Thanks for the compliments, guys!

This is turning out to be a pretty close battle. This is how _all_ battles should be…nail-biters!

I like Dan’s most because it is dynamic, yet reserved, and well balanced overall. Simply elegant, but with an undercurrent of action and complexity. To top it all off, it humbles me to think it was done in one-sixth of the time it took to do mine.

I like kei’s cityball thing, but I think the snowboarder throws the whole composition off. Also, although as a wall paper the contrast is good because it doesn’t interfere with icons on screen, I find it too washed out for my taste.

Electrongeek’s is a wonder of reflections and simple geometry. I like the little details he’s added in Photoshop like the little “+” signs and the white squares. I am not fond of the static nature of the piece, however. It is exactly what he calls it, an alien stone, and as such, it has no movement. While some may not find action as exciting as I, my feeling is that his piece would be much better if there was some movement or the anticipation of such.

Great work, all of you. I would be very much interested in more detailed explanations of all three, **and** another battle along the same lines, but with a subtle theme thrown in. Any takers? 😉

wow all of them look really good, I wish I could do that kind of stuff. I voted for geek’s since I like the composition and color. Good job! 😛

I voted alethos. Any thing made in 3d that is organic looking gets my vote before straight lines and metal. My second choice would have been kei. I have that image as my Desktop BG now. I loved the extruded sphere. Lokked like a ball of TV’s or something

I voted for kei’s. I really like his design, and I love the snowboarder going over the mountains and stuff. Great job to all though!

That’s one of the closest battles I’ve seen. Seriously all of those entries are absolutely fantastic. Me, I couldn’t do a 3D image if I tried. 🙂

But, my vote has to go to someone… And I’ve gone for Alethos. There’s just something alien about it, like you’re inside a virus or something. Kinda like those DNA helixes you see, only this is more… I want to say something like “bacterial”, but that doesn’t really fit… Words escape me for now.

Hats off to all four of you though. The metal things are great, really sharp and soooo cool.

Definitely ElectronGeek for me. It’s amazing. I know al put it a ton more time and I’m assuming more effort (AND wow it paid off), but geeks thing iis just too eye appealing for me.

Allright, this is a hard one:

Who would I take Dan or Electrongeek??  
Hard decision, but electrongeek made it… Gongrats…

I have chosen electrongeek…  
The reflections are very nice…  
The light-effects…

Just great…

All of them were exellent. really!

but geek and alethos really outdone themselves here. Was very hard for me to choose one:-\

I voted for alethos cause the colors on his work are more appealing to me and the elements of his work seemed to me a bit more original and organic to me.

Congrats dan, kei, geek and alethos! really good job!🙂

Hi,

I don’t get to see electrongeek’s entry. Could you (electrongeek) fix it please? The image doesn’t load.

Cheers

Hi,

Thank you electrongeek!

BTW, very nice! Not my cup of tea(I’m not into design trends) but it really shows your skills. Well done.
