I vote for Dualnames, because of his exquisite use of light and shadow.

Okay, I must repeat myself then.
Sure, I vote for Dualnames on all three acounts, though Captain Rico and Xellie did a pretty good job too.

Idea: Dualnames - very original and dark interpretation.
Technique: Xellie - It's clean, but nicely executed.
Usefulness: Xellie - I can just see how this could work in a game (hotspots, exit etc.).

Well I can't comment on Technique really but I do like Duelnames and Ricco's (especially Ricco's as I love all things underwater based)

What's up Q? When do we finish this comp and move on? Just asking...

Captain Ricco · Thu 29/04/2010 07:31:38

DO i have to vote??

Idea - Hum, ill go with Mad, kinda generic lab, but it has charismatic style to it... Dual is good too, but couldnt read much of what was going on other than the suastica... to dark
Technique - Xellie, awesome perspective, i have no idea how to use those angles
Usefulness- Xellie again, i can see many nice hotspots going on there in a quick look

Since Questionable seems otherwise engaged, and as a moderator, I count the votes as follows:

Mad: 5
Cpt Ricco: 6
Xellie: 8
Dulnames: 9

It seems Dualnames is the winner!

Dualnames · Sat 01/05/2010 12:48:58

It's been a great competition all! Thanks for the nice words there, and well, I barely thought I'd win. And I'm serious here!

Anyway, let me start another competition ASAP.

Dual, congrats! Can't wait for the next one.

I have temporarily unlocked this thread, because Xellie would like to dish out some trophies. Who am I to say no to trophy distribution?
