Idea - Ghost (makes me want to whoop GLaDOS again! )

Atmosphere - Bog (the spookiest image 6 (i think, maybe a few more on the totem) colours can create. looks post-apocalyptic.)

Design - Geratuza (the lighting wins me over in this one - looks very alien)

Composition - Geratuza (jagged-spiky glowing-bobbles galore!)

Functionality - Geratuza ( i can see some very believable exits, hidey holes etc, although walk behinds could be a pain to create)

Technique - toss up between Geratuza and Ghost - i like the simplicity of Ghosts, but the eerie, sketchyness of Geratuza's. Hmmm.... ill go Ghost - it wins because I really like the jagged silhouette of the windmill.

ok, i'll try to do a brief resume of your pictures:

Ben - I like this mountains, the blue colouring and over all the brightnes and darknes of the scene. But i found a bit empty the foreground on the bottom of the image. Pretty good entry.

Ghost - Good idea this portal, its a background perfectly suitable with a game, with well defined shapes. I like a lot this trees in the background. Great work.

nihilist - i would like to see this image finished. I like the colour a lot and this clouds.

Geratruza - the image is cool, you had achieve a great atmosphere with this. The ilumination is great. At last i saw the face 

Bog - as i see, you usualy gets a good atmosphere with the colouring and the objects in the scene. the only thing it needs is more detail. Good entry

Exsecratus - i think is the best idea. The colouring is pretty good and the detailed castle, a great entry.


And now, after counting the votes this is the result:

Ben304 - 3 votes
Ghost - 10 votes
nihilyst - 3 votes
Geratuza - 20 votes
Bog - 6 votes
Exsecratus - 6 votes

So the winner is Geratruza with 20 votes.

Congratulations Geratruza.
