theorgg & Liz Sherman both get an A for effort. While both had a simple look, both still were easily identifiable as MUSCLE figures.
Tortle: Great concept and great execution. This had a childish feel to it, but the detail was anything but childish. As I've been looking at Army Ants lately I recognized some Ants that looked like the figures, and some seemed completely original – whether this is correct or not, I enjoyed all the figures. I could see this picture as part of a toy's packaging.
Ericnilla: I just loved the FP armor. While the drawing is great that FP armor looks like an actual FP product. There's just something about the edges and curves that look FP. And while the quality of the drawing is second to none, the creepiness is equally there – although I can't quite put my finger on why. My best guess is that it looks both too animal and too human at the same time. It's like a snap shot from Dr. Moreau's nursery.
Scumdogg: This is just such a fun drawing. It has that great mix of quality, simplicity, and humor. What really struck me were the really good proportions on Terri-Bull and the big wheel. Sometimes when you see characters on something either the character or object ends up looking odd and/or out of proportion (the arms are too long, the legs too short, one leg too short, etc.) – this simply looks perfect.
Reccoom Kaboom: I believe for the second contest in a row I have to vote for Reccoom's entry. The quality and look are great, but it is the flawless integration that worked for me. He combined MUSCLE, GPK's, and the contest without anything seeming forced or out of place. The picture looks natural. It doesn't seem like a concept or cutesy. For me, this picture just looks like it is something that should be on a trading card.
Congratulations again to all the entries. Everyone's hard work has really become one of my favorite things about the board.

The other piece that was very close behind was Scumdog's, I have really admired alot of his pieces lately. They are complex, yet easy to look at. Not sure if that makes sense, but what I mean is there isnt too much to the pieces, that koala BB he drew in the last one for example, is one of my favorites. This piece with buffalo man and Kinnikuman is just simply awesome! A lot of his pieces I noticed would look good on a T-shirt or something cause they arent overly detailed. I am in the process of making a shirt out of the claw piece he submitted for my contest, which I will post when I do finish. I think this piece would also make a fun T-shirt. I love it.
Great job everybody, I see improvements with each contest. I love these cotnests, they are really fun. Keep up the good work all.

Kinnikuman was pretty selfish and greedy many times in the Manga, so I like to think he was being a dork and tried to take Buffaloman's big wheel, and got socked in the eye for it.

i loved tortle's pic as well. i had a ton of army ants as a kid and he's been able to create what i believe the larva toys would look like if there was ever a line produced.
ericnilla's astounding ability to make life-like renderings with a pencil is what's so creepy. no human can be that good. someone check him for cybernetic implants. truly dr. moreau will be calling him for patent infringement.
reccoom kaboom will be getting a call when they start a new line of cards. that painting is production quality.
we all know what happens when you put two babies together, and theorgg hit it right on the head. one will start picking on the other in no time. great work.
i think liz's shows some great creativity. the kendaman stick and ball game is priceless.
every contest everyone who enters does such a great job. the voting gets tighter and tighter. i love these contests so much and truly feel they're almost as fun as finding a new toy line to burn through your money.....almost.

I also agree with everyone's assessments on these drawings...it's another one just like the Beastformers Reanimated contest, i absolutely love every one of them. I love a lot of things about this board, but the fan art challenges are downright amazing.

I was going to choose Tortle's drawing, but I was so confused that I ended up choosing Scummdog's instead.
I like Tortle's drawing too, it represents the possibility that Army Ants could begin making child soldiers fit for germ warfare and other things.
