The Technical Awards presented by Banes: Most Improved Art
Niccea on Nov. 14, 2011
Congratulations to Harkovast!
Here is a new and improved banner:
All of the Technical Awards were drawn by Banes. Please send him thanks and fan art.
Critics Acclaim
It's clearer and less scratchy than in the previous year, it looks nicer because the coloring has been done so well that it makes the drawings themselves actually stand out more, where in previous pages it has slightly blurred out the sharpness of the drawings. Also, the stiffness in Harkovast that used to be its defining flaw has steadily declined as he has shown in recent action scenes, compared to a year before where it was rather difficult to understand certain scenes, these ones are much nicer looking… I give Harkovast a 5 for improving both in coloring AND in character movement.
Harkovast tied with Used Books for the top nomination by popular vote.

@Hark, or it just shows that you are improving steadily. The judging is on the previous years improvements, so many comics start out weak get stronger then settle down as the artist peaks. You obviously have yet to peak.

Yes El Cid, the implied insult of this award is aways an interesting one. On the one hand I am winning an award and I've got better....but on the other hand that means I used to suck. And the fact I've won it twice now means I must have REALLY sucked when I started out! You guys must have been crazy to read such crap back in the day! Anyway, my neurotic, over-analysing asside- HOORAY! I WON SOMETHING! WOOHOO! GO TEAM ME! Thanks to everyone who votes for me!

@El Cid - thank you! @ayesinback - I should be a shoe in for the 'most desperate attention seeker' if nothing else! ;)

Congrats to the highly devoted comic creator and promoter, and MUCHO-MULTIPLE award nominee Harkovast!

Oh and well done to Banes on putting together these presentations! They're excellent!
El Cid at 8:19AM, Nov. 14, 2011
Yay Hark! This is that weird award that sorta says, "hey so you weren't so great last year, but man this year you're... so much... better!" I'm glad you're getting some recognition for developing your unique art style to where it is today. Congrats!

Two years running, if I'm not mistaken. Congratulations Hark. You've earned it.
