I believe most image editors on PCs should have that function. If yours doesn't there might be a image editing website with a private upload function but I'm not sure.

Can someone else give some better advice on that please? Someone will definitely be better informed than I on the subject...

I found it pretty bloody awkward to re-size with piccasar - needed a little help from paintbrush here and there. That sentence makes me feel like I'm from the stone age...

It is finished and I have sent the e-mail, so now of course I feel like I should have taken a few hundred more pics just to be sure I got the best shots.

Guys, I am really, really sorry about this but I have to bow out.
I have been stricken with a silly case of pnemonia this last week (and has thus been preoccupied with coughing my lungs up and not dying) and as such have been unable to pain anything as I had planned. Aaaaand tomorrow morning I am boarding a plane to Palermo on Sicily for a weeks' worth of vacation so I just don't have time to finish my piece.

I am mortified over this and do hope that you all can fogive this most severe of transgressions.

I will however finish the piece and post once I get home from Italy.

Weets and anyone else who feels they have improved their pictures after sending them, but before the deadline, should feel free to send me an updated entry image. I will happily change the image over for you before the deadline in this situation.

STC, don't worry mate, these things happen. It actually means a lot to see how much it meant to you and I'll look forward to seeing you finish your entry at a later date! Enjoy your holiday and I hope you recover well!

Seem to have done absolutely no painting on my entry... haven't even finished assembling it

Maybe I can do some work on it tonight...

Well I was planning to enter, ordered some stuff about a month ago and it arrived today.

This could be a close-cut thing

You can do it lads! Get stuck in!

Almost finishing my entry!! I'll be sending the pictures in a couple of hours . This is exciting because i almost runned out of time...

Edit: Finished and sent! Yay!

Just submitted my pictures, hope they're ok!

A few more entries in now but I think most of them will come through tomorrow. I hope you're all furiously painting away the hours!

Many entrants have sized there pictures wrongly at first and had to fix them, this is an understandable mistake. Please don't do this tomorrow though as there might not be enough time before the deadline for new entries to be fixed and I will likely have to reject the entry.

• The image of your entry must be either 1000x800 pixels or 800x1000 pixels.

This is not the maximum size as many have read it to be. These are the only sizes I can accept.

Thanks folks!

Managed to paint furiously to get the entire entry done in one day and just emailed the photos.

And now I can relax!

Yup, was painting into the wee small hours to get it done!

And if 1000x800 (or 800x1000) is the only sizes you can accept surely that is the maximum size? Or do the images have to be 'exactly' 1000x800 etc?

SUBMISSION SENT!

I am thoroughly unhappy with my photography skills/photo editing skills (and to be honest my painting skills too). I demand that all judges travel to Australia to properly assess my work. I couldn't decide between the collage or the single image, and ended up with the collage...time will tell, right? Also to include a piece of the model or not was a hard choice...I decided against it. Again, time will tell. But I never expected to do too well, just get a pretty model and get it painted

Anyway, submission sent. I think I did the scaling right...

Approximately 7.5 hours to go! Keep it going guys, power nap if you have to! And keep these entries rolling in, every single one is excellent, I'm hugely impressed!

Only two of the entries are still in the incorrect sizes, I'm sure we can sort that out before the deadline. If this could be you then please check your emails and fix your entry quickly if it is wrong. I believe one of our entrants even used the Paint software on their PC to get the correct size so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Again, the sizes given are the only sizes I can accept and the entries must be exactly that size. The sizes are either 1000x800 or 800x1000 pixels.

In other news: I watched Little Shop of Horrors earlier, I'm calling it carnivorous plant research...

Yep paint does it pretty easily. The resizing at least

I have sent my pictures...

Good luck to all!

3 hours and change left!

Most entries are coming in ready to go, a few need altered but they have been quick to sort out. There have been quite a few language barrier problems, hopefully they will all be resolved in time though.

Looks like the turnout has dropped a little from last time but it's hard to be disappointed with so many beautiful entries.

Just sent mine - with 12 minutes to spare!

Will the entries be posted tomorrow?

Will the entries be posted in this thread or a new one?

The voting thread will be a new thread, but we'll put a link to the new thread in this one, so if you're subscribed to this thread, you'll know about it.

Awesome can't wait !

Hey everyone, that's time! ...well it was an hour ago but I wanted to give a little extra just in case.

I will collect the entries together and they will be posted in a new thread within a day or two. The new thread will be linked here so that you can find it easily.

I am honestly astounded by the quality of the entries, good luck to every one of you! It's going to be a very closely run thing!

It's bed time for me so I won't be collecting the entries together until I wake. I guess that could give you a couple of extra hours if there is someone out there quietly sobbing over an almost finished entry.

There is one person who still needs to resize but there has been an extreme language barrier and a few other problems. I will accept their resize if they can get it in quickly, I may even do it for them. Apart from that we only lost one other entry along the way, another language barrier problem, the person had already posted their entry progress on another site as they didn't understand the rules. I am impressed with their honesty in coming forward and I hope we see them again.

Right, one email to send and that's me. Talk soon folks, thanks for getting involved!

Looking forward to this!
