Group 1: A - I like like the colours and it seems much better quality

Group 2: A - Just wow... amazing, i love the colours and the effects applied to this image :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Group 3: A - Very tough choice but i prefer the colours and effects on A

Group 4: A - I don't really like either but the animation is dreadful

Sorry about the sketchy reasons but i dont have the graphic vocabulary or knowledge to go into more detail... i just picked which was more anasthetically pleasing and which in my eyes had more artistic merit

Group 1: B - both pieces were good, however i think the colours in A are too random and look more like fireworks than anything else.. I also like the blend of batman into the space behind it, colours really matched

Group 2: A - For me there was absolutely no competition here. A could well be the best piece I've seen in all 3 rounds so far.. The lighting is excellent and theres a lot of imagination involved. To be honest i didn't like B at all. It was too (shall we say) American for me. And it doesn't even look like space + it looks blurry..

Group 3: A - Both these were good but I thought B lacked creativety and imagination. When you hear the theme space you don't really expect to see just space.. i really liked the effects, lighting and colours used in A. I didn't understand the text or it might just look wrong in some way but it just didn't work with me

Group 4: A - I admired the imagination behind B but to be blunt i hated it. i don't really like animations so whoever the creator is, dont take it personally..I really liked A and the linking of the stars was really good

About the voting:

I believe the essence of the GGT is who can make the better graphic. While the character does play a part, I, personally, think that the voting should be done with more of an "unbiased" eye, looking for the better piece overall, rather than which character they like the best. I know I have no say in who you should be voting for, however, that is my personal belief; vote for the better piece rather than the better character or text.

Thanks for your time.

Group 1: A - Both are great, so I go with the Hitch-Hiker's Guide reference :-)
Group 2: A - touch choice here, cosmic feel vs conspiracy theory. Really really marginal choice, but had to choose one, right?
Group 3: B - Another tough choice. I went with simplicity, though the fireworks of the other are really cool (the gran+kid motif is emotively sophisticated but is just not my cup of tea - just personal preference)
Group 4: B. OK, I nearly called this one a draw! Great technique in both. Went with the second because it brings something different.

Nice work to both (or all?) artists involved, and best of luck!

Group 1: A - It goes with "space" much better than the other one
Group 2: A - It's amazing... enough said
Group 3: A - I just like it more.. idk
Group 4: B - Even though I don't really like how the animated sig came out (not a mistake)

Group 1 A – I really like the fact the artist made the background from scratch and the text is just perfect.
Group 2 A – I like this better than the second one, seems to fit the theme better.
Group 3 A – Wow just wow. This just made my day; the way the blending is done is great.
Group 4 B – The animation could be better but it seems to be a lot clearer than A sorry.

Group 1 - A
As a user of fractals myself I know how hard it is to work them into a piece without them looking out of place so hat's off to the creator. And it's Marvin, how could you turn him down.

Group 2 - A
Despite the child looking out of place the planets in the background more than make up for it. Also B looks a bit too "thrown together" as if the artist tried to rush it.

Group 3 - A
A much greater level of detail, shows an actual story.

Group 4 - A
I love astrology so this really touches my heart. Also the B entry looks like someone has tried to jump on the .gif bandwagon.

1a - was well done and very creative
2a - absolutely phenomenal - if you can shrink that dow into a sig I would buy it in a second!
3a - this one was much harder but, I really like the way they put it together.
4b - I think this was the most creative one. I applaud your imagination.

Group 3 - B: like the feeling of solitude
Group 4 - B: like the "work in progress".

Well, my reasons are 1.a - Captured the theme betterer ,2a looks better, 3a because b didn't look good at all to me, but a wasn't a real prize, 4a, I don't see how b fits at all, or has anything to do with space... doesn't look good either, guess they were trying to mimic the last animation, but didn't do near as good

Group 1. A. LOVE the background. Has much more to do with space than batman. I know someone told me about a small batman in space thing, but marvin has more to do with space as per the movie. Which takes place, in space. I love the irony of the happy awesome background with a character that is usually kind of depressed and morose sounding.

Group 2. A. Feeling the spacey feel to it more. The moon landing. Very big deal and mile stone in the space part of human history, and that is what this piece reminds me of. Really digging the oldschool kind of feel of the texture.

Group 3. A. First thoughts in my head when I saw this. "Oh. My. Effing. GOD." AMAZINGLY done, really digging the smooth texture and blend in this. The raw FEEL of this image just screams to me. Not to mention you can see how much work that really went into this piece. To be quite honest I find this piece moving in a way to me. Definitely the best graphic I have seen this whole contest. (Yes I could spend a while gushing over this) Despite the whole apocalypse going on hahaha. So much applause and kudos to whoever the amazing artist was of this graphic. In my mind anything else I see will pale in comparison.

Group 4. A. Love the smoothness of the graphic. Digging how the constellation lines up with the creature as well. I won't lie, I wasn't really feeling the animation. This piece was very well done, great for space as it took the astrology turn rather than the main direction you would think when you think space.
