hmm Marko is in trounble.

**Stokes** · August 7th, 2005, 03:54 PM

marko that piece is damn nice. I guess your the man for a reason. Id love to see more painted pieces like this in the future.

**hurricane** · August 7th, 2005, 03:54 PM

sweet entries !!

Good luck to all the contenders !!

**Torgovix** · August 7th, 2005, 04:03 PM

Marko's is awesome but Salahs is pretty rockin too. Probably the best two in this thread.

**0kelvin** · August 7th, 2005, 04:22 PM

Fozzybar: Love it! Hilarious!

Tully: Very cool as well! Great work!

**al-x** · August 7th, 2005, 04:22 PM

Nice work lukavi.

A lot of other nice entries here too. Will be sad to see either Marko or Saleh leave the challenge after this round.

**Aly Fell** · August 7th, 2005, 04:31 PM

Wow... Marko and Salah is gonna be interesting. Fozzy... brilliant! Demon piss! This page is close in all the matches... Tully - scary...

**MoP** · August 7th, 2005, 04:38 PM

Nice! Another huge batch of digital goodness.

My favourites from this set are the pieces from Marko Djurdjevic, Tully, tagHeuer, Fozzybar, fungi and Rinaldo.

Marko: Love this one, the faces/neck area and the light shining through the holes in the wings is really awesome. I reckon you could maybe have pushed the blue light from below a little brighter to give the torso more depth, but that's a really minor crit. Oh, and you're disqualified for not reading the rules and making the image too big (like too many other people!)

Tully: Shame SteveO didn't submit, I guess a bit annoying to put so much effort into a piece and then win by default, but at least you have another great image for your portfolio!

Fozzybar: Hehe, really made me laugh - nice take on this theme

Fungi: The sharpness, style, ideas and colours in your images always impress me. Another great piece here!

blog: Couldn't you have cropped off the white space to the right of your image?

**tagHeuer** · August 7th, 2005, 04:39 PM

FlipMcGee; cool work, the guy about to get bit by the snake is funny.

Fungi and Rinaldo had my favorite entries for this page.

**Shinryu** · August 7th, 2005, 05:05 PM

Some awesome stuff in here, salah vs Marko is another excellent battle

-shin

**StrangeAlchemist** · August 7th, 2005, 05:14 PM

Damn, Marko.

**maxetormer** · August 7th, 2005, 05:15 PM

Marko Djurdjevic: Indeed your are the man! I would love too
see more color work form you, excelent use of dinamic light

fungi: he he thats one hell of a tick, I wouldnt wanna
be the one that fells his daemonish sting

Fozzybar: he he IMO its the second funiest thing I have
seen on the TD, that little creature of hell is gonna need sum
titanium huggies to stop those sulfur acid incontinence problems,
poor little teddy

**Smitherines** · August 7th, 2005, 06:16 PM

Nice work by everyone, a lot of close fights. Best of luck all.

I agree, Marko I like yours a lot, but salah delivered like fuck with this one. Salah yours is seriously nice, I feel like hugging that bastard. There are some scribbly parts that I dont like as much, but thats just me. This is one serious battle. I think many people thought this was going to be a David vs Goliath match and that Marko had this thing won before starting, but that is one freaking heavy entry.

Time to get back to browsing like mad.

**Marko Djurdjevic** · August 7th, 2005, 06:19 PM

Great work salah, you've really pushed hard on your entry.

Cheers
M

**xia** · August 7th, 2005, 06:24 PM

Salah & Marko! Fuck I love them both.
Fungi...you never cease to amaze me over and over

RedAlert>> This is by far one of your better ones, good job bro!

Rinaldo>> I really fucking love it!

strych9ine>> great job on the entry and thanks for managing all this fucking madness and make it all happening. CHEERS!

Great entries every one.

**clogik** · August 7th, 2005, 06:25 PM

marko and salah: damn sweet stuff.
rinaldo: one of my favs!

fungi: dig it!

cheers to all!

**prostate sunrise** · August 7th, 2005, 06:49 PM

marko vs salah = too sweet, fozzybar, fungi, rinaldo, 9ine, awesome work fellahs.

**Tully** · August 7th, 2005, 06:53 PM

Well, sh*t. I wanted some competition! This just sucks all the fun out of it.

Phenomenal pieces submitted here, though! Two big thumbs up from me for Strych9ine.

**Chris J. Anderson!** · August 7th, 2005, 06:57 PM

HAHAHA, Fozzybar thats classic. Marko, good stuff. Fungi, R'john, Rinaldo, etc, there's a lot of good stuff in here.

**Eriboss** · August 7th, 2005, 07:25 PM

**salah** · August 7th, 2005, 07:31 PM

Marko, as usual your piece is just friken siiiiick!!! it's true dude, I've always loved your line work and pencil renderings and to see it come to life in a painting is just awesome. That Demon is a mean mo fo!!! Props man.

**thirdeye** · August 7th, 2005, 07:32 PM

Fungi's piece is nice.

Marko's is my fav in here.

Salah's is also great.

**redehlert** · August 7th, 2005, 08:12 PM

Nice job Salah and Marko...
turned out to be a closer match than I had thought

Lukavi, that character is great...reminds me of my old landlord...heh

**Rusty** · August 7th, 2005, 08:18 PM

well,only you can pull off such a radical design Marko,awesome concept and composition,you sure know your stuff!..

fungi,youve got the strongest painting skills here,i dunno how you do it man.

strych9ine i love the dreamy feel to this one.

Rinaldo even from a roughly done piece i can tell you got skills,definatly gonna look out for more of your work.

welldone all..

..jace

**trev** · August 7th, 2005, 08:39 PM

marko and salah - now that is going to be a tough call! Everyone else - good stuff

Ill do crits tomorro when Ive fully recovered. Went out drinking, got back at one am, then worked through untill 8 to finnish - well just about, bits of it are blatently rushed, my own fault for deciding to have a social life!

well maybe one crit...

smitheriens - I kinda like this demon dude, perhaps some sharper edges on the outline and highlights/shade would help make this guy look more solid and a little more dramatic since the shading is quite soft. I think the colours are nice and i like the anatomy of the upper torso - the legs Im less keen on. I can't make up my mind on the background - perhaps if it were darker and the pentogram symbol was glowing red and casting a backlight on the figure it would look cool? Just saying what comes to mind

I have agree too, especially for someone whom did it so late in the game. Hats off.

Marko and Salah, you guys both pulled off some nice stuff. Both very different in design but both good works.

**Helzon** · August 7th, 2005, 09:03 PM

Great googly moogly! My hat's off to all of you that busted your humps and got your entries in!

Don't think I have to say much more about the marko v salah matchup that hasn't already been said, but a few words come to mind Holy and shit!, God and Damn! etc...

Lukavi-as always fine work! I'm still going to haunt you for tut in the COW forums...

Fungi-do I have to tell you about your rendering skills that any of a million people haven't told you before? But what the hell can't hurt anything...they are phenomenal. Outstanding work!
Redehlert: What a quantum leap!...This piece is just chock full of little things that keep the eye moving around. Love the shirt as well...gonna have to tell my how you got that on there...
Fozz: Got the great humor going on in that one...I like the simplicity and the rendering...excellent job man.
Again...wonderful pieces all around...cheers to you all!
