Wow, there aren't very many entries to choose from. And I'm honestly not very impressed with most of them.

Some of them are too 'artsy' or impractical as any kind of fashionable camo, others are just boring and unimaginative.

One of them is literally just a picture of a DNA strand. I mean, come on.

Man, I wish I bothered taking a look at this little competition before the last day of entries, I'm sure I could have made something decent.

Oh well. -»\_(pâä)_/-»

Yup. Guess we'll never know how awesome you are. Oh well.

Well that was uncalled for. What?

Lol, take a look at your own post x3

There's a difference between constructive criticism / critiquing and just coming in here saying, "Oh these are too artsy or boring mine would have been better"

What do you want me to do? Break down each design with specific criticisms? I was just expressing my opinion on the submissions as a whole. Some of them were just not that good, either too unimaginative or unoriginal and some too overdesigned.

And I didn't come in here to **** on all the designs and say I could have done better. All I said was I think I could have come up with something decent.

I apologize if I came off harsh, but it was bugging me that virtually no one was actually criticizing each others designs.

Some people just are bad at art. It might hurt somebody's feelings, but it's just a harsh reality of life.
