Firstly I just want to use this section for thanks. Thanks to everyone who's participated and kept this contest alive, thanks to all who have helped run the contest in the past, and especially thanks to nicklegends and Linkle for helping host the first round of this contest. As always, it's been a blast, and I'm happy to still be a part of this team. Thank you, PureZC!

 

And now, for the final contenders... Good luck to you!

The Polar Plains of Kehlt... That ice crystal in front of the cave looks tainted with magic...

It was hard to decide. All three of these shots are very good in their own regard, though in the end I voted for Polaris's SotM 135 entry.

Gah! I love the first and third so much! While both are amazing I have to give additional credit to DragonDePlatino's for original graphics work on top of design.

I feel like this is going to be an incredibly close contest :P

 

Every screen is really good and looks amazing. I'll have to vote for Shane's 139 shot because I still really love that custom tileset and it looks so good.

Shane, 139.

 

I love that blue water. It's just so... chill. I mean, if you ever wanted winter water without it being ice, this is it. I love the color gradation as it goes from bright up top to dark below, and how you can still see the texture of the ground at the bottom even though it gets so dark that the details on the wall are fading to black. I almost never see water with that kind of depth, either here or in other similar games. The blue twinge on the ice is just right, the crystals and trees are nice, and did I mention I love the water? Because I love the water.

 

That said, DragonDePlatino has created a very unique and consistent set of graphics, not just the tiles, but the item and character sprites as well, and wrapped them all up in a screen that shows the set's versatility without it looking like any of the elements were forced in for variety's sake.

 

Absurdly close call, but leaned just a bit toward Shane's 139 in the end.

Voted for Polaris' SotM 139.

 

Man, this screen just looks so good!

The tileset is incredible, and I CANNOT DESCRIBE how awesome that water looks.

wow man. just... wow... this screen is awesome...  :wow:

 

Your other screen looks good Great as well, but the uniqueness of SotM 139 tops this one.

But this one is pretty cool overall, so have 3 clapping smilies as a reward, lol.  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Cool looking screen.

I like the mountains, and the sea rocks.

This is a very well constucted screen, except for one thing:

The tileset.

Unique as it is, the tileset is just a bit too cartoony for my tastes.

Only reason this screen didn't have my vote, aside from polaris' epic winter shot.

Fifty-five total votes were cast for one of the three finalists. The winner came down to the final hours, remaining close and switching leads more than once. But in the very end, only one can be the winner. That winner, by a single vote in a heated competition, was DragonDePlatino!
