I'm going to give my own comments on the
winners and runners up in this
KONTRAVERSHUL RPGCODEX KOMPETISHIUN!
Gladiator
Winner
The Gold glow around the head and the full variety colour in the uniform are what make it stand out for me. Some of the others looked good, but they had dull colours. The double-hammers also give him a feel of all attack and no defense, which I think sits right in well for a Gladiator.
Runner-up 1
He's wearing gold armour and...? The hammer does nice damage, but I think the lack of helmet makes it lacking. It also tries to be all Gold and Godly without being all Gold and Godly, and so therefore fails. It doesn't go far enough to pull it off. Although if it was all Gold, it'd probably be too Gold. The winner is also attacking, in motion, with dual hammers, while this guy is just standing around like a doofus pointing at something.
Runner-up 2
Uhh... no. He's wearing shit all.
Seraphim
Winner
The pose, definately the pose. Looks like she's meditating before launching into a fierce battle.
Runner-up 1
The pose is good, but compared to the first one? This is just a casual "I'm standing here with a pole" pose, as opposed to a "I'm meditating about kicking some serious butt". I like the pole she's holding though and I LOVE the armour. It loses out to the 1st one solely because of the pose. If this Seraphim was posing like the winner, it'd win, hands down.
Runner-up 2
Xanadu!! Looks like she's doing Gym exercises. If we were zoomed in a bit more, it might look ok.
