We should have some kind of award for the best artist, the most frequent artist, and the spammiest artist on the Picto Forum.
Just throwing that out there... |

I don't support this. The program isn't all that great, it's really slow, the colors are really limited, and the canvas is small. Let's wait until Francis makes it better. Besides, it is only a beta version. |

I say we wait for the Beta to finish up irst, then we can start up.
But if I was to nominate one, it would be Geno's Darkrai. That thing was insanely good. |

NOT spammiest. You know what that'd encourage.
And stuff.
But otherwise, yes. |

It's a pretty good idea, imo.
Still, it would be best for the glitches to be worked out first, etc., etc.

Well, I'd agree to let it get out of the beta phase before anything happens.
And thanks, Exuro!  |

No. Never I was once on a forum when awards were introduced. Everything turned into a horrible mess. |

The awards will be like plots in RP/RPOT, they'll only work in favor of the overrated members. |

No.
Just no.
The people in charge giving awards out always make art-areas into...
1) Spam
2) Crappy-art
3) Popularity contests (of the person, not the artwork)
I have seen this many time, most notably in Neopets. The Art Contests were crap. There were gorgous pieces, but the ones that won were usually very poorly drawn. They only won because all their friends (or alternate accounts) voted for them.
No. |

You are assuming that there would be a big vote. If there were only a few judges, then I don't think there would be a problem. |

Judges would have bias, too. They are more likely to pick their favorite member instead of the better artist. |

But, wait...
Would Francis himself be biased?
A sole judge is the best counter to bias possibility. |
