First time voting for these, I hope I won't offend anyone. :\

Group 1: A - Seems to fit the topic area better.
Group 2: A - Seems more elaborate compared to B.
Group 3: A - Destruction of Earth, very morbid, and that's what I like about it.
Group 4: B - The animation looks great.

group1: A - it just looks more sparkly and clean, i like that.
group2: A - it reminds me of when i was a kid, i had a model rocket just like that.
group3: A - i am loving this image, the whole "passing of time" feel about it with the old and young people.
group4: A - i don't really feel for either image, but the animation on the second one is horrendous, so the first one wins because it's not annoying.

group3 was hard to decide, both images are pwnsome. do you put who did what images in the results? i'd rather like to get those two as sigs...

Group 1: A - I love the colours and effects.
Group 2: A - I like the atmosphere. Though the lighting effects are a bit strong.
Group 3: A - It's a tough choice, but this one has more 'feeling'.
Group 4: A - I just like fantasy creatures.

:D

Group 1 A - It is more on theme.
Group 2 A - I like the way the colors work
Group 3 B - It seems more on theme, entry A needs more color and detail to convince me it is being watched from space.
Group 4 A - I liked the Constellation, it was more on theme.

Wow, this is really starting to become stiff competition. With such varying styles you can really tell them apart and almost tell who did what. I will try my best to focus on just the piece and be as unbiased as possible, here it goes:

Group 1
A: This one is a great piece and th quote was purely epic, but to be honest it didn't really give the WOW factor I was looking for with space. All it appears as is stars with a space dude in front. It is a good piece but a little less than I was expecting in this round of the competition.
B: One of my favorite pieces so far. I love the text and the way it fades from light to dark. The only thing that bugged me about this piece was the patches of purple around the guys head and the one giant dot in the upper right corner.

Overall: B it seems much more well done and the colors in the piece are more consistent and seem less random than A.


Group 2
A: I like this piece, I like it a lot. The only problem I see is that the child seems to be oversharpened and the plants in the front seem blurred to much. Other than that it is epic. Especially the smoky light and the epic text.
B. I love the theme but the piece made from it seems almost rushed. The space guys are just sort of... there. The background could use some sharpening and I know it was supposed to resemble an old photo but the brightness of color on the U.S. flag, the astronaut, and the aliens sort of killed that from the beginning. Overall it is good but not great.

Overall: A The lighting and the theme are great. The text is perfectly done and the colors are captivating.


Group 3
A: I like it because of the intense lighting and the feel you you get from it. The text bugs me though. Not sure why but it doesn't seem right. Also the smudging on the bottom to the right of the 3011 on the little control box thing is bugging me. Might be going for heat haziness but only having it on one part of the piece doesn't really work.
B: What can I say except that it is purely epic. A piece doesn't have to be gigantic to really look amazing. The blending is amazing and the text is perfect. I really can't find anything wrong with this piece no matter how hard I look.

Overall: B It is amazingly well done and although it is small in size it doesn't matter when it looks that damn good.


Group 4:
A: This piece is really nice but would be better if the lighting wasn't so bright. Also the text doesn't stick out enough. Although most attention should be on the focal it should be relatively simple to find text. Overall though I like the concept and the way it came together. Could just use some work.
B: Well what can I say. This piece is nice in the fact that it is different. Few artists take the initiative to make animated pieces because of how hard they are. But honestly this one doesn't seem very well done. It would have been okay but the woman at the end kills it because she looks so much different than the background. Also the end picture is really fuzzy.

Overall: A It could use some work but it looks really nice and the concept is just amazing. It is really creative and the constellation is accurate.


Good luck to all the artists!

Group 1
B, it just looks like a better piece to me... nice blending and the text fits really nice with the piece


Group 2
A, loved how you made the planets look like they were truly in space. Also like the text in this


Group 3
B, very nice job making the planets look real. It actually looks like something you would see if you had a powerful telescope. Awesome blending

group 4
A, love how you added the constellation into it. At first glance i didnt even notice it. It's awesome :) The smudging is excellent and the over all feel of it is great.. nice job.

Group 1: A - love the Hitchhiker's Guide references.
Group 2: A - although I dislike the character sitting I still feel this is better than B.
Group 3: A - B is too small and although the text on A could be better I like the overall composition.
Group 4: A - by default unfortunately. B is far, far too busy for my tastes so A wins despite not being great.

A grades all around from me it seems.

WOW! There are some amazing pieces here. And a lot of these votes are based on preference rather than a lack of talent on the artists part.

Group 1 - A. I am a fan of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The book says 42 is the answer... But my interpretation of the artist's text shows the true answer... A and U or Alpha and Omega!

Group 2 - A. OH WOW! I don't know where to start... so many elements about this just scream AMAZING! The way the 4 planets all interact with each other. I am also a fan of The Little Prince... again, WOW!

Group 3 - A. This one was REALLY hard! :( I wish I could vote for both. I went with "A" because I like the creativity of the artist. They saw a picture that wasn't there. Quality work for both items!
Note: I think the links for the stocks for B are incorrect.

Group 4 - A. As much as the animation impresses me, I have to vote for A. The blending of reality with fantasy is amazing. The work is clean and the alignment of the stocks is well done!

If I win an auction, please notify me in-game

I believe these stocks would be correct. It looks like the textures have been used to create the planets and that 3b was actually made mostly from scratch.... just used textures etc. Impressive I think.
