GFX Con Computer Round 1: Jonmart vs Darkyre

Once again here are the rules:

Completely Computer:
1: You may use any program you have (Photoshop, Psp7, POVray, 3dstudiomax, Bryce, Maya, etc), so long as it doen't produce the picture for you.
2: You may NOT produce ANY part of the image on any medium outside of your computer. No hand drawing anything.
3: Try to get your image down to smaller than 1024x768 (only in terms of area, so if it's something like 800x800 thats fine), if you cannot, then simply post a text link to your entry so as to avoid horrid forum stretching.
4: Your work must be done completely by you. NO RIPPING IMAGES. You may use pictures of anime/game characters, etc. But the work must be at least 50% original. If you're unsure as to whether or not your image is acceptable, PM me.
5: You image may not be larger than 1 meg, if you're having trouble abiding by this rule, PM me and I'll give you a few pointers on image compression.
6: NO ANIMATED ENTRIES. I'm sorry, but this is all about still pics.
7: Your name/alias must be somewhere on the picture.

Note that all pairings were picked randomly by an anonymous friend who knows none of you and has seen none of your art, and thus is completely unbiased.

You have until Wednsday at noon EST to post your entries. The voting is open to everyone excluding those involved in the current match (so as to avoid self voting and whatnot). Each round until the finals will be decided by who reaches 10 votes first after both entries are posted. The finals will be first to 20.

If you need hosting, aim me at SSJVegita0609. Good luck!

My first and last foray into the world of pseudo pointillism.

And since I'm such a nice guy, Darkyre's image

Jon I appreciate the attempt at being nice, but Darkyre posted a link because the res was too high, not because he couldn't post the link himself. Oh well, its not too high by much, so its not that big an issue.

Anyways, both are very good, and I'm not just saying that to be nice, but Darkyre gets my vote, his just appeals to the style of art I like more, sorry jon.

I posted it because geocities blocks access to the image after you go over your bandwidth allocation. Geuss I should have made it a link though, oh well.

Although I think both are nice, I would have to vote . . .

Jon.
