Congratulations to the winners of Friday Night Fights Round 2, who have each won either their own portrait or any item of their choice to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 version! The four Semi-Finalists will now square off in head-to-head matchups to compete for your votes. The two winners from this round go on to the Finals, with the runner-up receiving a custom black and white character illustration and the winner their own custom color illustration.
Here's how our bracket stands at the moment:
Without further ado, I present your two Semi-Final Matches (click on an image to see the full-sized version)!
Congratulations as well to the winner of the first West Coat Avengers bracket, "Flame Knight!" His creator will also receive their choice of a portrait or any item for HM3 inclusion. Like in the last round, we once again will have a "West Coast Avengers" bracket featuring all the Fantasy entries for those contestants not advancing on to the current main round, with the winner getting the same choice of portrait or item.
Voting is open from now until next Thursday night at midnight, and you can vote once per day. So tell your friends to vote early and vote often! Good luck to all four Semi-Finalists, and to the great folks in the WCA bracket.
Ok, I have a slight problem, when I submitted my characters for this contest I selected the wrong version of Jenel, I have a hm2.5 version and a newer HM3 version of the character, and I had intended to send the HM3 version, but as you can see I sent in the HM2.5 version by mistake. I have sent Jeff the correct version, but at this point I don’t know if it is fair to ask him to change it as there have been votes in this round already.
I think I updated the picture Kaldath, PollDaddy said it can take ten minutes or so to refresh on the site, we’ll see if that took. There are only seven votes so far so hopefully the impact will be small.
Alright, here’s my votes:
3-1: Here I went with the Barbarian Queen. I thought that Tyggr was just too busy. I get that he’s supposed to be an adventurer back in the olden days, and those guys needed to pack lots of supplies, but I still didn’t like it.
3-2: I chose Lonely Wolf. This was probably my toughest decision out of all the FNFs so far. Both are really good entries, but in the end, I went with Wolf because of the unique helmet that appears to be made of at least 4 items, all working together in sync.
WCA: There are too many in this one to go into detail on why I picked who I did, so I’ll just say who I picked and leave it at that. I chose Scarab.
Good luck to the 4 remaining entrants, and congratulations on getting so far!
Whoops, just saw the new Jendel. I guess from tomorrow ’til next Friday, I’ll be voting for it, since it still has the unique color scheme, but now also has a multi-item helmet, which was the only advantage Wolf had over it…
Thank you very much Jeff
And the race is on.
Warrior woman YES !
Even with the updated picture, I prefer “Lonely Wolf”…
Jendel is just too busy for my tastes.
1 – Barbarian Queen. She’s got some character. Her opponent feels a bit too generic.
2 – Lonely Wolf. Wow. VERY well done. One of the best entries of FNF thus far.
WCA – Scarab. Very cool. Well done.
A punk pixie! Love it! Once I know who to credit I’d like to make a copy.
Good bunch of characters this week.
1- Barbarian Queen. Of the two she seems better put together.
2- Lonely Wolf. I love the detail on the face. The purple on the sword threw me off a bit, but overall the character works.
WCA- This one was harder. There are some really good ones here. So far the favorites seem to be between Calin and Scarab. I have to say I did NOT vote for Calin because (call me picky) but it drives me crazy when people leave off ears. I know, who cares? I do. It is attention to detail that I look for in a character. So who did I pick? haven’t decided yet.
I have to say, I am really digging the comments about why you all like the ones you like, that’s something I find totally fascinating.
Wow… for the runner-ups, I actually, UN-BIASED…LY (whatever) voted for mine, after fully viewing and considering all the others! I’m not telling… if you know me, you know which one it is.
Hercules looks completely bad-ass, but is it just me, or is he cross-eyed?
How did he do the thing with lonely wolf’s fingers so the grip looked right?
Tryggr Erlingsson vs. Barbarian Queen
Vote ; Barbarian Queen
Why ; A very unique design, attention to detail, and facial wise, she looks more realistic. Overall a great design
Jenel La’Damor DeCaye vs. Lonely Wolf
Vote ; Lonely Wolf
Why ; Both are amazing, a great pairing, I like parts of each better than the other, but due to a wider range of colors, I choose Lonely Wolf, but both are very solid.
WCA ; Hercules
I liked a few of these entrants, my favorites were Scarab and Hercules, but preference wise, I went with Hercules.
Overall ; Hercules, although Barbarian Queen and others are just as good.
Congratulations to those continuing on in FNFs, and I wish you all the best of luck.
@Imp, he’s not suppose to be cross-eyed, but I noticed that aswell, lol. Now that I’ve gotten a bit better with HM3, I might revisit him, and finely tune a few things.
I have to admit, that I’ve voted for my own characters in the contest, but it was because I liked their overall designs better than that of their opponents, not saying mine where better, just that I personally preffered them. With that said, I did think there were better entrants in each round.
My Entrants
The Rock (The Rook) Win
Nova (Nelson Nova) Lose
Hercules ???
