AVATAR ARTWORK COMPETITION

[scarletcougar]

Deep breath...

here are my submissions. The first is an OC (Faelin). The second is Zuko from Lake Laogai.

Spoiler: show

Spoiler: show

I suck at people... but figured... can't hurt to at least try.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Sweet.
Thanks for your submission. We are always looking for more.

I know I submitted an idea or two to you before when you wanted to use the origin to the Firlily. I wonder what ideas you used.
Edit: I actually looked at the thread again and saw another post.

There is not too much time for more submissions. I am not sure if Nana will expand the deadline again. I personally would not impose a deadline until we have a consistent community basis for a competition, but the contest in only partially in my hands. I personally encourage participation where it fits, and if it seems like that time will increase the support, I am sure I can get to to extend the date for a deadline any amount necessary to encourage a stronger base of support.

Thank you to those who have submitted, and to those who have thought of submissions, I look forward to seeing your work.

[Nana of the Wind]

Thank you very much!

[jessique94]

I would like to submit one if the competition is still on, I already started just gotta finish! Xmas preparation has kept me quite busy

[StashinGremlins]

May I submit one or two?

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Hmm, I missed these posts during the holiday time. The original deadline was 1st, but I would not mind allowing submissions from the both of you since you gave your posts asking about it before the deadline and I did not get back to you until after the deadline.

Since the lateness of the post on the part of my negligence, I personally would make it my personal responsibility to allow you to have a submission.
Also, Two submissions is fine, but you will be judged as an artist for submissions rather than each individual picture.

[StashinGremlins]

This is my submission. It's an older Ty Lee, that's why her hair is down for once.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Thanks for the submission.
I am glad to accept your work.

I would like to submit one if the competition is still on, I already started just gotta finish! Xmas preparation has kept me quite busy

There is still time. The deadline was pushed to January 1, 2010 but since you asked on the 25th, and I did not reply until now. I would have no problem giving you the time you need to finish this. Thanks for your interest.

[StashinGremlins]

I finished my drawing. Can you judge this one instead, please?

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Sure can!
For anyone that has not submitted yet, I know I original said that I would impose a deadline of the 8th. That would make submissions closed, but anyone that has a submission for the rest of today can still submit.
Right now, we still only have two judges, and we were looking for a third to make it so that there are no ties, but other methods can be employed for tie breakers if necessary. Thank you for your support.

[Nana of the Wind]

Submissions are now closed.

We will begin judging today. Thank you all for entering and for letting Soare take over as i neglected the site for a while. xD

We will have the winners posted by the end of today.

If you have won, we will PM you.

[bellefatcat]

so....who won?

[Tera253]

not sure.
the host was and is a very inactive member, and that was part of the reason why I didn't join [because for the record, I got my Flash program back about 3 weeks ago ^^]

~Ty Lee~

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Don't worry. We haven't forgotten. I'll admit my mind has been elsewhere lately, and I am sorry for the delayed response.
I am still on the forums, so I really don't have a good excuse, but we haven't forgotten about you and we are actually consulting it now.

[Nana of the Wind]

Voting is done, finally. Sorry about the wait.

1) Bellefatcat
2) StashinGremlins
3) ScarletCougar

[scarletcougar]

Yay! congrats to Bellfatcat! That was really a good bit of art!

My style preference is to the Ty Lee drawing, Congrats on second place!

Why I even qualified is beyond me... 0.o

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Three contestants openly submitted, so no one is left out of a prize.
We hope for more next time, but you start from somewhere.

Thanks to all who submitted, and to those that showed interested, but either didn't for other reasons, try again next time.

[bellefatcat]

XD thank you! I'm looking forward to another drawing competition! this was fun

Ambisonic Uhj Format
The UHJ hierarchy Ambisonic B-Format may possibly be the standard format for being employed during the studio. When it is feasible to distribute B-Format recordings for decoding and listening by end-users, that is absolutely only starting up to be supplemental wide-spread with the looks of software-based avid gamers. Ordinarily, Ambisonic recordings are currently dispersed during the type of 2-channel discs, CDs and plenty of some others implementing the 2-channel model on the UHJ encoding hierarchy, which, opposite to B-Format, is meant for remaining stereo compatible. UHJ was designed by the Ambisonic crew, integrating complete conducted from the BBC (on their quadraphonic approach, Matrix polo hackett H) and Duane Cooper (on Nippon Columbia's UD-4/UMX quadraphonic technique) along with other individuals, and creating throughout the then-current version of Ambisonics, System 45J. The initials indicate numerous of sources integrated into your approach: U from Universal (UD-4); H from Matrix H; and J from System 45J. The theoretical route from B-format to the distinct stereo/mono-compatible UHJ variants. In truth lots of mixing applications went straight from multitrack to 2-channel UHJ just prior to the arrival of electronic audio workstations and present Ambisonic mixing developments. UHJ is often a exceptional hierarchical process of encoding and decoding directional audio info inside of Ambisonics technological know-how. Depending on the volume of channels provided, the technique can have more or less details - but constantly, UHJ is extensively stereo- and mono-compatible. Somewhere around 4 channels (L, R, T, Q) may perhaps potentially be used. In its most critical kind, 2-channel (L, R) UHJ, horizontal (or "planar") encompass info and facts could be carried by regular stereo sign channels CD, FM or digital radio, and so forth which may be recovered by using a UHJ decoder with the listening conclude. Summing the two channels presents a really appropriate mono sign which in real simple fact is actually a much more correct representation from the two-channel model than summing a typical "panpotted mono" resource. If a third channel (T) is available, this may be used to present better localisation precision towards the planar surround end result when decoded through the use of a 3-channel UHJ decoder. The 3rd channel doesn't have to possess complete audio bandwidth for this intent, resulting in the prospect of so-called "2-channel" gadgets, wherever the 3rd channel is bandwidth-limited to 5kHz. The 3rd channel could possibly be broadcast through FM radio, one particular instance is, by the use of phase-quadrature modulation. This configuration was tested within the Impartial Broadcasting Authority (IBA) in the united kingdom as remaining a solution to broadcasting encompass recordings. 2 or 3-channel UHJ provides the same accuracy as 3-channel (WXY) B-Format. Including a fourth channel (Q) for the UHJ course of action permits the encoding of entire encompass audio with peak, called Periphony, with a diploma of precision just like 4-channel B-Format. Whilst there are actually several compromises so far as accuracy of localisation is worried within the 2-channel UHJ procedure, 2-channel UHJ will likely be the format generally utilized for distribution of Ambisonic recordings. 2-channel UHJ recordings could possibly be transmitted through the use of all usual stereo channels and any from the standard 2-channel media may very well be made use of with no alteration. It really is stereo ideal in that, with out decoding, the listener perceives a stereo picture, but just one certain which could be noticeably broader than common stereo (see Tremendous Stereo). The even now left and acceptable channels may perhaps also be summed for the rather sizeable diploma of mono-compatibility. Replayed through a UHJ decoder, the surround features is unveiled. UHJ Hierarchy Selection of channels Decoder?

A UHJ decoder, principally to the 2-channel format, was the very first aspect critical for consumer come across of Ambisonics. As soon as the technique was incredibly initially currently staying promoted the push was two-pronged: around the anyone hand encouraging document companies to endorse the strategy and start discs (this was, looking back, ill-advised: document businesses knowledgeable been burned by quad techniques and were not inside of of your disposition to endorse anything; as well as in any state of affairs, the persons today to steer had been engineers, producers and high-profile artists, who could use Ambisonic mixing gadgets on sessions at will, equally as that they had a gratis rein in applying other outboard studio products and solutions), though even so encouraging equipment manufacturers to enroll as Ambisonic licensees and entail decoders in their merchandise. Inside a UHJ encoder, the indicators are processed inside a time period amplitude matrix to recuperate a founded of indicators that resembles B-Format. Commonly the signal will genuinely be B-Format, but even though while in the instance of 2-channel UHJ there is insufficient facts and info out there for staying wanting to reconstruct a real B-Format signal, only something that behaves inside of an extremely related way. The awareness is then handed to an amplitude matrix that develops the speaker feeds, through the use of a set of shelf filters, which strengthen the precision and efficiency on the decoder in more compact sized listening environments (they'll be omitted in larger-scale purposes). Ambisonics was made to go perfectly with precise dwelling hackett clothing rooms and practical speaker positions: most residing rooms are rectangular and to be considered a result the essential course of action was designed to decode to four loudspeakers in the really quadratique, with sides in between one:2 (width two periods the dimensions) and 2:1 (period hackett suits 2 times the width) in measurement, as a result suiting nearly all living rooms. A layout administration is usually offered to allow the decoder to be configured to your loudspeaker positions - an essential piece of Ambisonic replay the location it differs from other encompass techniques: the decoder is especially configured on the dimension and format to the speaker array. The format regulate might go forward and require type of your rotary knob, a 2-way (1:2,two:1) or even a 3-way (1:two,one particular:1,two:1) change. four speakers may perhaps be the bare minimum demanded for horizontal encompass decoding and although this is best for the widespread consumer surroundings, higher locations demand additional speakers to existing total surround localisation. For additional info on this subject, see Ambisonic decoding. Super stereo A problem of hacketts the usage of 2-channel UHJ is always to obtain a surround final result the listener demands an Ambisonic UHJ decoder. These have traditionally not been considerably available. Nonetheless, listeners with a 2-channel UHJ indicator with no decoder observe a "super stereo" influence. As being a consequence from the inter-channel phase relationships inherent inside the encoding scheme, the listener experiences stereo that is undoubtedly ordinarily noticeably broader in comparison to the loudspeakers. Concurrently, a attribute of domestic UHJ decoders has long been the inclusion of one's tremendous stereo component. This permits regular stereo indicators for getting "wrapped around" the listener, employing a lot of the talents with the decoder. A management is furnished which permits the width for being numerous concerning mono-like and entire encompass. This delivers a simple capability for the listener to get a great deal a lot more from their latest stereo assortment. Each of those qualities are already utilized as delivering details through the early times of Ambisonics, and especially Ambisonic mixing. They served to defeat a "chicken and egg" state of affairs wherever file companies were hesitant to launch Ambisonic recordings considering that there have been handful of decoders even though available in the market, although hi-fi producers were getting unwilling to licence and involve Ambisonic UHJ decoders of their gear just because there wasn't quite significantly mainstream unveiled materials. Throughout the anyone hand, it experienced been worthy of acquiring a decoder as you could get a lot more exterior of your respective energetic (stereo) document assortment; even although to the other it completely was really really worth developing UHJ recordings due to the fact even people today with out a decoder could acquire considerable added gains. Undecoded UHJ In a earth where the vast majority of listeners do not have Ambisonic decoders, most listeners to 2-channel UHJ-encoded content is going to be listening undecoded. Some engineers have most well-liked the perceived much more spaciousness, width and stability of undecoded 2-channel UHJ to regular panpotted stereo blend techniques. The late John Timperley, for example, used the UHJ Transcoder (a simple tactic to Ambisonic mixing) extensively and formulated several sequence of UHJ recordings even nonetheless he was solely knowledgeable that handful of individuals currently would ever just before listen to them decoded, and put together material intentionally into the ideal undecoded conclude final result. Sadly these recordings have not but been completely documented. Similarly, to your Tina Turner album, Break up Every single Rule, the backing vocals are actually UHJ encoded - at the same time as within this circumstance there is no location in the listener decoding the tracks, as being the relaxation with the combination is in regular panpotted stereo which is composed of no encompass details - the vocals were encoded purely for the spacious influence without acquiring decoding. When listening to undecoded 2-channel UHJ resources, the rear information is folded down in surplus with the entrance cycle at 3dB down, to make sure the soundstage retains a point of 'distance' between front and rear. Like, a audio panned all-around the listener in encompass will, when auditioned undecoded, surface far more distant as it passes across the 'rear'; moreover, the interchannel cycle relationships linked with rear localisation make the sound hard work to seem in the rear from the listener just like a effects of your form of 'aural decoding'. On the other hand, while this is generally effective within the state of affairs of Ambisonically-mixed subject product, within hackett polo shirts the event of articles recorded with a soundfield microphone (SFM) application the ambience, one instance is within of a concert-hall, is likely to be properly huge in volume when undecoded to produce the recording appear to be over-reverberant, wherever it is surely not the problem when the UHJ is decoded into surround. This has long been cited with the earlier as currently being a criticism of some SFM recordings by some file reviewers: the challenge could be ameliorated by cautious mic array positioning (eg a spot closer for your musicians). UHJ generation tactics Earning (normally 2-channel) UHJ recordings is basically a uncomplicated subject matter of passing B-Format signals by way of a UHJ encoder and recording the outcome. These could quite possibly be derived from soundfield microphone recordings or from mixdown. On top of that, mixes might be produced instantly in UHJ through the use of a UHJ Transcoder, like that supplied by Audio & Design Recordings although in the 1980s, along with other Ambisonic mixing hardware (see Ambisonic mixing: Legacy components). The Transcoder each encoded B-Format into 2-channel UHJ and in addition allowed a stereo front phase and a stereo rear stage (both equally with adjustable widths) for being transcoded direct to 2-channel UHJ, when other units facilitated the manufacturing of B-Format mixes that could possibly be encoded into UHJ with the Transcoder. A major selection of 2-channel releases experienced been produced with this solutions, including quite a few albums throughout the KPM production music library label, and commercial releases by way of example Steve Hackett's Till We Have Faces, The Alan Parsons Project's Stereotomy, Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio, Frank Perry's Zodiac, a series of albums across the Collins Classics label, and some some others, most of which are readily available on CD. Also, an enormous assortment of UHJ releases, originally on vinyl and later on CD, which is even now becoming extra to today, has turn out to be created by British independent classical file company Nimbus Records. Nimbus was one particular unique with the earliest Ambisonic licensees. See The Ambisonic Discography during the External links for extra info. The lack of availability of 4-track mastering solutions led with a tendency (now regretted by a variety of the persons right now involved) to blend specifically to 2-channel UHJ rather than recording B-format and then converting it to UHJ for launch. The reality that you can blend direct to 2-channel UHJ with nothing a great deal far more as compared to the transcoder manufactured this even considerably more tempting. Just like a stop end result there is a lack of legacy Ambisonically-mixed B-format recordings that could possibly be launched at present in a very lot additional advanced formats (as an illustration G-Format). Nevertheless, the remastering - in addition as in some conditions start - of authentic 2-channel UHJ recordings in G-Format has proved to generally be surprisingly efficient, yielding success at least as good because initial studio playbacks, thanks mainly in the direction of the appreciably higher quality of present-day decoding plans (like file-based software decoders) in comparison to those available as soon as the recordings have been getting made.
