bonesiii Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Welcome to the polls for the eighteenth General Art contest, and the first since GA became LEGO-in-general! The theme of this contest was Battlescapes -- to draw a battle of some kind, whether between two opponents or more, in a setting. Your job now is to choose the best artwork!Since there were only twelve entries total, I have decided not to split the contest into categories. There are two preliminary polls; the top three winning entries from each, or more if there are ties (depending) will move on to a final round, where three winners will be selected. Prizes will be gift cards for LEGO Shop@Home. Thumbnails link to medium size full images; please click each thumbnail to view those before voting. If you would like to learn more including artist comments, larger versions, or artist topic links, the entry titles below the thumbnails are links to the entry posts. Select the number in the above poll that corresponds to the entry you prefer in the randomized list below.Preliminary round begins now; ends at 11:59 PM EST Sunday June 17.Entries: [*] Battle in the Lightning Temple [*] Pirates of The Caribbean [*] Roodaka Vs. Toa Hagah [*] Not the Fish She Wants to See [*] LEGO® Wild West vs. Classic Space [*] Swarm of the Century Edited June 10, 2012 by bonesiii The Destiny of Bionicle (chronological retelling of Bionicle original series, 9 PDFs of 10 chapters each on Google Drive): Part 1 - Warring with Fate | Part 2 - Year of Change | Part 3 - The Exploration Trap | Part 4 - Rise of the Warlords | Part 5 - A Busy Matoran | Part 6 - The Dark Time | Part 7 - Proving Grounds | Part 8 - A Rude Awakening | Part 9 - The Battle of Giants My Bionicle Fanfiction (Google Drive folder, eventually planned to have PDFs of all of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa of Dancing Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Man, very tough decision between 3 and 6. Both were well drawn, and the latter was ponies, but in the end seemed just a bit too cluttered, even if it's supposed to be a battle. 3 still conveys the battle feel while being cleaner. Thus, I went with 3 in the end. Edited June 6, 2012 by Ballistic Jello Pickles This is a signature that describes me as a person.

Legolover-361 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I was split between Entry 3 and Entry 5. I finally voted for Entry 3. (( BZPRPG profiles: Kynaera, Nova )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Entry 3 got my vote, though I also thought entry 6 was good too. Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeko Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 As much as I love Swarm of the Century, #3 got my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mare Tranquillitatis Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Voted for 3, but I was unsure between this and 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I voted for my brother Aanchir's entry, #6. As much as I wanted to like #3 based on how many rave reviews I heard (including from Aanchir himself), I felt it suffered from issues with posing and composition. While #6 certainly has a lot going on, I like that each element of it is discernable, so that all six Toa in it can share the spotlight.

<Reverb> Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I voted for #4. It is just me or I thought it was hilarious?~Gravity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballom Nom Nom Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Voted for five. Three was well-drawn, but I had absolutely no idea what was going on, as the various characters seemed pretty poorly posed. For instance, I don't know what the figure on the right is doing, where their face is, or where their arms are.~B~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klak Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Tough choice, but ultimately it came down to 3 and 5 for me. I picked 3. Nice job to all the contestants, though. My Comedies: The Krika Show (Season 1)The Krika Show Season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
