Match One: If you don't vote for Alex, you're fucking retarded. That is just amazing, Alex. Match Two I'd vote for SPZ out of originality and such if not for the poor shading. Looks very dirty and doesn't show depth in the manner it should. AC, it's solid, not overly special, but it's not bad. Thus, I vote for AC. Match Three: Both are great micros. Vaendin, that Meta Knight is very original, and is well shaded. AVCore, awesome Lesnar, the shading is good and the resemblance is there. However, Vaendin gets it for me based on depth, creativity and detail. Match Four: Gav, not bad. Could be blended/AA'ed a bit more, but I guess that's your style. Masson, holy fuck, that is just amazing. I have nothing bad to say about that, so I am voting for Masson. Match Five: Neither are great, neither are bad. Dave, well detailed and the anti-aliasing is great. NG, sweet Pikachu, however it's kinda bland, so my suggestion would have been some electrobolts of whatever to spice it up. Out of sheer detail, my vote goes to Corpse Army. Match Six: I vote for Haasamaniac who didn't even hand in because Dragonburger's looks like complete and utter shit.

Match One: Diablo, really nice micro from Starcraft. Very original, the proportions are awesome and the pose is very good. The armor could use a little more value in the shadows as they don't look too much like metal right now. Alex's micro is amazing. Beautiful work in the ab area especially and in showing the muscle and the bone coming out from the skin. Beautiful detail. The only thing I don't like is the smile which isn't because of execution but because of my opinion. I think it would've looked more dramatic if you had made the mouth open up like this. That and the shoulders could use some more blood. This match goes to Alex. Match Two: Really nice shading AC, however the micro is kind of boring because there's just not that much to look at. My only critique is the gun. I could be totally wrong about what this is or how it's supposed to look, but the way he's holding it makes it look like it's made of rubber and flopping out of his hand because of the extra pixels beside his hand and the curve as travel down the gun. Spz, very impressive lining work! However your shading brings down the entire micro. The only part of the shading that looks good is the torso and arms. I don't even know how to give you any advice to fix it. There's too much shading in certain places and not enough in others. The symbol on the chest needs some major AA. This match goes to AC. Match Three: Good work AVCore. Good luck! Match Four: Gavscsa, cool football micro! The face looks good, but some of the shading on the uniform looks pillowy. Could use some more AA. Masson, awesome Gandalf! I have no critique. This one goes to Masson. Match Five: Really nice micro Dave. The shading toward the bottom looks a little off, especially in the kneepads and boots. i also wish there was some kind of bend in the mechanical arm to make it look more realistic. Next Generation, we made micros from the same video game! Cool! The proportions on Pikachu are a little off, especially in the head, ears and the placement of the feet. There's also too much contrast between the lightest shade of yellow and the rest of the shades of yellow. I have to vote for Dave. Match Six: Awesome work DB! One of your best. No critique.

Good luck Dean
Match One
AC: solid shading in the clothes, the face looks like him as well. The shaping of the gun is a little odd at the front
Spz: Pretty good shaping but the shading looks blocky and random in some parts.
Vote: AC
Match Two
Vaendin: Very cool and unique entry. Like i said before, i like the shading on the faceplate a lot and the cape shading fits the cartoony style perfectly.
ACCore: Resemblance isn't bad but I think his face looks a tad bit thin. The tattoo is very well done and i like the shorts' shading
Vote: Veandin
Match Three
Gav: Nice detail in the jersey and helmet. Some of the anti-aliasing could be a bit more visible in some areas, try using darker shades near the black outlines so that they transition into the lighter ones and give it a smoother appearance.
Masson: Very well executed pose. The micro has a great flow to it. Shading is good throughout, especially the beard.
Vote: Masson
Match Four
Corpse Army: Turned out pretty well, the robotic arm looks good, as does the attire
Next Gen: The face is really well done, captures the style of the cartoon very well but it doesn't really translate into a very interesting micro, shading and detail-wise :/
Vote: Corpse Army
Match Five
Dragonburger: Really impressed with how this turned out. The detail in the helmet is awesome and the scarred-up skin looks fantastic. Shaping and shading on the knife is also really well made

Match One: Both of these micros are freaking EPIC! Diablo: love all the detail & linework on this, not familiar with the character, but nevertheless it makes for an EPIC micro! Brilliant shading all around...the only real CC I'd give is for the flames to be better blended into the sword. And if this is what you completed in only 24 hours...I'd be scared to see what you'd be able to make in a weeks time! Alex: Now where too start...HOLY SHIT THAT'S EPIC! The line-work is amazing on his body, the shading, godly as usual, love the flesh wounds throughout...really went all out on this one with all the details! All the veins & random spots of blood really make this micro very realistic & brilliant. The face is utterly frightening as well.. Vote: Alex Match Two: Both are alright micros, one is better then the other. AC: Not familiar with this character, but it is not a bad micro at all. I like the face & shading too Not too much CC on this one! But it is a rather average micro overall Spz: As much as I love those li'l green guys, I feel that the shading on this micro is poor, line work is a bit rigid & needs to be more AA'd. I see all 3 deadly sins of shading in this micro as well, but I like the originality! Vote:AC Match Three: Vaendin: I really love the original idea of doing meta-knight! not sure if I've ever seen him done before but this truly takes the cake! Love the expert shading, giving great depth to the mask & the line-work is fantastic! Brilliant work, don't have much CC other than it looking too EPIC! AVCore: Not the biggest fan of this style, it makes the arms & legs look a bit stiff...but nevertheless, the shading looks great giving it a realistic touch! You nailed the facial features, & Tattoo looks great, but overall it doesn't stand up to Meta-knight Vote:Vaendin Match Four:Gav: Its a nice looking micro, I like the shading & how the helmet turned out! Being a Clevelander, I'm a bit biased on this XD Masson: EPIC love the beard & hair, & facial expression, & pose, & shading, & linework! Really gives off the sorcerer effect XD Its as if I hear him yelling "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" just by looking at it. Love the hair & beard shading the most! No real CC for this one Vote:Masson Match Five: I'd honestly say both micros are impressive! Dave: Now I'm positive you held back from your Boris micro XD, because this is a very nice micro! I like the shading on his arm, pants, & hair! the arm has some good line-work! only CC is that I feel the knee pad shading takes away from the micro, it looks like two rocks strapped to his legs, though I'm not too familiar with this character to critique the arm or anything..so great work! Next Gen: I feel you played it a bit safe, doing a simpler micro...well hey you did a good job! I like the shading, unique design of pikachu, & you nailed the face! I do feel the feet look too tiny, but sadly it doesn't stand a match to the detailed Spencer micro Vote:Dave Match Six:I vote for Haasamaniac who didn't even hand in because Dragonburger's looks like complete and utter shit. I have to agree with you, man! well one thing I can say about this is.."Winna Winna Chicken Dinna"

Match One: It's a hard one, but I think Alex takes my vote. The shading is excellent, as usual.
Match Three: Going with Vaendin. The shading is awesome, especially on the cape. I think his is more original than AVCore's, but AVCore didn't do bad at all.
Match Four: Gonna go with Masson as I like the shading more. I like Gav's, but the shading looks kinda pillowy in spots.
Match Five: Going with Dave on this one. Both guys did a good job, but Dave's catches my eye more.

Match 1 Voting for Alex. The detail is insane as is everything else. Diablos is good, just not as good.
Match 2 Voting for SPZ. While the shading is pretty poor, he gets the vote for originality, as I think AC's is much too plain.
Match 3 My vote goes to Vaendin. Everything about it is intense and very original. AVC's is very good, but I think the body should be much bigger, and shouldn't he have sponsors on his shorts? Face is pretty good though.
Match 4 Good work, Gav.
Match 5 Vote goes to CA. The thingy on his arm looks pretty cool and the shading isn't too bad. NGW, the shading is boring and some of the shaping is a bit whack (his arms maybe a little too long, I'm not entirely sure). Not bad though.
Match 6 Vote probably would have been hard if Haasa had handed in, this micro looks really cool Dragonburger.

Congrats to all! I assume the winners from the first three and last three matches go into two triple threats?

Brilliant stuff Masson. It's one of those times where I probably wanted to lose because that Gandalf is way better than what I did.
