Let's give it up for these two talented artists.

Mmmmmpig · 11-01-2007, 02:38 PM

Man, I wish I were as talented as the 2 of you (especially if it were the 2 of you combined! Then I would rule the world... ahem).

Congrats guys! I am sure you have made positive impressions with people who have hiring capabilities

davidbovey · 11-01-2007, 02:42 PM

Congrats on making it this far to the both of you!

escapegoat · 11-01-2007, 02:43 PM

Three cheers for Nick and Jose!!!!

Jose, I didn't really catch your stuff in the submission round, but you were truely worthy to be in this competition. You have a very dynamic style that stands out on its own. You won me over in the first round. I know we'll be seeing more of you down the road.

Nick....soooo close. Keep up the good work. Your style sensibilities match my own. I know you'll make it in sooner or later.

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for both of you guys. Good game.

Jose and Nick..sorry to see you guys go.:(
but i'm glad you both entered, it made for one hell of a contest!
my best to both of you on a job well done!

nick...now you can get back to work;)

Spidey · 11-01-2007, 02:45 PM

Rats! It was down to the point where you don't want to see anybody go. I wish you guys the best of luck. You both have a butt load of talent that I hope to see displayed in a published comic sometime in the future. You both have very unique styles compared to what's out there today and am certain will have little trouble finding professional work.

Nick: You have great grasp of storytelling and details, but you need to solidify your basics; anatomy and some perspective work will help your work.

Jose: You have great strorytelling capabilities, but you tend to want to run off on your own when it's inappropriate. I'd suggest communicate with the writer or research your resources properly before and diving in to the project.

Again, best of luck to you guys.

bolapucc · 11-01-2007, 02:51 PM

Nick, the ducks ruled... and you too!

Congrats!

skatay · 11-01-2007, 02:52 PM

goodbye to two artists who I voted for in different rounds.

Your drawings make me want to draw better.

Maresk · 11-01-2007, 02:59 PM

Good luck to both!

Jose, it's a shame to see you go, but I'm sure we'll your work in the shelves soon!

Nick, great game! Your art isn't really my cup of tea, but I wish you the best on your career.

kymaera · 11-01-2007, 03:06 PM

It's a shame to see you two go as you were my top two picks in this last round.
I'm sure we'll be seeing more of you in the future.

R Santos Jr · 11-01-2007, 03:15 PM

And with this, I no longer have any further interest in voting for the rest of the competition.
I look forward to seeing you guys go pro.

CPWilsonIII · 11-01-2007, 03:15 PM

You guys were awesome! ARE awesome! It's not gonna be the same without you, especially considering I was really looking forward to what you guys did every round.

polystyleneman · 11-01-2007, 03:23 PM

Well it looks like my colorings didn't have any unintended effect after all. Or maybe they did? I hope they didn't negatively affect anything for sure. Really sorry to see you go. I'm sure we'll see you working real soon and maybe we'll get to go up against you in the Play At Home thread!

Muddy Waters · 11-01-2007, 03:37 PM

Good luck, guys. Hope to see you both in a book credits soon.

jpolacek · 11-01-2007, 03:42 PM

Holder had my vote this round. He's got tons of raw talent. So much so that I think he'd be better off if he reigned it in a little bit. Playing it safe isn't his style though and his pages were consistently the most dynamic of the contest. I think if he can focus on doing layouts that tell the story in a clear, straightforward manner while at the same time maintaining his unique panel compositions, the sky will be the limit for him.

Nick, as has been discussed, is a forum member at our site, tentonstudios.com, and if you think he's a funny guy here, you should see how hilarious he can be when given free reign to let his freak flag fly. We're all fans of his over there and when we found out he got into CBI3, we knew he would make a lot of waves. I was surprised to see him get 5th as he clearly has a big following and his bold insertion of the duck into the storyline this round brought a smile to us all.

Both of these guys are great artists already, and it's clear that they have tons of potential to be even great. Good luck to you guys!
