[Cierra]

Satsumaru for me! The colours suit well and omg that guy looks like Squall Leonheart! <3

[Delitesco]

Voted for TT!

[KholdStare]

I would have voted for toxic_trance but Satsumaru had that lock and key thing going which clicked for me. It's the little things I tell ya.

My vote goes to Satsumaru.

[Izayoi]

Satsumaru for style, quality, color, and a lot of other things.

Your banner is kind of NSFW... yea really.

Edit: It feels like bondage, and I really don't like that.

Satsumaru gets my vote this time around!

Just what I was thinking.

[toxic_trance]

Firstly I would like to say I am happy with so many people voting.

@iyazoi... I am sorry if u found it offending. Generally people liked it so I didn't remove it

@kholdstare..

Spoiler:

U didn't notice the mistletoe square sign above the characters... Did u?

[KholdStare]

Well I noticed the signs for sure but I didn't read the words since I was in a hurry. To be fair, yours is really excellent. I just like the appeal of colors.

[toxic_trance]

@kholdstare..... Hehe.... What makes me happy the most is that u voted ^^

K.... Guys.... Spread the word more about the contest. I would love to.... But I won't be home till jan 1st.

[Aoie_Emesai]

My Vote goes to Setsumaru this time ^^

[Kinzoku]

I vote for Satsumaru, the colors and texture give the picture a nice touch.

[Marina]

Vote toxic - love the style and the overall feel I get from it

[Scep]

Eh... I totally forgot about the first voting phase apparently ~_~

Well.... My vote goes to the banner Toxic Trance Mainly for the awesome drawing and the perspective which i really liked. And, like ive said before, while Satsumaru's entry is really skillfully done, I don't really see a link to the theme "Winter memories".

Really close fight this time though. Can't wait to see the winner!

[Urei]

It was a hard decision. I opted between Satsumaru and toxic.

Satsumaru's work is really nice and has a very stylish feel to it. I really like the color scheme and presented characters. You can clearly see that the author put a lot of effort into that work.

Toxic on the other hand created a great composition. A scene that almost feels as if alive. Nice and unique setting. Considering the Theme I chose toxic.

@Evil Rick, I really like the way you showed the theme of the contest.

[toxic_trance]

I am bumping the thread. See this is the exact reason why I want everyone to leave a comment when they vote >.>

[HayashiTakara]

I'll have to go for Toxic, even though I find Satsu to be very well done, it actually doesn't meet the criteria of "memories". It just kinda looks like a poster, pretty vague as to what its about.

Anyway, only 3 submissions? O_O... I would've submitted something but the holiday season is never a good time D:

[toxic_trance]

@Hayashi..u have been away for so long that u have forgotten this is the second phase -_-

Three were chosen from 11 submissions while u were away >.>

Oh right... lol, yeah I have been away, my computer was failing on me and I just got it upgraded. Pretty Sweet setup too. That contributed to my lack of attendence.

[Valduran]

My vote goes to TT.

Satsumaru's was artistic and extremely well made(Honestly I think I like it the best), but as others have said, it doesn't have a very strong connection to this month's theme.
