Hello again everyone!

Now that I’m back from Toronto (look for my TCAF wrap-up in the coming days), I can finally address a few things:

Sorry, but there will be no gallery featuring the other entries, period. My reasons are numerous; besides the fact that you just don’t see such a thing with similar instances, as Brett pointed out, I flat out don’t have the time and bandwidth to spare on such an endeavor. Though on that note…

I know I’ll come off fairly jerky by stating the following, but the truth of the matter is, some of the pieces were just not cup of tea. To the point that I honestly believe I’m doing some people a favor by not exposing their handiwork in this instance. Also… and again, while I do appreciate all the time and energy from most… a few were clearly put together in the sloppiest of fashion, just so they could have a chance some free shit (or so I gather).

There is even one that outright plagiarizes a fairly popular illustration that originated from Pixiv and has made the rounds via channels such as Danny Choo/figure.fm or similar). And that’s kinda sucks.

For those who are upset, sorry, but that’s my basic position on the issue and I am not changing my mind. Actually, there will be one additional piece that I will feature in my next TCAF post, because I met the artist at the show. Otherwise, anyone who feels pretty vocal about the issues (including at least one ridiculously nasty email I’ve received), even still, can basically spare themselves the effort.

But here’s some good news I guess: not sure if it was mentioned already, but I’m passing along all the entries to Grasshopper HQ, and I will leave it up to them as to whether they wish to reveal the rest of the goods to the public.

Count another one for that gallery!! I know a couple people who entered and weren’t featured, and let me just say, if the others that weren’t featured are just as good, I am really itching to get to see ‘em.

Looking at those entries confirms that I didn’t have a remote chance of winning, and not just because I sent in one of the three Speed Busters (really, there were two others? yikes).
