T-DOME: Last Man Standing FINAL ROUND

**strych9ine** · May 11th, 2006

Finally.

The Last Man Standing Thunderdome has finally come to the last showdown of the event after 10 excruciatingly long months. Thanks to everyone who made this event possible... artists who gave up their free time to jump into the chaos that this event that promised nothing other than a good time. Oh, and keep a look out if you are interested in jumping into the next LMSTD, it's coming very soon...

Unfortunately resident art monster Dan Milligan has just been absolutely swamped in the last month preparing for E3, so understandably he wasn't able to participate. I want everyone to give Dan a huge friggin' hand, because if you've been watching this dome from the beginning you know he's been bringing some amazing pieces to the table consistantly round after round.

So, that leaves two finalists to battle it out in our final round: steak-tron vs JasonChan. Without further ado, what we've all been waiting for...

Topic: The Last Man Standing

steak-tron

Ammagawd!

**Olof** · May 11th, 2006

Woosh!

I want dan milligans too (I'm spoiled!)

Nice works, I like Jason's better though. Way too much black in Steak-tron's.

AAHHHH!!!! Beautiful!!!

**Icon** · May 11th, 2006

I felt like it took forever waiting for this t dome to arrive!
Some great pieces the both of you!!! !

Very lovely! I feel for Dan, I'm very sure he would have loved to be a part of this, but E3 does call!

Aside from this really awesome! I love the overall quirkiness in steak-tron's piece. it leaves you thinking of the next step.

There is a certain beautiful woe in Jason chan's piece that i love. I would have not expected any less from the both of you!

hee! Rock it! You guys are too cool. :3 but my vote goes for Jason! :3 I guess I am a fan! (I guess it's just me but I kind of wish it would have been more finished.. then again I bet there is a lot going on for ya right now) >3

**Summer Pudding** · May 11th, 2006

Good show chaps. S'gonna be tough to judge this one.

Pete

A thousand thanks for organising this all Cody. See yez all in the next ruck!

**JasonChan** · May 11th, 2006

Phew! It's over! Man, that was a crazy year of t-domes!

Yeah, I wish I could have finished this up more - I've been swamped with deadlines and I'm actually in the middle of finals right now. Steak doesn't have it much better either. He's been pretty busy himself.

Hope you guys like

**JasonChan** · May 11th, 2006

Dude, Steak, that's hilarious

Is that me on the floor or the couch? haha

**Red_Rook** · May 11th, 2006

awesome work guys

s'gunna be a tough one.

**entdroid** · May 11th, 2006

I really like how different they are, though both are awsome!

Jason's is my favourite, so breathtaking...

**Shinryu** · May 11th, 2006

**Hyver** · May 11th, 2006

Bravo's all around!
Definitely three worthy masters at work, especially considering workloads and such

on to the next rounds!

**Irene Gallo** · May 11th, 2006

I just sent Cody my votes (I wanted to do it quick before I read people's replies) so I wont comment on these two pieces yet, but...

HUGE round of applause for everyone took their time to enter this competition. And a HUGE round of applause to Cody. It's been a blast to follow! The images are amazing, the topics were inspired....Great fun and awesome work all around.

**~Faust~** · May 11th, 2006

That is fantastic. So far my vote would go to Steak-Tron, though both images are amazing! I'm going to take a further deep look at them now

**DavePalumbo** · May 11th, 2006

my vote that counts for nothing goes to Chan here, great piece man! Some kind of marathon Thunderdome...

**p4b10** · May 11th, 2006

props for you guys... it has been a long run. Beautiful piece Jason!

**shadoman** · May 11th, 2006

Hhahah... great stuff guys. I love the mood and broodiness of Jason's. But the humor in Steak's stands out as well. Both good executions in two different ways.

**noiion** · May 11th, 2006

OoH Lah Lah! Beautiful work all around. Steak Tron's entry cracks me up.

**Dan Milligan** · May 11th, 2006

First off, let me congratulate Steak and Jason. Killer pieces as usual. And in the same breath let me apologize to you guys as well. I hope my no show hasn’t tainted this for you. It shouldn't, you guys kicked ass! All though I do these Thunderdomes for fun and friendship I take my commitment seriously. It could not come at a worst time. I’m very sorry
And let me thank the CA community in general. Thanks for all the encouragement and critiques. GOOD TIMES!
and finally, a huge hug and kiss to Cody for his tireless effort on this monster. Much love

Peace
Dan
(now back to work)

**Denart** · May 11th, 2006

S-tron! I love the insane use of cools and warms!

J-chan! I love the extreme use of brights on the lady

**Aly Fell** · May 11th, 2006

Great stuff guys! Congratulations to both finalists for producing some excellently realised work. Jasons for atmosphere and Steaks for giggles! And thanks to Cody for all the hard work... hmm... I wonder what's next?

**Pattern Recognition** · May 11th, 2006

Both pieces are marvelous! Great work guys, for being the ones last standing! I can't decide which one I like more, both are so great...! I love the depth (the room itself) and lighting of Steak's pic, love the dramatic settings and colors of Jason's pic... and deep down I wish you guys had a couple of more days to get them properly finished off! And that Dan could have submitted something as well

**mwillustration** · May 11th, 2006

my vote is for chan's, even though i doubt that it matters.
both are cool, but steak-tron's has some figurative problems for me on the guy lying on the couch.
that guys looks like he's supposed to be lying face up, according to his pants, but the upper body gets really confusing and i can't stop staring at it. (sorry)
he looks to be twisted at the torso with his head almost facing down, although after alot of looking it's most likely supposed to be going to the side.
but the arm on our right on this guy is so high up it doesn't look right with his positioning.

plus i really like the mood in chan's better anyway, but both very well done especially for both of you being swamped with other things!
