I was your second vote man, I'm on top of things. You deserve to win! Go Jon GO! :D mary

[Leonius]

This round was a tough choice for me because I want you both to win. In terms of art, you both did a fantastic job. Jon adding in more villains is what did it for me. I wish you both luck in your future opportunities.

It's nice to have celebrity judges, but where is there input? I hope it gets in before the voting is done.

[Goyo]

Reed did a better job than CPW during the whole competition and in the final assignment. Therefore, my vote goes for Reed.

By the way... CAIO OLIVEIRA!!;)

It would have been nice to get reaction from the judges before the voting opened. In the past rounds they've given me some valuable insight that I wouldn't have thought, of outside of "the art is pretty".

My vote went to Charles Paul Wilson II. He had the best all around submission this round.

Please note

If you are trying to prove a point by signing up and voting multiple times to see if we will subtract them, the answer is yes.

Are the multiple votes being subtracted throughout the voting or at the end?

Sad that people are trying to sabotage a great contest.

In my mind, without their input then what's the point of having a celebrity judge? Kudos to the those who did leave comments and crits. Not that this hasn't been fun and addictive but to see more pro crits would have been great. I've learned a lot from the crits that were posted and I'm not even playing!

I voted on what I personally liked best. the judges have there opinion of course and I'm sure it's very valide but I didn't want to be influenced by anyone....I choose Charles for the overall artwork. Good Luck Chuck!!!!

Experts who mentor and/or articulate quality in a talent competition in mainstream media generally have no vote because that's the media's way of implying that the majority opinion is more important than the scholarship of experts in a field who try to be objective and often articulate and displace their biases in their response to a creative work.

This is probably why it's a good idea that we don't have Nuclear Physicist Idol.

They are subtracted at the end so the poll is not messed up while voting is live.

STEM OP JON:)
