It's still AG Tueasday, isn't it? Postponed because irl stuff has been crappy. And because Thoad begged me to hurry. Begging brings postposting. Blame Thoad.

Trying with less fail this time, sorry about that Lufffi... (Though technically you would have been too late if I hadn't been late. Still sorry about that, though.)

It is TTLY still Tuesday SOMEWHERE.
*defensive pose*

I actually started writing this exactly on midnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, AG time... So 24 hours later than I had planned. Life was mess. Needed brain off of things, so I procrastinated with City of Villains... Actually fitting for the theme of this week, Crime.

No Champions Exhibition, for I do not see a xiamot in the entree pile...

And I will say this beforehand. Really tough choice between the two top placements, but amount of detail won over simplicity because it more explicitly expresses the crime that took place (though it looks like the crimes in the two pieces are of similar nature).

First Place
Cenere

And curses on you for only posting the link, I was already considering the top placements when I remembered you had made one that definitely deserved to be considered. And so it was.
Good use of blur. Love the wood effect in the handle. Not so much the blood effect. Overall well done and deserving this, though.

Second Place
WackWeeper

Very close to first, but it's in the more subtly artistic end, which I tend to like better actually, but... With this theme... It just got topped, I guess.

Third Place
phsycomonkey

Image may be a bit quickly done, yet it still manages to have a good depth. Also I'm biased because of the vault door. Busted vaultdoors are guud. (Also good job on actually shading the notes.)
And as a sidenote, I do hope you become a lot better at handling critique.

All the rest of you los- err, not-winners (no offense intended, just tired humor):

Zega

Default crazy scientist villain?

Ogt2

Interestingly simple. Who's getting shot?

thisisnotanalt

Did you ever explain this one? It looks kinda cool. Don't know what you meant with it, though.

crimsonblade55

Nice use of your chars~
Also, a tip... You might want to reconsider how you shade eyes, and consider beginning to shade bodies.

Pois0nArr0w

Also very close to get into the top three, actually... That's pretty well done and actually looks good with the pixel-proof rendering.

Pixie214

That must be a disturbing sight to find in the mirror~

fst6

I honestly don't have a comment for this one. (I'm sleepy. Blame Thoad.)

thoadthetoad
Big Image
Yay for Blobius. Blobius is cute and fail. Yes~

JereN

Made with your TrackPoint on your laptop? Almost deserves an honorary mention for Effort, then. Good job. (Another that was really considered for the top three...)

Gantic

*headdesk* I think you're trying to mess with my head with your filenames sometimes...

kingryan

Strop is a crime against humanity? You're both bogans. *stamps with bogan deward*

LuffiStudios

The entry that I did not forget to consider but forgot to post in the original version of the judging...
Also! *gives brazen fail medal* Because everyone knows making references to one self winning the ASC is fail. :3

Record time fail judging! W00t! (27 minutes, srsly, is you don't count the fail edit which is why the judging is reposted this much after AG midnight..)

As for next Monday... For it will be due Monday, kids. *pushes glasses up on nose*

Theme: The Purple Injection
Deadline: Monday, 1st of June

Theme may be interpreted broadly as well as taken extremely literal (or interpreted as I thought it if any of you randomly do that).

WE TRAI SO HAERD.

J00 IS MAKING FAORPLAY DDDD:

*sigh* as you say via AIM I nearly lost it when you used the link instead of the image for blobious, and exactly what way is he fail...? Like is he fail through your eyes or is his story, of which he can't fight crime for shiznit fails? I'm a little curious about that.

Also, I directly related "The Purple Injection" to Resident Evil, so expect something relating to that~

Nah, he's the same kind of winfail as other cute but somewhat useless at what they claim to be their purpose creatures are.
