As I said elsewhere, I don't think I have a chance for winning, but it has been a good flexing of my costume design skills. Good luck to all!

Feel free to do so, just be aware that they won't count for contest purposes. Deebs, Bayani and I already have our hands full.

A lot of good work an designs i am glad i am not judging this because with the Photoshop work to the non its going to be hard to judge while being fair.

As some one else mentioned about some one using same design on two different ones an yes he is.

The reason you do not see it is because the photoshop draws your eyes away from it.

I was thinking he should have appeared in Ouro or RWZ. If Flower Knight, Fusionette, and Faultline deserve extra screen time, so should he.

They could also use him as a "difficulty slider" or store in Pocket D. It's annoying how they give us good stores in the other two co-op zones and no store during Spring and Winter events.

There's a bartender that gets added as a store during the Spring event, though I'm not sure what the other co-op zone is. I'm only counting the D and RWZ.

It would be nice to see him in some high-end content though, even if it's only the way that we see Blue Steel, with a bit of an "OMG, COYOTE DID TISH AWSUM FING." in a mission dialogue.

Forwarded my votes to Fury , lots of hard choices to make !

Good luck to everyone that entered !

Update: All three judges have made preliminary picks. That was the easy part, relatively speaking. The hard part will be in deciding how we determine the winner in areas we disagree.

Stay tuned!

Just curious, has anyone directed the devs' attention to this thread? Would be interesting to get their opinions on the great costume work done here.

But would you throw that much money around to throw the contest, or would you horde it?

On my end I consider it money well spent considering the quality of entries as well as the amount don't get me wrong I horde as much as the next person but in this case it seemed like a pretty cool idea that would get the Virtue locals to interact a bit and get folks to unlurk or visit the forum that might normally never post or visit .

when the contest first started as part of my effort to get the word out I sent pm's to both Warwitch and Jlove asking them to pop on by to look over the entries (also because a red name post attracts viewers :P )

Im sure they get tons of forum pm's

I just blew half my inf on an AE contest, so yeah I love running things like this, though the amount I spent is about a tenth of what's up for grabs here. In fact, in the outside chance that I win something in this one, I've already got plans to throw it into another contest. If I'm not lucky enough to score anything, I might even throw up some of my remaining inf for one.

I think that's a fair enough request.

Fire Wyrm - Manticore
Hi Jinks - Numina, Statesman, Sister Psyche
Matt King - Positron
Bru tal - Manticore
Sweet ice t - Sister Psyche
Hydrothermia - Synapse
Commander - Statesman
Galactoman - Citadel

There were also individual costume award winners that would have qualified for an honorable mention had they not won an award.
