Had a great time working on this...thanks for all the advice, I learned a lot. I think I see why BigToe assumed that the base mesh would have the first outfit attached to it...rigging clothing is a real pain.

As I'm sure it's bad form to vote for yourself I'm glad Klash posted his in time so I've got 3 others to vote for.

1st place
Dash-X

Concept - 9
Model – 6
Texture – 9

Great work on the hair and fur accessories....love the concept. Modeling got a 6 only because the shape of the hands a feet didn't match the quality of the rest of the design.

2nd place
Klash

Concept - 7
Model – 8
Texture – 8

love the model...love the texturing job. Very original Great work.

3rd place
Smokescreen

Concept - 6
Model - 6
Texture - 5

great work everyone...

EDIT: I know BigToe had started the voting on this one when the time was up...but his post seems to have disappeared.

Akimba since your entry came in after the deadline and BigToe had closed it for voting, I had already cast my vote. I definitely would have voted for you, (not saying for what place) but it wouldn't be fair to the people I already voted for to change it now. Great work though...really nicely done.

first place - Klash

concept. 10 , lovin the toad.
model. 9, nicely modeled.
texture. 9, awesome texture!

second place - Dash-X

Concept. 10, i just love the style they were made in.
model. 7, I would have used all the extra triangles to rounden things up, make them more smooth, or simply to add more detail.
textures. 7, they arent that great, but it isnt bad either. You could have used allot more detail, but it works for the anime-ishy style.

Third place - Ianchaos (because the pictures arent loading atm for me this is out memory)
concept. 9
model. 7
texture. 7

Second Place: Dash-X

Concept: 9

I know it's terrible manners to vote for yourself but because Ianchaos' pictures arent loading I cant really vote for his stuff. I dont really know if i can vote for Akimba's (and if i did it would be in first place) so that only leaves myself by process of elimination. I'll just give myself third place with floating 7's. *shrug*

Third Place: Smokescreen

Model: 7

First Place: Akimba

Concept: 8. Very 'Prince of Persia' esque :P
Model: 7. Model's nicely built. Clean.
Textures: 8. Nice, Vibrant looking textures. Though may have too much contrast.

Second Place: Ianchaos

Concept: 8. Can't go wrong with anthropormorphs! :P
Model: 7: Good. Could of been more optimized.
Textures: 8. Simple & straight forward. Can use a some texture overlas to help 'pop' out more details.

Third Place: DashX

Concept: 10. Amazing line art. Like the other goodies on your site too :P
Model: 7. Overall seems very clean.
Texture: 6. Your maps look amazing, though this score gets a hit for your renders makes your model/texture seem faded & desaturated. Would of like to see more dirt & grime texture overlays, something to bring out your model even more.

Much appreciated Ianchaos and Smokescreen

First Place-

Klash

Concept (0-10) - 8
Model (0-10) - 9
Textures (0-10) - 9

Solid work on the model and the textures. Great attention to detail in the diffuse map. Well done Klash

Second Place-

DashX

Concept (0-10) - 9
Model (0-10) - 7
Textures (0-10) - 7

Love the sketches and the overall concept. Both the model and texture could use a bit more refinement. Facial detail both in the mesh and texture could have helped her stand out a bit more. Otherwise you did well with the texture, especially the fur and animal skin application. Colors are very desaturated in the renders? Ideas? Either way, Great work! DashX

Third Place-

ianchaos

Concept (0-10) - 8
Model (0-10) - 7
Textures (0-10) - 6

This was a great concept from the beginning and you made great progress in both modeling and texturing. He ended up being a very fun character overall. Awesome job at exploring your concept and coming up with a overarching theme and sticking to it. Nice job ianchaos

Great work everyone!!
