Beauty Contest Entry

Ok, I read a previous post about the beauty contest being just Cut and Paste. Being on that topic (of how bad they are), did anyone see this one?:

That is the worst piece of art I've ever seen (Not the kau, the picture itself). Jeez, what has Art become of?! :roflol:

oddley, the Kau isn't half bad...but the thing its in...is that supposed to be a neohome or somthing?

I'll attempt to quantify it to catagory:
Modern, abstract, neo-ism.

Oh, but bless them, they tried

Thats because its a cut & paste

It could be made by a young child so its difficult to judge how good a picture is unless you know the age and ability of the person doing it. My daughter is only 8 and wants to enter the beauty contest, (i wouldnt let her just cut and paste though) with her own picture, and it would be really hurtful for her to see people slaughtering her work.

Actaully I've seen worse cut and paste. But what's really worse is when somebody steals the art from another user.

I'm not slaughtering the work, I'm just not a huge fan of cut and paste. If this is the work of a young child, awesome job. I didn't even think about that...

Oh well

It may be a badly done copy and paste, but it's allowed since it's the Beauty Contest. Not like that monstrosity in the Art Gallery...

I'm with freakytreehugger. Art theft is much more worse. And besides, it couldn't of broken any rules if it's still in the BC.

EDIT - xjox seems to be correct. The child is under thirteen.

you're allowed to do C & P for the beauty contest if you change it a bit. my guess (and my hope!) is that this is a very young neopian

Well on that page:

Something has happened!
You find a mystical codestone on the floor!

The pic sucks but the codestone's pretty good

Oops! Sorry, Totutos is not in this weeks contest.

o.o I thought the BC ended on Fridays. Or they took it out... was it a bad picture? Like innapropriate or something? *clueless*
