[Lynette-3dt]

Hi everyone,
Voting can now start!



Good luck! :)

[DaddyDoom]

Here's my voting:
#1 > stroggtank: Great modeling, texturing and environment. Love the colors and the expression of the character!
#2 > Novisky: Really good modeling, rigging and character design. Only the scenery and environment lacks the same level.
#3 > siege: Cool concept and really funny entry. The texturing lacks some expression though.

Good work everyone, and good luck with the voting :D

Ugga!

[GARBO X]

My Votes
1st stroggtank
2nd ianchaos
3rd evolution

Good work everybody.

[ianchaos]

1st Stroggtank - great character...his grumpy expression works in good contrast to his happy bright coloration.

2nd DaddyDoom - funny scene with a memorable buoyosaurus.

3rd Noviski - great scene...nice modeling. There's something about the lighting that doesn't quite work for me...castle and clouds look like they are in a sun lit scene, but I'm assuming this is a night scene...otherwise, very good entry.

great work everyone...hard to pick the best 3.

[cmarcus]

My Votes
1st stroggtank : Great modeling
2nd Graphixsuz : beautiful image.Very good...
3rd Gune : Cool concept

Good work everybody.

[Siege]

Well my first choice is easy...but after that It was hard to decide...lots of great stuff.

1 Stroggtank: Love the character, especially love the plants...

2 DaddyDoom: Great stuff...got the makings of a Children's Book

3 Noviski: Great stuff also...lots of fun detail. Love the expressions.

[TonyClifton]

1 _ stroggtank _ the character is perfectly hanging in the water with a totally relaxed pose. excellent & convincing!
2 _ jizrik _ great texture and atmosphere!
3 _ siege _ the concept worked very well!

good work everyone!

[stroggtank]

1.- jizrik: The character fills good this category
2.- Gune: I like the proportions of your character
3.- DaddyDoom: Cool idea, enviroment fits perfect the dino

:-)

[grafixsuz]

This was difficult between 1st and 2nd but here goes.

1_ jizrik _ Kept very close to original idea. Just nasty!
2_ stroggtank _ I like it great character, just a little too cool for it's own good.
3_ DaddyDoom_ very original idea, excellent execution of style. And wonderful colors!

This was an awesome contest. I wished I could put two contestants in each place cause then it would be

1_jizrik/stroggtank
2_DaddyDoom/Seige
3_Noviski/cmarcus Definitely runner up material.

Once again great work everybody. And since this was my first try at doing such a competition, I am learning alot from you guys! See ya all in the January comp! :dance::dance::dance::dance:

[Chrisp-3DT]

Here are my top three:

[aloalvarez]

1.- stroggtank; Great cool image!! The red glow is a lil bit too strong as I think.
2.- Noviski; Very funny concept.
3.- Siege; hahaha Funny from the very first sketch. More detailed textures should improve the image.

Good luck to all!!

1- stroggtank
2- DaddyDoom
3- Siege

[Woody_3d]

1. Yam Fries - Exelente trabajo de diseño, modelado y textura. le faltaria ubicarlo en un entorno.

2. stroggtank - Excelente, la expresion, el diseño, la textura. Me parece que en la puesta final pierde un poquito, hay partes oscuras en las aletas que no se definen bien, me gustaba mas el ultimo WIP.

3. Noviski - Muy bueno. cuando veo tu WIP parece que modelar fuera sencillo, muy buenos los diseños y la idea. En la puesta final tal vez yo estudiaria mas los colores.

Feliz Año Nuevo para todos

Y me canse del google translator

Y bueno zinkete, que luchen ellos con google translate.

Yo me canse, si tengo que pasar al ingles todo eso pierdo media hora y me interesaba escribirlo.

Cuando escribo cortito lo hago en ingles.

Y al que le interesen mis excelentes opiniones sobre composicion, arte y diseño, que se las rebuzque.

Voy a escribir un libro, pero bilingüe.

Sorry everyone I don't have time to translate this.
Saludos

[DaddyDoom]

I'm Portuguese, and I clearly understand what you two are writing, and that's not nice at all...
You lazy Spanish dudes eheh. Now go make yourselves some 3D!

[Noviski]

Was a hard decision, but I made my choice. Here it is:

1- stroggtank
2- DaddyDoom
3- Siege

And, my Spanish skills too,

i´m not voting again. dont compute this.

1. Yam Fries - Exelente trabajo de diseño, modelado y textura. le faltaria ubicarlo en un entorno.
1. Yam Fries - Excelent work in designe, modeling and texturing. it was better if you placed him in an environment

2. stroggtank - Excelente, la expresion, el diseño, la textura. Me parece que en la puesta final pierde un poquito, hay partes oscuras en las aletas que no se definen bien, me gustaba mas el ultimo WIP.
2. stroggtank - Excelent, the expression, the design. the texture. I think, there are dark parts in the fins which are not defined well, I liked more the last WIP.

3. Noviski - Muy bueno. cuando veo tu WIP parece que modelar fuera sencillo, muy buenos los diseños y la idea. En la puesta final tal vez yo estudiaria mas los colores.
3. Novinski - Very good. when I see your WIP that seems modeling it was so simple, you have an excelent modeling technic, good designs and idea.
In the final entry maybe you try to learn more about colors in the composition.

Feliz Año Nuevo para todos
