That's a georgeous pic by CS. Both are excellent but there can only be one.

cs's is more dynamic, but babycakes' is understated dramatic.
I give more props to babycakes for the sutble drama instead of outright flashy pin up.

Babycakes almost has a story to it, it feels like en media res, while cs's is just a bunch of cool poses with no purpose.

oh well... that's just me tho.

I've got to go with babycakes.

The composition is excellent as is the execution!

Hard decision though

Gotta say though, CS' ghostrider rocks!!!

I understand and somewhat agree on the 'story' notion, and though I failed miserably, the intention was that Sauron was controlling one or both of the two other characters into fighting each other, thus sauron kinda ominous in the background.
But since I started this at 5 the day it was due, I didn't manage to make that come across; it does just look like a static pinup.
That and Sauron is like 12 fet tall or something, how on earth can he ride a horse? I can't recall if he rides one in the movie, but I pity the poor beast.

Anyway, thats my excuse, and I'm sticking with it.

Babycakes hands down.
It's clearer to me. layout, contrast, the works.

Babycakes, It's nice to see Ghostrider concerned with keeping his eyes on the road (safety first kids!)... but, it probably would have been more intriguing to have him looking towards Sauron. Psylocke also looks a bit large. Other than that I love the shading and the idea of it.

CS, Very dynamic action between Psylocke and Ghostrider, the only part of your drawing I don't like, is the skinny and rather unscary version of Sauron. That character should look alot more intimidating.

'Cakes. CS's lines look better and the bike looks better, but as an overall piece I think the babycakes picture just works better and is more cohesive.

cs only cause his lines are cleaner both are worthy of praise though

Woo! Good drawoff guys! Strange subject though. :D My vote goes to Cakes... its not as dynamic as CS's but I liked babycakes a little more... for reasons that have already been mentioned in previous posts. ;) Nice job to the both of yas!

I voted for Babycakes. It was tangible to me, somehow. More realistic. But I do really like the energy and flash in CS's. Good work from both!
