No Entries Past This Mark.

[-anubis-]

Beautifull works everyone. enjoyed poshspice presentation.

lol just realized it is chow 119 not 23 ;)

[VulgarDragon]

Lot of great works here...can't really say which one is my favorite because so many good ones.

[Deon]

Hi Oregano - howecome mine didn't make it to the poll? Did I do something wrong?

[The Whistler]

Voted for:

Shotgun Baby - Too darn cute! I love the tentacles :)

Orion9282 - my absolute favorite this round, I love the sketchiness of the design, really looks awesome. I've been staring at it for about two days... Wow.

Poshspice - great coloring and great job overall, the princess looks like your entry for Evil Genie :) (not that that's bad though, just something I've noticed)

Kian - you just made him look so awesome, great job with the background. Looks much better without the title.

[Nerahla]

Lev, Dabble, Phaethon, Shotgun Baby, Orion9282 Indus and Kian got my votes, nice job everyone!


Really dug Lev's the most ;)

[MJ_Alcazar]

I just realized I could've voted for more than one! I'm sorry, next time I'll look more carefully!
I voted for Kian, I loved his take on it and it had a very marsian, sci-fi feel to it.
Others I would've voted for include : Lukavi, Poshspice, dabble, and lev. I thought all of them really captured the marsian feel and they all had a good personality in the piece.

I LOVED these, it was so hard to pick. Good job everyone!

[S.C. Watson]

Hi Oregano - howecome mine didn't make it to the poll? Did I do something wrong?

Deon - no you're fine. I apologize - I accidentally skipped yours when I was grabbing them last night. I've got it posted now and I gave you 5 comp votes because I blew it. :ore:

Thanks,
~Oreg.

[Deon]

No worries, Oregano:) Wow - I think 5 votes is a bit much for my humble attempt, though:jawdrop:
I voted for a whole lot of people, because there's so much good stuff here. I am really going to have to up my game:)
Stoat - What happened, man?

[Primordial Seven]

As much as I'm in love with /ev's rendering, I have to give my vote to kian. His piece is not only wonderfully rendered but very evocative and portrays a deep emotional side of this character which I think is missing in the original posters and covers.

[armando]

Voted for Indus. Felt it was the most original of the group. Putting the hero in danger set it apart compositionally. Turning the cape into a red leather jacket was a great choice, also like the chaps making it a sci-fi western, smart. The crown of gun scopes is a dramatic touch.

[indus]

I voted for the Shotgun Baby.
in fact I can't recognize the design of John Carter clearly in this pic but
I can imagine the whole world of the Mars where John Carter is in stylized by Shotgun Baby. I really like this style.

and Thank you for your comment armando.

Hope not too late my vote...
