Recoom i sent you a PM but my pic isnt loading completely (about 50%). Ive had that happen a few times in the past on this board (Battle Beast maps & gormiti documents) so im sure its a matter of resizing.

In the mean time:

Ill take this down as soon as you give me the word .

Edit: Gone. Thanks Recoom ;)

Divide & conquer works because of attachments people make to push-button issues, individual "leaders," parties, clans, tribes, policies, or agendas, leaving them open to manipulation.

this is hard hard hard. I don't even feel like i should be judging any of this work becuase it is all awesome!! I just could not come close to being able to recreate such nice pieces of work.

In the end though i ended up voting for.......... Spy Magicians' Steelback! Steelback is one of my favourite Gormiti, especially the black varient he used in this custom.

Although it was ever so close as Articulationut seems to have included a Macho Man Randy Savage!!!! ''Ohhhh Yeeeah!!''

damn hard to choose. they were all so creative in execution. if i had to choose which figure i liked appearance wise, it would be a toss up betwixt blitzwulf's steelbat and spymagician's steelback. if i had to choose between the entries that i think the artist focused mostly on creating the articulation themselves and making it work well and look good it'd be a cage match between articulationnut's chougin championship and any and all of reccoom's entries. having never customized anything i'm no expert, but i think i'm going to have to go with reccoom's mimic. it's been a favorite of mine from the beginning. it looks nearly as nice as the steelback spymagician did but he also created the articulation joints from airsoft pellets and various other pieces. he never ceaces to amaze me with his creativity and absolute dedication to these contests. i envy his work ethic and creativity.

great work everyone!

You might shout that it is easier to see the pics now, I couldn't get a good close up view before so I just voted.

I voted for SpyMagicians custom, although Terrymans eyes almost got a vote because I enjoy a good chuckle so thank you for that reccoom.

Yet again, another great contest, that I'm sad I didn't enter. Great figs all around. but Reccoom's Parthenon and Terry get my vote easily. I'm a sucker for Muscles, but I love terry's eyes, and I love how you didn't limit Parthenon to his standard muscle size, and went more into his accurate size by doubling his build. Terry looks SICK holding up Parthenon! Great work and Great figs!

The others were good too, but Gormiti doesn't do much for me, and since they are all prepainted it sort of limits, and tends to exceed the true creativity you would have otherwise needed to put into the figures yourself. But they are still cool customs with nice joints.
