Pabru

Not even a snowstorm can whet Link's greed for new heart containers.

Dawnlight

Link never realized how high the "Upper" Zora River was.

Twilight_Knight

Deluxe

Nuvo

Still no sprites, but I do have a new seaside-type shack... that took me like, and hour to make.

First Vote....*yawn* couldn't sleep, I'm suffering from a soar throat.

I voted for Nuvo this week

Pabru - 8/10
I would have given this a 9 and voted for it if it were a gif shot. I know the main purpose for a jpeg if for copyright protection, but the overall contrast would look way sharper and crisp if it were a gif.

DLT - I got owned/10
Winning 2 in a row was great, but I'm sittin back with a bucket of fried chicken while I'm gettin whooped this week.

Twilight_Knight - 4/10
I never really liked the BB Logo. It would have been better if you changed the overall design completely. The letters in BB are too separated from each other. Using paint to put the letters together will fix that. Also, I strongly dislike that purple color on that background. Maybe a brighter contrast would be better.

Nuvo - 9/10
Even better than before! That is definitely well worth that hour making! Gourgeous design and creativity. As you said, the only thing that's missing are sprites. Well Done once again.

[MrMister]

Damn there are nothing but good entries this week, good job all of you!

In the end though I voted for Dawnlight AGAIN because, dudes, it reminds me of the upper Zora river in OoT and has a great general design. Well done.

Pabru was a close second with the always pretty DoR graphics.

Nuvo was third because is black-and-white-only-skills are off the hook.

Twilight_Knight was last. While an impressive title screen, it doesn't really have too much going on and I think the backdrop has a lot of repeated tiles.

Kudos to everyone!

I had to vote for Dawnlight for his unique and awesome use of PTUX.

[Dawnlight]

Well this screen was in response to Nuvo's saying in SotW 265 that he's been seeing too much of the same thing. So, I thought I went around looking at what kind of SotW screens out there were screens nobody have shown yet. And the answer to that was a river shot. I thought I might test out my river-making skills in SotW just to get the full reps and criticisms I need. I hope I inherited Mr. Z's awesome river-making skills.

I voted for Nuvo. Almost voted for Pabru, but I liked Nuvo's better.

I find it funny how you're winning.

I'm surprised myself. Guess I still have a shot for the record. I don't think any user has won SotW 3 times in a row.

NOTE: Not trying to be cocky. Don't go that way.

Nuvo gets my vote.

Edit: gets is not supposed to have a ' in it. =\

I voted for Dawnlight, primarily because it's the most interesting of the four.
If that shot wasn't there, though, I would have voted for Pabru or Nuvo.

[Neppy]

I went with Dawnlight this week. I like the look and feel of this screen. I love the colors used, not so bright.

Nuvo was a close second though. I'm lovin how this looks. Keep up the great work.

[Eddard McHorn Van-Schnuder]

The first shot is okay. There's nothing wrong with it at all, really. It's just that it doesn't really capture me. It's "just another DoR shot." It's a good one, sure, but it doesn't really stand out. It kind of looks like some of the shots included with the questfile itself, which again, isn't bad, but it lacks that spirit that a great looking quest has, if you know what I mean. But it is by all means more than good enough usage of DoR.

Twilight_Knight, I know it has been done before, but I've never really voiced my opinion on it... titlescreens in SotW. A titlescreen IS supposed to make the players want to hit start and keep playing the game... and while it's still not the best titlescreen, it's still... "just" a titlescreen. It's really hard to comment on the screendesigning aspect of this. If this where Titlescreen of the Month, it would have been entierly different, but it's not. I just don't know what else to say on this... my opinions are pretty similar to Dawnlights, over the screen itself.

Nuvo did a fantastic job with these tiles. I've been voting for each of his SotW's shots of this kind, as what he is doing is "kind of" unique. Yes, we've had something similar before, but Nuvo pulls it off with an entirely new style which really makes me want to play with it, when ever he decides to release it... IF he does, of course.

Dawnlight managed to pull my vote today. I can actually imagine the great river flowing from that point, and down into the awesome-looking place that is Dawnlights Hyrule. The palette is stunning, and the transparent skies works perfectly. Everything fits, and that's why I love it.

[MrMister]

Holy hell Dawnlight you are so unaware of how great your screenshot skills are!

I was gonna go with Pabru for the overall nice looking screen, but then I thought Nuvo's hard work really shows; the quality is very good for such a low colour depth. So I went with his in the end.

I don't like Dawnlight's palette at all, and TK's shot's not very interesting.

[Titanium Justice]

I voted for Pabru. It looks really nice for a winter shot.

[Zacron]

Pabru, Simply because I like the winter palette, and all the others are about equal in my vote. Pabru wins by .005%
