The Votes are In for 'Character(s) and/or Scene from a Movie, TV Program, Book or Piece of Music' Theme (phew!)


The votes are in and tabulated for our final theme round of Challenge VII: 'Character(s) and/or Scene from a Movie, TV Program, Book or Piece of Music'. 

We were treated with 35 interpretations of the theme, from the movie 'The Man Who Would Be King', and TV series 'Rome', to the song 'Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier!' and children's comic 'Batman'. It was a wonderful panoply of scenes and characters - I want to thank all the participants for their creativity and hard work.

We had many ties amongst the runners up, and they are:

SanderS' 'The Most Dangerous Man in the World!'



 KyleC, ClintB, IanW, SimonM's 'Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep?'



MartinN's Commissar Ciaphas Cain - 'Hero of the Imperium'




LeeH and RayR's 'Inglorious Rejects'



KenR's 'Blake's 7'



Curt's 'The Duellists'




AlexS' 'Astérix and Obélix'




For our podium finishers we have: 

Third Place: Bark's 'Mystery Investigators'







For his masterful and very colourful brushwork Barks will receive 25 bonus points (and a Scooby Snack, if I haven't eaten them all...).



Second Place: MichaelA's 'Who You Gonna Call...'






Michael's incredibly cinematic vignette will give him 50 bonus points to add to his total. Well done Mr. Awdry!



First Place: ByronM's 'Steampunk Mary Poppins and Bert'






For his fine brushwork (and whimsical gift to his wife, no less), Byron will get an extra 75 points AND a gift certificate from Pig Iron Productions. Congratulations Byron, and thank you for treating us to your work.

Again, to all that participated, wonderful work! Bravo!

For those interested in the voting stats, here they are:



As hard as it is to believe we now start our last week of the Challenge. Our Daily Minions will take their teams for their final review and then this weekend I will manage the Free-for-All until the finish at 12:01am Monday - the first day of Spring! 

Remember, for both Saturday and Sunday ANYONE can submit as many entries as you like, so pile on - I want to be swamped with submissions!

Have a great week everyone!

  6. Thanks for the votes everyone, and congrats to all the other people that got in the top grouping here. I want a to do a shout out to Martin too, who I thought should have been top 3, the painting on those two figs was amazing! I really thought I was going to lose to him, and then he didn't even make the top 3 :-( Sorry man, you had my vote!
