Well this voting is just RIDICULOUS!
It's a shame that Autemo has been loosing it's credibility over the years, which is why many artists leave this forum.
New choppers that know shit about this art are what this community is now, and they idolize low quality chops.
How can they not see the amount of work put into some chops and somehow find qualities in others, where simply is none.
Somehow the deserved value is being given to Lopi's work, that means people aren't completely blind, but Hugo's chop doesn't even show up in some votings.
My hopes for Autemo were getting up with this comp, but this voting just smashed them back to the ground. This will be my last participation in an Autemo competition if things continue as they are.
Pretty sad if I may say.
Btw, you're free to take down my participation.
That seems a very elitist atitude to take! The fact that what we do is 'art' means that peoples personal tastes will vary and voting will sway one way or another. Obviously quality should be a consideration when people are voting but to suggest, as you seem to, that quality should be the only consideration is wrong. Design should also, in my opinion, be of equal consideration when ranking chops. In my mind a good quality but simple design chop is equal to a poorer quality but extreme design chop. To some degree I would actually prefer for someone to make a more unusual or crazier chop at the sacrifice of some quality rather than make high quality but repeatatively similar chops.
