Am I the first one? I hope so. :D

Well, guys, you've made a great job. As I said at another thread, IMHO you deserve better, but that's the game. I wish you luck, and looking forward to hear from you soon!

My girlfriend thinks DLF is pretty hot. I rate him pretty highly as well: a great draftsman and a gentleman to boot. He should've gone further but he'll do fine: talent will out!

Same goes for Warren. Great storyteller, fun style and a really cool dude.

Cheers guys. You were awesome!

You're both tops in my book. Thanks for turning up the heat and making this a pulse-pounding race to the finale. The offers should start pouring in soon so get ready! Save a copy for me!

Daniel Lafrance is great, when I saw his samples I just thought: this guy is already a pro, what is he doing here???? But maybe his first assignment wasn't satisfying enough to the public so he had to leave... too bad, I really thought he was going to be one of the tops!

Warren, to be true you wasn't one of my favorites here hehe but all 10 contestants are just awesome, way better than many people that are making tons of money doing terrible work. Anyway, I wish you both all the best, it's still only the beginning, I hope I'll see a lot of work from you in the future! This just wasn't the time!

You guys did an awesome job, and what's more, you showed everyone you can put together a quality assignment on a deadline. I wish you both the best and I hope somehow we can all meet for drinks someday!

Well this sucks. You guys both have some wonderful portfolios that are going to get yall far. Definitely hit up ChesterQuest as it looks like a grand oppurtunity. Yall deserve more than this half-hearted goodbye. I wish you the best and I hope the exposure from the contest opens doors for you both.

All the best,
nick

Congratulations for the effort, guys! I'd rather see you art in books than a good number of people already working, if that means anything...

Dammit! With Warren gone now I'm the only one growing this damn itchy beard!! Warren your portfolio was actually my favorite of all of the finalists, I'm a big fan and I hope that you'll continue working on sequentials because it's there man, sincerely.

Daniel - all I can say is Vive Lafrance!!

I hope both of you will follow along on the Play At Home so the rest of us can get to see what a huge bullet we dodged.

I had wanted to vote for Daniel Lafrance, but I knew my vote wouldn't save him from getting eliminated. All the best to you Daniel. I'll be checking out your website for anything new that you do. You've got some prime skills

Thumbs up Way to go guys!

Daniel, your opening panel was just beautiful, best of the bunch.
Warren, your first shot of Aspen was the closest to Michael Turner's look of the character, very nice.

THANKS for a Grand effort put forth by both of you.:D

I was already familiar with Daniel's work from the Drawing Board forum, and I think he's extremely talented. I'm sure the exposure he got here will bear fruits for him very soon (if it has not already). I'm sad to see him go, as he was one of my top three on this round, but the guy's in great shape, we'll be seeing a lot from him.

Didn't know Warren's work before this competition, but he did some great pages, as well!

Best of luck and much comic book work to you both, you guys totally deserve it.
