Have to do them late tonight,but they will be done on time ^.^

wow, three really different takes. And I'm not the one who used white this round! [:O]

You surprised me with your lack of white! And I love that avatar. [drool] you make me want to recreate it! *grabby hands*

Which one? My creepy jar creature or my current one? Thank you either easy, and go for it!! I love what you can do with Avis.

It is crazy how we all went for different! Science, media, social. Lolol! I think I know who is going to win! I'm pretty sure I'm the least likely as you both made AMAZING avatars!!!! I'm so impressed!

I think you all have a chance :) I'm not making predictions on this cycle.

Your creepy jar one! And its really hard to tell who will win. It'll be close again.

Hopefully it won't be another tie again XD

Sudden death round maybe if it comes to that? xP

well i submitted my scores. I may have been a bit harsh, but I said i was going to be. this is a too close to home challenge, nothing would be perfect for me.

I think it'll be fine as long as you were accepting of the contestants' views as well! This was personal for all of us in one way or another, so it'll be hard. Being harsh may hurt someone more than usual because this challenge was close to the heart.

I think it will be another really close round.
And as a scientist, yes I made this closer than usual. My moms a nurse and I've got my BS too.

My entry, though inspired by a show, is very personal, too.
I've struggled before with my own appearance and fitting it. So this was very heart felt. :3

I agree with Neller, this round is very personal to everyone since we were all required to do something "ugly" that we see the beauty in...strangely enough we all picked something close to our hearts ^^;;

I think everyone did a great job, but I wanted to say that I really love randeh's entry
I think it's so creative and bold that you did it on gay pride.

You guys made this so hard T.T

Good! ;D

My scores are in early though ^.^

I seriously changed my scores like 5 times though.

Yeah i figured it would be. thats why I warned everyone and tried to make sure people knew before hand and afterwards that I may have been more harsh then I normally am.

I really really hope no one takes anything i said too harshly. You guys, hopefully, know how much a care about each and everyone of you. And your avatars are always brilliant, fantastic and beautiful. And I think you all did a wonderful job.

eepeep! I can get scores in tonight. or if I can get Mary down for her noon nap. I do have scores and feedback already forming in my head but I can't do the actual send in from my phone. >.

Such different approaches

I'm really excited to see who wins!

[eager] SOU! Did you notice how the color layering of the wings matches the color layering of the horns!? *is amused by mirrored effects*

Once more a close round between you too. However, as much as I would love to crown you all the winners, that cannot be.

So without further ado, the winner is!

neller:

WOW!
Oh my gosh! I truly wasn't expecting to win! Randeh and Long had such beautiful entries and concepts....it was so hard to compete with! This is such a shock!

As some of you said...everyone deserves to be a winner this round. This was tough!

Thank you! :D
