GTPAAC Participant Meetings and Polls (UPDATED, 2/11)

Omnis · Dec 21, 2004

News - 2/11: I'm thinking of moving the contest so that it will start on friday afternoons, and end on friday nights or saturday mornings. i've been thinking about this throughout the week, and have decided that friday intervals would be the best bet. i didnt want to start a new competition and wait a whole extra week to put this into action. however, i'm not going to change anything without you guys voting on it and discussing it...so please voice your opinions in this thread. I believe a friday start will allow us all to get a jump start on our cars, as we will have the whole weekend to utilize. i can either start a competition for sunday the 13th as planned, or i can start one tommorow morning to go with the new schedule. it all depends on how much feedback i get in this thread.

along with the above, i've also taken the week to consider Mr. Esperante's suggestions. tell me what you all think, and maybe we can start a fresh, revamped program.
thanks for bearing with me.

Are you going to put the poll up for week 11 or not.

Omnis · Dec 22, 2004

yeah, today at noon.

i told you.....i get my camera back then, so i can finally take the picture of my drawing. dont sweat the polls too much. they will be taken care of.

Omnis · Dec 22, 2004

Could the mods sticky this please?

just for new people or anything else.

Pebb · Dec 23, 2004

I thought you said the poll was going to be up yesterday at noon well it is not up still.

VIPFREAK · Dec 26, 2004

Ok... so I guess I didn't miss the cutoff for week 11? Anyway, what exactly does the new name stand for?

edit: Nevermind... I saw it. :dopey:

Pebb · Dec 29, 2004

So will there be a poll for Week 11 yes or no.

VIPFREAK · Dec 29, 2004

Crap.. I could finish my Z then

Pebb · Dec 29, 2004

Lol oh thats the reason maybe then.

Omnis · Dec 30, 2004

sorry guys. i will have to hold competitions until i get back home. i am currently in arkansas for the holidays...and thus, i have VERY limited internet access. we are way away from the city, so server lines suck. lol.

i'll try and do polls today, but i left my dino pic at home, so that will have to wait. i'll just make the polls today, or try to do as much as i can anyway.

sorry to keep you all waiting.

Omnis · Jan 7, 2005

hey guys.

i think we need to do as much as we can to increase traffic to these competitions. i think it will make it a lot more fun....not to mention broad.

advertise!

i also am contemplating creating character competitions (again...). post your thoughts on the matter.

Omnis · Jan 18, 2005

bump. check out the news.

Omnis · Feb 5, 2005

dont forget to post your car ideas, guys. im always listening (duh)

shima · Feb 5, 2005

I think "concept" competitions are a good idea.. we should definately be free to create a unique concept of the base car.. i think guidelines just restrict us unless they are very general and loose.

base cars should be simple, and known. for instance, the 94+ camaros.. easily recognizable, and should hold plenty of surprises

Esperante · Feb 6, 2005

Sorry if I sound like n00b....

Here's what I think the comps could benefit from...

Instead of harshly specific cars, maybe the theme could be a whole classification? i.e. 1967 LeMans cars, early type Ferrari's, etc.

Second, maybe a different, seperate comp for designs, where themes could be along the lines of 'high speed off roader' or 'drift car...'

Just my two cents.

shima · Feb 9, 2005

Two cents well worth their weight, if i might say so...

Two GREAT ideas.. not n00b at all 💡

well it sounds good in theory. i dont think anyone here will disagree.

but you will be expected to hold up to the schedule.

and once you change this, please dont change it again for a while.
make sure you can hold the schedule.

Omnis · Feb 12, 2005

that's the whole idea.

Cano · Feb 14, 2005

when I was in charge of these things, we tried the two comps at a time thing, one with base cars, other for concepts (remember the green car) with no success because of the lack of participation. I'd love to see it coming along and having people in it. I'd damn participate in these, indeed, evenif only with some pencil sketches. if you people get to do these, let me know! Vipfreak, Omnis, you both have my msn, so tell me if you do, please! and for god's sake, at least inform me of what car are you drawing each week on msn, I would have LOVED to do the Integrale! I'll try to get back into these as much as I can. I miss this stuff.

Omnis · Feb 14, 2005

i dont see you on a lot. but i'll look for you from now on.

Dark Skyline · Feb 14, 2005

I thought the week 16 comp was supposed to go up last night?

shima · Feb 14, 2005

Omnis I would like to take over the comps if its alright with you. I have a certain itch i've been needing to take care of.

VIPFREAK · Feb 21, 2005

Just a little tip for you all... I'd highly recommend getting Scott Robinson's "Hotwheels: How to draw cars" book. It's basically the methods I know and use. ( The outcome is a little different though :banghead:

)

:tup:

Esperante · Feb 22, 2005

What if the concept competitions and car comps alternated? Like, one week you're set to draw a specific car, the next you have to design one. Pros are that it would keep participation alive due to more free time to draw, cons are that people who only like one comp will likely skip out every other week.

VW-dragger · Apr 12, 2005

hey guys i have a question would you plz draw a vw golf 4 modified thx already

Omnis · Apr 12, 2005

anyone else express interest in drawing the golf?

Pebb · Jul 3, 2005

It seems it is dead now.

VIPFREAK · Jul 4, 2005

Since getting my new job there's not really anytime for me to do drawing unfortunately. :grumpy:

Pebb · Jul 4, 2005

Same here I have had less time to do drawing aswell.
