I'll edit this to give my vote as soon as I have decided who are my nominees. Tough competition indeed.


EDIT:

Ok, after brwosing all albums ang giving comments to everyone, here is my vote (no particular classification system or else, and really, many others were pretty close)


- Servant of Nature

- Darth Shizz

- Hanik Arran

- Dennis Carpenter

Alright, since you are pulling your group out of the contest I need to find the 5. group for my nomination. And I thought I was finally finished. Image IPB

Alright, here goes nothing. ;-)

But first I need to complain! Why did all of you come up with such amazing groups here? Do you have any idea how long it took me to finally come up with 5 favorites? O.o

I didn't create my own rating system but used the one Mesecina presented, as I felt that this was the best way of determining the best groups provided here by all contestants. :-)
After I browsed the galleries, I narrowed it down to those I found the most interesting and started rating away. So here is my vote.

I am really sorry about the loads of runner ups, but I just couldn't narrow it down any more. There were simply too many characters in the competition I really liked.


Best looking human male:
daem3an - Still the most awesome human male around here. This one is particularly great , because he just looks that real to me. Certainly no beauty (not looking bad either) but what I really like about this guy is that he has so much personality.
Runner ups: vyvexthorne, DalishRanger, Servant of Nature, Starwind99, Riot Inducer, Dennis Carpenter, Mesecina (could have been at the top if it were not for daem3an :-) , Aris Ravenstar, Purple Lady, Anacronian Stryx, Linarc, Irkesque, DalishRanger (great job with this one, daem3an's is just a tad better imo), kreugan, Bebbe777, valleyman88

Best looking human female:
Purple Lady - I truly love how you captured the slight gothic look of Aeris without overdoing it. She had to struggle with some keen competition from Aris Ravenstar and Anacronian Stryx but she pulled through in the end. She has the most seducing looks of all females in the competition imho.
Runner ups: Riot Inducer, Novasurge, Johnny Jaded, Dennis Carpenter, daem3an, Mesecina, Aris Ravenstar, Aris Ravenstar (nearly landet at the top spot), Trillian-N7, Mesecina, Anacronian Stryx (close to the top spot but was defeated by Purple's character's killer looks), DalishRanger (great job on the celtic look of this beautiful girl, I should visit Ireland soon ;P ), kreugan (again such a close call! a bold choice of a haircut their. There are few females who actually look good with a bald head and this one definitely does!) , Evalee

Best looking elf male:
DalishRanger - Way above the competition! Well, valleyman88's elf came close, but nothing beats your dalish elf. This guy is so freaking amazing! Unique, handsome, charismatic, feral and with his native looks he immediately captured my heart. I'd certainly would want this guy to join my party. Awesome job!
Runnerups: Aris Ravenstar, Ekas, Purple Lady, kreugan, Wynne (love the exotic look with that tattoo), Bebbe777, valleyman88 (this one was so close to being at the top position...but DalishRanger's elf was just more to my tastes ;-) , kreugan

Best looking elf female: Mesecina - There is something unique about your female elf. I kinda fell in love with the way she looks in the first picture. That lovely, candid face and the way you created her mouth. Also, the red hair and the elegant haircut suits her perfectly.
Runner ups: Riot Inducer, Johnny Jaded, Aris Ravenstar (a very close call between you and Mesecina), Purple Lady, Anacronian Stryx, DalishRanger (close to the top), kreugan, Evalee (quite interesting look here)

Best looking dwarf male:
Johnny Jaded - this one has the seriously most dwarvish look of them all. I seriously would like to have a beaker of ale with this guy. Just need to make sure I don't accidently drink from his beaker. He looks like a dwarf that would rough anyone who would do so up pretty good.
Runner ups: Mistress9nine, daem3an, Mesecina, Purple Lady, Fulgrim88, Linarc, DalishRanger, Bebbe777, valleyman88

Best looking dwarf female:
DalishRanger- Just beautiful. Love how she is that pretty without looking too innocent and with a certain charm about her. Great job on the hair and the subtle choice regarding the tattoo.
Runner up: Riot Inducer, Trillian-N7, Purple Lady (very close to the top and imo the most extravagante looking dwarf female I have seen so far), Anacronian Stryx , Johnny Jaded (love the irritaded looks of her), Evalee, Bebbe777


Top 5:

Purple Lady - I just love your human female! She looks outstanding. There are no weak characters in your group and you achieved a quite unique look for everybody, except for your male dwarf perhaps but it's almost impossible to make a unique one without him looking weird. I found your dwarf female especially outstanding with her gothic looks. Also your human and elf males came out great. The look on Talorns face is just great there. :-)

Aris Ravenstar - Though your characters didn't make it to my top choices there were three that came incredibly close. Also you succeeded in giving your elves and humans loads of character, and also in giving them just the right feeling for each one's class and background without them being stereotypical. Your dwarves are fine but a bit too generic for my taste.

DalishRanger - Two of your characters made it to the top and two others were not far from it. Your dalish elf is simply a piece of art and the human and dwarf female are simply stunning with that celtic style. Also your human mage came out great. I can't find anything to critizise about any of your characters. ;-) 

Mesecina - It was a tough choice but I decided on your group for my top 5, because 1. I totally fell in love with your female elf (I totally would love to know the slidersettings for her :-) , 2. because your human male looks the most badass of all the characters I have seen in this competition and 3. because your group has the right feeling to them. Great job!

Kreugan: I just had to make a really tough choice between you and Riot Inducer and I simply couldn't decide between the two groups because both were truly outstanding. So I asked myself which group I'd rather join to go adventuring. And I decided that it would be your party. Your female human is top of the notch and nearly made it among my favs. Your female elf looks really beautiful. But what I especially liked about your group  is that they complement each other so nicely. We got the mysterious human mage, the brave leader (which as I would imagine is your human male), the clever and sarcastic elven mage, the female love interest (dalish elf) of the groups leader and so on. The only thing I don't like that much is your female dwarf. The first time I saw her I thought: "What face did Kreugan use to create that male dwarf there?" Well, then again, she does look quite unique which is a good thing. ;-)


Those were the ones that barely missed being among the top 5: Riot Inducer, Johnny Jaded, dae3am, valleyman88, Bebe777


Anacronian Stryx would have made it among my top 5 but as he withdrew from the contest I am going to post what I would have written:

Anacronian Stryx - Mariko was scarcely defeated by Purple's Aeria but she is truly beautiful with a great job on her face. She just looks a bit too fragile imo which is why she didn't make the top spot. Except for your male elf, who looks a bit as if he has a fleeting chin your characters are all outstanding. May be the most well rounded looking group of all.


Great job everyone! :-)

this is my repost of my original vote.

Well here goes and my head hurts from trying to decide...the difference between 1 and 5 is less then 1point, I used my own point system and rated each pic on a 1to10 then totaled the points and actually I had to go back and review three because they had tied. that way I was sure of rating the entire album as a whole and not just a few individual good pics.

Now I have 8 albums here! three of them will miss my top 5, but after seeing all, a lot of great albums won't make my top 5!



My top five in no particular order:

Purple Lady

Johnny Jaded

Hanik Arran

Riot Inducer

Bebbe777

Almost there: Dennis Carpenter, rodelbjerg, starwind 99.



And I think Anacronian Stryx should compete as well. I haven't paid attention to his characters, but he is the one who will do the vote count, it's not like he will choose the winners nor vote in himself.

What is it about the dwarf females? Why are they so incredibly cute? I'm talking to you Dezdemona, Lyztiana, Riot Inducer's Helena and Saurel's nameless beauty... the list goes on...

Anyway.

All of my comments from the previous thread still stand. It's unfortunate my top 5 has to be edited due to a technicality, however still some amazing work on all counts. The updated results are below:

In my opinion, these people (still) all succeeded in creating the best and most interesting teams of 6:
Riot Inducer, Mesecina, Johnny Jaded, Bebbe777, Malanek99, Dennis Carpenter, Eremic, Saurel, Vyvexthorne, rodlbjerg, DalishRanger, Critical Miss, Aris Ravenstar, Quanziz, Hannik Arran

---------

From the group above, my final 5 were picked based on

INDIVIDUALITY - 'It is not a "pretty" contests but more of an "whos got the best group of individuals" kind of contest.'
PERSONALITY - faces and expressions that feel 'real' to me
'TEAM' FACTOR - I could imagine these 6 travelling and fighting side by side in a novel or a movie
EXECUTION - presentation, quality, overall gut feeling
RULES - enough said

In no particular order (and slightly edited from the previous thread):

vyvexthorne: These characters are all dripping with personality. Easily the best presentation of the bunch. I'm captivated by Lyztiana, and I have to mention Vermir here as well, as one of the more interesting dwarf males I've seen. Bravo.

Riot Inducer: Helena is one of the finest dwarf characters I've seen yet. I imagine she's the leader of this hardened bunch of scrappers. They fight hard and party even harder afterwards. Torm is also one of the most interesting male human nobles I've seen, and fits in well with my impression of Ferelden as a semi-barbarian culture.

Saurel: Yet another outstanding dwarf female (I'm developing a fetish). Each of these faces captured a subtle personality that I was attracted to. The human noble looks like he's staring at a dungeon full of darkspawn and thinking "are we seriously going in there? Seriously?"

DalishRanger: Gwen is still one of my favourite overall characters from the competition. Something about her seems eerily 'real' to me. Somehow you've captured a unique mood that makes them stand out. As a group they're all extremely well done and seem to fit together perfectly. Nice job!

Aris Ravenstar: Beautiful. Aparently everyone in Aris's Thedas is a supermodel with incredible bone structure and unflappable confidence. While I am always drawn to more unusual-looking characters, it's impossible to ignore just how well made every single one of these are. Top notch.

Once again, brilliant work everyone! (phew, that wasn't any easier the second time)

I agree, as long as it's a poll there's no reason Anacronian should withdraw himself, but he believes it's a sense of fairness and I respect him for that

@Hanik Arran - wow! Thanks for the awesome feedback, best comment I could've gotten I think. You really nailed the "team" dynamics I was going for. Also your comment on the female dwarf made me laugh, haha - I like to think she's the male dwarf's hardcore and grumpy mother, lol. But anyway on to the votes, had to change it a bit due to rule clarification!

1) Aris RavenStar
2) Hanik Arran
3) Vyvexthorne
4) Purple Lady
5) DalishRangerImage IPBImage IPB

I just wanted to say a big thanks to Anacronian Stryx for this idea. I only had 2 characters before the Challenge thread started, this gave me a reason to try out a few more and now I'm pretty much addicted to the CC. I can't wait for the full toolset to try out some more things.

(@DalishRanger - hope you feel better soon.:()

No kidding! I was amazed how expressive many of the dwarven characters were, I think a disproportionate number of my favorites were dwarven females.

But my top 5 come down to:
daem3an
DalishRanger
Aris Ravenstar
Mesecina
Riot Inducer


So awesome, you guys. There were some seriously close runner ups, too... Most notably Johnny Jaded your Dwarf Noble is remarkable, and daem3an's Human Mage may be one of the single best characters of anyone's.


In closing, I'd like to show my appreciation for all these groups with a moment of silence.


:o
Stunned silence....
