Please vote for your favorite(s) till Sunday, December 6^th!!

Subsequenty, the scoreboard will be determined as follows:

• The winner of this poll receives 11 points, the second receives 10, the third gets 9, and so on.
  
• If two places tie, they will receive equal points. For example: there are two winners --> both will receive 11 points, the next lower in votes will be treated as third and hence receives 9 points.
  
• I am keeping track of who gets how many points. In the end, I will sum those up, announce the scoreboard, and, of course, the winners.

May the odds be ever in your favor

Time for some opinion not based on relation to one or another and without guessing what is what and whos is who and yarararara. I wont be soft, so grab this in case of this

- You tried but I did not understood the idea. It might have worked more without the sword or iron-bat if it's one of those. And also colors could have been choosen more wisely, maybe instead of this cyan color, it could be more like bandits_0b pants color. But hey, don't go this. You tried and you played, congratulations my friend!

- WHen I looked at your sprite, it's animation reminded me one of Nintendo DS game, but can't tell which one. Using something as a base is good, even I am using one of those. Color scheme looks nice. I can't decide if it's a Knight or Justin . Sprite design looks wise but I got few things for you:
*Animation, it could have been better with the movement. Now it looks like it goes few frames and starts from the begining which actualy lacks one frame which would make a perfect sequence. Thanks to his cape, I noticed that.
*Legs could use some movement.
*Hair could have had a more natural movement also, now it's like a leaves on the tree.


- I think it's Hunter. Looks nice, design is not changed too much but also not the same as it was before. Like the shading on the hair but I did not liked the black part of the outfit. Other than that, well done.

- Another knight/justin. Looks nice, design is good but I would go with some alternatives:
*If cape is like being blown by a wind, I would make the same thing for the hair.
*Fix his head shape to more round and do something about shading so it would remind me more of the Justin's.
*Red parts could change it's color or be a bit violet or less saturated so it would not stand out so much. Now it's like one of these dress up games where you just add detail.


- Aww,this one looks lovely. Like the new design. Totaly would love it as a Hero. One question still remains, is it a boy or a girl.

- Hmn, nothing actualy changed, just some minor details. I would ditch this Jan's oufit.

- A sorcerer. As a sprite it looks stiff. He should look less like a dressed up fake body(is it maneken?). It should have more life, not a toy but a real being.

- Not to be racist but MC, I mean hero as a round iron ball would do no good but reimagening looks quite good.
