[QUOTE=Kirby101;5461076]I have no problem with Rob posting that cover. I just question people voting for the worst cover in the contest just because it is different. I also am not saying that people can't vote for it because they dislike the artists style, but that appears to be the reason for some.[/QUOTE]But some people may not think it was the "[B][FONT=Comic Sans MS]worst[/FONT][/B]".

True, but it is inferior in many ways to the rest. Subjective does not mean there are no criteria or aesthetics. There is consensus in art as well. Especially comic book art. So if people feel that really is the best cover, I can only assume they dislike Allred's style. and voted for the one cover that does not have it.

Which would make it the least accomplished cover.

Perhaps the voters didn't think it was the "best" cover but that it was the "most interesting" cover (because it was atypical of his style), and they cast their votes in appreciation of learning something new. That's allowed. And yes, it you don't like an artist's particular style, then in your estimation the "best" cover would be one that is in some other style. That too is allowed.
-
It's all allowed. Nobody should have been prevented from voting for the worst cover. I am just expressing my opinions about those votes, which is also allowed.

Sorry for the confusion all! I didn't realise you guys had changed over to daylight saving, we (NZ) change over this weekend.
Congrats [B]Rob[/B], sorry [B]Englehart[/B]

I see what you did there :)

[QUOTE=Shalla Bal;5460664]I dislike the "post your favorite cover by Artist X". They're too restrictive. I get it if an artist has just passed away, it's meant to be a commemoration, but boy, is it boring (IMO). Like a listicle.
Of course, I am speaking only for myself obviously. Accordingly, I sit these ones out, they just don't get me going.
I hope we see a return to topics that require/ inspire some creative thinking on my part![/QUOTE]
I understand your point, but some of the artist-themed contests have helped me gain knowledge and appreciation for some artists I never would've acquired on my own.
