Hello, it's Lynette from 2DArtist Magazine, here! This is the VOTING thread which is now up and ready for your fantastic final entries to be posted!

Please post your Final Images in this very thread!
800 or 1024 size is fine.

Please post all entries before 8th February 2008 10:30AM GMT.
Only entries posted before this date in this 'Stylized Animal Challenge - Jan 2008 - DRAGONS - VOTING!' thread, will be eligible for Voting.

Voting will then start immediately afterwards and will run until 15th February 2008 10:30AM GMT

I will post to commence the Voting. Voting will be the same as last month with each voter putting forward their top 3 in order, 3pts for a 1st place, 2 pts for 2nd and 1 for 3rd. This means that will have to choose carefully! Feel free to give a reason for your choice as it will be good feedback for all of you!

Best of luck!!

OK, my votes:
1st - Migsta - that kind of detail and quality has to be rewarded!
2nd - bigmikey - great one, really mean-looking beast.
3rd - Chate Noire - this guy has so much character, you just have to love him :)

[daveneale]

Awesome round, my votes:

1:Migsta: Awsome colours

2:Entdroid: very cute, simple yet effective

3:Scary Potato: very cute again, love the face, also digging the scales




Sawa-that dude has real character

Muleskinner-very statuesque

Ryoken, that's one happy dragon the expression is awsome

Chate Noir-hehehe, super fun

Conorboy-I fear for the butterfly's life:|

BohemianChaos-this came a long way from your wip:)

Gnahz-I would not like to be in that Zeppelin

Paweu-really like the angle you used, the cows are awsome too

Big Mikey, I was really close to voting for you, cool render

Einen, love the chinese feel

The Antarctician, love the colour on the wings...thats one friendly looking dragon:)

[bigmikey]

1st - Entdroid Love the children's book style
2nd - Daveneale Great style, cute and unique
3rd - Einen Like the oriental dragon, well done

Migsta - close 4th. I had a hard time deciding. It's so hard to pick with such great artwork.

[entdroid]

1- Einen
2- Migsta
3- Daveneale

[SPipes]

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s210/MasterColl/revbadge-1.jpg

gah! I missed it, didn't I? I ran into computer problems and couldn't get it posted

Any chance of mercy for a victim of Murphy's Law?

[muleskinner]

Great looking beasties everyone!
My three after much debating...

Migsta
ScaryPotato
Einen

Man, too bad for the computer troubles SPipes. Very dynamic and nicely detailed form on your dragon.

[Ryoken]

I'm assuming you can't vote for yourself (I know, pathetic), so here's my 3:

1) Big Mikey
2) Chat Noire
3) Einen

Awesome dragons! I don't feel qualified to critique, though.

[Migsta]

1.) Entdroid - Love the storybook quality.
2.) Chate Noir - Hilarious image, the expression is great!.
3.) The Antarctican - Nice style, cool toon linework.

A lot of cool dragons to chose from...had to narrow it down.

Nice round everyone!

theres my vote!!!

[ScaryPotato]

Awesome looking entries this round! Here are my votes:

1st -Migsta - I absolutely love the personality with your dragon! Who knew neon green could look so good :P

2nd-The Antarctican - A nice friendly little story going on here! It looks to me like they're all friends, and are planning on having the dragon act like he's mean so that the knight can save the town (and presumably the village hotty) from firey doom...or that's what I read into it, heheh

3rd-bigmikey - Your whole scene is so clean and crisp here, I really dig your style!

[Lege1]

Awesome work all..Sory I missed this one. I love dragons, but I've been under some serious reconstruction as an artist. Oh well, Hopefull this will come up again one day. Great work from all of you!

[Chate Noire]

1. Migsta. Cutest dragon ever with beautiful rendering.
2. daveneale. Extremely stylized, adorable and weiiiiird. I love his little wing.
3. ScaryPotato. Resizing a dragon to bird dimensions is a sweet idea, and its pose, expression and design are great.

Other favorites are entdroid, bigmikey and Einen.

[The Antarctican]

Really impressed and inspired this month with all the entries.

1) BigMikey
