As you can see, the top five vote getters are Ninja (Moognation), The Reaper (AMS), Love is Always Win (Harlequin), SoulLessRedux (Iscarioto), and Witch Hunter (meniukas). Congratulations to all five of you! I'll be doing my own interpretation of your characters as your prize, which is going to be very difficult in some of these cases as your style is so distinctive and awesome that doing anything different will be a challenge. But I'll try!
Thanks again to everyone for showing off your artistic skills and for being a part of this community for one hundred challenge outings now. I hope you've had as much fun making your illustrations as I have had in seeing them. Now get out there and let your creative side flourish!
Can’t believe I tied with Dblade and Djuby. That’s practically winning in my book. Would have been nice to have been in the top five, but I was beaten by much better artworks. Well done to the top five, you guys deserved it.
Congrats winners.
Heyla!
Awesome job for everyone! And Congratulations to the winners!

Hey, Jeff, there are two entries named “Virgo”: mine and Kaylin’s. I think Kaylin’s is the one with more votes (it is really an awesome pic), but I just wanted to know which is which. Thanks!
Kaylin’s is the one with 36 votes.
I thought so. Kaylin really had a fantastic image, and she deserved every one of those! Congrats!
Congrats winners! You all deserved it.
Everyone did amazingly this time round, so well done everyone else, too!
Thanks for the votes, fellow machineheads and congrats to the other winners. Hopefully we will see everyone back for the 200th!
Cheers!
