The medium reaction.
bravo1102 on Oct. 14, 2015
It was stolen. Pure and simple. This is the “medium” page. The first one was really cruel. Jenny referred to Your Choice as “that crayon, safety scissors and cut-out comic” the looked like “grade school project a proud parent would put on her refrigerator” Aura as a parent took great exception to that coming from the non-parent Jenny. This one is toned down a bit.
Go back a few pages to the “How I do it” fillers and try to tell me that “your Chioce” is better use of medium. Actually it is. Vinomas better uses his medium than I use mine. I've barely scrapped the surface of what it is possible to do here. I rely too heavily on filters to hide my mistakes of which there are many and I'm often careless with some of the effects and shadows. Sometimes the scale varies from panel to panel and let's face it… my speech balloons are pathetic.
Once I got over the intial hurt and sting and cried in the corner for a while after throwing some books around, yes Your Choice deserves the award not this hastily put together piece of trash. Who's being self-deprecating? Who won the award says it all as well as the admittedly lame and somewhat non-committal remarks of the judges. Almost like they were embarrassed to pick some grade school art over a finely polished piece of PS work that even the presenter said was fabulous.
Daweirdhaddy is the alternate world from “Your Choice.” I might also do a page with my version of Princess January gloating with some vampire buddies like Darth Theda from Battle of the Robofemoids, Bob from Attack… and Lon.

That category has to be next to impossible to judge. Everyone of the creators are pushing alternate ideas for creating comics.

And also, since you mentioned it, you do realize you're now required to post that other version, right?
El Cid at 4:43PM, Oct. 14, 2015
At least they're not taking it hard! Well, like KimLuster said, the comics are so different that you can't even judge them on the same scale. The winner's going to come down to how your particular set of judges decided to interpret the category most likely. I've had to judge a lot of categories like this, and all sorts of weird stuff happens. I think this is clearly the more readable and overall better comic of the two, but in terms of creative use of medium, who knows? They judges may have just said, "yeah, this other comic looks weirder," and picked the other comic.

That's why I'm going to try different techniques in Belle's Best.
KimLuster at 4:52AM, Oct. 14, 2015
All I know is I would've hated to judge this category! The two non-trad. mediums are so different, it's like asking which is the better art: Picasso's Guernica or Michilangelo's David? SIG is certainly more visually appealing, but Your Choice is so wonderfully weird! They had to pick one, though...
