What was the point of this thread? What's it for?

Well, C01 and Dracelix have been friends and rivals for a good time. Years. They wanted to test who was more qualified for the job, at working for Dragonfable as an artist. The competition was brought here to avoid bias on the Dragonfable forums, since Dracelix already works there. Thanks for the cooperation, really.

@Occluded: They wanted a short competition, probably out of impatience.
@Captain-Carrion: No, it isn't, but I guess that means his art would fit in-game.

Your vote was not counted, as it was asked that you give valid reasoning.

vote 6 out of 5.

Thanks for your vote, you decided the winner with yours.

Is that good enough reason?

Its not, but it doesn't matter, the competition is over.

The winner is the character on the right. The character on the right was made by the user Dracelix (account: http://dracelix.newgrounds.com/ ). He is actually working on Dragonfable right now as an artist.

The other entry was made by the user C01 (account: http://c01.newgrounds.com/ ). He doesn't work for Dragonfable, but is an aspiring artist trying his best to win. People may know him for his Tankmen: Battle games.

Thank you all for voting, and congratulations to Dracelix with the victory.

Oh, alright then. The one on the right for actually thinking about the layers of clothing instead of armor plates everywhere. His sword is silly tho.

Okay, thanks for the vote. :)

why is Lefty glowing? he looks like a riced out civic. also he is apparantly black looking at his left arm

Your opinion means absolutely nothing in this topic, so as the guy above you, why did you bother to even say anything?

Well, each of these characters are creations of the respective artists. It is not merely a test of artistic ability, but a test of creativity as well. If people vote for the character they think looks cooler, then it shows who can create a character with more appeal. Thanks for your comment though, and feel free to vote. :)

I was being sarcastic to an extent. And thanks for the vote, Kashi.

They are two separate artists. Thanks for the votes. :)

Well, they actually ARE two different people. Amazing, isn't it? Thanks for your vote. :)

Already there.

I was told by somebody in the art forum that it belongs here. He WAS just being an asshole, but regardless, please vote in either thread.

By the way, this was posted here as I was told it would get more attention. Please vote!

Hello, good people of the Newgrounds community, I present to you a contest of wit and skill! I have created this account to remain anonymous, so this art battle is fair and without bias.

There are two characters in this picture, and both were created in the style of a game called Dragonfable. You, my good citizens of Newgrounds, are to vote which one you think is better, to decide which one of these artists is of a higher quality.

If you are to vote, please do with at least one reason why it beats the other. Votes without reason will not be counted, so I hope everyone is respectful and fair in their decision. The image is below, and here is a high resolution image of it: http://i44.tinypic.com/9xtt.png

Thank you for your time, and may the best artist win.

First to five votes wins.

These were built from scratch, besides the head. I won't argue over this, but each of these individuals are talented artists who built these characters in this style on purpose. The only reason they were posted here instead of the forums for their game was to avoid bias.

I forgot to mention. The winner of this competition will be the first to obtain 5 votes in their favor.
