First of all I just want to say that the Zelda challenge was the first one I didn't do, and after the announcement I feel extra terrible, sorry guys!
But the thing is, I didn't do it simply because I wanted to keep working on the Monster Hunter and some other personal projects. I have a lot going on in my personal life, I have a full time job, I'm getting married this summer and have to plan for all that shit, it eats up a lot of time. That being said this is what I want to do, and I use all the time I do have to work at it. I hate Zelda too, but I likely would have done this challenge because I need to get better. I don't know how to draw everything. I would have found the challenge an excuse to do studies I hadn't done before, practice things I hadn't done before, practice my blending, work on getting faster, etc etc.
I can already tell I'm going to start going on a long rant, so I'll try to cut this short. Anyone who thinks doing a challenge is a waste of time clearly doesn't understand the whole point of the Crimson Daggers and doesn't need anyone to explain it to you. This isn't school. This isn't something you signed up for. Come and go as you please. It's just a stupid argument. Get over yourselves.
Now, the whole reason I came to post is that I want to say for me, personally, I'd prefer less reimagining and more basic fundamental challenges, like the Sci Fi Hunter and Pet, Action Figure, Swamp Elder etc. Because I know I'm not at the level where the attention is going to help me yet. That's just my preference.
I'll do any and all challenges to get better though, bring on the bloodsports!
