In Response To: Visualizing the Halo Universe Round 5 Summary (Postmortem) : It would seem that every new round that I post ends up with less and less : participants each week. This time around, we received two submissions, one : of which - while amazing - didn't cover the subject matter, and the other : which covered only the most basic of ideas visually, while the rest went : down in writing. Here's some thoughts, probably not shared by the HBO community: Week one was the Didact.
Honestly, it's just not that interesting.
And what's a Precursor look like? Hell if I know. And it doesn't leave much room for debate if there literally is no answer. Your best contests were #1, #2 and #3.
The other two were, well, more familiar.

Sometimes, creativity needs structure to be built upon.
: What am I doing wrong? : Please let me know. Something that's been on my mind for a while: You give us two weeks to make this art, which is definitely enough time. But there's a dead week where there's not much to do besides look ahead to the next contest. I think that, in the summary post for each contest, you should state the general topic of the next round. That way, even if we don't know the rules, we're thinking about the general idea.
