I feel like Goldilocks voting in this.

 

#3 is a little too dark.

#2 is a little to bright.

but #1 feels juuuuust right

It that my boi Itachi?

Looks like Ezio or Altair, or someone else, from the Assassin's Creed series.

It that my boi Itachi?

It has a tsukuyomi vibe to it, but no that looks more like one of the Assassin's Creed main characters doing a leap of faith.

I just wrote out a long ass paragraph, the page reloaded and it got deleted, thanks life.

Anyway, 

too long cant be bothered to write in detail again: 2 has better direction and focus despite being slightly too bright (not helped by the fact that the brightness feels completely flat, matt and unpolished), in my opinion it does fall down slightly as all the chaos is behind their head in terms of colours which draws my eye from the back to his face and then to the darkness and his face isnt angled right for that BUT it does somewhat work nonetheless and i feel as though it portrays a better artistic choice of courage than the quite generic poppy and moody first picture (which actually has better execution but less direction in my opinion).

The winner is Catman with Piece 2 and Runner-up by a very close margin was 25, I was third place.

 

Congratulations Catman and thank you all for voting!
