I didn't mean judge me... just say whether you liked it or thought it was funny. Thats all I expect when i first post a comic.
I liked it. I thought it was funny. Haha. [/sarcasm]

Okay, move along now.

Suspense is sacred.

Beware...
I'll post my entry in a while. I have the whole story ready, (extra long special) but I have recently (2 days ago) reinstalled my computer and a few important files were lost in the proces (including speech bubbles, I'll have to recover those first before I can finish the comic...

Edit: Finished the comic.
Celebrity Special

Back, I guess.
Just a question, but can you make a comic about a role a celebrity's played instead of an actual celebrity? I Really want to use a joke involving Jack Sparrow (Long Story), but I'm not entirely sure if it's allowed. >>

Well, you can't use Jack Sparrow directly, since he isn't a celeb but a fictional character played by Johnny Depp. But you can use Depp acting like him (OMG! Loophole! @o@). But somebody has to say something about Depp acting like Sparrow.

I apologize if I'm not making any sense.

Because Butch isn't here to say it (he's been gone for four days...):

THE CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY OVER!

Woot! SSB!
No one has won yet, Maneachiz. We still have to judge.

Since Butch isn't here I guess me and zuloon have to judge without him.

I'll talk to zuloon about the judging and possibly around the weekend we'll start judging.

Ok. I'm going to start judging.

Maneachiz
Relevance: Mr. T, in two panels. It's ok. 19/20
Humor: I don't find it to be funny at all. Sorry. 5/20
Comic Quality: Good. 18/20
Comic Mechanics: Again, good. 17/20
Celebrity Factor/Spriting Ability: You didn't even try spriting Mr. T 2/20
Total: 62

mageslayer99
Relevance: Very good. 20/20
Humor: It was a bit funny, but not much. 10/20
Comic Quality: Very organized. 20/20
Comic Mechanics: Good. 17/20
Celebrity Factor/Spriting Ability: You resized a overworld sprite as Nicole Richie. And you just edited some sprites to be the Red Hot Chili Peppers. 15/20
Total: 82

I'm still waiting for a reply from zuloon to see if he understands the judging stuff.

Yeah, alright. I'll work on it.

Maneachiz
Relevance: Two panels out of four; I'd say he's definately in the comic. Though it could have been better, it works. 18 pts.
Humor: Well, to be honest, I usually at least get what the creator meant to be funny. But in this case... sorry. The part where it says "0mg cliche" doesn't help either... It's like you knew you weren't funny so you tried to throw in some stuff that was, in your eyes, mildly funny. I guess 1 point for being random though, haha. 1 pt.
Comic Quality: I'd say it's pretty well made. Nothing stands out like a sore thumb. Although the spacing of the text isn't quite so accurate. But it doesn't matter that much, I guess. 19 pts.
Comic Mechanics: I'd say it's pretty organized. 20 pts.
Celebrity Factor/Spriting Ability: Umm...simple and plain, you can't. You did not try at all to do.. anything, really. :,( Bad cropping also. 0 pts.
Total: 58 pts.

I Think what didn't help either was it was part of a storied Comic. If it was a random comic I would of probably of made a better attemp at it.

Yes I'm dying to know I wish I can renter my entry since I knew I could have done better at the time since I certainly improved on my comicing due to experience though I'll just wait and see how I do but I admit that I just was probably a little bit inexperienced especially since my comic was finally finished right when the contest started.

I guess it was coincidence and I worked on this comic with the best of my ablities at the time though my more recent one I hate to admit are a bit better and my spriting skills have increased though I'm not discouraged since I had some good reviews on it but all I got to say is good luck especially to you Beco who will probably score big time on relavence.

BECO!

Thank you, four contestants for joining. No, really. I would've cut myself if it weren't for you guys.
----------------------
Maneachiz
Relevance: Mr. T in two panels. But that's good enough. 15/20
Humor: I don't get it. 3/20
Comic Quality: Visually decent. 16/20
Comic Mechanics: All good, except for the bubble in the 2nd panel and a spelling error on the third one. 17/20
Celebrity Factor/Spriting Ability: You just posted a picture of Mr. T. 4/20
Total: 55/100 - F

mageslayer99
Relevance: Celebrities on every panel x 3 = 20/20
Humor: Lacks humor, though. 6/20
Comic Quality: Looks really good. 17/20
Comic Mechanics: The text on the bubbles look lazily pasted. And Matt Damon doesn't look like he's being attacked. This comic lacks some movement. 12/20
Celebrity Factor/Spriting Ability: You only edited 2 of the sprites for the Chili Peppers and only cut down the middle of the sprite for Nichole Ritche. 2/20
Total: 62/100 - D

Beco
Relevance: Michael Jackson is the star of the show with Elvis Presley in the end. 20/20
Humor: A little funny. 13/20
Comic Quality: Beautiful, especially with an addition of face emotions! 20/20
Comic Mechanics: So good, except that it's spelled "Me, too." instead of "Me to." 18/20
Celebrity Factor/Spriting Ability: The Michael and Elvis sprites are very impressive. Great job! 20/20
Total: 91/100 - A-

Tabby Catty
Relevance: Steven as a victum of being mistaken for Taylor (and other celebs) and vice versa. How original. 20/20
Humor: I laughed the hardest at the "Sign my buttcheeks" bubble. 7/20
Comic Quality: Pretty decent. But you could've made some sitting sprites. Plus, don't use MS Paint default colors. 13/20
Comic Mechanics: Panels and bubbles are very messy. 8/10
Celebrity Factor/Spriting Ability: The Taylor sprites doesn't look like the real Taylor very much, but at least he has gray hair. 10/20
Total: 58/100 - F
-----------
Since the other two judges couldn't make it for some reason (I PMed them two weeks ago), I'm the only judge of this contest now.

Trophies for all the contestants are now in production.

Congrats to Beco and MageSlayer I'm going to get you two next time and I'll be back with better visual editing and effects! I honestly though it did look like Taylor I was trying to make his outfit he had with the purple velvet jacket on the finale when he was singing one of his three songs he chosen.
