Yay! ^^

We finally passed 100 votes

99 votes: just one more to 100

So who's gonna be the lucky 100th voter?

PixelCrash_While the concept isn't the most original and it can be a bit messy in places, I have to admit that the dynamic shading is nice. Also, all the dark grays in the palette are great for armor-wearing characters.

I totally agree with this, but the mouth is weird. And the face. The head is weird.

Here's some thoughts on Allergy's skin (I should have done this sooner, but better late then never I guess) :

4 more votes to 100! Keep them coming.

I hope you win Pixel. X3

Robots are my life. XD

JK...art is my life...but robots rock.

Wow, 85 votes and counting. This might pass 100 by the time the poll wraps up.

I like PixelCrashs a little bit more.

Lets tie it up or make Pixel win

C'mon allergy

I went with Allergy because he used the palette better, his shading looks much nicer and his lightsourcing is much more realistic.
Good luck to you both!

I prefer Allergy's because I feel like the palette is executed better,
plus that shading is great, I just feel like Pixel's simple shading does not match the shading at all.

Since the initial poll ended in a tie, the deadline has been extended until Wednesday. If you haven't already, vote now!

Allergy's had a lot more character to it, which is very important at a higher level of skinning. The change in colour tone is subtle, and works very well to give you an image of what the skin would look like if it were real.

Pixel's used the layers very well, and the technique is excellent, but it lacks character. The colours chosen are individually good, but when mixed together, they create a clean, bland feeling, opposed to the mellow and rusty taste of the grey and gold, which supports the atmosphere the theme is pushing.

While neither of these pass the 'I would use that' test, Allergy's character in his skin, and subtle change in colour tone, pushes it over the edge for me.

IDK...they're both really good, but I like Pixel's because it's a robot. X3

I just really like robots...IDK

Bump

It closer with every vote cast! Woo come on Pixel!!

The poll is scary. Keeps on changing.

not letting me vote??? but i'd pick the samurai because of how shiny the armour looks i guess. i like both though... sorry Pixel

I voted the samurai. It's much more detailed

A really hard choice, but I'm going to have to go with Pixel's, because of the overall effectiveness of the skin.

Pixel's didn't use the very dark blue shade in a way I disliked -insta vote <3

I'm gonna have to go with Pixel's. Sorry Allergy.

I'm leaning more towards Allergy's skin. Maybe its the shadowing. Or maybe because its a samurai. Hmmm :/

PixelCrash_'s looks cleaner, nicer and brighter to me... which I like more than darkness, sowwy Allergy, although you're is detailed I'm not too much of a fan of the style
