Well, this has been an incredible Iron Splicer competition! Without spoiling too much, I can say that the total score (counting both contestants) is the highest so far by a HUGE margin of more than 25 points! So sincere congratulations to both contestants for a very hard-fought competition!
Without further ado, here are your scores, along with a small selection of the judges' comments:
KullenuskaSplice #1: 37/40"The skill is amazing, but the final product is a little asymmetrical."
"Looks like an actual Linoone evolution."
Splice #2: 31/40"The proportions look sort of wonky but it's great otherwise."
"Another good one. The tails look quite strange and the back-spikes seem to go off to the right side a bit too much, though."
Splice #3: 32/40"Absolutely perfect."
"This is so majestic. Loving the wings and mouth addition."
Splice #4: 32/40"The shading's pretty top-notch."
"Ehh, I like the idea and all that, and I do like how you handled the tusks, but there are some very strange parts in the lining here and there. There also seems to be a limb that you can see between the front legs that's not supposed to be there."
Whole Collection: 33/40"Loses points because I don't get enough Mamoswine from the first couple splices."
"I do really like the ideas used in here, but the fine details can be a little lacking."
Total: 165
MakkilemoreSplice #1: 36/40"This one's really good. The only thing to dislike here would be the colouring around the eyes."
"The Sceptile tail is a little much, but otherwise perfect."
Splice #2: 34/40"What is that moustache supposed to be made of?"
"Extra points for the great description and name.
Splice #3: 30/40"This was executed very well. It wouldn't hurt to have added to it like on the top area."
"Simple, but it works. The top teeth could have done with repositioning due to Wailord's perspective, though."
Splice #4: 26/40"Compared to the other three, this is weirdly crude."
"Another silly one, but this one hasn't gotten an awful lot going for it. Beides it being rather bland, the transition from Dugtrio's dirt to Mamoswine's head is rather lacking."
Whole Collection: 32/40"Lots of cool concepts in this set as well."
"They look a bit rushed, and there were 4 days left when they were all posted. I say that perhaps you should've taken a bit more of the provided time on some of these."
Total: 158The winner is Kullenuska! Congratulations!
