Character Of The Week: DiCicatriz- Crag
Now there's a very particular reason I chose this weeks COTW and I want to see if anyone realises before they get to the end of the post. So, everyone, please take a look at this.
Ok, well for a start it's DiCicatriz, so that means the shading is awesome. You can just feel the cold emanating from him, with those icy blues and the stark white highlights. But that's not the reason.
Then we have the contrast of the picture. The cold blues and whites of the foreground character stand out brilliantly against the warm reds oranges and browns of the background. Still not the reason though.
Then we have the costume. Admittedly I would have preferred it if the pure black didn't make up most of the colour for the costume, it does mean much of the detail is lost, but it works against the very light body colours. I do like the fact that DiCi has used some of the lesser seen items, the disk shoulder pads (not sure what they're called) and the giant clawed gauntlets. It makes the piece stand out more. But again, that's not the reason.
The reason I chose to feature this picture, is because of his face. He's Regice 😉 . Ok not really, but he looks quite like him. Seems like someone else is as hyped as I am for the new Pokemon games 😉 .

JRoundup- Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
In lieu of a Big Question this week, and because I'm a massive Pokemon fanboy, I'm going to be taking a look at the soon to be released 3rd Gen Pokemon remakes. I apologise to all of you who aren't Pokemon fans, normal service will be resumed next week (because I won't have got the games by then so I can't do a review of them, thank you Gamefreak and your stupid police of giving Europe the games a week after everyone else).
Anyway, on with the show.

Character Design Contest ♯97 (The 200th)- Top 5
As you might expect, this weeks poll got a truly monstrous amount of votes, over 800 (resists urge to make a Dragonball joke). And considering that there were so many entries, I thought I'd give you guys a run down of the top five before I unveil our winner. Please bear in mind I'm not going to be saying any of the other results other than the top 5 here (because it's not going to feel very nice to find out you came last is it, and unfortunately someone has to come last), so please don't ask. With that out of the way, lets jump right in at number 5.
5. CosmicComics- The New Passanger/ RobM- Mars Shuttle 950 To Nix Olympia: 43 Votes
The 5th position was incredibly hard fought, there were 4 people fighting over it all week, they all finished within 3 votes of each other in the end, and, as if to prove how close it was, 5th place ended in a tie with CosmicComics making up a few votes in the last day to match RobM's tally of 43 votes.
4. JR19759- Lili & Danni The Kiss: 50 Votes
All I can say here is thanks for all the votes guys. It was kinda nerve wracking for me, I've been able to see the votes all week, but fourth ain't bad, 2 places better than I got in the 100th. And when you look at the top 3, I have no complaints about where I came.
3. Valyndril- Prophetess Of The Moon: 88 Votes
And now for the ridiculous jump in votes to our top 3. These 3 ran off with it from around Tuesday and from then on, there was no catching them. Unfortunately for Valyndril, she just wasn't able to keep up with the top 2 in the final stretch. But that's still a Bronze Medal in a "Best Of" contest, and that's no mean feat.
2. Candruth- Paladin: 96 Votes
Ok, whose jaw just dropped to the floor. When the poll first went up it seemed everyone and their mother had bets on this winning. And for much of the week it was a dead heat between this and our eventual winner, literally. They were tied on votes practically every time I looked at the vote count, maybe 1 or 2 votes here and there at points, but it was so close, until Candruth lost a bit of momentum yesterday and that was it, game over.
And finally…. our winner. Coming in with 105 votes, my personal favourite from this contest, by one of my favourite 'machiners (that had nothing to do with why he won by the way), the winner of the 200th Character Design Contest is...
