I vote fer Destined Reality. It has an art style to it that I really like, and it's clean and crisp- not that Twilight's isn't, but his kind of creeps me out.

EDIT: What the hell are those two Spartan-looking things on the front? O__o

[Radioactive Bob]

I'm going to have to vote for Destined Reality's box, as well.

Twilight's box is fabulous, no doubt. But DR's box has great layout and just look a lot more "elegant" and really fits with the anime style.

[Ladykiller]

I must also go with Destined Reality let me explain:

Twilight's box is as a vet box is. Smooth and Clean. Pretty much flawless. Not only that, his trademark as an artist, is that he is very original and it clearly shows here. Both front and back are beautifully polished from a design standpoint.

Now looking at Destined's box, between the 2 it just caught my eye more. With the semi-vivid (which is a nice balance) contrast and colors. I can see probably just as much effort for this one as Twilight's box and that's saying a lot actually. While it might not be flawless and has a few technical errors (actually quite a handful) I really like the composition of the front and overall fits the anime style really well.

So in technique TwilightMystics wins, design/composition wise they're pretty much equal in my opinion. Though Destined Reality's box has the upper hand in presentation. They're pretty much tied now that I think about it, but overall (and this might sound weird) Destined's box has a better feel to it and caught my eye more :)

Im going to go with Destined Reality the box captures the anime beautifully its dramatic, its got a great art style to it, the box is clean and crisp and orginized.

[alldreamsfalldown]

[master_general]

DR

her style is amazing and it makes me smile :)
the layout of everything is in a great place

[finalfantaseer22]

i think they are both nice in their own ways, but i vote for twilight mystics i think his box shows more effort, great quality and interesting design.

[shadysaiyan]

I Vote For Twilight Mystics, the presentaion of the box is visually stunning in comparison, DR's loks good, but the colors are dull and i suspect the front cover to be just a wallpaper. >_<

[PunisherAB]

I think both boxes are great!, but I have to vote for twilight mystics. I think his box stands our more with the effect his used and the nice design. Plus it's a refreshing idea than Destined Reality's box. Still Destined Reality's box is great and has a great layout for the box.:D

[xIAMHUNTERx]

o_______o WTF? Destined Reality's not a dude?

Whoa.

[Chibi Cloud]

I'm voting for Destined Reality. Her box is much more vivid. The layout is nice. Everything is wonderful and stylish.

[Chibi Cloud]

o_______o WTF? Destined Reality's not a dude?

Whoa.
Wow. You just noticed that? =P

[xIAMHUNTERx]

Wow. You just noticed that? =P

Well, it's not like her avatar is a picture of her... Uhm... parts.

[ELCrazy]

I vote for TwilightMystics as his box clearly shows more effort and is spanky ;)

[Ervo]

I vote for TwilightMystics. Looks like he put more effort on his box and i love MJ (Not in THAT way) :D Great job from DR too :)

[alldreamsfalldown]

Destined Reality wins. Well, she won before FF22 voted.

[Radioactive Bob]

Destined Reality wins. Well, she won before FF22 voted.

Congrats on the win Destined! :)

[TwilightMystics]

I've seen the show and artworks for it and I'm sure it's not a wallpaper. So don't judge shadysaiyan, just because DR isn't a vet. As a matter of fact, a growing number of vets are using "edited" wallpapers. TwilightMystics isn't one of them and showed enormous effort on his front as well. anywayz congrats on the win DR!

No actually that isn't a wallpaper at all...sorry to tell you guys but I have never used a wallpaper for a front for ANY of my boxes. I don't like wallpapers, and if I use them, I add a ton more images to make the design mine. My front actually took a lot of work and all those characters were individually rendered as well as the 3 mechas and the bg was different. It was all in simple words "piece by piece".

But anywayz...I enjoyed this round, so thanks to all that voted. Got real scared when I saw Twilight's box tho, hehe. I am honored to have faced off on a vet, really.

[Destined Reality]

Yeah congratulations on your win:rolleyes:, and succes in the future rounds;)

Thanks! I hope you're able to jump back in by loser's round so I can verse ya again ;)

[Ayron]

omg.
considering the other 1st round winners......
i'm toast


great job,both of you.
and destined,congratulations.

[TwilightMystics]

Thanks! I hope you're able to jump back in by loser's round so I can verse ya again ;)

I guess I'm to expirimental and to different with my style to win any round I think....

[shadysaiyan]

So don't judge shadysaiyan
That just sounds rude.


It was all in simple words "piece by piece"
Thats exactly what i did with the cover of my Folklore box. also congrats for winning.:D
