.

Well done @Reach4theSky! Great round and I figured correctly that I had too much ground to make up given the gap from the first!

Awesome job as always to everybody and thanks to @Arqueto and @Myrddin Wild for keeping this stuff going and organized. Definitely tough to stay positive and motivated in light of our recent community loss but I think we did our boy proud. RIP Mike, we miss you mate.

Thanks again to everybody, wish you all a great weekend. Enjoy the fights and shoop on!!

Thanks guys but the real winner here is @Arqueto . He had to step into @bigwaverider 's humongous shoes and did an amazing job. All credit goes to him and @Myrddin Wild who also does a lot behind the scenes..

And just to let everyone know that I'm a fighting champion and will be here for the next NGS contest to defend my title. I was a little disappointed how the voting turned out for me in round two considering how much effort I put into that shoop ( over a hundred different individual shoops!). But quantity doesn't always equal quality. So lesson learned and I'll be ready for the next contest!

Thanks guys it's been tough these past few weeks but we keep this going and honour our brother Mike.

Big shout out to @Myrddin Wild @giovanni_ss and @Otto! for being there for me and helping with all the contest stuff that goes on behind the scenes.

 

[Reach4theSky]

Also, congratulations to @Natural Order for winning round two. Awesome shoop man..

I was happy to lose to such a good shoop..

 

[HUGHPHUG]

Great job brother... it's alwayz a pleasure~
Almost caught my 2 round score from this one round!

Thanks dude, it was a real botch job. Haven't shooped in so long I forgot my software was on my old windows 7 pc, so I had to use Paint instead. Should have taken 2 minutes but took me 20

 

[Myrddin Wild]

I had a choice of an alteration of my shoop, but inevitably went with the square version.

I'm curious to hear which one y'all would choose.

[true_fan]

I want to thank all those who voted for me very much! Regardless of who won all shoops are amazing in their own way! Congratulations to all because honestly you’re all awesome

Contest Version

I would have went with the first version. It has more of an artsy Anime style to it, but the difference isn't huge. Either way it's a cool ass shoop, and one of my favorites from the contest..

 

[true_fan]

I thought drawing Randy in there would win me the contest but obviously I was wrong! Also the concept of the message in the drawings didn’t do it!

 

[Natural Order]

Also, congratulations to @Natural Order for winning round two. Awesome shoop man..

Thanks boss, I didn't think it would do so hot to be honest. I do like how it turned out but couldn't think of anything humorous to run with and normally funny is a big part of winning these!

You put a lot of effort and ideas into your shoops, both were great. I learned quickly entering these that sometimes simple and funny outdoes technical and too much. Good luck in the future hope to see you keep entering my friend.

You got a vote from me homie. I lol'd at the whole thing. You're a unique entrant that's for sure!

I also threw in a naked Randy for some votes. Seems Sherdog has soured on naked Randy..

Your shoop is awesome though. It isn't easy to draw on a computer like that. Plus Pena looks hot as fk..lol

Contest Version

I actually think the entrant version was best choice. While the unique border is cool it kind of takes the eyes away from an already busy scene, possibly detracting from the effect. I like the clean edge you went with.

How funny... both of these POVs... were the thing I waz boggling through my intoxicated mind while trying to decide~!!!

You are 100% right. You gotta catch their eye. Nobody has time to sit and study your shoop and look for all the easter eggs..Next time I'll be going for something more simple but effective..

 

[Natural Order]

The beauty of art and creation, all subjective. All good!

Sorry bout that bro... bigwaverider kept the big call list. (for shoop news notifications) I had a copy from 2 years ago & so maybe you weren't on it then.

@Brother Arq will get you on there though, so that you get the notifications from now on.
