[ELCrazy]

I'm going to lose. It's as simple as that :p

[frenchboy1]

Wow, both are fuckin' great :D

ElCrazy's : Official looking. Seriously, I can't really see any flaw. My only complaining would be the black part on the top of the front. But it's just a question of taste.

M.C's : Stylish. Here again, I can't really see any flaw. It fit the movie, but I don't find it so official looking.


My vote goes to..................................ElCrazy

[VGMaster]

Sorry ElCrazy, but my vote goes to Mysteryman! Elcrazy's seems bluury at times and kinda empty. And the mysterydudes has like no flaws!

[Static101]

This is hard... I have not seen both movies and they both look really good.

My vote goes to... mystery competitor because their's looks really nice and stylish. As VGM said, Elcrazy's seems a little blurry and empty at times.

[Ervo]

I'm gonna go with ELC. It fits the movie's style. So does Mysterdudes but anyways i prefer ELC's box. Stylish.

[Ninjamojo27]

DAMN YOU ELC!!! Thats what my box exactly looked like...
Anyway,
I vote for M.C. not cause ELC has the same box, because M.C.'s is pretty much flawless.

[Lenny819]

Im gonna have to vote for ELCrazy it looks so much like a real cover and has the epic saving private ryan feel to it, where the mystery competitors diffrent color change doesnt blend to me. All together you guys did good

[sockeymeow]

These are both amazing boxes, Elcrazys has an epic and deep look to it where as the mystery artist (who i think i know who he/she is) has a great on the run futuristic look to it. Overall though im going to go with Elcrazy though because it looks more realistic

[Kirbylore]

I vote for ElCrazy because it just looks so damned official. Mystery-guy's box is good, but there's something about it... I think it's the title. I dunno, but It kinda throws off the whole thing a tad and captures most of your attention.

[Sp-6]

its a pity, that you guys have met in the first round.
both boxes are professional and detailed.
i must vote for MC, because i see a little more effort in his box.

[Sens]

The mystery box is clean as hell.. BUT it isn't very professional and whilst a little rough around the edges ElCrazy's Box captures the feel of the movie alswell as being very professionaly composed.

So...

My vote is for ElCrazy!

[dmshaposv]

I love both of them, but I'd have to go with the mystery competitor's - I just like some of the effects better there. Also the colors fit the theme of the movie very well.

[ELCrazy]

Me: //////
MC: /////

I'm soooo close :p

[Ratchetcomand]

Elcrazy, it looks more officail looking and the back is amazing.

[thecodemaster]

Congratulations to ELCrazy, you have prevailed against the Mystery Competitor and will advance to ROUND 2!

And now to reveal the mystery competitor: *curtain remains closed* - damn, it won't open.

[Star89er]

And now to reveal the mystery competitor: *curtain remains closed* - damn, it won't open.

Tell.
Us.
NAO.

[Ladykiller]

It's me... :O

NOT! lolololol :D

[Ratchetcomand]

ELCrazy wins, good luck in the next round.

[Copperhead]

They are both incredible, they both caught my eye and are both worthy of the 1st place spot, and here are the reasons why.

ELCrazy: ELCrazy's cover is very simple, clean, crisp. The style matches the film perfectly and looks professional, I personally like it better than the real cover. The layout on the back is very nice as well, it has the perfect quotes, a great, dramatic tagline that draws you in and some very intuitive brush strokes.

Mystery Competitor: The Mystery Competitor is obviously one of our very, very excelent Veterans that we've all come to know and love, and I for one can't wait to find out his true identity which will probably be relealed at the end of the competition. The box fits the movie perfectly and is very well thoughtout, it is very eye catching and is definatly a personal favorite cover of mine, if I could, I would print it out and relace the original movie with it.

I have made my final decision, it was very hard but I think that ultimately, ELCrazy's box is superior and deserves the 1st place spot, but it is a very close call.

[MARKER]

Nice one ELCrazy...congratulations making it to the next round!! That was a close match! --- M;);)C;);)

[TwistedTinkerToy]

I personally liked MARKER's best. Oh well, congrats. :D

[xIAMHUNTERx]

Bob Saget, I can't see either of them. >_____<

[Ladykiller]

I'm sooooo confused :confused:

[MugglesMan111]

I'm sooooo confused :confused:

same??? from what i gather though, elcrazy beat marker

[ELCrazy]

Nice one ELCrazy...congratulations making it to the next round!! That was a close match! --- M;);)C;);)

Thanks man (:

And you were actually my first guess :p

[MARKER]

Thanks man (:

And you were actually my first guess :p


Okay it's me! I thought it would be fun to have a kinda 'masked competitor' in the group... and The CodeMaster thought it was a good idea.
Unfortunately of course, I was talking to TCM on MSN when he was randomly picking the match-ups.... and I can tell you I was dreading getting you out of all the players....... and yep... he bloody picked you!! Aaaarrghhh ---- well... obviously, I didn't want The Codemaster either as that wouldn't be any fun. ;)

Even worst was when you asked me to make your box 3D.... I couldn't believe out of everyone - my competitor was asking me!! LOL -- I was gonna refuse, but thought it was better to convert the box so it looks like I wasn't the M.C. --- OH.... I actually submitted my box two days before to TCM, so I couldn't change it after seeing yours. LOL

Anyway... great box... it's a shame I met you in the first round considering the other competitors -- looks like you have a good chance of winning if your next boxes are as good as the first. ;)
