All in all I spent some where around the 100 hour mark for this entry.

Good luck to all :buttrock:
BEST ORIGINAL INTERPRETATION OF ESTABLISHED CHARACTER
ARTIST NAME: NatalkaHarding - Circe- Ulysses 31 - #32
Really like this piece. Solid modelling, modern character interpritation and workflow execution.
BEST VEHICLE/ BUILDING/ MACHINE
ARTIST NAME: Angel Nieves -Voltron - #10
A tough choice between this and Ken Lau’s (theKid123) re-interpritation and the space battleships. This won out for me because I think it is a superiour model in terms of detail and workflow.
BEST DIORAMA
ARTIST NAME: Robert Angol - Mumm-Ra On Steroids - #55
Another tough choice. Other Thundercats, MotU, the Danger Mouse and Smurf dioramas were great too. Although I think the flame effect defeats the level of detail in the final render the level of detail in the model itself and the re-interpritationl wins out.
BEST ACTION FIGURE
ARTIST NAME: Mike Hanson - Ace McCloud - #11
A really nice model that captures the feel of the Centurions series and toys.
BEST WIP
ARTIST NAME: Khurram. H. Alavi - She-Ra - #52
A really useful WIP thread amongst many others.
BEST MODEL
ARTIST NAME: TengChia Koh - He-Man & BattleCat Diorama #15
Excellence. This could have taken out half the categories above as well. Although George Evangelista (vshen) was another contender for the Ninja Turtles - Leonardo re-design and WIP thread.
Thanks everyone who contributed. What I gained from the challence: Learn Z-Brush…
[b][color=DarkOrange]BEST ORIGINAL INTERPRETATION OF ESTABLISHED CHARACTER
[/b]ARTIST NAME:[/color] [font=Verdana]Jonas Skoog[/font]

[b][color=DarkOrange]BEST VEHICLE/ BUILDING/ MACHINE
[/color][/b]ARTIST NAME: Angel Nieves
[i](Another favorite of mine the I followed throughout the challenge. Really faithful version to the cartoon that it brings back many good memories.)
Note: Really looking forward to seeing a textured version of this Angel

BEST DIORAMA
[/b][/color]ARTIST NAME: Scott Martin
(Really fun scene and the use of colors really got me on this one)

(Amazing! Feels like I can really grab it and play with it!) 
[font=Verdara][font=Verdana][font=Verdana]BEST WIP[/font][/font][/font]
