Link: Man, it's really hot up here...

Man! That fire gleeok really made a mess of this place! Good thing the mirror shield blocks fire!

Jared

Another peaceful day in Windsow Village, hopefully!

Sephiroth- Very nice. Why is that tree near the top alive, though? It wouldn't be able to stand the heat. I like the layout, but it's a little boring. You can't do anything about that, though. The lava is also a little bright. Tone that down a little. I also love the custom subscreen. Beautiful colors
9/10

Lightwulf- Nice custom tiles! There should be more burnt things though, because of the fire Gleeok and the normal fire. Like, charred walls and furniture! Nice concept too.
8/10

Jared - I replaced the "soft" looking bushes with the MC ones. The water needs to be a little further in, it doesn't look perfect yet. I like the way I did this screen Oh, and I made the house normal sized, unlike most quests :O I'm proud of this screen, and of myself

I love house styled dungeons, so Lightwulf got my vote.

I didn't want to vote for another OW screen today, but Sephiroth's shot was far too monochromatic and Lightwulf's mixed-bag graphics confused me.

Jared's shot looks good, just a little uninspired.

Jared's got my vote, but it doesn't really feel like much of a SotW this week... none of them really stand out to me and it feels like there's something missing. Maybe it's just me being all weird because there's only 3 entrants, but who knows?

Sephiroth: Palette needs work. The ground needs more contrast, and the lava needs less.
I feel it would look better if Link could walk to the west between the dead tree and the cliff.
If he already can, I suggest using ground tiles that don't look 'solid'.

Lightwulf: Your flat graphical style needs some shadows from the bookshelf and chairs
and a glow under the fire to help it pop out a little into the third dimension. I think that
the bookshelf and large couch would look better if they were backed towards the wall
so that they overlapped the wall tiles to some extent.

Jared: Not the most exiciting screen. It could use some NPCs or enemies or objects that
blow in the wind. Your darkest brown is too close to black so that it is difficult to make
out the detail in the shaded areas. I'd recommend lightening it up a touch.

Voted for Jared.

I hope the thread subtitle refers to number of entries, rather than quality

It refers to an album that I've recently listened to, like most of the other subtitles in the past couple of months... I didn't think about that interpretation, haha.

More of the same from me; Jared's shot isn't terrifically strong, but it's nice and has a pleasing palette. Lightwulf's is really chaotic for my liking and Sephiroth's is really monochrome.

I voted Jared this week.

To the other two Good Job

[Titanium Justice]

I voted for Jared. Nice graphics, especially the house tiles. Reminds me of Relic's work.

Sephiroth - B
Outside of the lava itself, it's not a very interesting screen, but from a design standpoint, it's good.

Lightwulf - B
Clearly a unique thing you are doing here, putting a fire gleeok in a study. Besides the fire gleeok and the furniture, the rest of the screen has a pretty basic design, which isn't bad, but doesn't do all that much to support the rest of it. I noticed the perspective is from directly above rather than with some amount of slant from the central viewing point. For these graphics all combined, it does feel a bit odd. But overall, it's a decent screen.

Jared - A-
The most appealing screen of the bunch, and my vote. The screen feels right, and is still interesting for something that is simple in concept. As simple as it also is, I really like the subscreen too.

[Lemon]

Lightwolf gets my vote. It looks like it's from a game, and the situation is immediately conveyed as dangerous, there's a fire, it looks like fun. The other screens lack the sense of fun or really anything beyond "generic volcano crust" and "generic links house".

[Jared]

Wow....I lost. By TWO votes.
Either way, I'm still super proud of myself this week
