It's Garry's Mod. Garry's Mod is a game.

A game. You're even worse than Whitefolks in terms of "oh you people need to better yourself n the pursuit of artistic accomplishment."

IT'S A GAME.

So what ?
Poker & Chess are games too and yet they get handled like one hell of serious buisness.
Besides, i don't really look at G-Mod as a Game anymore, more like an oppertunity to give your fantasies and ideas a shape. Also, what kind of game can help you gaining artistic skills ? (I'm talking about artistic perception)
Of course you will only gain skills if you push your limits further and evolve. Just how real art does.

Edited:
At least Whitefolk's made good pictures though.

Okay, now that hurt alot. :smith:
Nah, just kidding.

I know, i still need some more tricks and practises with Paint.Net.

**Novangel** · 30th September 2009

I guess I might take this as a challenge, though I don't like the fact you're limiting people with HL2 only.

Moonsorrow · 30th September 2009

Well do you prefer being a dick and adding cheap rewards to have more pseudo contestants that don't actually care about the contest itself , or being a normal person , making a normal contest,having a tad less contestants , and releasing your skins like anyone would do?

Seriously black jack, no ones really going to enter with some cheap contest rules and a stupid prize, no offence.

Do I win yet?

REH_BlackJack · 30th September 2009

I can not release those skins open to the public because i have no permission from the original authors of those skins. (If i could, i would.) It's a total different story, if i give 'em out in privat.
Another reason for offering a reward is that by putting up ambitious rules, participants would actually have to use their brain.

Believe me, if the rules would be much easier to accomplish and I would also have a small gallery for the winners, it would look totally different by now.

**Leon** · 30th September 2009

I think lowly of you if you're keeping an entire weapon pack from the entire community just for a shitty contest.
10bux saids the person who wins will most likely just upload the pack for everyone else.

REH_BlackJack · 30th September 2009

Umm ... half of the weapons that are in my G-Mod package are allready out in some other packages. Like the M-249s, the M-16s, the M-60s, G-36s, Kalashnikovs, Berettas and Glock. At least I've seen several pictures, that contained these weapons allready. I think there are not much new ones in my pack but correct me if I'm wrong.

There's a difference between taking your work seriously and being a stuck-up, pretentious, condescending artfreak about it. And posts like this cross the line:

I see by now that Facepunch is not ready for a different kind of contest.
Lets see how much will be posted by the end of the week. If it's going to be very low, I'll call off this contest and mark the Operation:"Professional Creativity" as a failure. I'll try it some time later again. Maybe in a year or two, when the majority of the comunity drop the balls and be ready for a challenge of their skills.

Really, What did you expect? "Professional Creativity" is not done by placing silly limits on the usage of models, Especially when most of the respectable authors have moved on from using said models because of their poor quality and poseability. And keeping the theme to "Combines and Rebels" for the sake of keeping the pictures true to HL2 and away from fan-fiction is silly as most poses of this very theme wind up being exactly that regardless of the limits: Stupid, Poorly done fan fiction. And making rewards for people of this level only encourages fighting and disagreements.

I'm deeply sorry that Facepunch can't match your standards. Perhaps you should consider that we're not a pro artist board and instead, People having fun.

An XM8 and a glock.

Those are rare models.

REH_BlackJack · 30th September 2009

Sorry i don't feel like arguing right now: I'm stressed out by a job interview on friday, my head hurts like hell and i haven't eaten in the last 36 hours. Besides, i only take note of those who have proven themselves to be honorable members of facepunch.

For some reason i smell irony in this.
Let's explain, again: The H&K XM-8 and the Glock are for CSS. The XM-8 replaces the SG-552 and the Glock the FN FiveseveN. Although an XM-8 exists for the SG-552, it doesn't exist with Mr. Brightsides Animations.
(Best Animations have ever seen so far.)
Also i have never found a Glock model, that replaces the FiveseveN.

Blackjack.
Your contest is a failure, and so are your awards.
WHY make a gun pack WHEN ALL THE GUNS ARE IN DIFFERENT PACKS AND OFFER IT WAS A FUCKING REWARD. WAT.

**Weißes rose** · 1st October 2009

ahaha this contest sucks. Who cares about your 'special' XM8/Glock models? Really? And the same goes for your weapon pack. It looks like the same old shit i've seen before.

For the first time you are right.

Honestly, contests with crappy rules, crappy rewards yeah yeah yeah would apply to FPSB not here

REH_BlackJack · 1st October 2009

Fine.
Since bitching is all your capable of, i'm now calling the contest off.
Have to concentrate on my job interview and possible relocation anyway.

**Hunterdnrc** · 1st October 2009

466 weapons in total. Has about every decent weapon I could find. So your 'prize' is nothing special.

If you hated people to bitch at you, why start such a stupid thread in the first place? Let this be a lesson for you, and I hope history does not repeat itself.
