Just a short bit here... I believe the "Eldritch Covenant" is almost certainly the best model of the 3 (in terms of mesh/animation/sfx/texture/etc). However, I'm not a Judge, and I personally put a *lot* of stock into how useful I personally find something to be. The EC is super cool but it's also really pushing the boundaries of "Classic" IMO (no offense Mythic, I already told you all this), while the King of the Dead feels like something I could just plop right into the standard game & not notice a difference. (Loktar, your Temple is super keen but something about the textures makes me feel more "doodad-y" with it. Love the bloody skeleton, though).

So my vote goes towards the KotD.

Excellent work, all!
 
They're allowed, as long as it's not for themselves. :] Judges are not allowed to vote at all.
Ah good :p

Damn, I just noticed I messed up the channel animation with the skeleton in my last edit right before the end of the contest. The blood is floating up instead of falling down. I'll fix it later but too late for the contest I guess.

Is it ok to update the bundle on Hive before the end of the poll?
