Jamahoney · April 2013

In order of *choices:

(1) scorpio64dragon – only image

(2) skavengur – 2nd image

(3) csampson – 1st image

(4) luci45 – 2nd image

(5) chohole 1st image

(6) Wirenut – 2nd image

(7) dan whiteside – 2nd image

(8) jonrea – only image

Contests can sometimes be unfair as so many talented artists get overlooked for want of the number of choices demanded, so apologies to all that I couldn't include. But best of luck to the above.

*Choices: I chose the above not for their technical skills, but more for how they set a certain ambience, a certain storyline - as intentioned by the individual artist's work/render, and/or perceived (incorrectly or not) by this viewer - always a subjective area open to interpretation.

Not ordered by favorites, just in the sequence of pages viewed from last to first in the thread.
_______________

Edit: Reordered by favorites. That's even harder. They're all great. The first three I'm pretty sure about. The last five, well, I could put them in a different order on any different day or time depending on my mood.

Geminii23 · April 2013

First, let me say that this was an unbelievably hard decision. There were so many amazing entries and to me everyone that entered is a winner already. Congrats!

So, here are my top picks, but for those that didn't make my list, please know that it was a tough call and I still think everyone did an amazing job!

Big thanks to Lycanthropex for all you hard work on this thread and of course major thanks to Stonemason for your amazing work that made all of these images possible!

Jason Galterio · April 2013

Here are my picks:

I based my choices by what appeared to my eye to be the best showcases for Stonemason's models. Without being solely a showcase for the model.

And it was hard to narrow down the choices to just eight. And then even harder to put them into a reasonable preference order.

Storypilot · April 2013

As everyone has said, this is really challenging. I had about 30 favorites I downloaded and then started shifting around trying to get to my final 8. I made it to about 15 and then got really stuck. But 8 is what we need (thank goodness it wasn't 3 anymore), and here are my 8:

1. #123 - samc
2. #113 - pete jacubinas
3. #79 - Kalypso #1
4. #68 - Isikol #2
5. #126 - scorpio64dragon
6. #69 - Jabba101 #2
7. #139 - steveh #1
8. #156 - Wirenut #2

Great work everybody. Thank you Stonemason for the contest, thank you LycanthropeX for setting up the thread, and thank you DAZ :)
