Here is my version of votes in the theme I pilfered from alien:

Entry #1: Narwhal by chickenwings
Theme: 4/5
Feels like something is missing. It’s either half an animal or needs more indication of it emerging from the ground.
Originality: 5/5
A unique style earns you points.
Scale: 3/5
It’s big but it’s not that complicated.
Technical Proficiency: 7/10
Not that many materials, lots of flat colors, but nicely curved and the horn adds detail.
Overall: 19/25

Entry #2: Ocelot by ab5597
Theme: 5/5
No complaints.
Originality: 3/5
It’s like a lot of other box animals.
Scale: 3/5
Not huge and also has the worldedit look.
Technical Proficiency: 4/10
Block creatures simply don’t take a lot of effort.
Overall: 15/25

Entry #3: Fox Head by sgtstickman
Theme: 4/5
Losing a point because it’s just a head.
Originality: 4/5
Losing a point due to lack of asymmetry.
Scale: 2/5
Losing points because it wasn’t a completed animal.
Technical Proficiency: 9/10
Very impressive level of detail. It’s hard to build a degree of realism in a block world.
Overall: 19/25

Entry #4: Penguin by sgt_panda
Theme: 5/5
It’s an animal, and complete.
Originality: 3/5
Lack of asymmetry and I get an angry birds vibe.
Scale: 3/5
Large but not massive, and not a lot of detail.
Technical Proficiency: 7/10
Much like the narwahl but not to the same degree.
Overall: 18/25

Entry #5: Silverfish by Johnsonclan
Theme: 4/5
Point knocked off because this is clearly not the living silverfish and is a variant of the Minecraft silverfish.
Originality: 3/5
I like the geometric details but it’s based on minecraft.
Scale: 2/5
Fairly small, each one is not very different from the next.
Technical Proficiency: 7/10
Few materials, but there is some detail in the execution.
Overall: 16/25

Entry #6: Bunchie by Bluino
Theme: 0/5
This is not a real animal, it does not fit the contest.
Originality: 1/5
This is based on another living person’s artwork.
Scale: 3/5
It’s large, and the 3D extension earns some points.
Technical Proficiency: 3/10
One material, three colors, and a guide for how you should build it based on the original artwork.
Overall: 7/25

1st:
chicken: 61/75
stick: 61/75

2nd:
ab: 51/75

3rd:
panda: 50/75

Runners up:
johnson: 44/75
Bluino: 38/75

Since we have a tie for first place, and I haven’t really thought about what to do in a tie-breaker… I’m going to give it to both of them this time around, but I’m going to figure out something for future contests.

:smiley: NARWHALS PREVAIL!
Not to mention Stick’s epic fox head!

It says I need to be in a station to go to my home :I

wait what… I figured it made an exception for homes… since they are homes… well I’ll look into it soon.
