"rusted metal, burning heat.
retarded, mental, living meat.

he twists my thoughts to rabid rage.
in my own world, I'm flying through space.
I'm reading the book, but on the wrong page.
i am a mental astronaut, tied up in lace.

ceilings falling, bones that rot.
maggots crawling, mom's in the pot.

alive, not living, he keeps me running.
alone in the desert, he caught me as a boy.
He orders me to act with his devious cunning.
I'll never escape for I am the devils toy."

Prophet
"Every Tuesday the devil loves nothing more than depicting one of his favourite Fairy Tales, using the inmates of Hell as his actors...dressing them up, changing their form and in general, Humiliating them. He sits and watches, admiring how hilariously ghastly it all is. However every now and then he will intervene to change the ending or a major part of the tale...usually for the worse."

Skeiff
"I decided to depict one of the mayan lords of hell as the devil's play thing, and give him more of a mortal charcter."

"The devil adopted several slaves, or so called "Playthings". Most of them were souless, lost creatures and human misfits, banished from the surface of the earth."

im totally digging the style of savant o.O
Hence the vote

Sloth and koala: freaky shit :xpld:

luxun and prophet: pure fun ^^

Close second to savant was skeiff for me. Imo upper body + head rox, arms + lower body not as good :(

[Goog]

My vote goes to sloth, it was such a well done entry, great mood and atmosphere. Honestly though, every single entry was kickass this round, wish I had more than one vote :S.

[Leftyy]

koala.one has an awesome concept. Very interesting idea. It was the only one that caught my eye, so I voted for it.

[Apts]

Hey, well I said that mine should'nt be entered as it was only my pencil version and I hadn't had a chance to get anywhere near finishing the coloured one but hey I finally got a vote so it's all good anyway my vote went to Sloth, this was a head and shoulders above your last entry, I love how you've drawn the girl the devil is torturing, one thing to crit is just maybe the devils satyr leg things look a little awkward, looks like you just drew a womans legs then just drew those legs over them but hey the picture remains amazing. As for the others PaperX I wish you'd finished this as all your doodles looked like they had potential and skeiff thats also amazing and came close to getting my vote.

[Bendragon]

Close between prophet,sloth and koala.
Prophet getsthe vote for the most original and imaginative idea.

[asoir]

SO close to voting zan, but koala's lines and subtlety of subject and pose won me over!

[Dile_]

I had to vote for prophet who is imho the only one that got the topic shining through without text and way to much thinking around..

-Dile

[bestow]

skeifs got this one, pure skill. And a cool idea, the devil's plaything should be a standard mortal devoted to the devil.

[Mitchell]

Voted for Zan9000. I really liked his idea, you could definately use more knowledge on anatomy but it seemed fitting for the peice and I liked the imagery and color.

Thanks Bestow!:teeth:

[dannE-B]

my vote goes to Sloth, i think its the most in your face...its a good strong piece.
I also enjoyed Skieffs, especially that guys face..i think everyone has done cool pieces this round...thats why its so close...good luck.

[TLL]

Voted for Goog, because I think it's the best Idea.(But I don't really understand what these two yellow lines are)

[peppi]

Voted koala.one - There's a certain mood to that image that I find pretty cool. I can't decide what it is exactly, maybe the kind of neutral way he's staring at the beholder, maybe the perspective. It's definitely very interesting and sinister, and it you didn't just leave it at the humorous aspect, so you got my vote.

[Goog]

Voted for Goog, because I think it's the best Idea.(But I don't really understand what these two yellow lines are)

yearg those are spotlights, heheh.

[Evil_Sloth]

Voted for luxun, cause it made me laugh so hard when I saw it and I love the way you painted the light and shadow with different temperatures.

[jedininjaman]

voted for goog... very nice depiction of the devil controlling the natzis as playthings...brilliant work!
