"Hulk Vs." Fan Art Contest Winners Announced!

Congrats James and good show guys and gals :))

congrats. not the ones i would have picked, but if i want to complain i can go become editor of my own website.

so, $100 go to art supplies and the other $100 to comics?

Congrats guys

Really, out of a hat? Oh well. At least you could have done different categories so people could have won for effort as well as skill.

I bet that will really inspire people to spend countless hours drawing to enter your next contest. Why not just draw stick figures.

i agree with pidge, you should have different categories. Its not fair to some of these artists who did only pencils. There were some great pencil entries and its not fair to put that against a painted piece. As for the runners up....they were definitely picked out of a hat!

It wouldn't be fair to any others that entered the contest with just as much work put into their drawing but unfortunitally less experience. This way it was fair to every single one that entered regardless of experience or classes taken. I'm glad i participated even though i didn't win anything and i wouldn't waste a second's time hesitating to re-enter. The point of this contest wasn't just to have the best drawing, it was to gather up as much fan art as possible and show it to the masses. It was a great experience :)

quit crying grimace
fair is fair and the best one was chosen
congrats to everyone winning the DVD
it is a great movie film and I love vs. Thor one so very much

Congrats James. That is a spectacular piece. Congrats to all the other winners as well, excellent work all around. I'm glad to have seen so many pieces of art from so many different sources. It was great. It makes me EXTREMELY hopeful for the next Fan-Art contest. CBM, whenever you're ready for that one, I'm ready to go.

As for the "out of a hat" drawings; they said thats what they were going to do in the last article to make it fair for everyone. So, before you start bitching at them, it was a way to make the playing field completely level. It may not be the best way to do it, but EVERYONE who entered got a shot at winning. Fair is fair, yo.

Well it was to help them determine THE winner of 200$ and not the other winners.

I like the idea of the next topic and I'm definitely joining in this time! But what's a sumo sack and why is it 200 bucks? Just looks like a big pillow to me. Plus, will there be another DVD that will go to the runners-up or what?

OK OK OK everybody stop complaining. as some say, it was about participating and yes, at the beginning they kind of proposed that the " 6 Top artists" would all get a DVD, plus the $200 for the first place,:-
------
"4. On January 31st, our crack team of ComicBookMovie.com editors will judge the best entries and announce the prize winners on our site. The top 6 artists will win a copy of Marvel's latest animated movie, and the picture voted the BEST will also receive $200 smackers!"
-------
.-but then, seeing the the enthusiasm of the fans and in order to motivate EVERYONE to enter, they encouraged us take an opinion on the subject:
-----
" There were so many awesome entries for our HulkVs fan art contest, that we want your input to choose the winners."
--
and also tried to make it more "fair game", where the most important thing is to participate, REMEMBER, the intention was to pick ONE winner:
---
"We have 5 other copies of the DVD to give away but all the entries are so good, we are trying to see if Lionsgate will give us more. Those will be given out via a drawing -- meaning, we'll put all your names in a hat and simply pull out the ones who will get a DVD. That way EVERYBODY has a chance at a prize. Hopefully, Lionsgate will give us a ton more so we can reward more of you for your excellent efforts."
----

So to conclude, the CBM staff was always clear that they ultimately had the final word about it, so besides the initial "top 6", the last article had the intention to let EVERYONE have a chance.

.-CBM:_ maybe you should take down the respective LINKS from the 5 other winners listed, and list just the names,since they didn´t win for the linked-Entry itself, but won via the computer just FOR their names randomly.

Congradulations!

congratulations james ;) Damn now I'm going to have to download the movie, cuz you cant buy it in Iceland :(

P.S. A "$200" SUMO SAC!?! It DID NOT say $200 in prizes. It said "WIN $200!"

Comic Book Movie the truth hurts, but this IS the truth. You screwed some WELL DESERVING artists as well as changed the cash prize-again poor taste & poorly handled.

Congrats on all the winning art!

Hey coats check out my Sandman editorial..Johhny boys in there too!

Nice "professionalism" from one that runs a site. I merely stating that this contest was falsely advertised as was the prize. There were others that deserved to place and were cheated their prizes after displaying their talent.It is not to insult others, but it was a contes-bottom line.

I understand trying to keep it fair, but a contest is based on talent. There are going to be losers with lesser talent, that is life. If it was to be a random drawing with a computer choosing the results, it should have been stated-but it wasn't.

Further more, whether I myself, a relative, friend or what have you entered or not-you do not know. I came here and stated whats obvious in a professional manner. I would've expected those that moderate this site to act professional as opposed to casting insults. The same way you handle a customer in a store with respect & professionalism, it should be carried over by those that run a site. Learn to be a professional before you decide to act like a juvenile shooting insults at your guests before running a site.

Sp1kethesequel,

What would have been the difference if they just chose ONE winner? They still would have chose that entry as the winner. From your perspective, The top artists still would have had tried their best to win. If they were the best in the judges' eyes, the VERY top talent would still have won.
Consider it a bonus that there were 5 other chances to win a dvd.

Very cool of comicbookmovie to do this. Hopefully, nobody negative ruins it for the gracious readers/visitors who appreciate you all running the contest! Hopefully I can get in on the next one. I knew what I had wanted to do on this one, but not enough time to get one done I was happy with. Congrats to everyone! Great job!

I will most definitely enter the Watchmen contest and try to win the Black Freighter DVD!

And I'm sorry if someone you know spent two days of their free time drawing a picture! It's not like it was a contest where you had to build a robot. The best man won.

It was never an argument, whining or insulting on my part. In addition it has nothing to do with the grand prize winner. It was simply stating that the other 5 shouldn't have been chosen via random choice of a computer. It was a contest, be a judge & pick based on talent-not a random choice of a machine. It robs those that really put out some great work.

In addition, any place whether it be physical store or internet site, if is representing themselves as a premier site or location, yes there is a level of professionalism when dealing with your visitors. As opposed to being insulting.
