As I mentioned in the ANS10 spoiler thread. I think it would be fun to hold a series sketch artist awards ceremony. I think we should start right here with ANS10. I need some suggestions for the categories.
My thoughts would be polls based on certain criteria. Please post pics of some examples for your vote. This could be a lot of fun and some competition between artists. I don't know about prizes or trophy but that can add to the discussion.
I'm not sure how many categories but here are a few suggestions:
best sketch B&W
best Sketch Color
best Use of Humor
best base stock sketch
best use of shaped sketch
Favorite sketch artist for series
Most unique use of a wacky character
Best Combo sketch
I know shaped sketches is new so some artists weren't probably sure what to do so this could really be fun to show some great examples and bad examples.
I need to double check the poll setup for our forum because I would like to keep balloting private.
I can't believe we haven't done this before. It should be a lot of fun. Remember we need pictures from your own collection or eBay. Post suggestions here and I will set it up. Not sure how long to run the polls and competition but it should be when the series starts to die down and then we will lock in a date.
Thoughts?

I am for that, It sounds good to do that. When are we going to start posting and can we use other series besides ans10?
-
Interesting idea Brad. I agree, it could be a lot of fun.

I don't understand what you mean here. Keep what private?
-

I think we should start now with ANS10. We could also do OLDS4 since its still for sale. I need suggestions.

Duh! LOL we need to keep balloting private such as the oscars and Grammys. It has to be unavailing at the ceremony. Maybe we could televise this internationally. A total black tie affair! . Trust me, I just thought of this and have no intention on swaying the voting. I think with everyone's pitch it could be close or swayed by a great example. Start digging!
-
Can you add -
Best / favorite overall sketch artist for series.
Worst / least overall sketch artist for series
For OS4 I already have my answers/ opinions on the above.

Hey Brad, I love the idea of doing a Sketch Cards Award thingy, but personally, I'm not sure if it would be in anyone's best interest to include "worst" categories. Sketch cards can take up every waking hour of the day, so I think most artists are at least entitled to a purple heart award! Just my 2 cents...
-

I honestly did not think of that aspect at all. That makes sense, to make the “winners” a surprise at the end.
I thought maybe you were thinking people’s opinion of sketches might be swayed by knowing how other people voted. LOL, yeah, a duh! moment, headslap

If the artists were allowed to draw any wacky character in the wacky packs universe for their sketch cards in series ANS10 then maybe we can also have a category for "most unique wacky character rendered"

You're probably right about worst sketch. That's why I need suggestions.

Love this idea!
-
Separate categories for color & b/w?
-
Separate categories for color & b/w?
I like this idea since some of the artists seem to shine more brightly in the color medium.
-
I'm updating opinions in my first post.
-
I also need suggestions on how to setup the poll.
The way it works is I might have to setup a separate poll for each category and list each artist to vote on. I may have to run this in a separate child board so it doesn't get all mixed in with the other topics.
I'll wait for some more suggestions and then set everything up on Friday.

On the other hand, keep in mind that many of these artists have already had experience with shaped sketch cards in the GPK series.
-
How about something like "Best use of Humor" or "Most Original use of a Wacky Character".
Several of the artists really go out of their way to make each sketch somewhat unique and not just duplicates of one another, regardless of the quality of the artwork. Not sure what the category would be to reward that effort. "Least cookie cutter" doesn't seem to do it justice.

I like the humor idea cuz some of these are really funny. My only thought is that this could be tough to judge. Are we judging just one sketch or an artists body of work? We could all post the funniest sketches we've seen and then vote on the best 6 or so.
I like this idea better than having return sketches because some artists returns never see the light of day and are sold directly to private collectors. We should stick with pack pulls.
-
How about Best Combo sketch
-
How about Best Combo sketch
That is a good one too but I haven't seen many combo's, if any, for ANS10. We could add it to the list. I don't know how many categories we want but I would think around 10 or so. Good variety.

That category would be the most fun of all. Consider it.

It would be fun but I better listen to Neil.
I have been thinking more on this and this is how it will probably work. I will list all artists in each poll. Throughout the month of April everyone will post scans of their favorite sketches and such. You can copy and paste them from ebay or a friend.
Everyone can vote and change their vote any time in April. No one will see the results until May 1.
Thoughts on that strategy? It will get everyone involved and could be fun if people get involved.

Your timing idea is good because it sticks with the theme of April as Wacky Packs month. We can vote throughout all of April and then get the results May 1st.

You should add a Category for "Pat's favorite BOTS Sketch"!

Yeah, and also Scot's bog creatures!

Yes, the Halloween Postcard BOG RED creatures really caught my fancy. Sadly, I just have the one sketch card but "collected" the images of others from eBay and here on the forum. I think we had about 35 of them shown in one of the forum topics at the time of that release. Most very unique. I went back and dug up the most recent update to the Bog Army.... http://www.wackypackagesforum.com/index.php?topic=1663.210 (http://www.wackypackagesforum.com/index.php?topic=1663.210) Then scroll down 4 or 5 posts.

I own the orginal art fro Bog and it's spectacular. I still need to get it framed. If you have some money to burn maybe we can work out a deal?

You're too funny!! If all Wacky sketches are eligible, I may just submit the Botman sketch, even if Plots finding Bots is Wackier :)

Thoughts on subcategories based on media used: graphite pencil, charcoal, pastel, pen and ink, ballpoint pen, water colour, oil paint, etc.
I think pen & ink and graphite pencil are more appropriate than shaded/not shaded - assuming these types of media are used.
Artists what have you used to do Wacky Package Sketches?

I used graphite pencil & India ink for mine.

It's not going to get that granular. I think you guys will all be confused enough with about 8 categories. There has to be a new thread for each poll so that makes 8 new threads to cover this. I found a mod for nesting polls but it hasn't been updated to our release of forum software so we have to do it the old fashioned way. It still should be fun but can confuse people since there will be multiple threads.
-
The polls are setup in a child board under Wacky Packages Discussion.
If anything needs to be changed please let me know.
-
Remember - You can change your vote at any time!

Brad the only thing about ANS 10 awards is that there are probably a ton of sketches we haven't seen yet. Starting with Olds 4 might have been better since we seen them all (pretty much).

True, but we have a whole month. We could also do OLDS4 polls as well. Make it a totally wacky April.
Ill try and add it but this weekend will be crazy. If someone wants to take the initiative I will set up another child board for OLDS4 so they don't get all jumbled into one.
-
I set up the board but I will have to set up the polls. I probably won't get to it until mid next week but since we've had so much exposure to OLDS4 it shouldn't matter. People will be ready for those polls.
I think this will be fun for the month of April. I may have to do my own sketch as a prize to the winning artists...HaHa :]

Brad, that's a fun idea but maybe you should ask Neil instead.😃

Only a couple weeks left so make sure to vote! You can change your vote at any time so vote today and change later. Right now we are only averaging about 7 votes per category.
Do it! Do it today! VOTE!

I'm holding off voting until I see ALL of the sketch cards (every last one of 'em)! More samples please!

Not saying you can sway the voting but I don't think it's against the rules to post scans of all your sketches. We really do want to see them. I haven't been to Engstroms blog in awhile. I wonder if he posted all of his sketches?

(http://aquickremark.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/vote-769378.jpg)
Vote now and if we get enough votes I will post an animated GIF of a naked woman walking in my living room :great:
You have to vote to see it. We only have a handful of votes now and we have a week left. eBay has slowed down on ANS10 sketches so look at posts and look at new and completed auctions on eBay for inspiration for your vote. Do it TODAY?
-
Everyone!
Only a couple days left. No need to wait. Vote now! I'm hopeful of at least 50 votes. We will do more of these but I thought this voting would be great for Wacky month that only lasted 3 days...LOL :] :]
-
Looks like the voting has ended. Not too many votes so I guess a lot of people don't have opinions on this.
Hopefully the ANS poll will be better. I'm trying to make this fun to come up with ideas to keep people entertained between series. If anyone has any other fun ideas I'm all for it.

Anytime you do something new, it takes time for people to catch on and participate. I'm sure you'll see a better response with each new sketch card poll...

Actually, I didn't even check the polls until now. Shame on me...

I was searching around for the polling results on the threads until I realized it’s a link on the Home tab
Click the Home tab, and look under the “General Wacky Packages Discussion” header

The "Wacky Polls" child board is also where we'll put the ANS polls once it's decided how to set them up. That discussion is in another thread, but I figured your screen shot here is a good place for me to point this out.

BTW, I notice now that the polling results ARE posted at the top of each thread that has a poll
It is nice to have them all listed in one place, so you don't have to find the original thread

Unfortunately we can't do more than one poll per thread. There is a mod for multiple polls in a thread but that mod hasn't been updated in awhile and it wouldn't install.
