Thoughts on the bloodsport

THANK YOU, gangster!

although again, at six challenges, 4 were based off original designs and 2 were fan art. It's not exactly like Bloodsports has been all about fan art either...

Assuming someone participated in all Bloodsports, the portfolio wouldn't be "full" of fan art. And as you say, "focusing on the fundamentals", if someone needs more to focus on their fundamentals, that's much harder to do if you're also being judged on the originality and functionality of your design. I think these are two very legit sides of the coin: fanart allows you to focus more on the actual process, whereas original art allows you to focus on your design sensibilities (not that you couldn't also take fanart so far that your interpretation requires flexing that muscle also). I think so far they've struck an appropriate balance of the two with plenty of opportunity to be as original and creative as you want.

Can we at least stop pretending that all we've done is play "fan boy cover art"? If someone's only been inclined primarily to participate in the fanart challenge, then that's not the fault of the system as its been so far implemented... is it?
