This adds an interesting perspective to this 'comp'. It's not about whose image is 'best', it's about which image works best as a splash screen for Anim8or.

Nobody specified any criteria for judging. I just thought it would be fun to mention what I like about the contenders. Maybe it is just about which is the most compelling image.
So here is what sets Renegade apart: This one has a lot of energy and motion. Things are exploding and the hero (or villian) is dodging enemy fire to make his escape. A lot of cool things are happening at once-and you tell the whole story in a single 750x450 image. I won't be surprised at all if Rengade is our winner.
I really thought there would be one or two mediocre entries, but that isn't the case.

This is absolutely true, I had no intention of saying how folks should vote and apologies if that's the way my post came across. I haven't had time to comment in detail on all entries but I hope to do so at some stage as I am truly inspired by all of them. The 'suitability' of each entry as a splash screen was one factor in how I voted but wasn't the only factor, I think 'Renegade' is not particularly suitable for the reasons I said in my first post. It also doesn't highlight Anim8or's abilities as well as some other entries do, "Amplify your Vision" included.

ENSONIQ5 brings up a fair point. I find it admirable that he decided to determine what to consider as factors for picking his votes consistently across all entrees. Though I dispute suitability for Renegade. Since for my perspective, Anim8or is a means toward telling stories, so I knew from day one of judging that it'd have my vote.
@ronaldefarmer Thanks. What can I say besides, I love designing characters. I feel like "taking a spin" on existing characters is a fun way to try to express what the characters mean personally to me! Yea there were a number of steps that went into making the text for my bit.

I didn't take it that way at all. Actually, my post didn't come across the way I intended. I just meant that I wasn't trying to say that it isn't okay to pick one just because it is a nice picture. I don't disagree with you on any point, except that I think Renegade is a strong contender for first place.
ENSONIQ5:
No problem ronaldefarmer, totally understood.
I'm very happy with the winner of the poll, 'Red Letter Day' would have been my choice if it was up to me. Congrats thecolclough, it's an excellent piece of work and a deserving winner :)
