Arrrrgh im loving them all its too hard to decide!!!!!

In the end I voted for Steve's, because I thought the city was really clever!!! (unless a place like that really exists...

Kudos to all of you!!!

I putting my vote for Xinnamin, the pokemon that she hand drawn (well with computer, XD) look amazing. I also love the different backgrounds. I don't think there's anything needed to be improved on. Good job Xinnamin!!!

 

[Kazumi]

I'd have to say that Chise's is the best. I really like the art she did, and I like how it's not to cluttered up, which makes it good for a desktop. It's definitely a lot better then mine.

Wait, did she draw those herself? I was kind of torn between Steve's and hers, but that could help tip the scales. So many nice ones, though. Everybody does a better job than I could with my (nonexistent) graphical skills. *claps*

What's up with Steve's? I swear that's just a picture of the city from Pokemon Battle Revolution... I think I see a few effects in there, but they hardly make a difference. You don't notice unless you look at the comparison. He's winning? Psh.

Anyway, I voted for Beeker, simple but nice. Good renders and the background works well.

 

[TreeHuggerPanda]

It was a tie between Xinny's and Chise's. (I'm a sucker for anything cute^^)

But I voted for Chise. The art style was soooooo cute and I love the Igglypuff in the background!

 

[Anubis]

Chise 100%

 

[Zenox]

I know I entered and I'm ashamed I didn't get to see the other entrants before I made mine, mine's horrible on comparison

Aside from Steve's, his is just the wallpaper from the official PBR site with a color effect. A sparkle here and there and he's winning ... I vote Steve cheated. :<

Everyone else's is amazing, though! Man, I wish I could re-enter.

I made mine how I'd want a wallpaper, simple. Everyone else's is over the top and makes mine look bad

 

[Beeker]

Anyway, I voted for Beeker, simple but nice. Good renders and the background works well.

Thanks.
I think I like simple, at least for a wallpaper. Clutter is not nice.

But wow, it's so hard to vote! I gotta say, all of these entries are amazing!
Chise's is one I enjoy. The drawing itself is very nice, and it is very clean.
But once again, I say, well done everyone!:clap:

 

[TheGreen]

I voted for Zenox's.
If I were to have one of these backgrounds, his would be the most pleasant. The ball has that cool lighting effect on it, but the ball it self has the outline which makes it look flat; they are contradicting!, but it still works somehow!

I also really liked Jebus's.
It's pretty simple, but i think the texture went just a little overboard. The concept is really cool though.

Chise: Super cute! I love the little igglybuff pokiing its head out from the cloud. The colors are simple yet bright. I don't think yours needs any changes, but for some reason part of me expected to see a pokemon image in one of the clouds.

Zenox: I actually quite like yours - simple can be quite good. I think the only thing I may have done differently would be to make the background color something else, so that it wasn't white on white. That may be personal preference.

jebus_thecatman: Really like the style of yours. Just out of curiosity, what was the text in that layer?

Kazumi: I am normally a fan of brighter, but I realized you were going for the "Pokemon Black and White" theme. (Took me a second to actually read the text. :xd Considering that, I'm a big fan of the style.

Steve: Really like the image you chose for that! I don't usually think of pokemon as "metro" but I like the overall idea, and the colors are nice.

Beeker: I like the way the background radiates outward from the pokeball. Overall the design is simple - which I like - but at the same time doesn't appear to have any empty spaces.

Xinnamin: You already know I like yours from our convo. It's cute and colorful and I know that the pokemon is seasonal, but I still like the way you used the background of each season for each form of shikijika.

All in all, good job everyone. I admire everyone's skills!

I like Xinnamin's. I like the art of the Pokemon she made, plus the seasons in the background. Good job Xinnamin!

These are the types of posts I really like to see... C&C posts like these are the ones that will receive exp points when the market feature is updated

These are all great, but why is everybody voting for Chise? Drifloon wasn't even in any of the Pokemon games for N64! Aren't we supposed to vote for the one that fits the theme most?
