Alright everyone!!!
I NEED some artwork to display with my dope that has my name on it so everyone knows its coming from me!
Unfortunately, I don't have an 1/4g of artistic talent - so this is where you come in! I'm going to have a contest where you submit your artwork and we're gonna have a vote and whoever wins gets a free 1/2g of Nod's BTH!
What I need is the cool artwork that other vendors have that has their name on it and place where I put a sample of my dope on it and take a picture of it - you know what I'm talking about!
The deadline for artwork HAS PASSED!!!
ATTN N00bS!!! ATTN N00bS!!! YOU MUST HAVE 50 POSTS TO BE ABLE TO VOTE!!!! GO SPAM A NEWBIE THREAD AND COME BACK!! (We all had to do it, just suck up like a minute per post - it won't take longer than 45 minutes!
VOTING CRITERIA: My plans are to put a sample picture of the heroin on picture (photoshopping it in) - so it has to have room/area for that and IT WiLL HAVE TO LOOK GOOD ON SILK ROAD!! (So, having a dark background and trying to put a picture of dark heroin might not look as good - just a hint!!)
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO COMES TO VOTE AND HELP OUR WINNER GET HIGH!!!! =)
I'VE NARROWED IT DOWN TO OUR 3 FINALISTS - THEY ARE BELOW - WE WILL HAVE OUR FINAL VOTING OVER THE NEXT 8 DAYS, ENDING NEXT SUNDAY!

I voted for DarlaHarrington's because it's the best branding-wise, IMO. Your name clearly pops out and the color draws the eye to the image. The other ones are cool but on one the text is thin and the image is dark, while the other feels more 'vanilla'.
I'd remember the first one.

Too bad you never saw my art Nod... true shame, these 3 wouldnt stand an iota of a chance..

I'm still taking submissions privately - whomever I end up using is gonna get a 1/4g - that's how I found the guy who did my avatar...
it's pretty badass, huh??

I think this "contest" is saturated.

I voted for Repus. That one is by far my favorite because it is bright and colorful. The first entry is alright but it is rather dark and I don't think it would stand out very well. I find the 3rd entry with the naked woman on it offensive. I myself am female and if I saw a vendor on SR with their gear on that artwork, it would be an instant turn off. I would not buy anything from that vendor due to the nature of the artwork. Just my opinion. I think that the entry Repus turned in is the best of the three. 99% of the vendors on SR just have their gear laying on a piece of paper with their vendor name written next to it. I think vendors need to use more color in their art. Also, the entry I voted for is rather funny because of Heroin's slang name (Sunshine).

Spammed her(?) way to 50 posts specifically to vote here on 51st post. Coincidence?

Thanks for the vote! I'm glad you like my work!

This is quite a bold statement for someone who has NEVER spoken to me and has no idea about who I am or what I am about. From the two comments you posted on this thread, it seems like you are looking for an argument. I have way more important things to do with my time than spam my way to 50 for a contest. If I want some heroin, I'll go buy it. I entered the contest because I thought it would be fun. I didn't realize upon entering that I would have to win two contests AND have fingers pointed at me from people like you. Its pretty fucked up if you ask me.
Honestly, if I were N4L, I would pick the art I wanted to use, give each of the three finalists a little bit of heroin and give the chosen person 1/4 or 1/2g. That would eliminate the stress of a contest, it would eliminate irrational accusations and it would prevent anyone from cheating is they wanted to. I just think it would make more sense. People aren't going to want to come and vote again for something they already voted on. To be perfectly honest, it is kind of a waste of time and I doubt anyone cares especially if they aren't getting anything out of it. That's just the way people are.

Repus, I don't think you should worry about what one poster says. And if you look at the amount of love they get here then I'd think you see how many people agree with whatever is being stated. :)
-
Thanks, Darla :) I just get very frustrated with people who want to talk shit when they know nothing about me. Its childish and it irritates me when adults act like children.

Not that it matters too much, but colors in #3 are completely squashed with the new "all 3 in 1" image, resulting in quality less than the actual :(

Sorry Woger! (Obviously, I know not what I do...)

I voted for.. Repus. It's bright and sunny! Really catches your eye. It's also very happy looking.
I do not like the nude female picture and believe that only caters to the male "demographic," Although I do like the colour scheme.. Not that into objectification or naked women.
I Didn't vote for DarlaHarrington because I found that particular design to be too hectic and messy for me, I think the design kind of overshadows the object (BTH). (I really liked DH's #1 on the other page though.. I think it was #1 anyway, brownish colour scheme, I thought that one was awesome.. Really drew attention to the product without over-powering it.. And also captured some SR spirit, But it didn't make it to the finals)
Too much explanation? Maybe, but that is what I do.
Why can't we see the vote count?
-
Thanks H! +1! ;D
-
Why can't we see the vote count?
Because I didn't want anyone to know the vote count (including myself) so that way people vote without letting the vote count skew their opinion and if anyone is trying to recruit votes - they just don't know how many to recruit to win (not saying anyone is doing that), plus I just think it's more fun this way. The results are available the moment the vote is closed - and like I said, even I can't see them so its exciting.

I respect you have your own opinion, and encourage it even, but please understand, not everyone sees naked women the way you do -- not all nudity is objectification.
And women love women too, also many find much beauty in the bare human form, outside of any sexual context (though some are uncomfortable with it), so the whole "only caters to the male demo" thing is way off base -- maybe true for some young guys who don't know any better, but beauty is beauty my friend.
Just saying that not all body shots of women are objectification, sometimes nudity is for the sake of art...
in this case, we have a representation of "the woman who has everything", now stripped, drawn bare...
What remains is her most prized possession...
Nod's gear! :)

I don't view the image in itself as objectification, but because it is being used as "advertisement" for a drug is what makes me think it so. The picture is lovely and very tasteful. I mean, unless you took the photo? and she is aware that she's possibly the poster girl for black tar heroin.... That is why I don't like it.

Fair point, but add that if you look for things to dislike, you'll find them everywhere and generally be unhappy with all but the most distilled, homogenized effort.
To each his own :)

Congratulations Repus!! :D
Had fun with this contest guys; thanks for getting me this far! :)
-
Wow! Repus with the overwhelming victory! That means he either has a lot of friends or his work is truly exceptional (or both)!
Repus - I'd like to work with you to try to see if it would be possible to get it 'finalized' for use on SR.
PM me and we can start talking.
