Lord_Arcanus goes on

[lord_arcanus]

i'm dead. dead as a... dead guy.

[Radioactive Bob]

Well, they're both great in their own way. But I have to lean towards Wicked's. It has a nice, clean feeling to it.

[lord_arcanus]

i knew it....

[finalfantaseer22]

hmm im impressed actually. im gonna have to go for lord arcanus.
the colors go together well, and sonic stands out well, and the logo has good placement.

wicked's is better quality, however its a little too simple and for me the black and white over sepia doesnt sut it--- its not as attractive. (also he used teh ps2 ntsc region logo--- teh xbox 360 only has "NTSC")

[shadysaiyan]

i agree with finalfanteaseer, i like the mboth, but i feel wicked's is kind of simple (if that the word im looking for) so i vote for lord arcanus

[Sergant Johnson]

yea i really like arcanus's it makes tht sonic game acutally look good....which it isnt. my vote goes to lord arcanus

[E_G]

I vote for Arcanus' box too.
I enjoy the style of Arcanus's Sonic box more even though Wicked's is a lot more professional, is that fair?

[lord_arcanus]

yes i have finally came to realise that the game isn't exactly that good. i'm happy that i got 4 votes :)

[Crayon Man]

Honestly, I do not like either of the templates they used, so based of the art of the front, I am leaning more towards Arcanus. Dont get me wrong, BOTH are excellent. :D

[crazypun88]

Im going to have to go with WickedGamer1. It more clean and crisp looking. Lord_Arcanus is good too but i the background seems a bit weird. Im not really sure what it is =S.

[JaJaWa]

I like both but I think Lord_Arcanus' is slightly better...

[KoopaDasher]

I love the colors in Arcanus' box. He gets my vote. It seems more official, whereas wicked's seems just.....fan art-ish...

[seanbrett]

i actually think wickedgamers is more official looking, but lord arcanus's is very good also. My vote goes to wicked

[Radioactive Bob]

ARCANUS WON!
I think so at least.
You need 7 votes, correct? Well, Arcanus reached his last vote 2 posts ago. :p
Great job man! :D

[PunisherAB]

Holy crap..Wick his getting his ass kick by Lord A!!!

I seem to know why now.

Even thoght Wick box is offical looking and look crisp and clean, the Real B&W Image on Color BG doesn't due it to me, but is still looking great.
While Lord_A give us a colorful feeling to the sonic francinse and it make us forget that it's a crappy game. Both hard to choice, if you didn't have b&w on Color, Wickedgamer I would pick you, but because of that and the fact that this isn't you best, I have to said.....


Lord_Arcanus for the Win.

(B&W = black and white BG= background)

[Radioactive Bob]

Lord_Arcanus for the Win.

No, you're saying it wrong.
It's:
Lord Arcanus FTW.
See? You need to use acronyms. They are the beginning of a new generation. Embrace them, or be left behind...(That's a good book, actually; Left Behind...)
But good job to both of you guys. Both were very awesome.

I'm in the other older generation, bob;)

PunisherAB FTW

[KoopaDasher]

Is anyone else's computer not showing A's box? I don't see it....

[Sonic7]

I vote for arcanus because wicked's box is just a bit boring because of the dark colors

[spongejr_12]

I agree with Sonic7! I love it!

[sockeymeow]

I'm amazed but I have to go twoards Arcanus's the colers just blends together really well and give it an all around good look

[sockeymeow]

Hey DarthSpazz looks like arcanus won I'd like to see that 10$ now

[WickedGamer1]

umm....is that even fair? Sonic is already out on the PS3. if i coulda done any box, i coulda dne a whole lot better, but no, iw a confined to one of the 4 games with any good materials coming out in march.
wtf?

[Crayon Man]

True, Sonic IS already out on PS3

Sonic the Hedgehog is scheduled to be released for the PS3, alongside the console, in Europe this march and Arcanus' box was for the European version of
the game so it counts, PEGI ratings and all.
Understand now?

[WickedGamer1]

oh.. i see you're going by the fucking Euro dates.
too bad that wasn't clear in the rules.

[WickedGamer1]

I l0v3 SOnIC! adN wiKCidS iS boRniNG cuz B&w!.

Dude, just clam down, it's just a contest and suppost to be fun.

But I know how you feel, losing due the limitation of materiacals and games plus the fact that other person using stuff that already been used to make a game cover.

But this is still not a reason to get mad over.

(and for the record, I'm a sonic fan, but that diddn't effect my choice for the round, if you use a colored image instead of B&W, I would have pick you...that because of that, it didn't look as good to me...didn't blend well....but I also still would have a hard choice to choose due to there both good boxart, by a gaming standards and if Lord make I crappy box, I would tell, but he didn't and it was hard to choose)

thats bullshit, first, because the image isn't black and white. I'm not that fucking dull, seriously. come on.
you pretend to notice the details, but you completely missed that arcanus used a "fan made" template, and his reflection was way off.
also, silver's feet look displaced compared to sonic's, almost as if he's floating, and that catches my eye, and also dissapoints me.

and whats this?: "Holy crap..Wick his getting his ass kick by Lord A!!!"
thanks for the boost in morale there, bud.
you need a boost in online grammar.

I said that Quote due to that, when I was about to vote, you were getting your ass kick...there no denying that, you were going to lose.

Also, his box is more colorful than your box, is which is why I'm keep saying the main character shouldn't be b&w...it doesn't feel right for some reason and it would give it more of a vibe than being more dark.

I'm just saying Lord was slight better and people been saiding that.
There no reason you should be mad over a little contest. I'm not mad that I lost, I wouldn't be mad at all if I lost to a loser or to a great artist like yourself.

Just clam down and do better next time. Cause we all know what you will kick ass in the other events,


I'm sorry for my grammer, casue I'm multi-tasking right now with my H.W. and Animation.

*edit also that image of the main character is B&W...which was what I was talking about. If you think I was talking about the whole image/whole box as B&W, you be crazy ;)

[WickedGamer1]

fuck the other events. but heres a suggestion: make the votes private.
its kinda a good idea, seeing as how i have a few vendettas right now.
fucking tards.

See, this is what I'm talking about, you need to really clam down..this cussing isn't really necessary. If you going to act like this, you should really just tell Lodo right now to quit the tournament, cause all we want is a contest to have fun and to get better with making boxart. Being mad is one thing, but you don't have to go on and be a jerk about it. When I'm try to tell you to clam down and forgot about this..just worry about the next round.

[KoopaDasher]

Dude, wicked....calm down, man. I absolutely hate sonic, and to be honest, if you had posted your box on the site, I probably would have given it a 5/5.....but the color just stood out more in Lord A's box... it's just a contest. You're still one of, if not the best artist on here....

[Crayon Man]

We all can over-react, I have in many cases. Wicked, trust me, its not worth gettin all worked up about. Its a contest, and EVEN IF you won the contest, you dont receive anything, so you didnt lose ANYTHING. Besides, if I lose, you will kcik my ass in the next round.

[Radioactive Bob]

Why don't we all just relax and watch the Oscars...
I bet we'll see more than one actress cry for not getting an award. :p

[PunisherAB]

I second that!:D

[blinkofeye]

getting or not getting they are going to cry anyway

[Mist]

Wicked, seriously dude... chill. I didn't get mad when you beat me in the first round of the first competition that we had. Besides, you do have a chance for a "comeback". Personally, I'm excited for Lord Arcanus, this was, I think, a big step for him... And I think it'll make him a better boxartist.

[Crayon Man]

Couldn't have said it better Mist.

[WickedGamer1]

i'm sorry. i just took a lot of those votes very personally.
my shit isnt appreciated or acknowledged enough.
Most of you people will eat up anything that looks shiny.
no respect for effort.
none at all anymore.

[finalfantaseer22]

i hate sonic and def jam.

and btw, someone did ask in the "round one of vgba competition" thread if the box could be of release in march where ever they reside.

[KoopaDasher]

That was me, FF22...no one ever responded. I didn't know if I could do SSX Blur or not....it comes out in March in Europe, but in Feb here. And Wicked, dude, your boxes are awesome!! I haven't given a single one of your boxes less than a 5/5 yet!! I wish I was half the artist you are!!

[lord_arcanus]

anyways, silver CAN float in the air... it wasn't intentional to make it look like that but it still seems effective to me since his powers allow him to do that. i can't believe i won... but i agree with everyone else wicked still is like the second best on the site (first gunslinger or mad spike)

[lord_arcanus]

uh oh, i'm going to be against either crayon man or electric general next round.... this competition will be a toughie.

[Hunter]

that was tough .... oh well can't wait to see what happens in the next round
