John Bigboote Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 We had such a blast watching 'an Evening with Robcat'... my Dawn was enthralled and excited and we both loved the 'pomp'... great job on the production, Rob! And congratulations, Gerald! I want to see a picture of you wearing the Grand Prize! Quote
thejobe Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 good job guys! this contest was a tough one! Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Hash Fellow Posted September 12, 2015 We had such a blast watching 'an Evening with Robcat'... I hope it didn't seem that long! Thanks, none-the-less! Anyway, my goal was to give the winners some more time in the sun than we usually give them around here. It was fun to talk to Gerald, Matt and Kevin and find that they are all living commercials for A:M. Just ask them, "What do you like about A:M?" and off they go! I hope everyone enjoyed getting to know some of our accomplished users a bit more. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Hash Fellow Posted September 14, 2015 Fun Fact: Insects are called "insects" because they are in sections. It's true. The ancient Greeks called them ἔντομον [éntomon] which means "cut in sections". The Roman naturalist Pliny translated that idea literally into Latin to get insectum. "Insect" first appeared in English in 1601 in a translation of Pliny's text and most European languages also use some variation of insectum. (That was going to be an interstitial in the award video but I never got around to it.) Quote
nemyax Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 most European languages also use some variation of insectum In Russian it's nasekomoye, based on a root (sek/sech) that means notching/slicing/cutting ("a sliced-up thing"). It must be a loan translation from Latin. Quote
largento Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Just thought I'd remind the three caricature winners to send in their photos! I have an open window right now since my A:M subscription is in limbo while I wait for my activation code. Quote

I have an open window right now since my A:M subscription is in limbo while I wait for my activation code. And if by chance, any of the caricature winners already have a Caricature by Largent of themself, they could use their prize to have caricature made of a family member or friend to give as a gift! Quote
largento Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Luckily all three are new to getting a Largent caricature. Don't fret so much over the photos you send. I'll make you look good. :-) Quote
Admin Rodney Posted September 28, 2015 Admin Posted September 28, 2015 Sorry for the delay Mark. I've asked my daughter to take a couple shots of me. She's all into photography so I figured I'd put here to work. Don't fret so much over the photos you send. I'll make you look good. :-) Luckily all three are new to getting a Largent caricature. Well, yes and no. This will technically be my first Largento caricature but... you may recall the last time you recreated my likeness you turned me into a zombie! (I'm told that's a good thing) Quote
largento Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Completely different animal, Rodney. This will be 2D. I'm still patiently waiting for my code so I can do anything in 3D. :-) Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Hash Fellow Posted December 5, 2015 Fun Fact: To get my nails ready for their close-up I soaked them in Palmolive liquid.Medal winners... I'm still working on the design for the medal. As always, I am paralyzed by the small details. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted December 5, 2015 Admin Posted December 5, 2015 Gah! You just made me realize I still haven't given Mark my photo! Yikes. Sorry Mark. Fun Fact: To get my nails ready for their close-up I soaked them in Palmolive liquid. You are seriously out of control. Quote
largento Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 No one has, Rodney. I'm wondering if I should put a deadline to it. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Hash Fellow Posted December 7, 2015 I have sent reminders to all three. Quote
*A:M User* Roger Posted December 7, 2015 *A:M User* Posted December 7, 2015 Mark, I apologize, I have been a completely lazy bastard about it. Part of the problem is I can't get a proper photo of myself with only myself to take it, I either get that ridiculous "selfie" angle, or the bathroom mirror photo. I will have to see if I can figure out how to take a timed photo with either my iPhone or my other camera, or get someone to take it for me. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted December 7, 2015 Admin Posted December 7, 2015 I've sent my photos Mark! Thanks and my apologies for the delay. Roger, I'd take your photo for you but.... you may still be somewhere in the Midwest that isn't near to me. Quote
*A:M User* Roger Posted December 7, 2015 *A:M User* Posted December 7, 2015 My last sighting was rumored to be somewhere in the vicinity of Canton, Ohio. I guess I will have to dig up the manual for my camera and sort out how to do a timed photo. I will have it to you no later than end of the week, Mark. Quote

I'm sure a mirror photo would work fine, too, since he's just using it as a reference. Quote
*A:M User* Roger Posted December 14, 2015 *A:M User* Posted December 14, 2015 Mark, I sent you my crappy mirror selfie, I hope that's going to work for you. Let me know if that will work or if you need a better picture. Quote
John Bigboote Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Yeah- ooops! Sorry Mark. I have sent you my mugg-shot, after a prodding from Robcat! Quote
largento Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Hey Guys, thanks! I haven't had a chance to start on them yet, but I have all three of the winners' photos, so I'm good to go! Quote
largento Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 Of course, without a deadline and occasional lashing of the whip, I can easily forget. Robert mentioned on Saturday that he is almost finished with the medallions, so finally, at gunpoint, I've happily finished this obligation which I'm shocked to realize was from nearly two years ago! I can't imagine it could possibly have been worth the wait, but here are your caricatures! (They are png files on transparent backgrounds, so you can have fun with them however you would like.) Quote
Admin Rodney Posted May 15, 2017 Admin Posted May 15, 2017 Awesome! Thanks Mark! We need to do this again (the contest and the caricatures that is!) It is definitely worth the wait. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Hash Fellow Posted May 15, 2017 Those look great, Mark. Thanks! Quote
largento Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Thanks, guys! I'd say we were way overdue for another image contest! Quote

largento Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 amazing caricatures.. I loved the style and appeal Thanks, Marcos! Robert, that looks fantastic! Quote
Fuchur Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Yesterday I received a package with a real gorgeous content. A really VERY nice looking and feeling medal including a very nice stand. I received a Hash jacket of Siggraph 2000 too. I could choose which year I'd like and I took 2000 because that was the first time I got involved with Animation:Master. It was A:M v8.0 at that time. It is a great honor and really a great price. I will surely never forget that . Thank you very much to anybody who was involved in making this happen and my special thanks to Robert for making all this true. Best regards and thank you very much again *Fuchur* Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 18, 2017 Author Hash Fellow Posted June 18, 2017 Congratulations, Gerald!And big thanks to Ken Citron (pixelplucker) who did the heavy metal casting that made these medals possible! Quote
