I chose Liz's because it made me think of like, a little kid who loves m.u.s.c.l.e. and has tons of crayoned pictures on construction paper all over his/her room. It made me really wish I could finally knock my little lady up so we can have a little critter running around, drawing stuff and being cute.

I voted for the "Buffaloman is a Jerk" piece. I picked up the original, I liked it so much!

[SpectreSuperSix5]

I picked Tortle's. Those Army Ants are cool!

[mrjayberry]

Tortle congrats on a really awesome piece and great use of new mediums, but I went with "Baby Duggery" I promised myself I'd vote with slighty tweaked critera for this one and besides I've loved it the longest.

[doc_moore_j]

Veers sums it up pretty nicely. Like many of the previous contests, I am torn between a few of the entries. All pieces are wonderful. In the end, I went with Tortles piece for a few reasons. One thing I absolutely love about Tortle's work is that he changes it up every contest, where as some of the other members use the same equipment each and everytime. Which isnt a bad thing by any means, but I can really respect Tortle's variety that he has in his arsenal. effing construction paper???? That is awesome!!! Plus, although I pretty much only collect muscle and a couple other small lines, this is the LRG, not the Muscle or BB, so the fact that he threw in Army Ants as his concept vs the regular BB/Muscle was another reason I chose his piece.

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.

That's awesome!

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

I'm gonna have to vote for Scummy this time around, but I like to think of his picture in a different light.

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.

[dankingery]

i think i'm turning into scumdogg's biggest fan. he locked my vote for sure. his style and composition is totally awesome. the way he has crafted this scene is perfect. i think veers was right about the technical aspects of the drawing, although i think he may have meant perspective more than proportion (both were dead on though). you see the joy in buffaloman's face and the absolute sorrow in kinnikuman's. and i don't think he's happy because he's riding a trike as much as it is that he took it away from kinnikuman. you can easily confuse his cartoon style for simplicity, but as you examine the picture the complexity jumps out at you like a 3d stereogram.

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.

[Scumdogg]

Thanks so much for the kind words, guys. Dan, you and i should collaborate, i'd like to color one of your pieces sometime. The coloring is always my favorite part.

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.

[Reccoom Kaboom]

great entries all around. not as many as in former contests, but that has no bearing on the quality. I just hope the voter turnout equals or surpasses.

Tortle got my vote this time, cuz construction paper rocks!

[Scumdogg]

Tomorrow's the last day for voting everyone, i'll leave it up all day Thursday and close the poll as close to midnight (eastern time) as possible.

[jkaris]

Winner needs to contact me for their $10.

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

Talk about by a land slide.

[Ericnilla]

yeah i think scum won this one... good job man. =]

[dankingery]

a deserved victory. but, don't print the front page story just yet. there's prolly a few stragglers waiting to tip the scales one way or the other.

[Ericnilla]

yeah if i get 10 votes in a few hrs i have this thing...

[Scumdogg]

Well, it ran a little longer than i'd planned, but doesn't look like we got any post-midnight votes anyway. I guess that's a wrap on FAC 10, a big thanks to all the participants and voters!

[dankingery]

congrats brew. this one was yours from the beginning.

[Reccoom Kaboom]

I'll be sending yer patch tomorrow.

[Scumdogg]

I'll be sending yer patch tomorrow.

Ohhh yeah, the patch. Sweet. I was hoping i'd get one, then i completely forgot about it!

[Garatron75]

I like the drawing where Buffaloman gets his trike back from Kinnikuman. It personally struck me as memorable of how Kinnikuman was a rotten kid when he was young and how Buffaloman was a heroic kid who was able to get his things back from him.

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.

[dankingery]

uh.. garatron75 you do know that this contest has been over for a while, right? scumdogg already claimed the prize.

[Scumdogg]

Yesss, my victory is complete!!!
