Comicon Challenge Extension




Well since most of our artists were hit with bad work schedules or family events that kept them from finishing, The Comicon Challenge will extend to one extra week so that they might have a chance to finish. At the end of the day it's about the quality of the art that finishes and the amount of people who make it to that finish line. Sometimes finishing one competition might aid you in courage to finish another.


Thanks for the support guys and gals and enjoy your extra week!

Comicon Challenge Staff-


Official Time : 11:59 p.m Eastern Time, Monday, August 31st, 2009

w00t 'n t00t! This is excellent news! I probably was able to finish just in time (you know, by not sleeping 'n stuff and living on coffee), but an extra week to fine tune is soooooo generous from you guys, Cheers!

Wtf!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one that's sick and tried of all the "late comers" getting an extra week to finish their work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Final Deadline extensions are one thing, but not having ENTRY DEADLINES really messes the whole competition for all the people that worked really hard to finish! There are people still entering TODAY, with what should have been five days to go!!!!!! I mean the over all goal is to win; not having the time to finish means you lose. It's like giving an athlete a head start in the Olympics cause he's slower than the other guys!

I'm calling shenanigans on this one, and I'm not happy about it

@Gochillis

Isn't that a little selfish? I understand deadlines are usually concrete, and at the very least motivate you to bust your ass to at-least get it done, but things come up and life happens. I had just started my character, and my Grandmother died, which set me back a whole week since I had to travel 800 miles to go to her funeral. He stated it pretty clearly at the top that a lot of artists had things happen with them and their families, I don't think it's too harsh to the other artists who are already done or close to it to extend it, at least you get time to polish it up all nice and make it a top entry right?

These things were started to expand the art community, and help each other improve and congratulate progression. Stop crying.
