One of the better drawoffs I've been in... great work guys. And again, Good Luck! Let the voting begin!

[dfbovey]

This one should be very close. I'm having a hard time deciding between Pacman, Popninja and Justice.

Here's Mc Sketchalot Entry. Can one of the moderators add his name to the voting poll?

Goin with Pacman's. The bubbles are just too damn cool as are his killer whales.

Justice's is damn cool too. Those sharks are so bad ass. Excellent job.

This was an excellent drawoff, tons of great entries, think it'll come down to Pacman and Justice though.

[Aarti]

very beautiful entries..... I don't know which one to choose. I'll have to think about this for a while.

Hmmm.. David, could you spell my name correct, please? You spelled it wrong twice!:rolleyes:

[zaklamp]

had to give it to pacman, probably cause i'm a big fan of aquaman (he's neato)

i also liked folgore's very stylish drawing :)

[xadrian]

Man, it's just amazing how good popninja's become over the years, went with his.

[cabralsoth]

yup im goin with popninja on this ... i mean that pic is just AWESOME..... the rest are great , but that one takes the cake for me it looks unbelievable......

[Popninja]

Wow. Yep, that about sums up this draw-off. A lot of really good entries here.

I took only two things into consideration when deciding my vote. One, who used water and two, how well it was used. Justice has one nice drawing and had this been a color draw-off, I'm sure he would have put something in the background that indicated water. But, he didn't. Same with Ra. Man, if Ra had just pulled the camera back a little and had shown Aspen's legs actually in the water, it would have made a HUGE difference.

I'm rambling. It came down to Pacman and Bovey for me and the choice was hard, but since I didn't understand exactly what Aquaman was doing, I went with David's. He did better dolphins than me and those bubbles are cool, too. All around great drawing.

[Folgore]

Definitely a great all around draw-off. Awesome work.

True enough. I just lacked the motivation for this. This was low-profile for me. (Took about 2,5 hours.)

Vote.. Justice

[Mc Sketchalot]

My vote went to Pacman simply because he rocked the perspective and whales..top notch in many ways.

There were so many beautiful pieces that my own paled in comparison, I'm honoured you guys included me.

This was in every way the best draw off I've seen in a long time.

For me it came down to Pacman and Justice. I had to give it to Pac though cuz it feels more finished. The layout is a little disorienting but the backgrounds and details just work to seal the deal. JV

[violentpip]

i must say i am a bit disappointed with the lack of snorks but good job too all. nicely done

[Sinx]

I went with popninja. I think it's very dynamic and I love that it's a different kind of pose to the stock hero pose. Ra Havok's is good too - a pity it's not really finished.

[psico]

Even tho I like Namor better than Aquaman, I go with Pac's Aquaman because that so damn rocks.

[pacman23]

whoa i'm doing better than i expected.
great job by everyone
laterz

DFBovey never lets me down --had to go with his but it was very close between Boveys and Justice I always like his clean style.

Pacmans was sweet (i just dont know why Im not blown away by it -there are just some things that are wierd to me -I know call me what you will.

Good Draw-Off to all.

Yeah, for a sec there, you actually overtook Justice. I was cheering you on big time. It was nice to see someone kicking Justice's ass, it being such a rare occurrence.

Your drawing kicked ass(mine specifically), BTW, so you shouldn't be too surprised that you're doing so well.

[Justice41]

I went with Popninga's. Would have gone with Pac's but it was hard to look at without getting all discombobulated. I liked it but....
Df's was another that I liked in concept but wasn't thrilled by the execution. Maybe if he had flopped it so she was facing the other way. Anyways good Draw-off. I really wanted to get into that Captain America one but was too late Anyone wanna try again for a Cap Draw-off?

[caanan02]

man!! That was a tight choice, but I went with Pacman. For the drawing itsefl, plus the layout it unique. VERY well done!!;cap;

[D-chan]

It was a toss up between Pacman's and Justice's pic for me. They are both prime pieces of artwork, and choosing between them was mind bending. However, i weighed it out, and Pacman's pic had more energy and conveyed a feeling of being underwater more. Justice's pic, equally skillfully done, but it lacked energy, and IMO was too static. and compared to Pacmans pic, you dont have the feel of 'underwater-ness'.

and thats my 2 cents

[Justice41]

:eek: How'd I manage to get in the lead?

DFBovey got my vote....
