Spectrum

[eaglemaina]

AWw well, I wasn't expecting to actually get in Spectrum, so I'm taking it well I think. Surprisingly, I wasn't disppointed, though it makes me wonder what it takes to get it. I'll work harder this year and keep drawing everyday until a figure it how to do better next time

Sorry you didn't get into spectrum... I think it's MEGA hard to get in. I didn't even bother...I'm not there yet.:P

[eaglemaina]

Oh, well I know it's really hard. I think the only reason why I did submit was because I felt like I had to start trying at some point.

But I'm aware my work is really far from the Spectrum level. It will probably take me 10 or more years before maybe being close... if that ever happens. *laughs*

It looks like a lot of our friends were rejected... I hate rejection, I'm doubly glad I didn't submit...LOL

[eaglemaina]

Aww well yeah I think most of us got rejected.

Rejection is hard at first, but we get used to it. It probably doesn't affect me as much anymore. At work, I have to do sooooo many designs and drawings just to get them questioned, reworked and redone, that at one point you just try to make the best of it instead of taking it personnally.

And I have to remember that I am still very much a beginner in the art scene and fantasy art. I barely have a few years of experience. That's why I think it will take me 10 + years. I will not consider myself a profesionnal until I get to the 10 year mark anyway. =)

I submitted:

Night Wish: http://moonlight-whispers.com/Gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=189
Little Red Riding Hood: http://moonlight-whispers.com/Gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=187

I could only afford to send 2. =/

As for what the judges thought, no one knows. They don't give feedback.

Spectrum c'est une compilation annuelle d'art fantasy. Seulement les meilleurs sont selectionner.

LOLs ca l'air que je suis encore dans la catégorie "poche". ahahhahah Mais ca m'inquiete pas vraiment. C'est la premiere fois que j'essais. Je vais essayer encore pour les années à venir. je pense que ca vaut le coup!

[snowbyrnison]

fait la toé! t'es pas poche pentoute. tu fait juste pas parti de l'éliiiiiiiiite, un jour...
c'est quoi que t'as proposé comme oeuvre? il t'ont juste dit NON ON TE PREND PAS!! ou est-ce que t'as eu des commentaires constructif quelconque?

[eaglemaina]

AHAHAHAHH je taquine. Je pense juste pas avoir atteint le niveau "professssional!" encore c'est tout. =)

J'ai soumis Night Wish et Little Red Riding Hood. Et je n'aurais jamais les commentaires.... les critiques restent des mysteres avec cette publications! Malheureusement!

[eaglemaina]

I agree on that part. Getting something published that's really nice would be great. Did you submit the cover and back cover you did for the First Sign? That would have been awesome to submit no?

For my part, all of the published stuff I have is reallllllly not Spectrum material. *laughs* If I want to have something published, I will need to get myself a better book contract. *sighs* For that to happen, I would have to work home full time, not full time in a studio working for someone else. I'm still wondering if what I am doing right now is the right thing. The job is not exactly what I thought it would be...

I'm still stunned that you didn't get in. I was convinced you would!

[eaglemaina]

I hear ya on that, I couldn't submit more than two myself. I tried Night Wish and Little Red Riding Hood. Two different styles.

Which one did you submit?

[eaglemaina]

Unfortunetly yes, since a friend broke it. =/ I never asked for the money. Cost me 100$ to get a new copy. =(
