·Toot Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Heh... I'd say the best out of the bunch are numbers 2 and 5. The problem with 2 is that stitch. Not sure if it's just me, but I don't find that too appealing. :P Gotta go with 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I really like 3, all of these are dope as... except one... in any case the smudging and nice colours really hit it for me. 3 gmv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 5 and 7 have cool concepts, but I really like 6 for better execution. Stark duotone, well executed blending with the faces, and just enough texture. Much more like minimalist illustration, rather than a tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman25 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 GUYS GUESS WHICH ONE'S MINE and effing hustlers always steppin' up the game come sotw. But really, some cool stuff here. I really like #8. It's simple yet pretty appealing, and executed very cleanly, uses bubbles nicely for depth and has some nice colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stark duotone, well executed blending with the faces, and just enough texture. Much more like minimalist illustration, rather than a tag. I would like to love 6. It's simple and simplicity is bliss. Didn't choose it because its a bit choppy in quite a few places. Kinda suckish imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 7 for me. I just love the style, colors and incorporation of older art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 8 gmv, flow is dope and the colors work well, lighting and depth could have been better but they do enough to help rather than hurt the piece. If I had to pick a second it would be 3 if only for the highlights, doesn't get the vote since a lot more could have been done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairman ali Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 8, easily wins this one. 2, 3 and 6 are good too. Good job, you guys are improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madsen Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 7 gmv, seems like the best overall execution; composition is really good and you realize how intricate it is from looking at it more, looks so effortless until you realize what's what. toss up between that and 3, but voted for 7 in the end edit: btw can i note how dope all this shit is, i'm honestly surprised at how much progress i've missed, gj people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I was looking at 3 for a moment, but then I looked at 1 again and I really admired the fractals as well as the complimenting colors. 1 gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smear Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 #8 GMVI really like 5, 6 and 8, but 8 just has some sick sh*t happening all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ire Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 voted for #8 pretty well done (except this useless white 'logo')... Tormy's one ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Nah mine was a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astolfo Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 hot damn these are all great I really like 3, cause I just have a thing about smudges, but 8 is so nice too, and I think I know who made that one, but that's not related. But I just really love number 3, and yes, the blackness is a bit empty for my tastes, but I just love smudges, and the blending of the render seems nice (I think?)

Night Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 And the winner is piece #7 done by Ali, 2nd place goes to Madsen with piece #8, and 3rd place goes to Smear with piece #1. Major thanks to everyone who participated whether it be through submission or voting, it's always appreciated. Sotw #11 starts tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
