This is where you post your ratings on all of the entries.
Scores are between 0 and 10, 10 is the highest.
You must give a score for each entry.
Voting goes until the end of June 7th.

And goddamnit, people, vote seriously. Do not give good art low scores because of personal bias or poor art high scores just to be funny, and vice versa.

Here are the entries that made it. A few entries have broken links and I haven't saved them, sorry.

Derek: 3, rather plain.
Mr. Remus: 1, for some reason, the gold tooth gives personality. still lazy, though.
Dinosaur: 2, I'd kill it.
Earl: 6, teehee, suprisingly good use of lineart-style.
Jerk: 2, Housemaster turned Japanese!
Thomas: 8, major style points.
Zack: 5, ironically generic.
Stickman: 0, wait, wasn't there a "Stickman with chainsaw" character?
Terrane: 5, pretty good, but messy in the wrong way.
Pipo: 6, has more style, but still confusing.
Infinity: 9, this started the whole angst bandwagon, and rightfully so.
Keron: 7, a good attempt at following it.
Gold Knight: 7, also good.
Kezef: 9, all of that hair and angst makes for great detail. Perhaps too much detail.
Damien: 5, a good start.
Diago: 4, good drawing and design, but the coloring looks "program-made" and goes against the pixel theme.
Jason: 1, the smoke blown through the mask is good, I guess.
Tim: 8, more kung-fu than five Bruce Lees.
Gilbert: 10, hot damn!
Adrian: 7, definately a step up, though the face is kinda wierd.
Herb: 8, lots of personality.

Y_Soft - Derek: The hair is nonsensical (why all those crazy lines on it?) and it's just kinda boring to look at. 3/10
Giz - BA Remus: Kind of funny to look at, I guess. Otherwise uniniteresting. 2/10
PHC - Dinosaur Pointless: I don't remember this character but it's a funny pic. Are those little circles under its head boobs? More eyes? It is hard to tell. Great expression. 7/10
PHC - Earl: Both characters look great. Well, the girl looks horrible but in a funny way. Less interesting than the above picture though. 6/10
PHC - Jerk: Ha. Horrible but kind of amusing. 3/10
Uncommon - Thomas: So much awesome. 10/10
Fortis - Zach: Very nice, though the caption is indeed pretty lame, and the coloring could be better. 9/10
Jsang - Stickman: Meh. 1/10
Kahn - Terrane: Hair is ugly and so is the thick white border around him. There's not much interesting about this one, but I guess the face looks okay. 4/10
Kahn - Pipo: What the fuck is going on here? I mean, really, what? I can see a guy, and it looks like he's holding a demon baby to his chest or something. And then there's random white shit to the side. EXPLAIN YOURSELF NOW. 2/10
Shadowiii: Infinity: This is pretty awesome and creepy. I like that it's moderately detailed without cluttering the picture with crap. The white outlines look a little awkward to me, but it's otherwise great. 9/10
Sephyroth - Keron 7: Very cool. I like this better than Shadow's, actually. Good use of shadow (lol pun). 10/10
Sephyroth - Gold Knight: It's nice I guess. Not really that interesting. 5/10
Fenrir - Kezef: Great looking pic. The shading is very well done. 9/10
Ssalamanderr - Damien Loki: I can hardly see it and what I can see doesn't look that impressive. 3/10
Kale - Diago: Is he wearing armor or a fancy jacket or what? It looks kind of neat I guess. No face is lame though. 6/10
Tsunamidog - Jason: FAIL. There's really nothing good about this. 1/10
Machu - Tim Taylor: Proportions are a bit awkward and the arms look rather like sticks (these are problems in most of the sprites I've seen by you). Still a decent rendition of Tim Taylor though. 6/10
Machu - Gilbert: Better than the Tim sprite but still has the same problems to a lesser degree. Right upper arm looks weird. Head is pretty good though. 7/10
AdrianX - Adrian: Pretty well drawn. The eyes are way huge though, even for anime. Also it's kind of dull. He's just staring, not doing any kind of interesting expression or pose. 6/10
Leroy - Herb Rushman: This is pretty good. I like the shading and the expression, they're well done. Background should probably have more contrast. JPG is bad, but I won't be lowering your score for that. 8/10

Ysoft's Derek: 4
Not too bad, but the mirrored image makes it odd to look at and the eyes look like they're trying to burn a hole in my skull.

Giz's BA Remus: 2
Funny, and good for what it is.

PHC's Dinosaus Pointless:5
Another funny one.The second face looks great, but the extra eye just looks odd.

PHC's Earl: 5
Again, the face looks great. His arm is a bit short though. He looks like my old math teacher.

PHC's Jerk: 6
Looks like it came straight from a game (Custom.exe?). His second arm (It is an arm, right?) should not be there.

Uncy's Thomas: 7
I'm not a fan of monochrome pixel art, but this is excellent.

Fortis's Zack: 6
I like the cartoony look, but the shading looks wrong, especially the hair.

J'sang'spar's Stickman: 1
That chainsaw reminds me of Wingedmene's sword.

kahn's Terrane: 7
Not bad. His eyes look a bit weird

Kahn's Pipo:5
Ooh, a bad guy. The second head looks like it was hastily drawn and his hand, a first glance looks like it's attached to a bare bone.

Shadow's Infinity: 6
Sinister. Very well done. The bleeding scar is a nice touch. His clothes lack definition though.

Sephy's keron 7: 6
The eyes look good, but the way the seam of his shirt continues through the shadow dosn't look right.

Sephy's The Gold Knight: 5
Nice. The symbol on his headband isn't right, and he has a very malnourished look about him.

Fenrir's Sorcerer kezef:8
What is that under his chin? Aside from that, this picture is excellent.

Ssalamanderr's Damien Loki:7
Quite good. His left arm seems to lack an elbow, and the hat looks like a diaper.

Kale's Diago: 8
Great, if you like chins and torsos. The glowing effect looks really nice.

T-Dog's Jason Voorees:3
It looks like a man in a ski mask smoking. It needs detail, and he needs copious amounts of blood on him to be a decent jason.

Machu's Tim Taylor:8
He looks like he should be dancing. A lot of effort went into this one.

Machu's Gilbert Smith: 8
Elvis, in lycra, with a croquet(spelling?) mallet. Does he have to have his underware on the outside?

Adrian's Adrian : 6
His eyes are a bit big, and his eyebrows overlay his hair. judging by his collar, his head is a bit too small for his body.

Leroy's Herb Rushman:7
Looks like a gorilla. His body and arms look good, the face is a little off-putting though.

3, Derek, by Ysoft-- Not too bad for a beginner, but the mirrored face really bugs me.

4, Mr. BA Ramus, by Gizmog1-- If viewed as most of these are originally inteded (as a person), this is severely lacking, but when viewed as an individual piece, it's decent. Would've been better with more detail, though.

4, Dinasaur Pointless, by PHC-- This frightens me. It sincerely frightens me.

2, Earl, by PHC-- Also frightens me... Earl(I'm assuming that's the fat man's name)looks okay if you are going for cartoonism, but the girl's anatomy and proportions are off- doesn't suit the picture at all.

0, Jerk, by PHC-- I honestly don't believe that any effort was put into this..

6, Thomas, by Uncommon-- Nicely done. It's a little off-balance, though.

4, Zack, by Fortis-- Needs more detail...

0, Stickman, by J'sang'spar-- Less work was put into this than Jerk.

3, Terrane, by rpgspotKahn -- Nice, but the pixil-ey look of the character doesn't work with the picture at all... The eyes also bother me, but that may just be a stylistic preference.

6, Pipo, by rpgspotKahn-- Here, the pixil look works just fine. It is fairly well balanced and just a little eerie.

7, Infinity, by Shadowiii-- The contrast with the detail of the face with the lack in the hair compliments this very well.

5, Keron 7, by Sephyroth-- Creepy...

4, The Gold Knight, by Sephyroth-- Nice try, but the shading and anatomy of the face is off..

10, Sorceror Kezef, by Fenrir-Lunaris-- OH. MY. GOD. It's going to eat me...!

4, Damien Loki, by Ssalamanderr-- Good, but fairly disproportionate, and the background is destracting...

9, Diago, by rpgspotkale-- Very well-cropped, with lovely coloring. The way the mouth's shape is drawn sticks out a bit too much for liking, though..

0, Jason Voorees, by Tsunamidog-- An MSPaint nightmare...

8, Tim Taylor, by Machu-- Nice anatomy and pose, but it is pretty uninteresting...

8, Gilbert Smith, by Machu-- Read above reason.

6, Adrian, by Adrianx-- The eyes are too large for his head, and the highlights are eye-catching, pixil-ey, and painful.

7, Herb Rushman, by LeRoy_Leo-- Nice, lovely shading and interesting, but the plain background killed it... Something a bit darker to contrast would be nice.
