WOW! I just knew I was in 9th place!!!! YUHUUU this is a great achievement for me. It is the first time I enter a contest of this kind. Thank you very, very much to people who vote me. Congratulation to the 101 (like the Dalmatians), and thank you Curtis for taking the time to promote this.

@Tynach you post just proves my point at how different everyone tastes are. I don't know its just my opinion but Laci piece was not my favorite visually I found it all too busy and incoherent. The use of colour was not quiet there for me. But all of these are very strong entries which is a good thing for Blender because it means the pool of talented artists is growing. This competition almost didn't happen but it seems that the strong community response has been enough for Curtis to commit for next year. Thumbs up to those that took part and completed.

I can't wait to see what the Blender World Cup and the Blending Life contest (if it comes back) bring to us. The are some seriously good artists out there and these competitions seem to bring them out. Incidently two of the people working on Durian are winners of both these comps, Blender World Cup (Zordan) and Blending Life (Angela)

My dream and hope is to one day see a blender artist take one of the huge comps such as domiance war, avatar or cgtalks challegenes

Tyrant monkey:

I disagree. All of them have that slight and not-quite-understandable quality that makes them, well, look like renders.

Laci has it too, but much less… The textures are highly detailed, and the model is so bizarre that it's believable.

I think the only thing Laci needs is a bit more beveling on the surroundings. That's all.

I am disappointed that Laci got last place. I've been busy with other things, and never got a chance to vote :(

My other favorite is Rey… That looks like a painting, it's so artfully and stylistically done! Absolutely beautiful!

I thought the Laci render had the best texturing of all of them, especially the environment. Coyhot's design would've been stellar with a driver and a sense of speed.

Overall I thought everyone had great designs.

Very nice entries! Kyle Dell'Aquilla is neat with the debris and fire, Uber's is sleek, and I would like to see a film done by Luis Roach! :D

Great competition. Thanx to Curtis and all participants. My favorite is the one from Ogee. What an infernal machine.
