Fuck... just spent 10mins writing votes and accidently closed the window. Can't be bothered re-writing, so I'll just do a short one sentence for each match...
CMC vs. Haas - Both are good, though you've made better. I put CMC ahead purely for more detail. Both did good, though. Close match. Vote CMC.
CMC vs. Diablo - Both are good. Freeze looks too Tron-like, but very detailed. Umaga is clean and crisp, LOVE the pose and resemblence. Vote CMC.
Masson vs. TC - Masson, HUGE step up. Amazing micro, love the pose/bow. TC, great work too, very original. Vote Masson.
MITB - All did good. Dave, huge step up, probably one of your best micros. NG, not overly original but decent micro. AC, nice pose and a very solid micro. TC, liking it, cool idea. KOK, solid but a bit plain. Black should be a bit darker too. Gav, amazing shaping, I think you should focus more on shading though, as you always come up with amazing ideas but they look flat shading-wise. One of your best though. Hard choice between Gav, TC and Dave. Vote Dave.

Sorry I couldn't compete in the tag match, or bring my A-game in the other match guys. A really good effort by everyone that at this point I cannot replicate or beat. But onto the voting.
Hurricane vs. MJH: Wow. What a headliner match, you two have definitely stolen the show. MJH, I'm not sure what it is, but holy fuck. Hurricane, I know what it is and holy fuck. I think just based on the shading and detailing, whilst keeping it simple and crisp, I've gotta go with MJH on this one.
CMC vs. Haasamaniac: Wow. Tight match, both are incredible micros. Nice Rey, CMC, I think you executed it well. Haasa, that Cody is... perfect. I'm seeing the face, the attire is well done and that belt is fucking incredible. I gotta go with Haasamaniac here.
CMC vs. Hurricane: Close match again, but I'm going to admit, neither of these micros are your best work, but with the workload for the pay per view, that'd be expected. CMC, I'm kind of seeing Brad Pitt in the face of your micro, but I think Hurricane got Batista pretty well. That being said, I am preferring CMC's micro to Hurricane for the most part, so I'll go with CMC.
CMC vs. Diablo: Anyone who doesn't vote for CMC here is kidding themselves. Epic Umaga, man.
Masson vs. TC: Two solid micros. Masson, good stuff, highly detailed but I'm not liking the face and how dark it gets. Bow and arrow look great. TC, love that Kazooie, shading is highly unique and it all looks really good. TC gets my vote.
Money in the Bank: Some good stuff from everyone here. I am torn between Dave (good stuff, one of my favourite micros from you), TC (looks intense) and Gav (really unique) but TC edges it out for me. Nice work from everyone, though.

Masson v TC VOTE: Masson Both Micros are pretty good, although TC's micro is more original ive gotta lean with Masson the shadings great and the bow is a good touch.
CMC v Diablo VOTE: CMC Its not that Diablo's micro is bad its just that CMCs micro is over the top, unique, rather original and the face is probably the best on the card. Dean, just wasnt seeing much of that form you had not long ago.
CMC v Haasamaniac VOTE: Haasamaniac Hardest match to vote, both guys have really good positives CMCs pant shading is neat and Haas's head and template shading is one of the best on here. Splitting hairs here although the Rey Mysterio has a bit more going for it the elbow pads are probably a tad high and the mask looks kinda squashed and lacks some details. Although i think the Rhodes is a bit plain its great all over.
CMC v Hurricane VOTE: Hurricane Both micros to me are a bit off in the face, not by much though but thats where the negatives end, CMC has the shading nailed on the clothes and Cane has done an extraordinary job with the body shading, the detail on both is awesome. I just think Cane pulled Batista off more then CMC did with Pitt.
Hurricane v MJH VOTE: MJH YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! MJH, pulled the micro off more then Ted Mosby pulled off his red boots, 2012 has just seen its best micro to date, Flawless. Its such a shame because Canes micro is probably the 2nd best of the year, the wings are top notch and the shading is really detailed. The Main Event of Micromania has stolen the show for sure
To the MITB guys well done, really liking ACs and TCs.

Dean, just wasnt seeing much of that form you had not long ago. To be fair, I made this micro as a backup for the match with Cane last pay-per-view, but I agree. You won't be seeing that form again for a long time though, since there is only one person I want to face...

MJH is that a Lambent Berserker? Looks crazy! I'll vote tomorrow though fellas, I'm dead tired. yeah, so few reference pics I think apart from a few small areas being flat, it's easily your best micro ever. You done a kickass job.

Nice fail spz
World Championship MJH: epic linework, shading is a little flat in some areas, but the skin has some pretty good texture to it especially the legs.
Hurricane: Really nice shading throughout, especially the wings and horns. Might be the best wings i've seen in micro form. Only flaw i can think of is the upper body seems a bit big for the lower body
Vote: MJH
World Wrestling Championship CMC: Tats look good as does the mask/face. Shading is pretty decent overall. Pants could be a little baggier or wider.
Haas: I like the body temp you use, but other than the title belt and the arm posed holding it (which are both very well done) there's not a lot to it to give it the edge to win. You have a really good shading style i'd love to see you make more intricate stuff
Vote: CMC
Champion Vs Champion CMC: I could see some resemblance in the face, and i like the scar. Attire is quite well done too. Nice work
Hurricane: Really love the way you did the muscle definition, tats and face are also really good. Again the lower body is a little small but still, pretty awesome
vote: Hurricane
Grudge Match CMC: The face is spot on, the pose is well done and the body has a cool cartoony look to it that suits your style well. Not much to nitpick at here lol
Diablo: Some very nice detail in this, particularily the torso. Some parts look a bit off though compared to the refs i'm seeing, just looks too bright (like the silver parts). I attempted this character a while back i know he's a tough one to get right.
vote: CMC
Exhibition Masson: Like others have said, big step up here, that pose must have been a bitch to get right but you got it. Face has some resemblance though the lips look too dark. Attire is fantastic though
TC: Like i said some of your best shading, and the linework is very nice. Very close match here
Vote: Masson
MITB Dave: Solid work, really like the shading,it actually blends well in some places. The head is alright, i find the boots bring it down a little in their shaping
NG: Not bad, face is kinda weird, and it looks a bit like he's wearing oven mits. The rest isn't bad but doesn't stand out all that much AC: I like the face and torso a lot, the pose is pretty well done as well, the simple vertical line shading on the coat bring it down a little though
TC: Insanely well done, maybe my new favourite from you. The pose is flawless and the webbing and overall shading looks really good
KOK: Nice work on the costume and shading but as Cane said looks a little plain, its hard to make classic 'spandex" superheroes stand out cuz their costumes are generally pretty simple
Gav: Great intricate linework, but the shading really needs more blending overall. Still really well done, just needs more work in the shading department.
Vote: TC

Hurricane vs MJH Very hard choice because I think both micros are awesome. I've looked over both for the last five minutes and I think I gotta give it to MJH, it just catches my attention a little more.
CMC vs Haas Two more great micros, I really like them both. I'm gonna go with Haas for the little extra he added with the pose and title. Great from work from both though.
Hurricane vs CMC Another set of great micros, this show has been awesome. It's a hard choice but I think I'm going with Hurricane. I love the work on the torso and the head looks great.
CMC vs Diablo Gotta go with CMC. That's the best Umaga I've ever seen and the pose is awesome. Diablo did great too but I gotta give the vote to CMC.
Masson vs TC Sorry to anyone I let down by not handing in to face Masson. I feel shitty for it but I just couldn't make anything at all that I was even remotely happy with. With that said, I gotta go with Masson. The pose looks great as well as the bow. I love TC's too but Masson just edge's out with the pose for my vote.
Good luck to all in the MITB. Everyone did great.

Once this is show is over I'm going to study people's shading methods a bit closer, and probably ask a few people where I'm going wrong. On Harley I know for sure I'm below par with most of the white shading and the glove. I reckon I lose the ability to focus on shading if I've done a posed micro. My next few won't be posed so I can figure out the shading again (my Roethlisberger is actually displaying no flaws in shading so far anyway.)
Anyhoo. My votes, as briefly as I can make them.
World Championship Two absolute beasts in more ways than one. I can't begin to think about how long MJH's must've taken. It's absolutely magnificent. And Josh shows why he should be in the main event of MM with a nicely shaded micro, and I love the colours on the torso. I gotta go with MJH.
Wrestling World Championship The stature of Rey has been captured perfectly here. Every detail adorning him is perfect too. Very impressive considering how little time CMC had left himself with. Haas' Rhodes reminds me of some actor, but I can't remember who exactly. Point is that I don't personally see Cody in the face. It's an amazing template, attire and belt though. Going with CMC.
El Campeon v El Campeon Now I understand Ron Burgundy's conflict. The woman he used to have relations with or the biggest story of his career. This is hard! Both bodies are fantastic and I see resemblance in both heads, but just a bit more in Raine. I can't find a single reason to discount one over the other. In an unprecedented voting move I'm doing a world first. It's coming down to the flip of a coin and may the gods decide for me. Tails, so Canewins.
Grudge Match Stunning Umaga. This was probably one of my most anticipated micros after seeing the very early stages of it. It turned out just as good as I could have hoped for. Diablo's is very pleasing to look at too. Some great use of colour popping off the black. CMC here.
Exhibition Match Hmm. Love the weaponry and clothes on Legolas, but I think his jaw is much too big looking. Can't really see anything wrong with TC's as the face looks pretty cool and unique overall. Going with TC, but only just.

Gonna go with MJH on this one. Everything looks amazing, and it's very original. While I also like 'Canes, some things just seem to have more contrast than others and looks weird to me.
Haas gets my vote. CMC's Rey looks to squashed to me. But Rhodes looks great. I definitely see resemblance, and the title is a nice touch.
Both of these have great shading, but I vote CMC because I see more resemblance. The tattoos on Batista look awesome though.
This one is tough. CMC's has a great pose and resemblance, but Diablo's is very eye catching, and the colors are great. The only thing I don't like about Umaga is the belt. Going with Diablo.
Nice work Masson. I really like it.
Good luck guys, all of the entries look good.
