I voted for BCA, it just looks amazing. I just noticed a tile error above the door, but that doesn't change my vote. 9/10

TC - Um...seriously? I don't see anything about it, no theme, so I give it a grand score of a 0/10

Koh - Amazing. I love it! But the grass is kind of scattered, but otherwise, amazing screen! 8/10

Naldrag - Not a screen I would want to play on, or even vote for. No variety, no little grass, nothing. 1/10

Sephiroth - Great screen! I really love it. I loved how everything blended in so nicely. 8.9/10

I'll be totally honest here. This is maybe the second time I've seen "joke" entries in SotW, and I really don't like it. SotW was made so people can showcase their talent in screen-design with ZC, not so people can go LOLRANDUM.

That being said, Sephiroth's shot is utterly fantastic. If it wasn't for that though, I would have voted for Koh's shot. It's been quite a while since I've seen a good LttP-style shot.

[Moonbread]

I went with Koh's shot. The only real competition here was Sephiroth, in my honest opinion, but something about his shot irked me. I guess had you used that canopy overhead, Sephiroth, you would've had my vote hands down. Ah well, I'm just one vote and one opinion. And it's still a darn fine shot.

SotW 306. I've been waiting for it, and I'm not pleased with the results I see.

BCA: A little more effort and it would be perfect. I have a few problems, though, like the open corner and that it is not in ZC. 7/10.

Taco Chopper: This is something you do NOT want to enter again. I honstley say that this is worse than Ironfist's entry in SotW 300. Too bland. 0/10.

Koh: Better than most other LttP shots I've seen. It is not your fault that it doesn't look the best. 7/10.

Naldrag: Another joke shot. I wonder why you did not take the time to add lush detail to your screen. Better than Taco Chopper. 3/10.

Sephiroth: The best screen here. All of the tiles fit together in harmony. The only problem is that the white tips of the grass contrast against the greens. 9/10. Voted.

It's a shame you guys are thinking like this. My screen is actually a tribute to minimalism, as well as the avant-garde composer John Cage and his piece "4' 33"" (look it up if you have the time, or just sit staring at your monitor for 4 and a half minutes for your very own cover version). It is more of an art form than a joke shot, and hopefully there are some people out there who can understand where I'm coming from.

well if it is supposed to be art, then why is it so bland?
It basically has nothing at all on it. If you like the piece so much, then why dd you do such a poor job
reinventing it in Zquest?

Also,it's not even music. I don't really get the point. I...just wasted...4 minutes 33 seconds of my life.

You obviously don't understand, 4'33" shows that art is in anything, no matter how much it may seem that there isn't. 4'33" isn't just silence, the song is the noise in the room around you. All music is is a combination of sound and silence, it doesn't have to be any more or any less.

This isn't any more artsy than this.

I suggest you read up and stop being so ignorant!

I for one, think Taco's screen is a masterpiece and would have gladly voted for it.

Oh boy...I'm not touching this one with a 49 and a half foot pole...

So is it just me or does it seem Sephiroth's screens usually win by an incredible margin? Are they really that much better than everyone else's screens?

I think this is a pretty ignorant thing to say. I respect your opinion, but I disagree with almost everything you said in your rating of Taco Chopper's shot. Not only did I find his shot intriguing, but I liked Ironfist's as well. Just because you don't get his style of art doesn't mean it's something he "does NOT want to enter again.", I'd be happy for him to enter a similar shot again.

Sephy has more than everyone else's votes combined !

Oh really? I couldn't tell just by looking at the poll results.

[Koh]

It's just so astonishing. He's literally destroying the competitions XD! Well, it's alright, I'm just eager to see the SotM with all of the shots for it. It'll be such a mind-buster =D!

[Mitchfork]

I always prefer that people not talk about the poll results for the sake of people that haven't voted yet.

[Nathaniel]

Guys, we are not gonna have a heated debate any more over what is and what isn't art in SotW. It's opinion, not fact. People have them, and that is that, and it won't change. Get over it. I have my theory of what is happening here, but I will let things go on regardless. When people get angry over opinions like this, it really ruins what SotW is supposed to be about, not the screens themselves. Just calm down and don't take opinions you don't agree with too seriously.

I was just thinking the same thing.

BCA - 6/10
I like this screen, but not that much. The open corners and that awkward fence throw the whole thing off for me. I don't dislike the screen, but I don't think it's the best.

Tacco Chopper - 8/10
Love it. I love how the mountains, land and water all take up one third of the screen. I love how the animal is placed perfectly in the middle. I love how crisp and artsy the whole screen is as a whole.

Koh - 6/10
The shots good, and it's certainly functional, but something about it made me not wanna vote for it. I'm not sure. Maybe the colors? If you threw-in some yellow or orange I'm sure it would look a little more spiced up.

Naldrag - 5/10
The screens okay. It is functional, but also pretty bland. I don't dislike the whole screen, but I don't think it's good enough to get my vote.

Sephiroth - 8/10
Beautiful work on the colors and design. I like the grass tiles a lot, and I like the mountains as well. Great job.

Sephiroth narrowly achieved my vote this week, just barely edging out Taco.
