5th place in the color vote
Thought for sure it'd be higher than that, but it
was another really tough month. Still, that's the best suggestion I've ever had... I guess I'd need to get better to play in the big league
If it was hard to choose which sketches to have coloured, then Tom's been putting the effort in all along! I'd say that's a good thing
Oh, Tom's basically always putting in the effort. But the last two months have been crazy good, at least as far as I'm concerned. I could have conceivably voted for almost 2/3rds of the pictures.
But still, even with a crazy month, it's a huge misestimation on my part. When I saw the sketch, I said privately to people that that would be in the top three in
any month, or I didn't know anything about anything. So the takeaway is... I don't know anything about anything
On the upside of that, I didn't really expect Keith and Alaric streaking to make it, and it did, and that's really, really good. Indeed, everything I voted for made it, and it's probably my favorite lineup of winners yet.
But it's time for me to give up on the notion that I can predict any of this, or that I can call my shots. When perception and reality disagree, it isn't reality that's wrong.
By the way, a tip to anyone here making suggestions: I think Tom does his best work when you don't constrain him too much. Explain the core idea, but leave the specifics to him, because
good god can he execute
It's an excellent followup, because I think it even retroactively enhances the original. I wish I'd been able to do that when I tried.
