!
>Need to work on structure and planting the car on the ground. I like the
>cast shadow effect of the render on the hood. Need to check back to the
>model more if >you want the drawing this realistic.
>
> Mshkttck:--Need to resolve some spots--front fender to body and running
> board, decide how stylized you want it to be and fix the side windows
> accordingly
> because all this takes your eye away from what is a really nice drawing.
> Keep checking back to your reference model.
>
> Roboduck - 2:--Beautiful presentation!
>The angle and size of the rear tire throws off
> the whole drawing-need to fix the elipse and re-orient in fender. Front
> tire also needs to be tucked under the fender a bit. Definitely a shiny
> Mistie.

Hey wanna see what Judge Jeri said?

1. Asaenz:
comment:
Cool "Logo" feel! Ties right in to my specialty... TEE Designs! I Love the bold colors of MIstie popping off the black graphics in the background. Very clean. This design would sell well if put on the market.

2. Cano:
Comment:
I am always jealous when I see this kind of artwork! The exaggeration and movement are awesome! The details keep me looking at it again and again. The chrome is great and I love the candles in the headlights.

3. Kustomace
comment:
WOW! You went all out on this one! Again another design that screams to be mass produced! (that is a good thing in my world) the glossy paint over the matt background rocks. Great use of the elements!

4. Grantrl 1
comment:
Deco! Very cool! The monotone is great! I love it!

5. Roboduck - 2
comment:
A great use of exaggeration and movement! The chrome is awesome and the colors really pop off the background!

6. Grantrl 2
comment:
Just as great as the monotone entry! I could see this one hanging on my wall!

7. Blip
comment:
Gotta love it! Mistie looks as though she is blushing! The "old and new" theme even seems to extend to the style that both vehicles were drawn. MIstie has that very clean cartoon look while the corvair has a more detailed and modern feel.

8. Zwofurti:
comment:
Had to pick this one as one of my finalist! Very clean and it gravitates to my own 'conservative' style.

9. Roboduck -1
comment:
Wow! You swing both ways! Your other entry is wild and loose while this one is photo realistic! the contrast between the car and background rocks!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++


Other critiques you would like to give:

Eric:
Whoa! Mistie looks like she is ready for the wagon train! Original wheel design with the low profile tires. Great pencil sketch!

Charles:
Wow this is a hard angle to do without some great photo reference. But you have made a good start of it! (Personally, I can't draw a hubcap without a good photo to look at).

Dean:
Super composition. The close-up of the interior really adds to the design. Very clean

Alix:
Cool sketch! I like the use of the bold outline and the window lines.

Duffy:
What can I say? ... Interesting? The details and color over the flesh background.... oh yeah.... you drew Mistie... She looks cool too! a 'unique' blend of hand drawn art with computer tweaks.

Honu - 1:
Great start at a wonderful design! I hope you continue to finish it. It has that exaggeration style that I envy so much!

Honu - 2:
"David and Mistie sittin' in a tree...." Watch out though, I hear she has a big black boyfriend that likes to pond on anyone that tries to make the move on his mistie.

Karmen:
My favorite angle! I love ground shots. Pencil is a great medium!


Mshkttck:
Nice pencil. I bet it even looks better in person!

Lemorris you can call it nothing but you put together a great event :) .

Wow, thanks to the judges! Congrats to Zwofurti and everyone else who entered!

Special thanks to Lemorris for putting up such a great contest!

I hope there are more judges critiques, I would love to hear what everyone else has to say!

there's more comin

YAY!! I came in 5th!! :smokin:

Great job everyone, and congrats to all!

This is actually REEEEALLY coo, i'm GLAD!

Congratulations to the da man Zwofurti.

It was fun. I don't think I would have ever drawn a cartoon if it were not for this comp. I never considered myself to have an imagination so I studied toons and esp. the Hot Wheels Fat Back toon cars. Mine was modeled after those. Thanks to Jeri for teaching me how to color in PS. Thanks to Lemorris for putting this on and for making the webpage and stuff. Thanks to all the artists and judges.

How did you like the lil bugs in the DHP logo? hee hee

Al

oh yeah!
well, Im really happy I came into the top three, competition was damn tight. Thanks to the judges (Lemorris included) for the awesome contest and opinions, and for getting me in third!!
I'll take into account all the comments. After all, that's why I entered this contest for. That and of course, that cherry VW.
WE WANT MORE COMMENTS!!! :icon16:

thanks and congratulations to the winners and the participants in general.

First, congratulations to Zwofurti for winning the contest.

Second, thank you Lemorris for putting together a great contest.

Third, thanks to everyone who entered. Those were all great drawings.

And finally, to the Moderators, the contest judges, everyone at AF, all the lurkers, and everyone peeking around the door to see what fossils are for free and curiousity...


...MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

OK OK

Here's Trosley's:

1. Cano
comment: Whoa! This is it! Pushed as far as I think you should go and still respect the proportions of the car - very very very good! Go get 'em!

2. Roboduck 1
comment: Dig what you've done with the wheels and point of view - needs some kicked up stones and smoke to give us some feeling of movement.Cool!

3. Grantrl78-2
comment: Very good contemporary design. Looks good, feels good, it's got movement - do more!

4. Kustmace
comment: Yeah - Great overall presentation and originality - dig those wheels and stance.

5. Asaenz
comment: Nice overall design. Dig your chrome and head lights - cool window glass!

6. Dean
comment: Nice presentation and drawing...woulda' looked better with paint.

7. Blip
comment: Proportions are fooled with nicely, good details.....real nice feeling!

8. Zwofurti
comment: Very nice job, accurate with good detail work. Paint highlights would have made it looked waxed!

9. Eric
comment: I dig this one - nice proportions with attention to details. Check out photos of VW suspension at your local library...errr... I mean magazine stand.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++


Other critiques you would like to give:

Charles: Although rough this is a very good interpretation of the VW - try working on stiffer material using different pens or pencils.


Alix: A real jazzy rendition...cool but I would have liked to have seen a little more time spent on the paint job.


Duffy: Quick, bold...it makes it's point with a wild style!


Honu - 1: Nice attitude - nice pencil line...I want to see this one inked and colored! Go magic fingers.

Karmacae: Great point of view, nice drawing. A full body shadow on the ground would have helped "put it there".

Mshkttck: Good drawing, nice use of lights and darks and point of view.

More soon

Mery Christmas and Happy Holidays!

OK OK

-Lemorris

Congrats to all who entered and to Lemorris for all the work
you put into making this happen.

What a awesome Christmas gift to see comments from all the judges.
It's a great way to jump start your artwork to another level by using those comments

congrats to Zwofurti! Great illustration!

Thanks Lemorris for a great contest, and thanks to the judges for the great comments. Had a lot of fun putting mine together for ya.

Dean

Haha, awesome. Actually, it was still Christmas when I typed that... or an hour after christmas, I forget. Anyhoo, yeah that is a good idea, but how to make that into a fair contest, I don't know. First things first, deadline is Feb 14. Long time maybe it seems, but contest won't be up immediately.
