let me just say i love your lines dude...i know this was a rush job for you, but shazams face is awesome lol. im a total fan of your style.

[davechisholm]

yeah, man. johnny's style is really interesting--almost a less-polished beastie-esque style. i really enjoy it.
that said, i think nick deserves my vote here because his piece is more of a complete piece.
great work, both of you!

[alfred183]

Voted Nickguy. I love the SHAZAM letters/speedlines.

[Popninja]

Why should this even count? It's late.

Anyway, every entry I've seen from Blaque looks like it was literally done in five minutes. How anyone can vote for that piece is beyond me. Really, a scribble gets a vote?

Vote: NickGuy

[Morganza]

Blaques scribbles are awesome!

Coming from someone that does the level of work that you do, I'm surprised to hear that.

Thanks for quoting me, Dave. Now I can't edit my post now that I've had second thoughts about how rude that post was.:(

sorry, man! it's all good. i'm sure blaque can take the heat.

[Telekinetic Ketchup]

I gave it to blaque because I liked his better, theres just something about Nicks that I don't like, I think the heavyness of those blacks is better suited on a character like Batman somebody who's as brightly colored as Captain Marvel it just looks odd and unneccessary(however you spell that) to me.

[dfbovey]

A poll posted more than 12 hours past the deadline really shouldn't count. But at this point I don't really care.

[NickRocks]

the pic was sent to me under the deadline...i just wasnt online and unable to make a poll for it till now. =\

[Johnny Blaque]

Yea, I didn't know if I should have made the poll earlier or what. I assumed it was the person with more points that made the thread.

And Nick, you did a great job making a iconic looking piece. Love that you went with Marvel transforming.

You are surprised I have an opinion different from yours??? Blaques artistic skill is evident to me even if it's just a sketch, just look at the faces and gestures, while nickguy's pic looks like he draws the same character over and over, way over rendered and bland.

That's not what I wrote, Morgan.:rolleyes:

[Manji]

I went with Johnny also. I too like his scribbles.

[Popninja]

BTW, I rescind the statement I made earlier. People vote for what they like, and it's silly for me to question why anyone would vote the way they want to vote.

I also apologize to Johnny Blaque. If anything, I'm amazed you've gotten as far as you've gotten with what you've done. Hat's off to ya. Maybe our paths will cross one day.

thats the first time my stuffs been described as over rendered! sweet

[Morganza]

Well, the speed lines, and all the flat black. "Rendered" was a wrong choice to describe it.

It's all gravy dude. I'd like to battle you one day...maybe even soonish? ;)

And I forgot to mention how cool "Shazam" was integrated into the speedlines, Nick.

[NickRocks]

yeah, at the end of the day guys, just vote for which drawing you like better.....and make sure its mine ;)

[Popninja]

Eek, a full day left on voting. The tide could turn on this one easily. A 7 vote lead isn't a wide lead at all.

[ArmstrongArts]

Wow this was definitely a polarizing match

[NickRocks]

ZOMG i didnt lose!!!

that was a great sketch from johnny blaque, i right click save ased it. thanks for the nail biter, dude.
