Hands down STEVENCHO amazing use of crayons for the dirt and stuff on the back. Nice drawings.

[KoopaDasher]

I agree with Jevangod. Stevencho all the way. Amazing art, amazing coloring, and perfect use of (colored pencils?). Either way, I love it. Stevencho gets my vote.

[Geno]

It's killing me to vote against Slyder, but stevencho's design is just so damn colorful and appealing. So I vote for him.

[Lenny819]

Oh man Stevencho aced it. Looks awesome dude, Great job. My votes for Stevencho.

[CauliflowerJones]

My vote goes to TheSlyder. Not only did he create his own game entirely, his box looks professional and clean. Stevencho did a nice job making his design colorful but the colored pencil makes it look a little washed-out. I agree with Jevangod that the colored pencil lends a nice texture to the dirt, but the box isn't for a dirt game, and everything is dirt-textured. TheSlyder could have put more on his box also, but everything on his box is self-made, and I really respect that. Stevencho copied directly from the pokemon box.

In short, TheSlyder's game looks original and professional.

Stevencho's is well-done, but looks generic and childish because of the colored pencils.

I also need to note that the art on the three Pokemon on the back of Stevencho's box is nicely done, but the trainer is kind of sloppy and the Pokemon on the cover is almost indistinguishable.

Of course you're voting for Slyder...

Both are great boxes, but I have to go with Stevencho. Literally everything on his box was hand-drawn, and it just amazes me how good the actual drawings are too. Great effects with the crayons, it all works together so nicely.

TheSlyder also did a good job, I love how his drawings look like really cool sketches But, the back is very empty, and although you did draw, it was no where near the amount and magnitude of Stevencho's submission.

Great job to the both of you, but I'm going to have to vote for Stevencho.

Um, it is a Custom Art Comp, don't you think that the more he actually colored and sketched, the better it's going to look for the comp? Wow, just wow.

[nothing94]

Agree with afifan000 so

STEVENCHO!!!

[Eggboy'13]

Stevencho, because of your beutifully detailed screens, colors, etc.

[CauliflowerJones]

Of course you're voting for Slyder...

Wow, I thought I put forth plenty of legitimate reasons for voting for Slyder and not just "OMG LOLZ HES MY BF!1 <3" Thanks for insulting me and my integrity.

This contest has nothing to do with coloring and sketching, or even making the art on physical paper, which Slyder did. He just scanned them in and polished them on the computer. I think, as I said previously, that his is far more professional.

Because there were no guidelines for judging the contest, I used my own. I rated each box on how Clean/Professional it is, originality, layout, and artwork.

While Slyder's piece is quite sparse on the back-side, I think it surpasses Stevencho's in each of the other categories.

[numerobetically]

Lol... I like the use of colored pencils or whatever on stevencho's. So I vote for you

TheSlyder's is very nice too but it's too blank for me.

[HalfSwiss]

STEVENCHO for pretty much all the reasons everyone else said.

TheSlyder's is also very nice, but the composition of the art just doesn't seem right.

[stevencho]

Thanks for insulting me and my integrity.

I personally don't think he meant to be insulting.

I really like TheSlyder's box and I think it is a great piece of art.
Honestly, I thought he was going to get more votes than he has now.

[Tucker1140]

I go for stevencho. Even though TheSlyder created something of his own. stevencho really brought a lot of color to his design and if the fronts of boxes were drawn then... I'd want it to be the official!

[Drakxxx]

STEVENCHO wins Round 1, and moves onto Round 2.

Thank you guys for your participation. Both designs were really fantastic, and I appreciate your efforts and creativity.

[TheSlyder]

Congratulations, Steve. Drawing the entire thing on paper is indeed admirable.
