@Undeadducky, i usually allow only those who understand me to quote me... but i will make an exception this time... just try to be careful, ok?
@Xian, you can make an own review and some decisions... but wait until you discuss with dynamiczx before posting anything or so... we need to make this as clean as possible.
@Topic: Please no more unnecessary posts here. Yes Blood Raven, due to Dynamiczx's decision you still have until tomorrow (GMT+2).
Bloodelf, i wasn't saying that you lied, it was a joke i didn't expected that you will take it serious, yes i know that it took you long time, i mean, it's obvious...but it's also very surprisingly that you made it with paint, i didn't said that don't believe the fact that you didn't made it with paint
And by asian i meant a very skilled person so sorry if i offended you as i didn't meant to do it
Anyways, the contest will end today at midnight(because of the exensions) and the judges will have a 7 days time to judge the entries, meaning that they will bring their results by sunday midnight
@ Undeadducky
Now, your Medusa looks much, much better! GJ!
@ EloTheMan
Very clean work, well done, but a little too simple. Good job though!
@ Wimbo
Well, well ! Ares finally acquired a sword that fits perfectly with his fame!
@ BloodElf
Beautiful entry, Bloodelf !
You worked hard, but the result rewards you = is so beautiful ! <3
After such effort and long days, no wonder your lack of humor.
That's nothing, we all go through this sometimes!
~~~~~~~~
Good luck, contestants!
Unfortunately, not all candidates have submitted their work (probably had their reasons - exams, school, ....etc). In this way - depriving us of the optical pleasure of watching a more exciting parade of colorful Fsjals (on this beautiful theme, which the current contest has).
Hopefully we`ll be more lucky in the future!
Tatatataaaa.....now, let the judges to decide in peace!
Ok... here is what i say, each of us (the judges) makes a rating for all the drawings. Like:
Contestant X, for his drawing of F fsjal gets:
>Basic traits- M points
>Originality- N points
>Details- P points
>Difficulty- Y points
>Fun- Z points
>Optional: A reason for the above scores.
... and so on for all drawings
After that... each of us (me, xian and Dynamiczx) will post it's rating and then Dynamiczx would make an average score. Of course it can always be mathematically checked by any member because we already posted the ratings.
I will wait for Dynamiczx to see if he approves with this method of judging but i believe it to be better since all the members can see each judge's score therefore it might be fairer.
If he does agree with this, Xian, you can begin judging and then post your ratings right away.
Ok... i will post my rating really soon. And... Dynamiczx... it's not really like the previous one since that one had a "hidden" rating... i mean it was never meant to post the actual ratings... but only the final results... i only posted the ratings because people demanded it.
Brotip: Highlight the freaking text to see the Verdicts!

's Fsjal Entry: Medusa,the Gorgon
Basic Traits= 15/15 Comment: You kept all the basic shape traits,that's no lie,so surely you will get a perfect score on this criteria
( this is ok)
Originality= 35/40 Comment: Pretty original concept,though to some people,the mythical medusa is the first that pops on their minds.
( ok origanalality, firstly i made my own version of medusa that i dont think exists
because she is turning into a snake herself )
Details= 20/25 Comment: Nice Scales,though you didn't add anything at the chin part
( i put to many details in why 20? scales on snake ,hand and head,and the fibre of her toga ,wrinkles on her toga,i have many details why did i need details at chin?)
Difficulty= 10/10 Comment: Of course it was difficult,adding 17 snakes was hard
( this is ok)
Fun=7/10 Comment: Looks fun enough,though the overlapping scales make it harder to have the "comic fsjal view" on the users
( i diddnt understand this category for me it was confusing
'cause did i have to make a balloon or something)
Final Verdict: 87/100
the score is great idont mind

yeah thats cool and everything butmine is still sortoff original

that one you posted and the final version of mine youll see what i mean
Xian, if I put the sword in the other hand it would've blocked the face, and you must have a serious problem if, when you have your sword in your left hand and someone's looking from the right side to you, the sword is visible in front of your face... and thanks brah!
Edit: Can I post my final version here in the forums now?
Undeadducky's Fsjal Entry: Medusa,the Gorgon
Basic Traits= 15/15 >You have all the basic features... nothing to comment.
Originality= 36/40 >Original and a good idea, as a a character... but the way you made it is mostly the way everyone sees it... although i think that the gorgon can be made in many ways... for example she could have some sort of shady hood, or her snakes would be shackled in some golden tiara... etc
Details= 25/25 >Amazing details... well done... so what can i say, it's well done.
Difficulty= 10/10 >Well... it was difficult at making it with such details... but still i think that the program you used helped much.
Fun=10/10 >Looks funny, amusing... it's like most good fsjals. Final Score: 96/100 Wimbo125's Fsjal Entry: Ares,the God of War
Basic Traits= 15/15 >I see all basic features, nothing to comment.
Originality= 38/40 >Original and well made... the sword is a very interesting addition since most descriptions show Ares with no weapon.
Details= 23/25 >Good work... but there are a few spots where the he seemed... i don't know... too plain (maybe i am mistaking but that's how i see it).
Difficulty= 10/10 >A fsjal where you really put some work...
Fun=10/10 >Looks funny... the eyes make me laugh a bit... well, it's a fsjal nonetheless. Final Verdict: 96/100 EloTheMan's Fsjal Entry: Odin,the Nordic God
Basic Traits= 15/15 >It's as any other fsjal, all basic features.
Originality= 40/40 >Original... you even gave him a staff, which i've never have imagined but still suits him well so... good work.
Details= 20/25 >Well... as it is already obvious... it's not so detailed.... it's too plain from many points of view.
Difficulty= 6/10 >I don't know how hard it was to make... but in my point of view, seeing the work of others... i think it's still kind of an easy fsjal to make.
Fun=10/10 >A funny stance of Odin... this one really amused me... it's perfect in it's own way. Final Verdict: 91/100 BloodElf300's Fsjal Entry: Hera,the Queen of Gods
Basic Traits= 15/15 >All basic features here... nothing to comment.
Originality= 40/40 >Original... a staff, which, once again... you don't see much since i always imagined here without anything in her hands... just the perfect
Details= 25/25 >Just perfect... and amazingly awesome... you simply broken your own records by a mile...
Difficulty= 10/10 >This... well... this is a criteria which cannot be even comprehended in your position... since i am 100% certain that you worked too hard for any human being to make such a fsjal.... you would deserve double score for this... but it's not really possible.
Fun=10/10 >Simply funny in an epic way... Final Verdict: 100/100
Final comment: Just simply too few fsjals to judge... if the next contest doesn't have more than 8 contestants (that will actually participate) i won't even read the topic to view the evolution of the contest.
Other than that.... amazing fsjals... and about the 2 which i've given equal score... well don't blame me... i simply can't decide.
EDIT: Also... xian, please don't mind but i took the liberty of "taking" your rating "template"... Just copied a few of the general texts.
I think it's not easy work for judges - considering that the quality of work is much higher than in the previous contest (this means that the bar is even more up to the next contest).
I've seen in this competition, no doubt, some of the greatest Fsjals.
Looking at the first Fsjals posted in the "Pictures" section, it`s unbelievable how much you(Fsjal makers) have advanced.
As demands increase also, it's becoming harder to keep intact the two requirements: basic features and fun.
Congratulations to all participants for their work !
Don't worry Elo... you will be better next time (that is... if you want to be better). As you said... the participation counts... as it gives you experience *smile*.
@wimbo ,challenge excepted its now up to dynamiczx
good luck wimbo , lets see who places 2nd...
sorry elotheman im sure you will do best of all of us the next time
(contestant judge voice) aaaaaand the winner is
(building up tension the crouds screams out names and shouts)
Bloodeeeeeeelfffff!!!!!!!!!!!!
(crowd:wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ,oooooooooooooooooh)
Awsum fsjal blood elf
1) It's said "accepted".
2) Yes... it's up to Dynamiczx... good luck to both of you! *smile*
3) Nice "RP of judges and crowd" although the sounds that are made by the crowd (at least as i see it) sound more like irritated sounds... not cheering...
... And the second place goes to... *Commercial Break* ...Well, let's look at their entries again!... *Another Commercial Break* ...And now backwards... *Commercial Break* ...Upside down?... *Another Damn Commercial Break* ...And now some random artist!!!... *Yep, another commercial break*... And second place goes to Undeadducky... *Commercial Break* ...or Wimbo125...
Well then... let's try to be a bit unique... ok? No more commercial breaks... this means no more unnecessary chatting here... please, if you want to debate about the contest's results before they are pronounced... do it in VMs. It's simple and helps keeping threads like this one cleaner.
Sorry for the absence, but i had lots of studies these days, anyway, here are my results:

I like how Odin was portrayed here like some sort of seer, or a druid, if that is the right word, and not in his warlike form which you often see him portrayed as, still it clearly refers to Odin as he resembles wisdom, and leadership which Odin had

I kinda enjoy how it's a little similar to King Leonidas, but his eyes and his fire sword clearly say that he is a God of War

I am willing to give 20 points here.I appreciate the details on the armour, the eyes, and the sword, also the cape

Ok, so those are my results, now there will be an average between the 3 results posted by me, xian and w3.player.
Anyway, if you find something unfair in my review, i would appreciate to post it here so i can reanalize the entry and see if we can manage to discuss this
Well that's the final result as far as i see it... we all had basically the same scores, except for the fact that me and Xian could not give different scores to Wimbo125 and Undeadducky, while you placed Undeadducky higher than Wimbo125... so i think these are the final results.
*laughs* come on.... let's be serious... i have a better idea, since wimbo and undeadD are anyway so close in score... give them both second place... and elo can claim the third place... this way, everyone wins *laughs*. The first contest with no losers... interesting *strokes chin*.
@ w3.player
To be honest, i was thinking the same possibility!
Considering that both works are difficult to tie, each with his style and his beauty, i couldn't tip the balance for any of them.
@Wimbo,chill man,it's gonna be average,2 judges think that your work is "2nd place worthy" like undeadducky's,and only 1 judge objected,so what the hell.
@Blood Raven... a poll can't be arranged in a fsjal discussion... if you know how to do it... then please enlighten us... but making some sort of "each one of us posts his opinion and we add points to the OP" is not really a good idea, since it's hard to keep under watch.
Also... about the fact that you think that BloodElf doesn't deserve first place... i am somewhat thinking you are doing it from prejudice for female fsjals... maybe i'm wrong but... that's how i see it from your reaction.
