Oh well, I tried.

The above painting of video game character "Malice" just became rejected pinup number two.

Bearing in mind that this was for an art style pinup book: "Play magazine's Girls of Gaming," I can't figure out why the editor did not feel my version. He probably would have been much happier with a screen shot from the game (seen to the right-->), and would have saved me a ton of time! Anyway, no chance for a strike three, as the book goes to press tomorrow. So I'm out on a bunch of time and money.
Meh, what are you going to do. I was pretty happy with it, personally.

the guy must be retarded....
well, it was supposed to be a pinup, right? There's hardly any boobs there at all. :mad:
That's especially funny, because one of the editor's comments was that her boobs were too big.
that doesn't make any goddamn sense. They must have gotten your entry confused with another one in some kind of wacky file folder mix-up.
it's like being in the desert and saying "you know? There's just too much water here."
I will never understand how that piece will be rejected.
That really is retarded.
