Technomancer wins in originality.

AnemicRoyalty wins in wrap work.

Denu wins in art.


But Chrome? Chrome simply wins.

I voted for Pins' abyss fiend.

Every other entry (Except Xatoga's, but that didn't even feel remotely Nagaish) was "Take a random WC3 unit, use obvious Naga thematics, be utterly uncreative, and submit something that looks identical in color and design to something already in the Naga race." Take a look at the Naga race, people, there's a red turtle, a blue walking dragon, a rainbow flying thingy, white murloc slaves, and then the actual naga thingies. There's so much room for creativity in the design, and unfortunately it appears as though Pins was the only one to take advantage of that in the least. That's why he got my vote.

[Pyritie]

God dammit they're all so good D:

[FrIkY]

My vote goes to Dionesiist. I love Dio's style, his idea and it's simply awesome.

I don't agree with you, there were some very creative skins. Dionesiist for example, 67Chrome and Technomancer, too.

[Rising_Dusk]

It might come as a surprise to you, but there are different types of creativity. I agree in that there were some nice clones of the Myrmidon/Siren on different models, but there were extraordinarily few who were creative and clever in their interpretation of the contest's theme with respect to the Naga race itself.

[frostwhisper]

The naga race itself are the myrmidons and sirenes.

Besides, I do see a red scorpion and a dark blue dragon in there.

[Rising_Dusk]

The dark blue dragon being a snap dragon on the wyrm model with couatl wings. I also did mention Xatoga's entry in my post, if you'll care to read it. Not saying the textures aren't neat or whatever, but they simply aren't clever interpretations of the theme.

Maybe you haven't played WC3 in awhile, but what is referred to by the words 'naga race' with regards to WC3 is the race as seen in WC3, which includes a lot more than sirens and myrmidons.

[frostwhisper]

Right then.

_{bust still, AR, Techno and Chrome are pretty damn creative in my eyes. Not so much with the THEME as with the models they use.}

I'll agree with that.

[bananaHUNT]

I voted Dionesiist :D

[Dionesiist]

I was actually afraid of making it not naga-ish enough... Guess I was wrong.

[Chaos.]

Chrome all the way. Epic skin. Great job

[XS-Archangel]

Friky or Dio... I'll vote tomorrow. It would be better if we have ability of three votes :)
