Hermit Crab in Gingerbread House
Jan. 13th, 2016 10:55 pmI finally finished this! This brings me up to four paintings of fanciful hermit crabs using weird things for shells.

art - Demons!
Oct. 16th, 2015 09:21 pmI made something for the Rage of Demons contest on welovefine. Then I set it as my desktop background and forgot I'd done so. Next time I booted up my computer...a little startling, I must say.

Anyway, rate my design! 5's are awesome.

Art - Shadowfist - DK Cycle
Mar. 27th, 2014 02:46 amArt for Shadowfist. These are from a couple of months ago, but the terms of my contract said I couldn't put them up on deviantART and the like right away. Just looked again at the contract and it was safe to put them up on March 1. Oops. For some reason I was thinking it was April.

Oct. 23rd, 2013 03:21 pmVoting is over for my second threadless design...it went very poorly. Worse than my little t-rex with a balloon.
Average Score: 2.3

More total scores, but far worse ratings. Maybe Cthulhu just didn't have enough mass appeal. I'll have to try something with a wider potential audience next time.

I don't know what to think.
Jun. 20th, 2013 06:25 pmWell, scoring for my first Threadless design is closed.
Average Score: 2.72
Total Scores: 172
Fives: 20
Ones: 44
Total comments: 1
According to the FAQ:
--
What’s a good score?
Anything close to or above a 3 is considered a very high score. Remember, designs are only scored up to 5. A low score is no reason to get discouraged; many printed Threadless designers started out with low scores, too. Use the feedback to reinvent your design and take it in a different direction!
How are the submissions chosen?
The scoring system gives us an idea of which designs our community thinks are great. Then we look at the top scoring designs every couple of weeks and pick out designs to print based off the overall score, comments, and of course, its general awesomeness. We make the final decision of which designs are printed.
--
2.72 seems bad, but it's reasonably close to 3, so maybe not as bad as it seems? More than twice as many 1's as 5's seems really bad, though. I'm supposed to use feedback to improve the design, but I only have the one comment. I stumbled across someone else's submission that has not been printed in spite of its 156 5's, 3.34 rating, and 20+ comments.
So, yeah, I really have no idea how that went. Clearly it didn't go well, but I'm not sure how badly.
