It wasn't judged for the artwork really...more for the story. Mine was critiscized as being "amusing, but nothing really stood out", "the humour was forced" and it was too long. Graphically, I think I submitted the best one.Disney Duster wrote:I was really expecting better marks for that, as well. The other contestants must've come up with a Michelangelo. I thought quite a bit was actually clever. Maybe the judges just weren't smart enough to get it.
What makes me feel like a fish out of water on Final Fantasy Shrine Forums is that most people there have to turn every thread into a sexually perverted one. Bad words and vulgar language rule. In fact, all the other comic strip entries had some vulgar or sexual stuff included. I don't know how to make stuff like that, and I don't want to do it anyway. If I want to joke that way, I only do it with my closest friends, not on the internet where everybody can read it.
However, just like you can't judge a book by it's cover, you can't judge a person by what you see on a forum. I still post at Final Fantasy Shrine, because although everyone can be vulgar, a lot of people there are still nice and have good intentions, even if their joking consists of constantly mentioning sexually oriented words. I think I must be the only one on Final Fantasy Shrine who has never uttered a vulgar word.
It's not like I'm a saint or anything. At school we laugh and joke about a lot of rude and vulgar and sexually oriented stuff (I suppose all teens do
). But I believe firmly that you have to draw a line somewhere. Personally, I don't think it's decent to joke the same way on something public, like a forum. It's embarrasing anyway. 
...and yes, stay out of the "post yourself naked" thread!!! MY EYES!!!
