    Hey Dan, it's totally cool. Just giving you a hard time : )

  • SaraCara - 14 years ago

    @Randy Peterson : I was mistaken, because when I vote for submission stuff it's usually for bands. My apologies, but I still think that everyone should act their age. IE: Quit dissing shit and have fun with it. Sadly, a lot of shit out there is a popularity contest. When it comes to art, Good is all a matter of opinion. If it comes down to Dan it comes down to Dan, unless the mods decide to choose from the top two or whatever. It's cool that they want Fans' opinions, and that they're being gracious enough to ask for fan stuff to use.

    thanx alex! i didnt mean to diss you before i just confused you with aaron. i like your work but i think aaron is the next closest to my style of drawing is all. i always said i appreciated the time it took people to do these things and to put themselves out there to be judged. i know the work involved and i'm proud of my work too. i believe this contest must have ended now.they're prob. just leaving it up while they work out what theyre gonna do about this whole thing. thanx everyone again for looking at ALL the pieces.

  • Alex Faber - 14 years ago

    SaraCara is right: all the artists here should feel good we made it here in the first place, and I really don't get some of the temperamental comments. The system for whose drawing is ultimately selected is imperfect, but at least the good Kaufman sisters made it a lot more democratic and inclusive than it could've been. As far as the contest not ending yet, I'm sure these girls are hella busy (they mentioned it was finals week in one of the other posts). Cut them some slack and recognize how great it was that they opened this up to us in the first place. I'm not gonna win this thing by any means, but I can only be grateful and proud that I was a part of it (dammit, I knew I should've resubmitted with a colored version!). 'Sides, I know my drawing is not the best one here.

    Personally, I think Dan's drawing rules (despite him withdrawing his shout-out to me!). I looked at it close up and was amazed at all the detail and the style of it. Awesome job, Dan. Stay cool, y'all.

    quoted from Sara cara 'and yeah it's a contest to win but all artists better be grateful their bitch asses were RECOGNIZED by the band!'

    see this person thinks it's for a band...

    if some of the top ones win i think alot of actual TROMA fans will be upset- Maybe not the kids that go to your high-school or your teachers or parents or neighbors im sure they will be proud of you but what about people that actually like troma ? the art should speak for itself and be based upon that.... I think evry one tried hard photoshop or not i do not see people submitting work that they are not proud of. And if you do care about the quality of work troma would publish people should of sent out links to the actual art displayed and not just to a page with your name on it. And if people actually believe there art is good that wouldn't of been a problem i would feel ashamed if i won an art contest without people looking at and enjoying everyones art regardless of how bad you want it or how hard you tried i think we would of seen a vary different outcome and i think deep down most of the top rated artists here know that-

  • BigJ - 14 years ago

    Dude wtf is going on. I thought polls were closed at midnight yesterday, I come back and see that everyone is still voting. That's not right. A deadline is a deadline and the votes should only be counted up to midnight.

  • sMuluc - 14 years ago

    This is the most retarded contest ever! Don't think the moderators got out of bed yet. Announce the fucking winners already!

  • Captn'Gerard - 14 years ago

    they should close the polls now before everyone else starts voting based off of how much friends they have and how much computers are near them. why does mitch dolan even have 2 equally shitty pics up there? he is probably lloyds ball servant. i voted for dan because his art is godlike and i could see him drawing the next great disney hand drawn movie. heis like king midas and everythang he touches turns intoo golden stuff...

  • SaraCara - 14 years ago

    Okay, so everyone has their own opinions. That's something respectable, but anyone who's voting should act like an adult. This is severely important, because arguing over the internet is like being in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded. Sorry, but it's true. (I'm an equal hater, fuck everybody including myself.) I voted for Mr. Scheckler's piece because the theme is fun, and in contrast to his other artwork, this one's full color and really gives detail. Yeah you can see some marker strokes, but avoiding the highlighter effect unless you're in a digital program is FRICKING HARD! Good luck to everybody, and yeah it's a contest to win but all artists better be grateful their bitch asses were RECOGNIZED by the band!

  • SAM - 14 years ago

    so are most people only voting for the top 3 now? if so troma vs evil should win. its not even that great but i can tell it took time to make and the troma is born only has a good looking satan but the rest is very mediocre. i like the t-v-e one because the colors are more entertaining and i like the toxie in it. i know the shooting the kids is probably a joke so i clap for you but i really hope you do not win. my favorite out of the whole lot is switched at birth though.

  • Cornolio - 14 years ago

    Dans picture is obviously far superior to this other 5th grade stuff. Some of it was pretty good, but Dan is most def the man.

  • spermdonar - 14 years ago

    omfglolrotffl you guz r fukin stoopid!@$ troma iz born iz tha kewlist invoted 40 timez 4 it.

  • bitchass - 14 years ago

    just showing my support for a great artist. who are you to claim we are making up storys about how hard he works? he is a very talented artist, if you could see his other work you would know the deal.

  • Kate - 14 years ago

    well i was looking at the votes and i refreshed and the top three all got more votes within a minute. either these people really have that much fans, or this contest is fucked. shooting the kids is a fucking joke... troma born is good but isnt as good as all of his friends think... troma vs evil has a decent lloyd as counter girl in poultrgeist but the demons are very plain...

    i say if i had to pick between the three id pick troma is born, but his friends are fucking annoying so i would tally my vote for troma vs evil. the only friend he has saying things is ryan who seems to actually like his buddies work without making up a false story of how amazing and hard he works.

  • special k - 14 years ago

    we are real people and we do have real feelings you know

  • frankie f - 14 years ago

    troma is born is not even that nice, neither are the other two in the lead. those comments all seem like they are from fake people or maybe made by the artist himself. it looks like troma vs evil was hand drawn and then edited in photoshop which still takes a long time with layering and whatnot so i dont see how someone would complain and say how easy it is to do. they all have a different style and look. the stick figure one is cute. it reminds me of a retarded abused orphan who likes to draw little stick men forming oral sex on eachother to remind him of the evil things that his counselors do to him during snack time. troma vs evil is cool in a cartoon version of troma and i like the "toxies got no moxie" sign. i do like that born has class of nukem high in it. my favorite one is the one with lloyd as a baby with the penis monster. if i had to pick of the ones that are in the top spot though, i would say troma vs evil. it is not however the best out of the contest.

  • dan - 14 years ago

    oops i meant give it to arron willhite ifim not successful. ntiddy runs the city! stumpy jack, bitchass, special k, and all the homies who support the good doc. much love

  • ntiddy - 14 years ago

    I know Dan very well, and he put so much time and effort into this piece that I will be disappointed if he doesn't win. I am an Art Director and work all day on a computer. I could have designed most of these pieces of art in various Adobe programs with very little effort. Not to say they aren't cool, but Dan's is all hand drawn. No fancy filters or gradients. This work came straight from his fingertips and deserves to win this competition. Dan you are the man. Keep on rockin! Vote for Dan Halen! Keep on drawing! Vote for Von Scheckler!

  • markus - 14 years ago

    Dude i don't think any one looked at the art when they voted, and your lucky!

  • dan - 14 years ago

    hey guys! i drew Troma is born, which i actually named the righteous and the wicked. i am so amazed at how many people came out of the woodwork and pulled favors. i worked 10-9 today and haven't been able to track the progress. thank you all so much my friends, acquaintances, friends of friends and strangers who voted. i would have never guessed i'd be so blessed by your kindness. art is my passion and i labored like a mother fucker over this piece and did my best to pr my work to be seen weeks ago leading up to now even. for those who don't like it, that's ok. for those who diss me, you just hide behind crappy third rate work and decent photoshop skills. no one put the detail and thought into building the composition that i did. do i deserve to win? that's not up to me. do i think i worked the hardest? i think my piece speaks for itself. if i don't win, i hope alex faber does.much love to troma for putting this on and ANYONE who looked at the art/artists. - the doctor, Dr.S

  • Ryan - 14 years ago

    or maybe i just like troma vs. evil better than whatever sir dan "poured" his heart into. nerd.

  • special k - 14 years ago

    we can agree to disagree
    p.s. troma is born will always be the best

  • bitchass - 14 years ago

    Ryan has absolutely the worst taste in art ever. you should like the talent and effort put in by Sir Dan Scheckler. He pour his heart and soul into this amazing picture. and not to mention his other work is incredible! If dan wins ill streak down the streets of bridgeport! so vote for dan! and the aliens are coming.... be prepared for the Orgy/Feast

  • Ryan - 14 years ago

    Troma vs. Evil still the best.

  • BigJ - 14 years ago

    Oops didn't even see Chris Graves. If I'm missing anyone else on those who voted for dan I apologize. It seems like such a long list to name everyone. Wait a minute, almost all these are in favor of the Hollywood art piece. Oh snap, that's because everyone digs that piece and the should. I don't even see any other artwork that is so extremely detailed do you? What happened to folks digging detail and precision in artwork all this computer generated artwork seems so detached and lifeless Hollywood is a breath of fresh air.

    P.s. special K thanks for the props on my rhyming. I'm a underground rapper my street name is stumpy jack I will make it to the top. Im all about being from the streets and throwin down beats.

  • special k - 14 years ago

    BIG J! you cant leave chris graves out on this. he was also on track. also i like your rhyming scheme

  • BigJ - 14 years ago

    Bitchass, Cousin L, and Special K are on the riight frame of mind. Is everyone else in a coma. get your mind on troma DAN SCHECKLER'S Artwork is the shizznit. seriously the only piece of work tha tlooks like it had hours of hard work put in that. It should be a no brainer folks. get outta the coma and vote on dan schecklers troma

  • special k - 14 years ago

    bitchass i am going to half to fully agree with you here! being his sister i am so proud of him and the fact I got to see this first as a work in progress and the final result is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy beyond my expectations!!! YOU GO BOY!

  • bitchass - 14 years ago

    Dan Shecklers is by far the best one up here. Not to mention ive had the pleasure to see his other work and they are fucking incredible. This guy has some serious talent! Vote for dan

  • Aaron willhite - 14 years ago

    Damnit!! computer lab!!i should of thought about that you mean to tell me ive been stopping by all these libraries for nothing gah!!! haha kidding-

  • mitch dolan - 14 years ago

    i emailed the website asking to moniter the votes to see huge change in vote patterns. and to chris craves, when i ggot like 12 or something votes within a small amount of time it was from my brothers computer class who all have seen my drawings and did like the one that had the most votes of mine. they all voted for it just to clarify why i had iffy voting patterns for a moment.

    yeah this has basically become a popularity contest and it is shitty but thats usually how these kind of contests end up. lloyd and his daughters should have picked their favorites and the picked one at random. as long as people are being honest i will be happy with the result of the contest so good luck to you people who are still in it to win it...

  • Chris Graves - 14 years ago

    I voted for DAN SCHECKLER - TROMA IS BORN because I think it's one of the best pieces on here! I like his drawing style. The others are good too, but his piece kicks ass and shows the meaning of Troma perfectly! :)

  • dave P - 14 years ago

    Talent is lacking in this contest. There are 2 quality pieces up there and I think we all know which ones I am talking about. "Troma Is Born" isn't junk; just not the best piece on display.

  • aaron willhite - 14 years ago

    ahhh curse you cinco de mayo ... all my friends are getting plasterd and away from there computers!!! haha

  • special k - 14 years ago

    you can definitely see all the hard work and dedication put into TROMA IS BORN and I think it is the best one up there!!!

  • Aaron willhite - 14 years ago

    Hey guys I did the one with lloyd with the big weeiner and the goo pouring over hollywood, I just started whoreing myself out to face book and other allies for votes so maybe i can win an art contest to??? yeha i know dosen't make sence to me eightherbut anyways i wish people could see the picture then vote for there favorites it dosen't even have to be mine just what peolple honestly think is the best one i have a feeling 80% of the voters dinit even look at the drawing's I wouldnt want something to be published by troma if it is published because a bunch of people that don't care about troma vote for it...

  • Chris Graves - 14 years ago

    DOES'NT SEEM FAIR AT ALL! Mitch Dolan - Troma Vs. Evil got 12 votes in the last 2minutes.

  • Allion Jones - 14 years ago

    I'm sorry there are only 2 that have any talent and they both only have 4% of the votes. AARON WILLHITE – TROMA Vs. HOLLYWOOD EVIL SATAN WORSHIPPING HOLLYWOOD CONGLOMERATE. You can tell this was done by hand and not something someone spent 5 minutes on using a paint program on the computer. ERIC SHANSBY – LLOYD CLEANS UP AT ACADEMY AWARDS would be my close 2nd. I wish this would be more about the art and less about a popularity contest

  • Kyle C, - 14 years ago

    troma vs evil is getting alot of votes, and it doesnt totally seem fair but unlike "cousin l" i dont want to assume anything because when you assume, you make and asshole... of yourself hahaha

    i did notice he has 2 drawings in lloyds picks so it does seem like he is favored a bit by old uncle lloyd.

    not an assumption.

    but this morning the guy in runner up already had about 80 votes early on sooooooo

    good luck everyone!

  • mitch - 14 years ago

    someone is a little upset...

    i have a decent amount of friends if that are backing me up and helping. i guess having friends who like your artwork is cheating so im sorry about that.

    im not trying to be rude i just dont think its all that fair to say im cheating and yeah i have alot of votes i didnt even expect to get this much. i do however think its awesome because im not some fancy artist or work for the washington post and have been getting paid to send people pictures. and i do think it came out cool so im sorry you do not enjoy my cartoon.

  • Cousin L - 14 years ago

    Are you kidding? Troma vs. Evil should be in last place!! Also, I have noticed that Troma vs. Evil is getting about 1 vote per minute. Either this contest is fixed or some is cheating..

  • Ryan - 14 years ago

    Troma vs. Evil is the best
