Also, I was thinking of starting up the forum's first meta-contest, where everyone can decide which set of image critiques posted on this thread were "the best". That's probably asking for more drama than it's worth, though, and we all know Pearls would win anyway.

So, Pearls, you also win a token 25 rank points and also a prize from the Prize Pile for having the universally acclaimed greatest critique of roachie art ever.

Oh, here are my votes, I don't really have comments.

Basically, I ranked each entry based on cuteness 1 to 5 and execution 1 to 5, and then added those scores up.


All the entries which have 10 are mine.

WOW! That was very close!

Thanks a lot everyone who voted and congratulations to the other winners!

You can't imagine how happy I am to have won this! When I was little, drawing (and "art" things in general) were never my thing (I was a complete disaster in that sense). I don't know if I should go to the classroom I was in when I was 8 and pin the drawing on one of the walls.

When/If I have time, I'll post some comments on the critiques my drawings have received.

I told Gaius what you all thought of him as a roach. I don't think he's taking it well.

Tell him to come back for the cute cat contest, where I guarantee him a third-place victory behind Rebo and Zooty.

I know this is a little late, but I was reading the captions, and one of them seems misplaced. The one for number 20, should actually go on number 13.

As long as I'm here, some of these pictures are only cute in the way that a baby lizard is cute, and people tend not to love baby lizards that much.

Oh, sorry my mistake, you had it right. I guess I was thrown off by the word "pony".

Man, that thing's hair is so puffy, it's creepy.
